Iansan, the newly introduced 4-star character in Genshin Impact 5.5, brings an exciting dynamic to the game as an Electro Polearm user. This character has gained popularity within the community, especially due to her integral role in the Natlan Archon quest. Iansan’s professional background as a fitness coach is cleverly woven into her abilities, further enhancing her appeal. HoYoverse has recently unveiled a comprehensive overview of her skills and mechanics.
This article provides an in-depth look at Iansan’s abilities, along with the materials required for her ascension and talent upgrades, ensuring players can prepare for her effective use in gameplay.
Unpacking Iansan’s Ability Kit
The recent Genshin Impact 5.5 livestream highlighted Iansan’s skills, but additional details released by HoYoverse shed more light on her potential. Functioning primarily as an Electro support character, Iansan excels at enhancing the damage output of on-field DPS characters through various buffs.
Elemental Skill: Nightsoul’s Blessing
Upon activating her Elemental Skill, Iansan enters a state known as Nightsoul’s Blessing, which allows her to move more swiftly. This skill provides an instant dash, dealing Electro damage to any enemies she encounters. When in this state, normal attacks trigger a special buff that enables Iansan to execute a Charged Attack without depleting her stamina. Successfully hitting foes with this Charged Attack not only boosts her attack power but also accelerates the recovery of Nightsoul Points during her Elemental Burst.
Elemental Burst: Kinetic Energy Scale
Iansan’s Elemental Burst summons a unique artifact dubbed the “Limited-Edition Kinetic Energy Scale (For Workouts).”This scale accompanies the active character on the battlefield and offers an attack boost that scales with both Iansan’s attack and her current Nightsoul Points. The mobility of the active character can further amplify this attack enhancement.
