New Leaked DPS Character Preview for Genshin 5.0 Update

Genshin Impact 5.0 Update Leaks: New Dendro DPS Character and Natlan's Arrival

Exciting news for Genshin Impact players! Leaks surrounding the highly anticipated 5.0 update, which introduces the Natlan region, have revealed details about a new playable character. Following the conclusion of Fontaine's storyline, Natlan, the Pyro nation known for its warrior culture and ruled by the Pyro Archon Murata (God of War), will finally open its doors. This update promises a wealth of new content, including landscapes, characters, weapons, and storylines.

A prominent leaker, Uncle K, has shed light on a new five-star Dendro DPS character. This character, a male Claymore user, will be a unique addition to the game, marking the first five-star Dendro Claymore wielder. Their abilities will reportedly center around the Bloom and Burning elemental reactions. Bloom, created by combining Dendro and Hydro, produces explosive Dendro Cores. Burning, a simpler reaction combining Dendro and Pyro, inflicts a damage-over-time (DoT) effect.

Community Concerns Regarding Burning Reaction

The reliance on the Burning reaction has sparked debate within the Genshin Impact community. Many consider Burning a relatively weak Dendro reaction compared to alternatives. This skepticism is further fueled by the recent adjustments to Emilie, a confirmed five-star Dendro support character arriving in update 4.8. Initially designed around the Burning reaction, Emilie’s kit has reportedly been buffed for greater versatility and team compatibility.

Confirmed and Rumored Characters

While the Natlan Pyro Archon is the only confirmed addition for 5.0, more Natlan characters may be unveiled during the update 4.8 Special Program (around July 5th). Further leaks suggest that Columbina, the Third Fatui Harbinger, will serve as the main antagonist in the Natlan arc. This powerful Cryo user is speculated to become playable sometime in 2025. The upcoming updates promise a thrilling journey into the fiery heart of Natlan and beyond.
