Genshin Impact: Iansan’s Journey from Teaser to Playable Character
Remember way back in 2020 when we first caught a glimpse of a fiery little girl in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview? That was Iansan, and folks, the wait is finally over! HoYoverse has officially confirmed through their drip marketing (which, let’s be honest, always gets us more hyped than a Hilichurl at a treasure hoard) that Iansan will be joining the playable roster in the 5.5 update.
Who exactly is Iansan?
- She’s one of the six heroes of Natlan (no pressure, kid)
- Belongs to the Collective of Plenty tribe (sounds like a fun bunch!)
- Wields the Electro element (because why not add more chaos to the mix?)
- Rumored to be a 4-star Polearm user (time to dust off that spare Dragon’s Bane!)
When Can You Wish for Iansan?
Now, for the million Mora question: When exactly can we start throwing our hard-earned Primogems at Iansan’s banner? Well, we’ve got two potential scenarios, so let’s break it down:
Scenario 1: Iansan Drops in Phase 1 (The Early Bird Special)
If Iansan decides to kick off the party early, she’ll be available as soon as the 5.5 update goes live. Set your alarms for:
March 26, 2025, at 11 am (UTC +8)
That’s right, as soon as the servers are up, you could be pulling for our new Electro dynamo!
Scenario 2: Iansan Fashionably Late in Phase 2
If Iansan prefers to make us wait a little longer (playing hard to get, are we?), here’s when you can expect her across different servers:
- Asia Server: April 15, 2025, at 6 pm (UTC +8)
- Europe Server: April 15, 2025, at 6 pm (UTC +1)
- America Server: April 15, 2025, at 6 pm (UTC -5)
Pro tip: Start saving those Primogems now. Maybe skip that tempting weapon banner, hmm?
Why Iansan Has Us More Excited Than Paimon at a Feast
Let’s be real, we’ve been waiting for Iansan longer than it takes to farm decent artifacts (and that’s saying something). But why are we so hyped? Here’s why Iansan might just be worth the wait:
- Unique Backstory: As one of Natlan’s heroes, Iansan’s bound to have some juicy lore. Time to put on our detective hats and piece together Natlan’s mysteries!
- Electro Synergy: Another Electro character means more team comp possibilities. Overloaded reactions, anyone?
- Polearm Prowess: If the rumors are true, Iansan’s polearm skills could make her a formidable DPS or support. Versatility is the name of the game!
- Adorable Design: Let’s face it, Genshin Impact knows how to design characters that make us go “Aww!” and “Wow!” simultaneously.
- Potential Story Quests: New character means new story quests. Time to explore more of Teyvat’s rich lore!
Preparing for Iansan’s Arrival: Your Pre-Release Checklist
While we count down the days (or hours, for the truly obsessed), here’s how you can prepare for Iansan’s release:
- Farm those Electro gems and local specialties (better safe than sorry!)
- Save your Fragile Resin for artifact farming (because perfect substats don’t grow on trees)
- Stock up on Exp books and Mora (leveling ain’t cheap, folks)
- Pre-farm talent books and weapon ascension materials (trust us, Future You will thank Present You)
- Most importantly, start saving those Primogems and Intertwined Fates!
Whether Iansan arrives in Phase 1 or Phase 2, one thing’s for sure – Genshin Impact’s 5.5 update is shaping up to be more exciting than finding a chest in Dragonspine without freezing to death. So, Travelers, are you ready to welcome Iansan to your team? May the gacha gods be ever in your favor!

FAQs
Q: Will Iansan be available in the standard banner after her release?
A: As a 4-star character, Iansan will likely be added to the standard banner after her initial rate-up banner ends. However, this usually happens in the update following her release. So, if you really want Iansan, your best bet is to wish on her featured banner when it first drops!
Q: How does Iansan fit into the current meta, and is she worth pulling for?
A: While we don’t have detailed information about Iansan’s abilities yet, as a 4-star Electro Polearm user, she could potentially fill various roles in team compositions. Her worth will depend on her specific kit and how she synergizes with existing characters. For meta players, it’s always wise to wait for theorycrafters to analyze her strengths before deciding. For waifu/husbando collectors or Natlan enthusiasts, remember – the heart wants what it wants!
