“Genshin Impact” has been very popular around the world. With its open world design, exquisite graphics and rich character system, it has successfully attracted the attention of countless players. Each version update injects new vitality into the game, and the arrival of version 5.5 has brought many exciting new changes. In particular, the appearance of new characters and the optimization of the relic system will undoubtedly provide players with more tactical choices and game depth.
In this update, the addition of two new characters, Varesha and Ianshan, has become the focus of discussion among players. In addition, the newly added relic set also brings greater flexibility to character development and combat strategies. These changes not only change the player’s gaming experience, but also make the entire “Genshin Impact” combat system richer and more interesting.
Varesha: The powerful output and tactical depth of the thunder attribute magic weapon character
Varesha, a new character from Teteokan, is one of the highlights of this version 5.5. As a thunder attribute magic weapon character, Varesha’s background setting is very unique. Not only is she a foodie who always wins championships in her hometown competitions by eating super-large portions of food, but her powerful output also makes her irreplaceable in battle.
Varesa’s fighting style is mainly based on high burst output, and she can increase her attack power by accumulating “Night Soul Points” in a short period of time. When her Night Soul Points reach the maximum, she enters the “Fiery Passion” state, at which time her output ability is greatly improved. In particular, her falling attack and elemental burst can bring huge lightning damage, making her the best choice when dealing with single enemies.
Varesa’s skill design is deeply loved by players. Her elemental burst can instantly restore Night Soul Points and immediately enter the “Fiery Passion” state, enhancing her anti-interruption ability and increasing the damage of falling attacks. This skill design gives players more operating space and strategic flexibility. Especially when facing powerful enemies, Varesa can quickly weaken the enemy’s defense line by constantly triggering explosive skills and help teammates complete the battle.
Ianshan: A supporting character with a long-handled weapon with thunder attribute
Different from the burst output of Varesa, Ianshan is a character who focuses more on support. She uses a long-handled weapon and focuses on gain and output assistance. As a four-star thunder attribute character, Ianshan’s skill mechanism focuses more on teamwork and strategic operations than Varesa.
Ianshan’s core skill, “Kinetic Energy Scale”, allows her to increase the attack power and elemental energy recovery speed of the current active team members according to her own Night Soul points. Her skill design is not simple, but requires players to accurately grasp the timing of skill release. Through a reasonable combination of skills, Ianshan can provide teammates with continuous gain effects, so that the output capacity of the entire team is improved.
It is worth mentioning that Ianshan’s kinetic energy scale will also recover energy according to the movement of her team members, so that her skills not only have the ability to gain, but also enhance the flexibility and combat rhythm of teammates. Her design is in sharp contrast with Varesa’s high burst output, and the two are very complementary in battle.
The addition of new relics: bringing more possibilities for character development
In addition to the addition of new characters, the 5.5 version update also made important improvements to the relic system. This time, the newly added relic sets – “Long Night’s Oath” and “Deep Corridor Finale” will provide players with more strategic choices and character optimization space. The addition of new relics can not only improve the basic attributes of the character, but also form a closer cooperation with the character’s skill system, allowing players to flexibly choose the combination according to different combat needs.
Long Night’s Oath is a relic set designed for characters who rely on falling attacks. Its two-piece effect can increase the damage of falling attacks, while the four-piece effect can enhance the character’s continuous output ability, especially when hitting the enemy, accumulating more Night Soul points for the character, thereby triggering higher output. For Varesa, the Long Night’s Oath set is undoubtedly a perfect match, which can make her falling attacks more deadly and increase her explosive power in a short period of time.
Deep Corridor Finale is more suitable for characters who rely on ordinary attacks and elemental bursts. The two-piece set effect increases ice damage, while the four-piece set effect can improve the character’s output ability when the elemental energy is zero, allowing the character to maintain high-intensity output in a low-energy state. For Ianshan, the gain effect provided by the Deep Corridor Finale set can help her play a more important auxiliary role in the team and improve the output efficiency of the entire team.
The addition of these new relics not only provides more character matching possibilities, but also makes the player’s choices in battle more diverse. The reasonable matching of relics can provide different tactical support for each character and improve the player’s strategic operation space.
Role matching and tactical application: the perfect complementarity of Varesha and Ianshan
With the addition of the new characters Varesha and Ianshan, players’ role matching and tactical choices have become richer. The complementarity between the two in battle is especially reflected in the balance between output and gain. In actual operation, players can combine Varesha’s burst output with Ianshan’s gain effect to form efficient teamwork.
For example, players can first use Ianshan to provide buffs to teammates, and then switch to Varesa after the enemy is sufficiently weakened, using her high burst ability to quickly end the battle. The combination of the two can ensure the team’s continuous output while improving the fluency of the entire battle rhythm.
The depth of this strategic combination makes the 5.5 version update more challenging and interesting. Players can choose different characters and match them with holy relics to create a tactical lineup that best suits their game style.
