The Genshin Impact 5.4 update is currently ongoing, with the new character Yumemizuki Mizuki finally being released in the game. Meanwhile, leaks for the next patch have already started surfacing. According to speculations by the playerbase, the upcoming characters to be released in Genshin Impact are Varesa and Iansan. While the latter has already been introduced in the game, Varesa has only been name-dropped (by in-game characters as well as the developers) so far.
Recent leaks sourced from the Genshin Impact 5.5 closed beta also seem to back up these speculations, as leakers have disclosed the kits of both Varesa and Iansan. This article provides information about the latter's possible kit, as hinted at via leaks.

Iansan's kit and Constellations in Genshin Impact, as per leaks
Trending
Prominent Genshin leakers Narc1ssus and Seele Leaks have disclosed information that hints at Iansan's kit. Previously, leakers had suggested that she could be a 4-star character, and her new kit leaks seem to corroborate these claims.
Elemental Skill
When Iansan uses her Elemental Skill, she supposedly dashes forward and deals Electro DMG to opponents in her path. After her dash is complete, using a Normal Attack lets her perform a "Thunderous Dive" that doesn't consume any stamina.
She also reportedly enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state after using her Elemental Skill. In this state, her normal sprint is switched to a "Lightning Rush" sprint, wherein her jumping ability and movement speed are enhanced for a short duration. While using Lightning Rush, she can sprint over Liquid Phlogiston or water.

Elemental Burst
After Iansan uses her Elemental Burst, she reportedly stomps the ground and deals AoE Electro DMG while also summoning a special "Kinetic Marker". Moreover, she enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state following her Burst, and her Kinetic Marker lasts for the duration of this state.
Her Kinetic Marker follows the active character around and increases their overall ATK based on the total amount of Nightsoul Points she currently has. If the number is more than 42, the ATK increase depends on both her Nightsoul Points and her own overall attack. If she has less than 42, the ATK boost is based only on her overall attack.
Furthermore, while the Kinetic Marker is present on the field, the distance covered by the active character is recorded, and Iansan restores Nightsoul Points based on the same. When the active character is not in combat, the Kinetic Marker disappears after one second.
Constellations
These are Iansan's supposed Constellations, according to the leaks:
- C1: When she is in combat and in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, she restores 15 Energy for every six Nightsoul Points consumed. This effect can be triggered once every 18 seconds.
- C2: After using her Elemental Burst, she gains the "Standard Action" status from her A1 passive, which increases her ATK by 20%. If she is off-field when this status is activated, then the active character's ATK is increased by 30%.
- C3: Increases the level of her Elemental Skill by 3.
- C4: While her Kinetic Marker is present on the field, Iansan gains two stacks of "Force Surge" whenever any character uses their Elemental Burst. Each stack of Force Surge restores an additional 4 Nightsoul Points for her. If the maximum limit for Nightsoul Points restoration is reached, then 50% of the excess Nightsoul Points is saved for the next instance of Force Surge.
- C5: Increases the level of her Elemental Burst by 3.
- C6: Increases the duration of her Kinetic Marker by three seconds. Additionally, whenever her Nightsoul Points exceed the total amount that can be restored, the "Extreme Effort" effect is activated. This effect increases the active character's damage by 25% for three seconds.
Passives
A1 Passive
Iansan's first ascension Passive grants her the "Standard Action" effect whenever her "Thunderous Dive" attack hits an opponent. When this happens, her ATK is increased by 20%, and she also recovers an additional Nightsoul Point while using the "Kinetic Marker". Furthermore, when the active character (except for her) uses or restores Nightsoul Points, she restores an extra 4 Nightsoul Points for herself whenever she uses "Kinetic Marker". This effect can be triggered once every 2.8 seconds. The "Standard Action" effect lasts for as long as she remains in the Nightsoul's Blessing state.
A2 Passive
When other party members use their Elemental Bursts, Iansan gains the "Warm Up" effect, which lasts for the next 10 seconds. While this effect is active, she heals the active character for 60% of her attack, provided she restores at least one Nightsoul Point for herself. This effect can be triggered every 2.8 seconds.
A3 Passive
When Iansan's Nightsoul Points are depleted, she consumes Phlogiston to maintain the Nightsoul's Blessing state. While in the region of Natlan, switching to her while the active character is running or airborne activates her Nightsoul's Blessing state and restores 25 Nightsoul Points to her. This effect can be triggered once every 10 seconds.
A4 Passive
While in Natlan, when Iansan's Phlogiston level decreases to below 50%, she restores 10 Nightsoul Points for herself. This effect can be triggered once every 10 seconds.
Role in the team
According to the leaks, Iansan can play the role of a buffer by boosting the main DPS' overall attack and damage. Additionally, her A2 Passive lets her heal the active character for 60% of her own attack, meaning that she can also function as the team healer. From the current leaks, it seems like she might be able to perfectly fulfill the role of a support, as she can also equip the 4-piece Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City artifact set.
