In any new version of Genshin Impact that will introduce new characters, these new characters will undoubtedly become the focus of your attention! Although other update content is also important, on the one hand, character design is one characteristic of Genshin Impact, and on the other hand, the attractiveness of the new characters to you determines whether you are willing to invest in Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals.
The latest unreleased version of Genshin Impact is version 5.6, which will meet you on May 7. According to known information, this update will bring two new characters, Escoffier and Ifa. Based on this, we will introduce these two characters to you, and what else they will bring with their banners.
5.6 Character Banners
The banners of this version are divided into two stages as before. The first stage will bring new characters Escoffier and Ifa, as well as Navia’s rerun banner, and the second stage will focus on Kinich and Raiden Shogun’s rerun.
It is worth noting that 5.6 is expected to open Chronicled Wish banner as a special event, through which you have the opportunity to obtain multiple old characters, including Inazuma, Ayaka, Ayato, Yoimiya, and their respective iconic weapons.
New Characters Escoffier And Ifa
The first thing to introduce to you is the five-star Cryo character Escoffier, who can play both auxiliary and output roles in battle with her characteristic long-handled weapon. When Escoffier hits an enemy with any skill, it can reduce the enemy’s resistance to Hydro and Cryo damage. The specific value depends on the number of Hydro and Cryo characters in your team.
In addition, Escoffier can summon a Cooking Mek through her elemental skills. This summon can make Escoffier a Cryo output character by firing bullets that can cause Cryo damage. If you hold down Escoffier’s elemental skills, she will also summon a different version of Cooking Mek.
As for Ifa, he is a 4-star Anemo character from Natlan who can use elemental bursts to launch special attacks of enemies in battle, causing Anemo damage in range. If the enemy is also affected by Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro, Ifa’s attacks will also cause Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro-related range damage.
It is worth noting that, after using elemental skills, Ifa will enter Nightsoul’s Blessing state and fly with the help of Cacucu. At this time, Ifa can not only cause Anemo damage to the enemy, but also restore health for teammates. And in Nightsoul’s Blessing state, Ifa will also increase the team’s swirl and electro-charged damage according to the total amount of Nightsoul points your team has.
In short, these two new characters have their own strengths. If you have enough Genesis Crystals in stock, they will be a good choice through the banner draw after the release of version 5.6. Good luck!
