Summary
Genshin Impactfans have noticed an interesting detail about Natlan’s characters that has left them wondering why one particular character type is missing. Natlan was the last major region introduced inGenshin Impact, back in update 5.0, and since then, the game has added tons of new playable units.
The ongoingGenshin Impactupdate 5.6 introduced two new characters: a five-star chef named Escoffier and a famous veterinarian named Ifa. Unfortunately, players who want to add them to their roster will have to wait a couple of months, as Phase 1 of update 5.6 has already ended.
EveryGenshin Impactregionreleased so far has also introduced an Archon who serves as its fierce protector. Since the release of the Mondstadt region, the game has followed an interesting pattern of featuring one powerful “sidekick” character who works closely with the Archon and shares the same element. These characters are usually known for their leadership and story prominence. The first example of this appeared during the Mondstadt arc, which featured Venti as the Archon and Jean as the Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius. While their methods of pursuing justice may have differed, their end goals were mostly aligned. A new post by a Reddit user named 1-NotReal pointed out that this pattern has been present in every other region, except the recently released Pyro nation.
Genshin Impact Players Want a Specific Pyro Character
The post gained significant traction in the community, reaching over 4k upvotes onGenshin Impact’s main subreddit. Many players claim they’ve been waiting for HoYoverse to officially introduce a new Pyro character tied to the Natlan Archon Mavuika, similar to how Alhaitham’s storyline is connected to Nahida, or how Furina and Neuvillette work together in Fontaine. However, it seems HoYoverse may be breaking this pattern with Natlan, as there are currently no credible rumors suggesting a newGenshin ImpactPyro characteris planned for upcoming updates.
It has been confirmed thatGenshin ImpactVersion 5.7will not include a Pyro character, as HoYoverse has officially revealed two new playable units: the Cryo user Skirk and the Hydro four-star character Dahlia. One minor complaint fans have about the chart provided by 1-NotReal is that they would probably swap out Sara with Yae Miko, as she seems like a better fit for this “helper” role in Inazuma.
Players also suspect it’s highly unlikely that version 5.8, which should be the last update before a new region arrives, will feature a character so central to the Natlan storyline. Some have suggested thatGenshin Impact’s Pyro version of the Travelercould potentially fill this role. A few comments also pointed out that it feels unusual forGenshin Impactto feature only one Pyro character throughout the entire Natlan arc, especially considering that Pyro is the region’s symbolic element.
