Genshin Impact Confirms Banner Characters for Phase 1 of Version 5.5
Genshin Impact officially reveals the five-star and four-star characters that will appear on the first banner cycle of the upcoming Version 5.5.
Even though Varesa and Iansan have yet to arrive, new leaks have revealed more details about a character named Ifa, who briefly appeared in a previous Genshin Impact Special Program event. A post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subReddit has revealed Ifa's complete character model. According to the leaked image, Ifa has a tall male model type, and the Vision on his back confirms that he will be a new Anemo user. Natlan's official storyline has mentioned Ifa occasionally, but little official information is available about him. Ifa is known as a popular veterinarian who takes care of Saurians, small dragons exclusive to Natlan. His model stands out from other Natlan characters, blending cowboy and alchemist aesthetics. He also wears a stylish hat and a long coat with turquoise-orange patterns.
Genshin Impact: Ifa Release Date Expectations
As for Ifa's release date, there is currently little information available. Players will have to wait for the upcoming Genshin Impact 5.6 beta phase for more details. If his kit is included in this beta, Ifa will likely arrive in update 5.6, which, based on HoYoverse's usual update schedule, should launch around May 7. Regarding his personality, Genshin Impact's Hydro user Mualani has confirmed that Ifa is highly efficient and enjoys participating in everything he gets invited to.
Overall, fans are eager to see Ifa in action, with many hoping he will be a five-star character in Genshin Impact due to his striking design. According to the main storyline, Ifa is also good friends with Ororon, meaning the two could appear together in future story content. Fans have also noticed an interesting detail, a scar on his left hand, sparking discussions about which Saurian might have caused it.
As Natlan’s storyline nears its conclusion, Genshin Impact fans have begun speculating about upcoming regions. The game typically teases new regions months before their official debut, and there is a strong possibility that update 5.6 will feature a trailer for the next region, likely Nod-Krai, the southern part of Genshin Impact's long-awaited Snezhnaya region.

WHERE TO PLAY
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.

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.

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!
