New Region: Natlan
The Teleport Waypoint to Natlan will be unlocked for beginners and intermediates who finish the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. Natlan, the Nation of Pyro, is west of Sumeru. This nation has six tribes. After many generations, Natlan's Saurian dragons have learned to live with humans and become their loyal companions. Version 5.0 lets players tour three of the six tribes and meet three Saurians who live with them.
Players can indwell Saurians to become one and explore the towering cliffs and gushing springs. The Children of Echoes who live in canyons prefer the Saurian Tepetlisaurus, who can tunnel underground and scale cliffs. Yumkasaurus can easily climb enormous heights and drag themselves in the preferred direction. They live among the Scions of the Canopy, a tribe dangling from precipitous cliffs. Koholasaurus can move swiftly on water and liquid Phlogiston. Hence, they're often found with the Springs People near the sea.
A tournament determines the tribe champions at the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, where Natlan, the Nation of War, honors her warriors. The major story takes place while the players, Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani, travel to the Stadium. Natlan's Archon Quest requires Adventure Rank (AR) 28 and completion of Liyue's Archon Quests.
New Characters: Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani
Natlan warriors have honed their skills and agility, reflecting their tribe's lifestyle and traditions. Here are the three new playable characters joining the roster.
Kachina
- Description: A four-star Geo polearm wielder from Children of Echoes.
- Turbo Twirly: She can summon Turbo Twirly and ride it to climb walls and cliffs in daily exploration, and also unleash ground-slam attacks to deal with AoE Geo DMG in combat.
- Free to get in Archon Quest: By completing Act I of Natlan Archon Quest, you can recruit Kachina into your team for free.
Kinich
- Description: A five-star Dendro claymore wielder from Scions of the Canopy. He is a well-known hunter with a special Saurian company, Ajaw.
- Grappling Hook: With his Elemental Skill, Kinich can use a grappling hook to reach higher places and swing forward consecutively by latching onto Coilgrass Sigils during exploration.
- Loop Shoot: When Kinich uses his Elemental Skill near enemies, he links to the target and starts firing continuous shots. While in this state, he gradually gathers Nightsoul Points. Once he reaches the maximum, he can unleash a powerful shot that deals significant Dendro DMG.
- Stand with Dragonlord: Upon Kinich's Elemental Burst, Ajaw will unleash dragon breaths to inflict AoE Dendro DMG.
Mualani
- Description: A five-star Hydro catalyst wielder from People of the Springs. This shiny and hot-hearted girl is a watersports store owner and a fan of multiple water sports, such as swimming, surfing, and beach volleyball. Mualani primarily inflicts Hydro DMG with on-field movement to stack layers.
- Surf to Explore: Her Elemental Skill makes her mount on her Sharky Surfboard to move on land, water, and liquid Phlogiston with a greater speed. In addition, Mualani can surf onto the Spiritways, a flowing Phlogiston track that she can take for a fast trip.
- Surf, Mark, and Bite: Her Elemental Skill also converts her Normal Attacks into Sharky's Bite of potent Hydro damage. By making contact with enemies, Mualani can mark her enemies and gain stacks. Max three stacks, she can unleash a reinforced bite with significant damage.
Kachina, Mualani, and Kinich can find regional specialties, but their abilities to recover Stamina, amass Phlogiston, or improve movement speed can benefit all party members by interacting with specific harvestable items. Players must wisely use Phlogiston in various forms to fully unleash the powers and skills of Pyro fighters and Saurians. The Nightsoul's Blessing allows Natlan's warriors to stand out in battle through Phlogiston Engravings.
