Iansan, a familiar face in the game, describes Varesa with these words:
"Varesa, my most peculiar student… No one matches her easygoing, carefree nature. No matter where she travels, she’s like a child on an adventure—always searching for delicious treats or a cozy spot to rest... But beware! If you ever fight Abyss monsters with her, the moment she gets into the zone, she turns into an unstoppable force!"
Alongside Varesa, another character is stepping into the playable roster in update 5.5—Iansan! Previously an NPC, Iansan now emerges as a 4-star Electro user wielding a Polearm. Her transformation into a playable character has been eagerly anticipated by the Genshin Impact community.

Varesa shares her admiration for Iansan:
"Iansan is Natlan’s top trainer and the person I admire the most! People say I’m talented, but without her training, that talent would have gone to waste. Don’t worry if you’re not used to working out—Coach Iansan knows how to train anyone! Oh, by the way, wanna check out this flyer? She’s recruiting new students!"
With these exciting additions, Genshin Impact update 5.5 promises to bring new dynamics and adventures to the game. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare to welcome Varesa and Iansan to your team!
