Genshin Impact 5.0 leak shows Geo and Dendro Saurian in Natlan

Prominent leaker, Jokerverse, recently shared gameplay footage featuring the Geo and Dendro Saurian on their Telegram channel. They shared insight into how the Saurians will assist the Travelers in Natlan.

The above footage from the Genshin Impact 5.0 beta test showcases the upcoming Geo character, Kachina, fighting with a Hilichurl. As she engages in combat, her Tepetlisaurus (Geo Saurian) companion spawns beside her and starts tackling the foe, dealing physical damage.

This suggests that Saurians may aid players in combat and attack enemies alongside them as partners. It will be interesting to see how much damage they can deal to monsters and if it would be possible to increase it.

Moreover, It is expected that after getting the Saurians, they will accompany the Travelers everywhere throughout the Natlan region.

Another leaked footage from Jokerverse includes the upcoming Dendro character, Kinich, and the Yumkasaurus (Dendro Saurian). Fans can see Kinich using his Elemental Skill's grappling hook ability to lunge toward the sky to travel distances. Afterward, he transforms into the Dendro Saurian to use its grappling hook ability to do the same.

It appears players can transform into Saurians to use their various exploration abilities when navigating through the Natlan region.

Moreover, it is suspected that the exploration abilities of the three new version 5.0 characters reflect what the Saurians of their respective elements can do.

As discussed, Kinich and the Dendro Saurian share the ability to use grappling hooks to travel distances. Kachina and the Geo Saurian are expected to be capable of climbing vertical surfaces, and Mualani and the Hydro Saurian may have the ability to surf/swim over water and lava.

However, players must wait for the upcoming Genshin Impact version 5.0 livestream on August 16, 2024, to learn more about Saurians in the game.
