Summary
According to recent information from theGenshin Impactbeta, Version 5.5 will award players a free copy of Ororon for participating in its Flagship Event. WhileGenshin Impactencourages players to spend their Primogems on the Event Banner, every other patch awards them a free 4-Star character simply by completing its limited-time activities. Most recently, Candace was awarded to players in Version 5.1, while Version 5.3 allowed them to choose a Liyue 4-Star during the Lantern Rite.
Despite making her debut in Version 5.5, Iansan will not be the free character of Version 5.5, andGenshin Impactplayers will need to summon her the old-fashioned way.Iansan’s ability kit inGenshin Impacttouts her as a promising Support character, capable of buffing the ATK of her party members to a standard not seen since Bennett. While it remains to be seen if Iansan will live up to her potential, the excitement from theGenshin Impactcommunity is palpable.
As explained by Seele Leaks, the free 4-Star for Version 5.5 is going to be Ororon.Ororon inGenshin Impactis considered a strong 4-Star character, capable of outperforming Fischl in his Electro-Charged niche. On top of having exploration abilities that mimic Iktomisaurs, Ororon is a character that becomes insanely valuable with C6 by being able to provide a 30% ATK increase via triggering Hypersense. As such, mostGenshin Impactplayers will likely be happy to receive a free copy of Ororon in Version 5.5.
Genshin Impact: Players Could Be Getting a Free Ororon in Version 5.5
Ororon is best used in the Electro-Charged andHyperbloom teams inGenshin Impact, especially with hypercarries such as Neuvillette, Alhaitham, or Chasca. The latter shared a banner with Ororon in Version 5.2, and as such, it’s unlikely that Ororon will re-run in Version 5.5. Current data reveals that Version 5.5 will feature Xilonen, Xianyun, and Varesa on the Event Banners, with the last spot likely reserved for Venti. A possible place for Ororon would be alongside Ifa, who is set to debut in Version 5.6 or Version 5.7, especially if Chasca has her banner at the same time.
From a popularity standpoint, Ororon has certainly established himself as one of the best characters to come out of Natlan, as many players found his dynamic with Citlali endearing. While he had time to shine in the Archon Quest, not a lot of players would object if HoYoverse added anew Hangout toGenshin Impactfeaturing Ororon. Version 5.5 is set to launch on July 30, 2025.
