Summary
- Update 5.0 in Genshin Impact will introduce Natlan and offer free four-star character Bennett to players.
- Three Natlan characters - Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich - are set to join the roster in the upcoming months.
- Bennett remains a powerful character with an Elemental Burst ability that provides healing and damage buff.
A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed that players will have the option to acquire Bennett, one of the most powerful four-star characters, for free in the upcoming update 5.0. Genshin Impact has confirmed that the next update will introduce the long-awaited Pyro nation, also known as Natlan.
Genshin Impact's official social media accounts have also revealed that three Natlan characters will join the roster in the upcoming months: Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich. Mualani and Kachina are expected to be part of the first banner cycle, while Kinich's release is anticipated in the second part of the update.
Since Genshin Impact's release in September 2020, developer HoYoverse has offered multiple items for free, including four-star characters and weapons. These characters and weapons are usually obtainable by participating in an update-exclusive limited event. Previous leaks have hinted that Kachina, who is rumored to be a four-star character, would be available for free. However, a leaker named Genshin_Intel has clarified that Kachina will probably not be free. Instead, players will be able to get a free copy of Genshin Impact's famous Pyro user Bennett. This information has received mixed reactions in the community.
Genshin Impact: Version 5.0 Free Four-Star Character
- Character: Bennett
- Rarity: Four-star
- Element: Pyro
- Weapon Type: Sword
While some players praise HoYoverse for the decision, especially considering that Bennett is one of the best four-star characters in Genshin Impact, others claim that they maxed out his constellation levels long ago. Bennett has been part of the roster since the beginning, meaning he has been featured on a banner multiple times. Bennett's on-field power can hardly be matched by any other four-star character in Genshin Impact, mainly due to his Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage.
This burst allows Bennett to create a circular on-field effect that provides substantial healing and a powerful damage buff. An important consideration for many players when building Genshin Impact's Bennett is acquiring his last constellation level, as it significantly affects his flexibility.
Bennett's C6 is a great choice only for players who want their team compositions to rely on Pyro damage.
Some fans suggest that upgrading Bennett's last constellation might not be as problematic now since future updates will probably include multiple Pyro characters, given that Nathan is known as the Pyro nation. Regarding Bennett's character story, there is still limited official information about Mondstadt's unluckiest adventurer. Bennett's story arc has revealed that he is an orphan discovered by the Adventurer's Guild in the Mare Jivari temple. Since his release, multiple rumors have suggested that Bennett's ancestors are originally from Genshin Impact's Natlan region.
