Genshin Impact Leak Teases Cryptic New Character

Genshin Impact Leak Teases Cryptic New Character: The voice lines introduced in Version 5.0 suggest the introduction of Ifa, a character hailing from Natlan, who has yet to be featured in Genshin Impact. Although the vast open world and setting of Genshin Impact are frequently recognized as key strengths, the true allure lies in its diverse and colorful characters. Each area of Teyvat, including figures like Furina and Hu Tao, has its own set of fan favorites, and Natlan is anticipated to contribute to this tradition. Characters such as Xilonen and Mavuika have already begun to attract a fervent fanbase, despite their release being months away.

In Genshin Impact, some characters, such as Clorinde, Baizhu, and Dainsleif, may require a significant period before they are added to the playable roster, with their introduction on Event Banners possibly being years away. However, following the Inazuma update, the developers have frequently teased upcoming characters through voice lines or incidental dialogue during flagship events. Ayato and Emilie are prime examples of this trend.

It appears that the tradition is poised to persist in Natlan, as all three characters from Genshin Impact Version 5.0 reference an individual named Ifa in their voice lines. This information was sourced from ambr and disseminated within the Genshin Impact Leaks community on Reddit. While the details do not explicitly confirm Ifa’s vision, tribe, or rarity, he is characterized as a skilled athlete, a physician who provides care for Saurians, and a person with a friendly disposition. Notably, Kachina’s voice line suggests that Ifa possesses the ability to fly, which could indicate that he has an Anemo vision or is affiliated with either the Pyro or Anemo tribes of Natlan.

Who is Ifa in Genshin Impact?

Although attempting to uncover Ifa’s identity as early as Version 5.0 may ultimately yield little success, there is significant speculation to consider regarding the role he might fulfill. In the context of real-world mythology, Ifa is the Yoruba god associated with divination and wisdom, also acting as the messenger for Olorun. Since Ororon draws inspiration from Olorun, it is conceivable that these two Natlan characters are interconnected, potentially even originating from the same tribe. Should the assumption hold that Ororon is the first tall male Electro character, Ifa could potentially be positioned as the first tall male Anemo character in Genshin Impact.

As Genshin Impact players are already aware of the sequence in which Natlan characters will be introduced up to Version 5.4, it is likely to be some time before Ifa appears in the Event Banners. Players can anticipate exploring the new Genshin Impact region and participating in its events starting on August 28, 2024, when Natlan is expected to welcome the Traveler.
