New Characters

1) Chasca

➥ Rarity: 5-Star
➥ Vision: Anemo
➥ Weapon: Bow

➥ Elemental Skill: While she's in the Nightsoul's Blessing State, Chasca can ride and control her gun like a Qucusaur. The Soulsniper increases her movement speed and resistance to interruption.

Unleashing a Charged Attack in this state will cause Chasca to enter a special aiming mode. This allows her to lock on to a set number of enemies within range and fire up to six Shadowhunt Shells which deal Anemo DMG upon impact.
In addition, for every Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro character in your party, one of Chasca's Shadowhunt Shells will undergo an Elemental Conversion to deal the corresponding type of Elemental DMG.

➥ Elemental Burst: Chasca fires a Galesplitting Soulseeker Shell during her Burst, which deals Anemo DMG. The attack then splits into six Soulseeker Shells, which continue to attack nearby enemies. These shells can also undergo Elemental Conversions.
➥ Exploration Talent:
➥ Natlan Talent: When Chasca is in your party, defeating monsters will restore phlogiston to your party

2) Ororon

➥ Rarity: 4-Star
➥ Vision: Electro
➥ Weapon: Bow

➥ Normal Attack: While charging an Aimed Shot, Ororon will enter the Spiritspeaker state, allowing him to extract power from Natlan's graffiti and runes.
He doesn't need to depend on the Nightsoul's Blessing state to gain Nightsoul Points and he can maintain the Nightsoul's Blessing state even while he's off-field.

➥ Elemental Skill: How Ororon gains Nightsoul Points:
(1) Ororon can gain Nightsoul Points when one of his party members triggers a Nightsoul Burst
(2) He can also gain them when other party members deal Hydro or Electro attacks to enemies after Ororon unleashes his Elemental Skill

in combat, when enemies take damage from Electro-Charged reactions or other party members deal Nightsoul-aligned damage. Ororon can consume Nightsoul Points to enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and trigger the Hypersense effect, dealing Electro DMG.
Ororon doesn't need to be on the field to trigger the Hypersense effect!

➥ Elemental Burst: His Elemental Burst provides a convenient way to deal damage and support your party. Ororon performs an ancient ritual with his Burst to summon a Supersonic Oculus which taunts nearby enemies to draw them in. Once they're up close, the Oculus releases a sound wave to deal damage.
➥ Exploration Talent: Ororon boosts the gliding speed of your characters.

New Boss & Enemies

1) Tenebrous Papilla

The Abyss has corroded Natlan's Ley Lines, allowing some monsters to read the memories inside of them and mimic creatures from Teyvat. High-level monsters such as the Tenebrous Papilla can mimic even stronger enemies.

Travelers will need to use elemental attacks to break the enemies' protective Void Wards. Doing so allows them to take damage and causes them to enter a brief state of confusion. Nightsoul-aligned elemental attacks are especially effective against these wards.

2) New Saurians

Qucusaurs can consume phlogiston to climb higher or perform a horizontal roll in mid-air.
Holding the Sprint button allows them to enter an accelerated glide state after a horizontal roll.

In addition, they can even use Phlogiston Wind Tunnels to quickly cover great distances!

Iktomisaurs are known for their wisdom. They can use their unique sight to detect things that can't be seen through normal means.

Iktomisaurs are especially skilled at detecting Ley Lines and phlogiston. They can absorb power from phlogiston objects to enhance their abilities. Doing so allows them to jump higher, move faster, or even obtain surprising rewards.

New Quests

1) Tribal Chronicles: Tlalocan

2) Archon Quest Chapter V

The Flower-Feather Clan is also the setting for the Archon Quest Chapter V: Interlude, "All Fires Fuel the Flame". The tribe is facing a crisis, and they'll need the Traveler's help to find a solution.

the Flower-Feather Clan suffered the worst of the Abyssal contamination during the battle in Version 5.1. It's not just the human body that can't withstand high concentrations of Abyssal power.
For most people, it also damages the mind.
Many members of the Flower-Feather Clan are suffering from the mental repercussions of the Abyss and the tribe is in desperate need of aid.

The Captain will also offer help to the tribe. You may pick up on some interesting information if you pay close attention to what he has to say

3) Tribal Chronicles: Mictlan

New Events

1) Iktomi Spiritseeking Scrolls

Travelers will team up with Citlali and Ororon to get to the bottom of a mysterious accident that occurred within their tribe.

First up is the "Search for Lost Spirits" mini-game. Travelers will have to work together to herd the scattered Roaming Spirits into specific zones to earn points. Pay attention to the conditions on the field if you want a higher score!

For example, Travelers can jump on stone slabs that appear on the field. These slabs will break open and release even more spirits. Storms may also appear during the game. You can track down spirits more effectively if you pay attention to the direction of the storms.

In "Evil Banisher," Travelers will need to select the right teams to complete the objectives. Completing all of the objectives will award you the Banishing Aura which allows you to deal AoE DMG by spraying paint at enemies.

Travelers will need to piece these fragments together and assemble them on a woven scroll.

Travelers can obtain a new 4-star sword by completing this event.

2) Adventurer's Trials: Metamorphosis

The Adventurer's Guild has prepared a new trial for its members. Travelers will need to complete various challenges with designated characters and fully leverage their skills.

3) Exercise Surging Storm

In Mondstadt-related news, the Knights of Favonius are conducting a "wargame" to improve security tactics in the region.

Travelers will need to select combat units and stratagems to deploy against the opposing formation. Once the lineup is set, the monsters will fight automatically. Available combat units and stratagems are completely random.
The chances of encountering elite combat units increases as the wargame progresses.

4) Claw Convoy

In "Claw Convoy," Travelers will need to help Lamiya track down some adopted animals. Travelers will be able to see the animals' point of view by using a special tool. Once you've managed to deduce their location, you'll be able to track them down!

5) Limited-Time Area Exploration Rewards

First up: Limited-time exploration rewards will be available in Version 5.2. Just like in Version 5.1, Travelers can earn up to 400 extra Primogems, and the rewards will be available all the way through Version 5.3.

The recommended Set Lock Plans will even update automatically based on popular in-game configurations.
Of course, if you have your own ideas in mind, then you can always disable the recommended plans to configure custom ones instead.

The update also allows you to batch-lock Artifacts in your inventory based on the recommended General Lock Plan and Set Lock Plans.
In addition, a shortcut button that navigates to the Lock Assistance interface will be added to the Artifact Domain challenge screen and the Artifact acquisition screen.

New Area

1) Flower-Feather Clan

This is a tribe of warriors, and most of their people can command the power of the skies.
It was the Flower-Feather Clan's ancient duty to patrol and safeguard the entire region of Natlan.
As elite special forces, their job was to detect threats, disseminate intel, and quickly neutralize any dangers to the nation

2) Master of the Night Wind

3) Ochkanatlan

This is a restricted area in Natlan due to its severe Abyssal contamination, and it seems uninhabited. The Flower-Feather Clan often sends riders to patrol the area and to prevent people from getting too close.

There's a dragon here. It occupies this ancient city and guards it fiercely. If it detects an intruder, then it will attack without hesitation.

This is a very important companion who will help us explore Ochkanatlan. His name is Cocouik!

We can use his power to clear Abyssal contamination. Follow the direction indicated by his light to collect Secret Source Scraps and enhance his power. Once Cocouik has enough power, you can take him to track down the evil dragon!
