Genshin Impact has revealed some mechanics that Natlan characters can use to boost their mobility and combat capabilities. Genshin Impact's Natlan is a brand-new region that hosts a lineup of characters, including Mualani, Kinich, and Kachina. This location, known as the Nation of Dragons, has some recognizable landmarks and a colorful design, like other regions in the game.
Speaking of Natlan, Genshin Impact players will obtain a free copy of a Natlan-based unit, Kachina, in version 5.0. All they have to do is complete the second part of Natlan's Archon quest, which will be available later this month. Kachina will be a viable option for those who need a versatile character that can act as off-field DPS and support. Despite having a four-star rarity, she allegedly deals as much damage as some five-star units.
Before the launch of version 5.0, Genshin Impact revealed some mechanics that only Natlan characters can use to enhance their mobility and combat prowess. One such mechanic is the Nightsoul Blessing state, which allows them to move through the air, climb mountains, and surf on flat water. After entering this special state using their Elemental Skill, Natlan units continuously consume Nightsoul points.
New Mechanics for Natlan Characters
- Nightsoul Blessing: Players can use it to climb mountains, glide through the air, and travel in water.
- Nightsoul Transmission: Players can switch to Natlan characters and use one of their abilities.
- Nightsoul Burst: Players can trigger it to receive various buffs.
When the party features a Natlan character and someone deals elemental damage to an enemy, a Nightsoul Burst will be triggered. When a Nightsoul Burst is triggered, characters gain a buff that increases their combat prowess. For example, Genshin Impact's Mualani receives a stack that lasts for 20 seconds. This stack boosts her elemental burst damage up to 45%.
When a party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Genshin Impact's Kachina receives a 20% damage bonus for 12 seconds. In addition to this combat mechanic, the Natlan region will have Nightsoul Transmission, which allows players to switch to Natlan characters and use their abilities. It will work in certain movement modes (swimming, sprinting, etc.) And in areas where Phlogiston Mechanics are present.
Phlogiston is a kind of thermal energy unique to Genshin Impact's Natlan region. Travelers can use it to extend the duration of the Nightsoul state when they exhaust their Nightsoul points. Triggering the Everflame Seed, touching a Flaming Seed of Phlogiston, collecting Candlecap Mushrooms, destroying Phlogiston Piles, and reaching a Teleport Waypoint or a Statue of the Seven in Natlan fills the character's Phlogiston meter.
Genshin Impact's Natlan region will be released in version 5.0, which is due for release on August 28. The upcoming area will host a number of events, characters, and NPCs that contribute to the story.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
