A recent Genshin Impact leak has revealed the full character model of Ifa, an upcoming Anemo user from Natlan. Ifa is expected to arrive in the next few months, likely in Version 5.6.
Who is Ifa?
Ifa is a tall male character with a unique blend of cowboy and alchemist aesthetics. His turquoise-orange outfit, stylish hat, and long coat make him stand out among other Natlan characters. He carries his Anemo Vision on his back, confirming his elemental affinity.
Ifa’s Role in Natlan
Ifa is a popular veterinarian in Natlan, known for taking care of Saurians, the small dragons unique to the region. Despite his quiet introduction in Natlan’s storyline, he is well-regarded by the locals and is friends with Ororon, another important character.
According to Mualani, a Hydro character in Natlan, Ifa is an efficient and active individual who enjoys participating in various activities. One interesting detail in his design is a scar on his left hand, which has led to fan speculation about a possible connection to a Saurian attack.
Ifa’s Release Date and Expectations
While there is no official confirmation yet, Ifa will likely be part of Genshin Impact’s Version 5.6, expected to launch around May 7, 2025. His kit and abilities should be revealed during the 5.6 beta phase, giving players a closer look at his gameplay.
Many fans hope that Ifa will be a five-star character, given his detailed design and importance in Natlan’s lore. If this is true, he could be one of the last major Natlan characters introduced before the storyline shifts to Snezhnaya.
Upcoming Content in Version 5.5 and Beyond
Before Ifa’s expected debut, Genshin Impact Version 5.5 will feature two well-known members of the Collective of Plenty, Varesa and her teacher Iansan. This aligns with HoYoverse’s consistent pattern of introducing at least one new five-star character per update.
As Natlan’s arc nears its grand conclusion, players have started speculating about future regions. Many believe that Version 5.6 could introduce a teaser trailer for Nod-Krai, the southernmost part of Snezhnaya, which would mark the next major chapter in Genshin Impact’s world expansion.
Final Thoughts
Ifa’s Anemo abilities, veterinarian background, and cowboy-alchemist aesthetic have already generated excitement among Genshin Impact fans. With Version 5.6 approaching, players eagerly await more details about his abilities, story connections, and whether he will be a five-star addition to the roster.
Stay tuned for more Genshin Impact updates, leaks, and official reveals as we approach the 5.6 beta phase!
