Genshin Impact 5.0 leaks claim new character level 100 in Natlan

Posts from the genshin_impact_leaks community on Reddit

The latest leaks from Foul have surfaced in the Genshin Impact community which unveil a potential change in character progression. According to the rumors, the upcoming 5.0 update will unlock ascension level 100 for all characters joining the roster.

Many in the community have pointed out that character level 100 stats were only in the game files to begin with. With the ability to reach level 100, your characters will have increased ascension stats, base HP, and base ATK, all of which will improve their overall damage/ support potential.

Considering this is true, this will bring a major change to Genshin Impact's future meta. As shown in the image above, you can see how increasing the level cap will directly buff transformative reactions such as Hyperbloom, Overloaded, and more.

Speculations about other features with increasing character levels

As mentioned previously, the max level for character ascension has stayed at level 90 since the game's release in 2020. Normally, you need 418 Hero's Wits, 2 Million Mora, and tons of other materials to reach maximum ascension.

Adding the 10 new levels would only mean players would have to spend more time, original resin, and resources. Just because the leaks only unveil about the increase in level cap, doesn't mean the developers will stop at that.

Many in the community speculate that the boss drop rates and ascension rewards might improve. This will save players a lot of time and increase resin efficiency. Many also believe this would bring changes to new and existing bosses and enemies, enhancing the combat experience for players.
