Recent information circulating within the Genshin Impact community suggests that Version 5.5 may bring forth a new set of Artifact Sets in Natlan, marking a significant return after a four-update pause. Genshin Impact typically adheres to a well-defined schedule for its content updates, but Natlan seems to have deviated from this pattern. This deviation has sparked discussions among players, as they eagerly anticipate what the new version will entail.
The conclusion drawn is that the latter part of Natlan is anticipated to be rich in content, contrasting with the updates that have occurred between Version 5.1 and Version 5.5, which many in the Genshin Impact community have labeled as lacking in substance. Although the Archon Quest matched the length of those in Fontaine and Sumeru, and Ochkanatlan garnered positive feedback from players, Natlan will only feature two regions and a single Artifact Domain, a situation that will persist for seven months following its release.
Based on insights shared by hxg_diluc through DK2, it appears that Version 5.5 is poised to be the update that will unveil the second Artifact Domain for Natlan. Several indicators suggest this development is on the horizon. In Version 5.2, players were introduced to the Flower-Feather Clan and the enigmatic Masters of the Night-Wind, yet the Collective of Plenty has yet to make its debut. This absence hints at the potential for new content that could be integrated into the game.
Genshin Impact Could Be Adding New Artifact Sets in Version 5.5
Natlan’s current support for the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, along with the preference of its hypercarries for the Obsidian Codex, indicates that any new Artifact Sets introduced will need to carve out a completely different niche. Although the recent leak does not specify the precise bonuses associated with these new Artifact Sets, it is crucial to keep in mind that they are typically designed to complement the abilities of forthcoming characters in Genshin Impact. This synergy is a key aspect of how these artifacts enhance gameplay and character performance.
If we consider that both Iansan and Varesa are Electro characters within the world of Genshin Impact, it’s plausible that one of the new artifact sets could be tailored specifically for the Overload or Superconduct playstyle, although the latter seems quite unlikely. With Overload gaining popularity in the game, introducing a dedicated Artifact Set could enhance team synergy significantly, especially when paired with characters like Chevreuse. This would not only elevate the effectiveness of Overload reactions but also encourage players to explore new strategies and team compositions.
