In Genshin Impact, it took several years before players were treated to a tall male Anemo character, but one has finally been released: Ifa! He's a catalyst user from the Flower-Feather Clan in Natlan, and he fights alongside his brother Cacucu, a Qucusaur.

A Saurian vet, Ifa works hard to take care of the resident dragonfolk of Natlan. In battle, he uses his Anemo Vision and a gun to fight enemies. Those looking to add him to their team will want to find the items in this guide to maximize Ifa's potential.

Saurian Claw Succulents can be found only in Natlan, though they are dotted around some easy-to-spot locales. They can also be grown in the Serenitea Pot! A few can also be purchased. Cintli sells five of them every three days, at a price of 1,000 Mora each. He can be found in the Stadium of the Sacred Flame.

Knowing the schedule for some of Genshin Impact's Domains can help players collect certain items relatively painlessly.

Trounce Materials - Ascended Sample: Rook

Ifa's trounce material, the Ascended Sample: Rook, is only obtainable from the new weekly trounce domain, The Game Before the Gate. To unlock access to this trounce domain, simply complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest: Paralogism.

Players who have not yet completed this quest can challenge the Game Before the Gate if they've reached AR40, but they can only do so in solo mode. The Quick Challenge option does not allow for challenging this trounce with other players, so be sure you can complete it on your own!

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
