Summary
Leaked new Artifacts inGenshin Impact5.0 are said to boost what seems like an exclusive Natlan mechanic that should revealed in the weeks until the update is introduced. Version 5.0 is expected to be the next patch after Version 4.8, which is yet to be added to the action RPG by HoYoverse. While Version 4.8 will bring forth Emilie as a playable character and a limited-time summer event, Version 5.0 will be a massive update that will see therelease of Natlan inGenshin Impact. With it, a new region, new characters, new quests, and more should arrive.
Alongside that are, likely, new challenges and rewards, some of which have been leaked. According to information obtained by the leaker known as Foul, which was then shared in a post tagged as “Questionable” onReddit,two new Artifact sets will be added with Version 5.0 and both of them will revolve around a mechanic that is rumored to be called Night Spirit. This supposed mechanic has been mentioned in other Natlan leaks, such as the one about the new Dendro claymore character inGenshin Impact, but there is little information on how it will work.

Some gameplay details about the Dendro claymore character from Natlan in Genshin Impact have emerged ahead of his release in Version 5.0.
New Natlan Artifacts In Genshin Impact Boost The Night Spirit Mechanic
The Mechanic May Work Similarly To Bond Of Life
For now, despite how little is known about this Night Spirit mechanic, the recent leak by Foul does provide players with more details that could lead to some speculation. According to the leaked information, the first Artifact set to be added with Natlan in Version 5.0will increase the equipping character’s damage and CRIT Rate by consuming Night Spirit. The second set, on the other hand, will allegedly help restore Energy and boost damage output for the character whenever a team member enters the Night Spirit state inGenshin Impact.
“Night Spirit may have different effects based on the character that triggers it.”
What can be understood from the leak is that Night Spirit is a state that characters can enter and that a portion of it can be consumed. In a sense, Night Spirit does seem to work in a similar manner to Bond of Life. In Bond of Life, while characters do not necessarily enter a state, they gain stacks of the debuff that they can consume. The effects often trigger depending on how much Bond of Life they have.Night Spirit will likely operate differently since it is described as a state that characters enterinGenshin Impact.
In the leak about the Dendro claymore character, Foul mentions that, while he is in his Night Spirit state, he can gather special stacks that boost Burning damage. From what it seems, this Night Spirit may be the next big combat mechanic introduced to the game, following Bond of Life itself.It is likely that Night Spirit will not be activated in all charactersbut only be applied to new Natlan-related units moving forward.
The specifics as to how this rumored mechanic will work, how it will be activated, and how each character gets different effects have yet to be seen. In fact, the leak should be taken with caution, as they may be incorrect or subject to change. “Night Spirit” may even be the wrong term in English, for instance. The Natlan leaks are looking promising for now, though players will still need to endure therelease ofGenshin Impact4.8before exploring the Nation of Pyro.
