Genshin Impact Leaks Reveal Details About Natlan's Pyro Archon
New details about Natlan's Pyro Archon, one of Genshin Impact's upcoming characters, have surfaced thanks to recent leaks. The Archons, also known as The Seven, are powerful gods overseeing Teyvat's seven regions. Each Archon embodies a specific region, element, and divine ideal. Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, was the most recent addition to the playable roster.
With Natlan's release on the horizon (confirmed for Genshin Impact update 5.0), anticipation is building for the Pyro Archon's debut. Reliable leaker, Uncle K, has shed light on the Archon's story and abilities. The leak suggests the Archon's narrative will "anger Apep," one of Sumeru's legendary Elemental Dragons, hinting at a possible geographical connection between Natlan and Sumeru.
Expected Abilities and Release Window
Uncle K's leak also describes the Pyro Archon possessing potent on-field and off-field capabilities, a common trait among Archons. Similar to Raiden Shogun, maximizing the character's potential will likely require Constellation levels of at least 2. One ability is rumored to enhance the entire team's survivability, and the C6 effect is expected to provide a team-wide buff.
While exciting, these leaks should be treated with caution. The Pyro Archon's arrival as a playable character is likely several months away – three to four, to be precise. HoYoverse’s pattern of releasing Archons two updates after a new region's introduction (Nahida in 3.2, Furina in 4.2) suggests a similar timeframe.
Uncertain Identity
Adding to the mystery, Genshin Impact's storyline reveals the existence of at least two Pyro Archons, one named Murata. Whether Murata is the past or present Archon remains unclear. The connection to Mondstadt's legendary warrior, Vennessa, and the "children of Murata" tribe adds another layer of intrigue, although the tribe's history with Murata is largely lost to time.
