The world of Genshin Impact has been expanding, and every update brings new stories, new characters and new ways of fighting. With the advent of version 5.5, players have welcomed two very distinctive characters: Varesha and Ianshan. Their appearance has brought new combat experience and challenges, and also made us think more about the deep connotation of the world of Genshin Impact.
Varesha, as a five-star thunder attribute magic weapon character, is full of mystery and charm. She comes from Teteokan, a place that is not common in the story of Genshin Impact. Varesha’s personality can be described as complex and multifaceted-she is known as the “big eater” and won the 242nd Big Eater Competition by eating 80 servings of food. This setting is not just a humorous background setting, it reflects Varesha’s constant challenge to the limit and the ultimate pursuit of life. Her gluttony is not only to satisfy her taste buds, but also to vent her emotions, which is her inner rebellion against the impermanence of the world.
Varesa’s fighting style is as powerful and explosive as her personality. Her skill design makes her as fast as a bolt of lightning in battle, and she can cause huge damage through falling attacks. When she reaches the maximum number of Night Soul points, she enters the “Fiery Passion” state, which makes her attacks more fierce and even has a stronger ability to resist interruption. This skill design not only makes her highly explosive in battle, but also makes her character more charming. Every time she attacks, it seems that she is resisting the shackles of fate and is eager to break through all restrictions.
However, behind Varesa, there is also a deep loneliness and fragility. Her title of big eater may be her attempt to fill the emptiness in her heart in an extreme way. In Mavica’s voice, it is mentioned that every time she checks out, Varesa always orders a lot of food by herself. This behavior undoubtedly reveals that behind her strength and independence in the eyes of outsiders, there may be unspeakable loneliness and helplessness. Her gluttony seems to be seeking an outlet for her emotions in an extreme way. Perhaps it is in this intense loneliness that she constantly seeks inner balance and self-identity.
In sharp contrast to the fierceness and impact of Varesa, Ianshan’s character is more calm and rational. As a four-star thunder attribute long-handled weapon user, Ianshan’s fighting style is no longer a violent impact, but a careful calculation and rational judgment. Her skill design enables her to provide attack power bonuses to teammates through the kinetic energy ruler, and constantly optimize her combat strategy according to the changes in the night soul points. Every attack of Ianshan seems to be carefully considered, and her battle is more about winning by accurately controlling the situation.
Ianshan’s skill mechanism design makes her a character that pays great attention to cooperation. Her attack power bonus is not a simple numerical increase, but is achieved through her kinetic energy ruler, a special item. The kinetic energy ruler will provide different degrees of bonuses to the current active team members according to the changes in Ianshan’s night soul points. Ianshan’s own Night Soul Points are constantly adjusted through her combat performance and the actions of the surrounding team members. This design not only shows her great support for her teammates, but also reflects her calmness and wisdom in battle.
But behind Ianshan’s calmness, there are also her inner struggles and uneasiness. Her fighting style depends on the judgment and control of the situation, and this rationality and precision may be a way for her to avoid emotional fluctuations. She overcomes the difficulties in life through analysis and calculation, but can rationality completely fill the emptiness in her heart? Ianshan’s kinetic energy scale is exactly the balance she strives to find between rationality and sensibility, and every decision she makes is made in the tug-of-war between the two.
The two characters, Varesha and Ianshan, actually represent two different ways of coping. In this world full of uncertainty, some people choose to break through all obstacles through powerful force and impact, while others choose to calmly analyze and rationally control the situation. Varesha and Ianshan, both in terms of personality setting and combat style, show the extremely rich diversity in the world of Genshin Impact. Their existence gives players more choices and makes us reflect more on how to deal with life.
In fact, aren’t we constantly making choices in life? Sometimes we choose to fight hard when facing difficulties like Varesha; sometimes we calmly analyze and plan like Ianshan to find the most appropriate solution. No matter which way, the ultimate goal is to find your own balance point so that you can still maintain an unyielding attitude in this challenging world.
In the 5.5 version update, in addition to these two new characters, Genshin Impact also launched two new sets of holy relic sets, namely “Long Night Oath” and “Deep Corridor Finale”. The design of these two sets of holy relics is highly consistent with the combat style of Varesha and Ianshan, providing more tactical choices and strategic matching. Players can flexibly choose different holy relics according to their own character lineup to improve their combat power, thereby further enhancing the output ability of the characters.
In short, whether it is the addition of new characters or the launch of new holy relic sets, the 5.5 version of “Genshin Impact” makes the gameplay richer and more diverse. The appearance of Varesha and Ianshan not only brings a new fighting style, but also allows us to feel more profound thoughts about power and wisdom, impulse and rationality from behind these characters. In the next journey, players will be able to find their own power and write their own legends through constant exploration and choice.
