Genshin Impact 5.5 drip marketing reveals Iansan

HoYoverse has finally drip-marketed the new character for the Genshin Impact 5.5 update. The upcoming version will release Iansan of the Collective of Plenty tribe. She was first revealed in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview and played a significant role in the Natlan Archon Quest.

The official description on Iansan's drip marketing post by Varesa reads:

"Coach Iansan is my idol, the greatest fitness coach in all of Natlan! Everyone tells me I'm naturally talented, but without her guidance, I'd probably have wasted my talents on eating. Don't worry if you're new to exercising, she knows how to tailor her training to her students' needs! Oh, would you look at me yabbering away? How about I give you a flyer — Coach just so happens to be recruiting trainees!"

Varesa reveals that Iansan is her coach and idol. The former also claims that Iansan is the greatest fitness coach in all of Natlan. Without Iansan, she would've wasted her talents on eating. Varesa also mentions that Iansan always tailors her training based on her students' needs and she just so happens to be recruiting more trainees.

It is worth adding that HoYoverse has also already confirmed that Varesa will be released in version 5.5 as an Electro character. Interestingly, Iansan will also be an Electro unit, similar to her fellow tribemate.
