New character: Ineffa

Rarity：⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐｜Element：Electro｜ Weapon:  Polearm

Ineffa is described as a support who enhances or modifies the Electro-Charged reaction, similar to how Nilou interacts with Bloom. More importantly, this unit focuses on triggering Electro-Charged reactions in a unique way — delivering all damage at once or even enabling critical hits.

Ineffa is from Nod-Krai, the next major region coming in Version 6.0. Introducing her in 5.8 — the final patch before that update. 

Unlike Nilou, Ineffa allegedly won’t limit your team to only Hydro and Electro members. This flexibility opens up more team comps, and she may work well with units like Tartaglia, Clorinde, Ororon, or Ifa, who already benefit from Electro-Charged setups.

SO, it's time to stockpile Primogems and start your pulling spree!!

Rerun Characters

Phase 1: Citlali

 

Rarity：⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐｜Element：Electro｜ Weapon:  Polearm

Citlali is a playable Cryo character who is set to shine alongside Mavuika. This unique character is not only an EM-scaling shielder but also possesses the ability to reduce the Pyro and Hydro RES of adversaries.

For those eager to optimize Citlali's potential and create the most formidable build, our comprehensive Citlali build guide is a must-read.

 

Phase 2: Mualani

Rarity：⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐｜Element：Hydro｜ Weapon:  Catalyst

Mualani functions as a HP-scaling main DPS in Genshin. She utilizes her waveboard, deployed via her Elemental Skill, to mark opponents. And she capitalizes on the final enhanced Normal Attack in her rotation to inflict damage on enemies, with a specialization in the Vaporize Elemental Reaction. 

 

Phase 2: Chasca

Rarity：⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐｜Element：Anemo｜ Weapon:  Bow

Chasca best functions as an Elemental DPS! The most infamous Peacemaker of the Flower-Feather Clan and no stranger to the Night Warden Wars, Chasca bears the Ancient Name of VK . She is familiar with conflicts — at times struggling with many of her own internal ones — yet despite how many would view her, she is always able to stand above them.

NEW Outfits

Our beloved super-popular characters — Yelan and Bennett — are about to receive brand-new outfits! 

Bennett:

This 4-star Pyro character, wielding a one-handed sword, is the "true six-star god of war" whose strength has long transcended the limits of his star rating! No matter how the versions change, he always remains the "T0 level core support," the versatile utility player and the stabilizing force in top-tier teams! His new outfit is undoubtedly the best tribute to this "luckiest E key"!

Yelan:

As the absolute benchmark for Hydro sub-DPS in the background, Yelan has become the core engine of many powerful team compositions with her top-notch water application ability and terrifying damage output! Her new outfit will surely make this elegant and powerful ranger even more dazzling!

 

NEW Map!

The Mare Jivari is a location in the westernmost area of Natlan. It is an empty place,described as a "sea of ashes where the wind does not blow,"and it contains a sea of fire. It vanished off the face of Teyvat twenty to thirty years prior to the game's events.

New regions mean even more Primogems! Get hyped, everyone!

 

Conclusion

Version 5.8 is the final 5.X update before the arrival of Version 6.X, a patch that will kick off a brand-new year of content for players, steering away from Natlan and moving into Nod-Krai. Behold, Ineffa—this new character is the pivotal link bridging Version 5.8 to 6.0! 🌟
