New details about Genshin Impact's upcoming Pyro Archon, hailing from the Natlan region, have emerged from recent leaks. The Archons, also known as the Seven, are powerful deities overseeing Teyvat's seven regions, each possessing a unique element and divine philosophy. Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, recently joined the game, showcasing powerful abilities adaptable to various team compositions. With Natlan's imminent arrival in Genshin Impact update 5.0, anticipation builds for the Pyro Archon's debut.
Reliable leaker, Uncle K, has offered insights into the Pyro Archon's narrative and in-game capabilities. The leaked storyline hints at actions that will "infuriate Apep," one of Sumeru's seven legendary Elemental Dragons, suggesting a potential geographical link between Natlan and Sumeru.
Pyro Archon Abilities and Release Predictions
Uncle K's leaks indicate the Pyro Archon will boast potent on-field and off-field abilities, a hallmark of Genshin Impact Archons. Similar to Raiden Shogun, maximizing their potential may require Constellation levels reaching at least level 2. One ability is expected to enhance overall team survivability, while their C6 effect will provide team-wide buffs.
While these leaks remain unconfirmed, the Pyro Archon's playable release is likely several months away, potentially three to four. HoYoverse's established pattern of releasing new Archons two updates after a new region's launch (as seen with Nahida and Furina) suggests a release timeframe several updates after Natlan's introduction.
The Pyro Archon's identity remains shrouded in mystery. The main storyline acknowledges at least two Pyro Archons, one named Murata. The connection to Vennessa, a legendary Mondstadt warrior from the "children of Murata" tribe, adds a layer of intrigue. However, the tribe's ancient departure and forgotten history obscure the true identity of Murata as either a past or present Archon. Further credible information is needed to clarify this ambiguity.
