As Genshin Impact prepares to unveil version 5.5, leaks regarding the anticipated 5.6 update are already making waves across various social media platforms. Notable leakers such as UTeyvat and HXG Diluc have begun sharing intriguing hints about potential new playable characters. Among the latest revelations, two characters, Escoffier and Ifa, are generating excitement within the gaming community.
Insights Into Genshin Impact 5.6: New Characters Unveiled
Escoffier And Ifa According to Utevyat by u/Draconicplayer in Genshin_Impact_Leaks
First up is Escoffier, formerly known as Akkefi or Effie in earlier discussions. This 5-star character from Fontaine is expected to make her debut in the Genshin Impact 5.6 update. Her introduction to the community began during the version 5.3 livestream, where she was highlighted as part of a silhouette reveal by HoYoverse. Notably, her figure, positioned alongside Varesa, showcased her distinctive tall hat and a knife, signaling her identity as a chef.
Additionally, Escoffier’s character design was subtly hinted at during Varesa’s Character Trailer, particularly at the 42-second mark, where a blonde character donned a chef’s hat while wielding a Cryo Vision. These hints strongly suggest she could be the anticipated new character.
Current leaks propose that Escoffier may specialize as a Cryo Polearm user and will play a crucial role in the Genshin Impact 5.6 update. It’s anticipated that she will serve as a support character, capable of boosting the damage output of Cryo and Hydro units within a team.
According to insights from Seele Leaks, her Passive Talent might increase the damage potential of Cryo and Hydro characters in the party, scaling based on the number of those characters present during gameplay.

On the other hand, Ifa is rumored to be a 4-star character from Natlan, also expected to appear in the Genshin Impact 5.6 update. Like Escoffier, Ifa was first hinted at during the version 5.3 livestream, and his design was elaborated upon in the Genshin Impact 5.5 Special Program.
It is speculated that Ifa will be an Anemo Bow-user. This speculation is reinforced by a brief glimpse of his Anemo Vision during the 5.5 livestream, which captured players’ attention.
Interestingly, Ifa serves as a veterinarian within the Flower-Feather Clan in Natlan, specializing in Saurian care. His unique design features distinctive silver-blue hair and a cowboy-style hat, complemented by an avian Saurian companion named Cacucu.
