Summary
A recent leak in theGenshin Impactcommunity has revealed details about Ifa’s ability kit, as the 4-Star Anemo Catalyst is set to become the element’s fifth healer. There has been considerable excitement about Ifa since the Archon Quest teased his appearance in Version 5.1. This excitement has no doubt been magnified by the fact thatGenshin Impacthas only introduced one male 5-Star character since Wriothesley, who was added in October 2023.
WhileIfa inGenshin Impactwon’t be a 5-Star on his own, his ability kit shows plenty of promise. As an Anemo healer, he joins the ranks of beloved characters, such as Xianyun and Jean. As a Support character from Natlan, his baseline value is already high. However,Genshin Impactplayers are wondering two things in particular: what sets Ifa apart from other Anemo Catalysts, and how he stacks up against other 4-Star characters.
Thanks toSeele Leaks, fans can get an early overview of Ifa’s ability kit, as the veterinarian of the Flower-Feather Clan is set to make his playable debut in Version 5.6. Amusingly, Ifa can best be described as a better version of Yumemizuki Mizuki, the recently added5-Star Standard character inGenshin Impact. His healing is uncapped and can easily keep up with Furina’s Fanfare, and he is built to synergize with Electro-Charged teams – rather fittingly, this makes Ororon an unmatched teammate for Ifa.

One thing that immediately sticks out in his ability kit is Ifa’s ability to group enemies via his Elemental Burst. Depending on the strength of his crowd control, Ifa could easily establish himself as apowerful 4-Star character inGenshin Impact. With an ability kit that scales through Elemental Mastery, it may be a difficult task to obtain a full Artifact Set on time – unless fans borrow Viridescent Venerer from their other Anemo characters, such as Kazuha or Lan Yan.
Given that Ifa wants Natlan teammates, as well as the fact that he buffs Electro-Charged damage, it seems that he will be stuck withOroron inGenshin Impactfor the foreseeable future. A team that pairs the duo with Furina and Fischl seems the most logical choice, but Ifa can also work with Yelan, as he is primarily set up to be the “driver” of a Taser build, and can trigger continuous reactions with his Normal Attacks. The exact numbers of Ifa’s ability kit are expected to arrive by the end of March 2025, while Version 5.6 is set to come out on May 20, 2025.
