Summary
- Chasca in Genshin Impact may be a 5-star Anemo main DPS with flying abilities.
- Her flight mechanics could surpass Wanderer's, potentially affecting combat even more than his.
- Chasca's rumored release in Genshin Impact 5.1 may introduce new exploration and combat dynamics.
Players may feel compelled to pull for Chasca in Genshin Impact once she is released, according to fresh leaks about the character. Chasca has already been presented as one of the Traveler’s new companions within Natlan but was essentially confirmed as a future playable character as she appeared in the teaser trailer showcasing Natlan’s units. While she will not make her debut as a playable character in Genshin Impact 5.0, Chasca is confirmed to appear as an NPC in the first Natlan update. Nevertheless, there are leaks about her release in the future, and now new leaks mention Chasca’s abilities.
What is officially known about Chasca so far is mostly related to her design. Chasca is a tall woman from Natlan who has pointed elf-like ears. She wears a tricorn-shaped hat and has long wine-red hair and blue eyes. She also wears a cropped shirt and shorts, with long boots. Chasca is confirmed to be in possession of an Anemo Vision, as seen in multiple trailers about Natlan so far, including the one that revealed multiple details about Genshin Impact 5.0. Now, leaks have detailed more about her rarity and possible gameplay mechanics.

The Leaks Indicate The Character Will Be A 5-Star Main DPS
According to new information provided by the leaker known as White, which was shared in a post tagged as “Questionable” on Reddit, Chasca will be a 5-star Anemo main DPS in team comps. The most intriguing part of the leak, however, is the mention that Chasca can fly. While vague, the information gives players more ideas as to what they can expect from Chasca’s release. This also shows developer HoYoverse’s investment in continuing the trend of augmented exploration mechanics with Natlan characters, such as Mualani’s surfboard ride or Kinich’s grapple hook in Genshin Impact.
Chasca’s Flight May Be Superior To Wanderer’s In Genshin Impact
The Character’s Rumored Flight Abilities Will Likely Be Applied To Combat
The way Chasca will allegedly fly is still unknown. For now, there are only a few playable units that have flight-like capabilities. The first and most well-known is Wanderer, who can enter a flying stance and glide around and upward for a few seconds before his special stamina bar ends. The other is Xinyan, who can take steps upward and then descend, though her ability is more similar to an upward leap with diving capabilities than actual flight.
Chasca’s leaked flight in Genshin Impact may be similar to either of their skills or may be something completely different.
Seeing HoYoverse’s investment in making Natlan characters specialists in exploration, Chasca’s flight may be a lot less limited and grounded than Wanderer, who debatably has the best flying mechanics in the game. As such, Chasca may be a lot less limited to the time she is capable of flying around. Considering how the first Natlan characters’ traversal abilities are also applied to combat, it would be reasonable to expect that Chasca’s flight will also have special combat effects.
As is the case with any leak, the new information from White could be incorrect or subject to change and, as such, should be taken with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, the prospect of a new character with flying abilities seems extremely enticing, especially considering how much Wanderer’s flight mechanics were game-changing despite its limitations. The leaks about Chasca in Genshin Impact 5.1 indicate she will arrive in the next second Natlan update, which should arrive in early October if there are no delays to the content planning – and more leaks should arise with beta tests.
