Iansan, Varesa's mentor, describes her as a unique student with an easygoing and carefree spirit. Her adventurous nature leads her to seek out delicious treats and cozy spots to rest. However, don't be fooled by her relaxed demeanor. Iansan warns, "If you ever fight Abyss monsters with her, the moment she gets into the zone, she turns into an unstoppable force!" This intriguing duality makes Varesa a character to watch out for in the upcoming update.
Joining Varesa in update 5.5 is Iansan herself, who transitions from an NPC to a playable character. As a 4-star Electro user wielding a Polearm, Iansan brings her expertise as Natlan's top trainer to the battlefield. Varesa praises her mentor, saying, "Iansan is Natlan’s top trainer and the person I admire the most! People say I’m talented, but without her training, that talent would have gone to waste. Don’t worry if you’re not used to working out—Coach Iansan knows how to train anyone! Oh, by the way, wanna check out this flyer? She’s recruiting new students!"
