Genshin's Inferno: Pyro Archon Secrets Unveiled

A Genshin Impact leak has revealed more details about one of the upcoming characters, Natlan's Pyro Archon. Genshin Impact's Archons, also known as The Seven, are powerful gods who watch over the seven regions in the world of Teyvat. Every Archon in the game has its respective region, symbolic element, and divine ideals.

The last Archon to arrive in the game was Fontaine's Lady Furina, a powerful Hydro character who can fit almost any team composition. As Natlan's release slowly approaches, rumors have been hinting at a new Archon who could appear in Natlan's main storyline and join the main roster soon after.

Natlan has officially been confirmed as the next major region to be released with Genshin Impact update 5.0. Considering that it's also known as the Pyro nation, players can expect the famous Pyro Archon to finally make an official appearance. A credible Genshin Impact leaker known as Uncle K has provided more details about the Pyro Archon's story, as well as their power on the field. According to the leak, their story will "make Apep angry," which has confused many fans. Apep is one of the seven legendary Elemental Dragons who ruled over the Sumeru nation. This leak could suggest that Natlan will be geographically connected to Sumeru.

Uncle K also revealed that the Pyro Archon will have powerful on-field and off-field abilities, which is very common for Archons in Genshin Impact. Similar to Raiden Shogun, players will want to raise the character's Constellations to at least level 2. One of their abilities will improve the survivability of the whole team composition. The leak also revealed that the Pyro Archon's C6 effect will allow them to buff the whole team.

These leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt, considering that Natlan's leader probably won't join the playable roster for at least three to four months. Developer HoYoverse has established a pattern of releasing new Archons two updates after a new major region arrives, with Nahida and Furina being released in 3.2 and 4.2, respectively. The new character's identity is still unclear, as Genshin Impact's main storyline confirmed that there were at least two Pyro Archons, one of whom is named Murata.

At the moment, there is not enough credible information to determine if she was the previous or the current Archon. One of Mondstadt's legendary warriors, Vennessa, belonged to a tribe known as the "children of Murata." However, the main storyline has confirmed that the tribe departed long ago, long enough that they've forgotten their history and ties to Murata.
