Genshin Impact is a game with great depth and connotation. It is not just a simple role-playing game, but also a world full of philosophy and speculation. Every version update will bring new changes, and the arrival of version 5.5 has undoubtedly refreshed the expectations of players again. In this update, the addition of two new characters, Varesha and Ianshan, has brought new vitality to Genshin Impact. They are not only combat tools in the hands of players, but also represent two completely different attitudes and choices in life.
Varesha: From gluttony to violence, loneliness and strength in struggle
Varesha, a five-star magic weapon character with thunder attribute, may give people an innocent impression on the outside, but her unknown heart is full of layers of complexity. Her performance in the big eater competition made her a remarkable existence. The number of 80 servings of food not only made her the focus of everyone’s attention, but also revealed her extreme inner world. In addition to bringing her a unique sense of humor and a “tough” image, the setting of gluttony also implies that she may be seeking some kind of emotional balance in an extreme way.
Behind the setting of Varesha’s “big eater” is her reaction to her inner loneliness. Gluttony may be her counterattack against some dissatisfaction in life and a manifestation of her struggle with the world. She fills the emptiness with food and uses strong impulses to deal with the loneliness that cannot be eliminated. This setting coincides with her fighting style: Varesha releases endless energy through powerful falling attacks and the “fiery passion” state. Every attack of hers seems to be an outburst of emotions that have been suppressed for a long time in her heart. She does not fight through wisdom or strategy, but uses the most direct and fiercest way to fight the enemy, and even to fight against her inner anxiety and loneliness.
Her skill mechanism is mainly based on violent aesthetics. While emphasizing high damage, it also conveys a fearless spirit. Varesha is not waiting for opportunities, but actively creating opportunities to kill the enemy with one blow. This attack method is like a microcosm of her attitude towards life: she does not tolerate any obstacles, and the only choice is to break everything and face the challenge. Her “Night Soul Points” mechanism and the improvement of “Fiery Passion” not only make her powerful in battle, but also show her emotional release. She is constantly challenging the outside world in her own way and seeking recognition.
Ianshan: The embodiment of rationality and calmness, a wise man in battle
Compared with Varesa’s violence and impulse, Ianshan shows a completely different fighting style. As a four-star thunder attribute long-handled weapon character, Ianshan’s core feature is not only reflected in the attack power, but her precise control of the battlefield. Her “kinetic energy scale” is an indispensable tool in her battle. It can dynamically adjust the skill effect according to the action trajectory of teammates and their own Night Soul points to improve the output ability of teammates. This design, just like her personality, focuses on the overall interests of the team and obtains the best combat effect in a calm and rational way.
In Ianshan’s skill mechanism, what is emphasized is not one’s own strength, but the cooperation of the entire team. She is not only a participant in the battle, but also a commander behind the scenes, providing continuous gains for the entire team through the “kinetic energy scale”. Her calmness and precision make her like a wise man in the battle, always using reason to measure the situation and calculate the optimal solution. This precise control of the situation shows her inner calmness and restraint. She is not in a hurry to act, but relies on thinking and analysis to find the most effective battle path.
This rationality and calmness are exactly the lifestyle she advocates: not being affected by emotions, not letting impulse dominate actions. Every time she releases a skill, it is the result of careful consideration, just like her life, always pursuing balance and optimal solutions. She does not have the explosive power and impulse of Varesha, but uses reason and wisdom as support to lead teammates to victory. Ianshan’s existence seems to remind us: rationality is the key to solving problems, and calmness is the strongest weapon when facing difficulties.
The collision of the two: philosophy in battle
Varesha and Ianshan, these two characters not only represent two completely different fighting styles, but also two completely different philosophies of life. Varesa’s violence and impulsiveness may achieve significant victory in the short term, but it is also easy to fall into the whirlpool of emotions and be unable to extricate herself. Her battle is straightforward, a release of emotions, and a violent reaction to loneliness and anxiety. Ianshan’s rationality and calmness show us another way to deal with difficulties: through wisdom and calculation, calm analysis, and finally find the most appropriate solution.
These two completely different fighting styles are just like two choices in life. In reality, we often face various choices: choose Varesa’s impulse and outburst, or choose Ianshan’s calmness and rationality? Everyone may hesitate and choose between the two in their life journey. In any case, each choice has its own value and meaning.
New Relics and Strategic Choices
The 5.5 version update not only has these two new characters, but also brings new relic sets: Long Night’s Oath and Deep Corridor Finale. For Varesa, the Long Night’s Oath set is undoubtedly her best choice. It can strengthen her falling attack and enable her to deal more damage in a short period of time. Ianshan is more suitable for the Deep Corridor Finale Set, which can provide a huge attack power bonus when the elemental energy is zero, helping her to deal decisive damage at critical moments.
These two sets of holy relics not only improve the combat power of the characters, but also allow players to adjust their strategies and lineups according to different combat needs. They are closely related to the skill matching of the new characters, allowing players to more freely choose the combat method that suits them.
Conclusion: A story of choice and growth
Varesa and Ianshan in the 5.5 version of “Genshin Impact” are not only partners in battle, but also reflections of players when facing life choices. They each represent the two seemingly opposing but coexisting forces of violence and rationality, impulse and calmness. Every player can find his own image in them. Perhaps it is through the collision of these virtual characters that we can understand ourselves more clearly in the real world and choose the path that suits us best.
Whether it is the fearless impulsiveness of Varesha or the calm rationality of Ianshan, Genshin Impact tells us through these character designs: every choice has its meaning, and every attitude has its own unique brilliance. And we will eventually find our own way and face the world bravely and firmly.
