Genshin Impact Leaks Reveal Details About Natlan's Pyro Archon

New details about Genshin Impact's upcoming Pyro Archon from Natlan have surfaced thanks to recent leaks. The Seven Archons, powerful gods overseeing Teyvat's regions, each possess a unique element and divine ideals. Following Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, anticipation builds for Natlan's Pyro Archon, expected to appear in the upcoming Natlan storyline and subsequently join the playable roster.

Natlan, confirmed as the next major region in Genshin Impact update 5.0, is known as the Pyro nation. Reliable leaker, Uncle K, has shed light on the Pyro Archon's story and abilities. The leak suggests the Archon's narrative will provoke the ire of Apep, one of Sumeru's legendary Elemental Dragons, hinting at a possible geographical connection between Natlan and Sumeru.

Expected Gameplay and Release

Uncle K's leak indicates the Pyro Archon will possess potent on-field and off-field capabilities, a common trait among Archons. Similar to Raiden Shogun, maximizing the character's Constellations, particularly to level 2, is anticipated to be beneficial. One ability is rumored to enhance the entire team's survivability, while the C6 effect is said to provide a team-wide buff.

While these leaks should be treated cautiously, the Pyro Archon's arrival in the playable roster is likely several months away. HoYoverse's release pattern suggests new Archons typically debut two updates after a new region's introduction (Nahida in 3.2, Furina in 4.2). The Archon's identity remains uncertain, as the main storyline acknowledges at least two Pyro Archons, one named Murata.

The connection between Murata and Mondstadt's Vennessa, a warrior from the "children of Murata" tribe, adds to the mystery. However, the storyline reveals this tribe's history and link to Murata are largely lost to time. Whether Murata represents a past or present Archon remains unclear.
