Every update of Genshin Impact will bring new challenges and opportunities to players. The arrival of version 5.5 has once again aroused heated discussions among players, especially the appearance of new characters and the adjustment of some game mechanisms. In this version, the addition of Varesa and Ianshan has become the center of the topic. As representatives of thunder-attributed characters, they have their own characteristics in the game, which not only broadens the players’ tactical choices, but also brings more possibilities to the battle process.

This article will analyze these two new characters in version 5.5, explore their skill characteristics and combat positioning in depth, and combine the changes of the new artifact system to provide players with a more comprehensive strategy guide. Whether you are a player who prefers high burst output or a player who likes control and assistance, Varesa and Ianshan can bring a lot of surprises to your team.

Varesha: A powerful output player of thunder attribute magic weapon character
Varesha’s appearance undoubtedly adds more options to the thunder attribute lineup of “Genshin Impact”, especially her performance in single output. As a five-star character, Varesha’s skill design is obviously centered around burst damage, which makes her an important output character when facing powerful enemies.

Varesha’s skill mechanism depends on her “Night Soul Points”. Every time she uses an elemental skill, she will accumulate a certain number of Night Soul Points. After reaching the upper limit, she will enter the “Fiery Passion” state, which greatly improves her attack ability. Especially when releasing elemental burst skills, Varesha can not only cause high damage, but also quickly restore all Night Soul Points and enter the next round of burst state.

In actual combat, Varesha requires players to cleverly control the release rhythm of skills. Her elemental burst and elemental skills complement each other and can cause extremely high damage in a short period of time. She is very suitable for facing enemies with high health, especially in battles with elite monsters and world bosses, Varesha can deal decisive damage.

However, Varesa’s weakness is her weak survivability. Although her output ability is extremely strong, she may be in a relatively passive state when facing some enemies that counterattack quickly. Therefore, when using Varesa, players need to consider how to maximize her output and match her with some auxiliary characters to make up for her shortcomings.

Ianshan: Auxiliary enhancer of thunder attribute long-handled weapon characters
Unlike Varesa’s high burst output, Ianshan’s design focuses more on team gain and assistance. As a four-star character, her skills and elemental bursts are more centered around the support of teammates. In terms of skill release, Ianshan can greatly increase the attack power of surrounding teammates and help the team recover elemental energy more quickly, which makes her auxiliary role in battle particularly prominent.

Ianshan’s elemental skill “Kinetic Energy Scale” can provide teammates with continuous attack power bonus, especially when facing strong enemies. This buff effect can significantly improve the team’s comprehensive output. And her elemental burst skill can greatly increase the attack power of teammates, making her presence a great help to the team’s output. It is particularly suitable for matching with Varesa. Ianshan can provide the necessary buffs for Varesa, making Varesa’s high burst output more rapid.

However, Ianshan’s output ability is relatively weak, and her main positioning is still auxiliary. In some high-intensity battles, her role may not be as direct as Varesa, but she is undoubtedly the key to improving the team’s survival and output.

Relic matching and role play: How to make Varesa and Ianshan stronger
With the addition of new relics in version 5.5, players can further enhance the character’s ability through more detailed relic matching. For the two new characters, Varesa and Ianshan, reasonable relic selection is particularly important. The following are suggestions for their relic matching:

Long Night Oath Set: This set of relics is particularly suitable for Varesa. Its two-piece effect can increase the damage of falling attacks, while the four-piece effect can accumulate the “Eternal Flow of Glory” effect after attacking the enemy, further increasing the damage of falling attacks. As a character who focuses on burst damage, Varesa can greatly improve her attack effect by choosing this set of relics, especially when facing enemies that need to be killed quickly.

Deep Corridor Finale Set: This set of relics is more suitable for auxiliary characters like Ianshan. Its two-piece set effect can increase the ice element damage bonus, while the four-piece set effect can increase the character’s damage output when the elemental energy is zero. As a buffing character, Ianshan can improve her own output ability through this set of relics, especially in the absence of energy support, her attack power can also be effectively enhanced.

In the choice of relics, players can match different sets according to the positioning of Varesa and Ianshan to maximize their advantages. For Varesa, burst damage is the key, while for Ianshan, improving her support and buffing abilities is the primary goal.

The dual combination of Varesa and Ianshan: both offensive and defensive
The combination of Varesa and Ianshan is a highlight in version 5.5. Although their skill designs are different, they complement each other very well. As a DPS character, Varesha can cause a lot of damage in a short period of time, while Ianshan can provide continuous buff effects to teammates to ensure that Varesha’s output is uninterrupted. The combination of the two allows players to quickly adjust tactics in battle and flexibly deal with different types of enemies.

In addition, Ianshan’s buff effect can also help other characters increase their output, making the combat efficiency of the entire team more efficient. When dealing with strong enemies, Varesha’s high burst and Ianshan’s auxiliary cooperation can form an effective attack and defense system to ensure that players are in a favorable position when facing various challenges.

Summary: Flexible character and relic matching is the key
The update of “Genshin Impact” version 5.5 brings players more diversified characters and gameplay. The addition of the two new characters, Varesha and Ianshan, not only adds more changes to the tactical level of the game, but also provides players with more strategic options. Through reasonable relic matching and skill use, players can maximize their advantages and improve the overall output and survivability of the team.

In future battles, how to skillfully match these new characters and flexibly adjust according to the characteristics of the enemy will become the key to victory in the world of “Genshin Impact”. Whether you are a player who likes burst output or a player who prefers team gain, Varesha and Ianshan can bring you a new combat experience. With the continuous update of the version, the future tactical combinations will be more diverse, leading players on a new adventure.
