Genshin Impact leaks hint at new Anemo and Electro characters

According to leaks from Full Stop Chan and @hxg_Diluc on X, Genshin Impact is expected to release two new 5-star characters named Kimitsuki Ayano and Varesa.

As mentioned, Kimitsuki Ayano is the new rumored Inazuma character. Based on the name, Ayano is a female character and is expected to be an Anemo unit. However, it should be noted that the name is directly translated from Chinese, so the official English name could be slightly different.

Additionally, the leaker claims that Ayano might be added to the Standard banner, which could make her the first-ever Inazuma 5-star character in the permanent banner.

Meanwhile, Varesa is from Natlan and is speculated to be an Electro unit. While she has yet to make an in-game appearance, she has been mentioned in the game multiple times.

Varesa is from the Collective of Plenty tribe and is a competitive eater who won the 242nd Inferno Stomach Supremo competition by eating 80 servings of Hot Spring O'Clock. It is also worth highlighting that Varesa is a limited character, unlike Ayano.

As Full Stop Chan is a fairly reliable source, the leaks are likely to be credible.
