New sets in Genshin Impact will likely complement the abilities of upcoming characters.
A new leak in Genshin Impact community has revealed that version 5.5 may introduce a second batch of artifact sets in Natlan, after a four-update hiatus. While Genshin Impact is known for having a very strict content update schedule, there's an argument to be made that Natlan has been an exception in this regard. Version 5.2 launched with an interlude instead of the final act of Natlan's Archon Quest, while version 5.3 and version 5.4 have both skipped adding a map expansion to the new region.
As a result, the back end of Natlan is expected to be heavy on content, while the update stretch between version 5.1 and version 5.5 has been described as dry by Genshin Impact community. While Archon Quest was as long as Fontaine and Sumeru, and Ochkanatlan was well received by fans, Natlan in Genshin Impact will only have two zones and one artifact domain to work with seven months after launch.

According to hxg_diluc via DK2, version 5.5 will apparently be the update to introduce the second Artifact Domain for Natlan, and there are several factors pointing in this direction. Version 5.2 introduced the Flower-Feather Clan and the Masters of the Night-Wind, but the Collective of Plenty is still missing. Since version 5.4 will launch without a new area, and Iansan is rumored for version 5.5, adding two artifact sets in Genshin Impact to the upcoming Natlan map expansion is a likely outcome.
Genshin Impact may add new artifact sets in version 5.5
Given that Natlan supports prefer Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, and Natlan hypercarries prefer Obsidian Codex, these new Artifact Sets would need to focus on a new niche entirely. While the leak doesn't mention the exact bonuses for the new artifact sets, it's important to remember that they tend to synergize with upcoming ability kits. Genshin Impact sign. According to the listing, Iansan, Varesa, Effie and Ifa are all expected to launch between version 5.5 and version 5.6.
Assuming both Iansan and Varea are Electro characters in Genshin Impactthen one of the sets could potentially be dedicated to the Overload or Superconduct playstyle, the latter being extremely unlikely. Given the increase in Overload i Genshin Impact, a dedicated artifact set could provide additional synergies beyond having Chevreuse on the team. On the other hand, the second half of Natlan will also see the release of several 5-stars and 4-stars that are not tied to the Nightsoul mechanic, such as Skirk and Dahlia. Regardless of its effects, they will almost certainly conform to the needs of these characters.
