Why Genshin Impact 5.2 Leaks Showing Chasca Buff Is Great News, Even Outside Natlan (2025)

New leaks about a buff to Chasca in Genshin Impact 5.2 have emerged, showing that the improvement should benefit the character even when she is outside of Natlan. Chasca is one of the new characters arriving in HoYoverse’s action RPG in the next update, alongside Ororon. Both characters have already been confirmed by the developer, though no details other than their Vision types have been officially provided. Chasca and Ororon will debut in the leaked Genshin Impact 5.2 character banners, which have yet to determine which 5-star characters will rerun, as well as the 4-star units with improved drop rates.

While the abilities provided by Chasca have not been revealed, the details about how she works have leaked. Rumors are that Chasca is a 5-star Anemo bow user who operates as a main DPS. The leaks say that, while she is in her Nightsoul’s Blessing state, Chasca can fly around and fire at enemies for increased damage – in fact, leaks state that this is her main source of damage. Now, a new leak about a buff to Chasca’s ability has emerged, showing that she will become even more useful, both in and outside of Natlan in Genshin Impact 5.2.

Chasca’s Nightsoul & Phlogiston Consumption In Genshin Impact 5.2 May Be Reduced

This Could Extend The Natlan Character’s Nightsoul’s Blessing State

According to information provided by the leaker known as HomDGCat, Chasca underwent some adjustments during the beta tests for Version 5.2. The leaks were shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” on Reddit. As seen in the leak, Chasca’s consumption of Nightsoul points and Phlogiston in her Nightsoul’s Blessing state will be reduced by a whopping 30%. Essentially, this means that the Anemo character will be able to sustain her Nightsoul’s Blessing state for a longer duration since these are the two resources she consumes to keep it active in Genshin Impact.

Chasca’s Flight In Genshin Impact 5.2 May Last Longer Than Expected

The Character’s Flight Occurs In The Nightsoul’s Blessing State

The reduction of Chasca’s Nightsoul and Phlogiston consumption by 30% will, technically, allow her to fly around for a longer duration. Because her flight is activated in her Nightsoul’s Blessing state, Chasca should be able to fly around for more time while consuming fewer resources to maintain her active state. With an improved duration to her flight, Chasca may become an even better asset for exploration. The rumors of her free flight already made the new character a great addition to reaching new heights, but the longer flight could allow her to reach otherwise inaccessible places in the game.

There are rumors of a floating zone among the leaked Natlan map areas in Genshin Impact 5.2 and Chasca may become the best tool to navigate the location if the rumors about her improved mobility are true. With her flight, players could cross over from the floating zones safely, without having to rely solely on finding higher ground and gliding over to the next. With Chasca, they could safely fly from one zone to another and have a better experience exploring altogether. While Chasca should prove to be useful in Natlan, the buff may make her usable outside it, too.

Chasca’s Leaked Buff In Genshin Impact Could Make Her Usable Outside Of Natlan

Her Flight May Surpass Wanderer’s Flying Skills

Most Natlan characters so far have proven to be quite disappointing when it comes to their mobility abilities outside of the Nation of Pyro. Because most of them rely on their Nightsoul’s Blessing state to move around in an enhanced form, which consumes both Nightsoul points and Phlogiston in Natlan, and because other Nations do not provide Phlogiston, their mobility becomes reduced to a quick sprint. Mualani’s shark-riding skill, for instance, lasts for a very short burst outside of Natlan, whereas she can sustain it for a much longer time in Natlan, especially when collecting Phlogiston in Genshin Impact.

Chasca’s leaked buff in the Version 5.2 leaks could make her Nightsoul’s Blessing state last much longer, even if she is outside of Natlan. She will still be deprived of the usage of Phlogiston to extend her increased mobility, but her flight could last a bit longer than other Natlan characters’ mobility skills outside of the Nation of Pyro. At this point, it is uncertain if Chasca’s flight will beat Wanderer’s flight when she is outside of Natlan, but the prospect of a longer flight burst than his is not entirely out of consideration for the upcoming Genshin Impact character.

If Chasca’s flight outside of Natlan is at least on par with Wanderer’s flight, she may be a better alternative to him when exploring. Rumors indicate she can fly and ascend with a lot more ease than the Hat Guy, so reaching certain areas could be done easier with Chasca than Wanderer since he consumes a lot of Kuugoryoku Points by trying to gain more height. If Chasca does not run out of the fuel that keeps her in the air as easily as Wanderer in Genshin Impact, she could be great for traversing locations, in and out of Natlan.

In terms of combat, Chasca is already expected to surpass Wanderer. Their gameplay kits are rumored to be similar in the sense that she can also fly and use Normal and Charged Attacks to deal devastating blows against enemies. The difference cited in the Chasca leaks in Genshin Impact 5.2 is that her attacks are rumored to have better targeting on opponents, allowing her strikes and coordinated attacks to land more often – Wanderer also has extra coordinated attacks, but they are not guaranteed to be unleashed, which puts his full potential back by a bit.

These leaks about Chasca should be considered with caution. As reliable as they may seem, they may be incorrect or incomplete. Most importantly, however, they may still be subject to further changes as the beta tests for the upcoming patch occur, meaning the 30% reduction in Nightsoul and Phlogiston consumption may be adjusted once again before her official release. Version 5.2 is expected to arrive on November 20, following the six-week schedule for every update. The official livestream for Genshin Impact 5.2 should occur a few weeks before, on November 8, highlighting the content and confirming details about Chasca’s kit.
