screenrant.com:

Two new playable characters are coming to in update 5.2, and have already been revealed ahead of the update's release later this month. Typical of the gacha game genre, new characters are the lifeblood of continued interest in . Pulling for the new cast of playable characters is the main draw of each semi-monthly update, and what's kept players coming back for the past four years.

Update 5.2 in particular, expected to be released on November 20,introduces two new characters: the Anemo character Chasca, and the Electro Ororon. Here's everything to know about these two new additions to 's roster.

Chasca is a member of the Flower-Feather Clan, one of the six Natlan tribes, which ties her in closely with that region. Chasca is believed to be a five-star character according to leaks, but may be revealed as a four-star character on release. She's known to be an Anemo character, which means she uses wind elemental spells in and out of battle. Anemo characters aren't the most versatile, as they have only a single Elemental Reaction (Swirl), even though it does work with a variety of other types (Pyro, Electro, Hydro, and Cryo, to be specific).

An important historical figure from Natlan may make a reappearance in Genshin Impact 5.2, according to a leaked character model for the patch.

But Chasca has a special ability that makes her even better on a diverse team: when she uses Spirit Reins, Shadow Hunt, she can summon a revolver, which she can use to fly around and fire Shadowhunt Shells at enemies. These shells change their elements based on the other members of the team: for every Cryo, Pyro, Hyrdo, or Electro character in her party, one of her shells will randomly be converted to one of the corresponding elements, dealing the relevant type of damage.

The longer Spirit Reins, Shadow Hunt is charged, the more bullets Chasca will load into her revolver. The maximum number is six.

Chasca wields a bow, which makes her primarily a long-range fighter, able to aim her shots
