Genshin Impact 5.6 leaks hint at two new characters

Escoffier And Ifa According to Utevyat byu/Draconicplayer inGenshin_Impact_Leaks

Escoffier, previously referred to as Akkefi or Effie in earlier leaks, is rumored to be a 5-star character from Fontaine in Genshin Impact 5.6. She was first teased during the version 5.3 livestream, appearing as one of the silhouettes showcased by HoYoverse. Her silhouette, positioned on the extreme right beside Varesa, depicted her wearing a tall hat and holding a knife, suggesting her role as a chef.

Moreover, Escoffier's character design was briefly teased at the 42-second mark during Varesa's Character Trailer. For a second during the trailer, players caught the glimpse of a female blonde character, wearing a chef's hat and weilding a Cryo Vision on the back of her head. Based on the leaks and information available so far, it is safe to assume that this could be Escoffier.

According to leaks, Escoffier may be a Cryo Polearm user and would be featured in the Genshin Impact 5.6 update. She is speculated to play a support character's role, enhancing the damage output of Cryo and Hydro units in the team.

Information from Seele Leaks indicates her Passive Talent could increase the damage dealt by Cryo and Hydro characters in the party, with the buff's value scaling based on the number of such characters present.

Ifa is rumored to be a 4-star character hailing from Natlan and may become playable in the Genshin Impact 5.6 update. Like Escoffier, he was first teased during the 5.3 livestream, and then later introduced during the Genshin Impact 5.5 Special Program, where his design and Vision were briefly showcased.

Leaks suggest he may be an Anemo Bow-user when released as a playable character. This claim holds weight as during the 5.5 livestream, players did get to see his Anemo Vision on his back, when it was teased for a brief moment.

Ifa is a renowned veterinarian from the Flower-Feather Clan in Natlan, specializing in the treatment of Saurians. His design features silver-blue hair, a cowboy-style hat, and an avian Saurian companion named Cacucu.
