New Genshin Impact leaks offer a glimpse into a powerful new DPS character slated for the highly anticipated 5.0 update, which will introduce the Natlan region following Fontaine's storyline conclusion. This update promises a wealth of new content, including terrain, characters, weapons, and narrative expansions within the fiery Pyro nation of Natlan, ruled by the War God, Murata.
Insider information from Uncle K details a five-star male Dendro Claymore user. This character's kit will uniquely leverage the Bloom and Burning elemental reactions. Bloom, triggered by combining Dendro and Hydro, creates explosive Dendro Cores, while Burning, a simpler Dendro/Pyro combination, inflicts a damage-over-time effect. This marks the first five-star Dendro Claymore character in the game.
However, the reliance on the Burning reaction raises concerns amongst the community, as it's considered less potent than other Dendro reactions. This contrasts with the upcoming four-star Dendro support character, Emilie, whose initial Burning-focused kit has been reworked for greater versatility in update 4.8.
While Natlan's Pyro Archon is confirmed for the roster, further character reveals are anticipated during the update 4.8 Special Program around July 5th. Speculation also points to Columbina, the Third Fatui Harbinger, as the primary antagonist for the Natlan arc, a Cryo user potentially joining the game in 2025.
