Summary
- New Genshin Impact leaks are showing off a unique part of upcoming character Varesa’s in-game kit.
- Varesa’s Elemental Skill will reportedly allow her to ride atop lava without taking damage.
- Varesa’s movement will likely be useful in Genshin Impact’s newest areas in Version 5.5, with a volcano region said to be added.
A new leak shared from Genshin Impact reveals an important detail about upcoming character Varesa, confirming a major movement perk for the new character. With the HoYoverse RPG’s newest region hitting the halfway marker of its cycle, Natlan still looks to have plenty of new characters on the way. Leaks and rumors have hinted at a variety of new characters coming to the game, including the long-rumored Skirk, Iansan, and plenty of other new additions. Now, one of the game’s next roster members looks to boast an important aspect to their movement.
Each of Natlan’s playable characters have been able to use the regional “Nightsoul” mechanic within Genshin Impact to different effects. Mualani’s Elemental Skill allows her to ride across the water for a limited duration, while others like Kachina can use her Skill to quickly climb mountains. Many of Natlan’s unique movement mechanics also accent pre-existing abilities, like Kinich being able to grapple through the air and Mavuika riding her motorcycle to give her increased speed. Now, new character Varesa is set to bring a unique new type of movement to the game.

Genshin Impact Leak Shows Important Varesa Detail
A recent post shared to the Genshin Impact leaks subreddit shows off Varesa’s unique movement in one of Natlan’s new areas. According to the leak, Varesa will be able to use her Elemental Skill to ride across the lava in Genshin Impact‘s new volcano region. Previous leaks have also suggested that Varesa will not take any damage from riding across the lava, giving her the unique ability to traverse lava-filled areas. Varesa is currently expected to be released as a new five-star character with Version 5.5, currently scheduled to release on March 26.
With leaks beginning to surface about Version 5.5, fans have been given an early idea about how Varesa will play in Genshin Impact. Varesa is expected to be a hypercarry DPS character with a heavy focus around using Plunging Attacks as her main source of damage, coupled with Charged Attacks. Varesa is also expected to boast a special “Limit Drive” state attached to her Ultimate, allowing her to repeatedly re-cast her Ultimate for massive damage. Varesa is set to debut as a new Electro character within Genshin Impact‘s roster.
Varesa is not the only new character said to launch during the Version 5.5 update with another long-awaited character on the way. Rumors have heavily suggested that Iansan will finally be making her debut during Version 5.5 as a four-star character. Iansan first appeared in a minor role in Version 5.0’s main story and was the first Natlan character to be officially revealed by HoYoverse, featuring in the “Travail” trailer shortly after Genshin Impact‘s launch. Genshin Impact fans look to have a pair of powerful new Electro options for their teams with Version 5.5’s launch.
