In the hearts of every “Genshin Impact” player, this game has never been just a simple role-playing game. It is like a painting, with one colorful character after another, each with his own world view and philosophy of life. In the upcoming 5.5 version, the new card pool brings two very distinctive characters-Varesha and Ianshan. These two characters not only bring players a brand new gameplay experience in terms of game mechanics, but also reflect two completely different attitudes towards life, as if reminding us: Everyone can choose their own way of life, whether it is intense impulse or calm rationality, they can eventually reach their respective destinations.
Varesha: Explosion and redemption in impulse
Varesha, a five-star thunder attribute magic weapon character, gives people a relaxed and humorous impression at first glance, and her impressive image of a big eater has almost become her synonym. In the world of “Genshin Impact”, she is famous for her extreme eating records, and the challenge of 80 servings of food has undoubtedly made her the most watched existence. Her “appetite” is not only a part of her character, but also a symbol of her inner struggle. Her gluttony and extreme challenges seem absurd, but in fact they are her way of hiding her inner loneliness and anxiety. In this process, she did not choose words or silence, but consumed everything to seek a moment of tranquility and relief.
In battle, Varesha’s skill mechanism further reflects her character – she achieves her goals through fierce attacks, and her attacks are just like her life, direct and fearless. Her powerful damage output after entering the “fiery passion” state seems to be the embodiment of her impulsive mentality. Her skill release, without extra calculations and strategies, is more of a display of violent aesthetics. This method seems simple, but it also has its charm that cannot be ignored. In this character, we see not the exquisite layout and wise choice, but the impulse and power to directly declare to the world “I have been here”.
Varesha does not choose to endure, her fighting method is a violent release, and every blow is full of emotional outpouring. In her, we see the courage to no longer suppress and directly confront the world, as if only this fierce way can dispel the untouchable loneliness and pain deep in her heart.
Ianshan: The balance between calmness and rationality
In sharp contrast to Varesha’s impulsiveness is Ianshan, a four-star thunder-attributed long-handled weapon character who shows a completely different fighting style and personality traits. Ianshan’s “kinetic energy scale” skill allows her to adjust her tactics according to the movement and combat status of her teammates. This way of regulating the situation through reason and wisdom seems to tell us that calmness and rationality are the real weapons to deal with difficulties.
Ianshan does not conquer the enemy through powerful violence, but through cooperation with teammates and using her precise combat strategies to gradually change the situation. Her skill setting emphasizes the precise control of the battle situation. She is not just a warrior, but more like a commander, silently providing buffs to teammates in the background, and using her “kinetic energy scale” to ensure the maximum output of the team. Unlike Varesha, Ianshan’s battle does not have a violent outbreak, but is full of wisdom.
In real life, we often face moments that require calm response, and Ianshan’s calmness and rationality represent a philosophy of life: when facing challenges, don’t rush to react, but analyze calmly and use rational thinking to solve problems. Her existence is not only a setting of a game character, but more like a presentation of a life attitude – rationality is not emotionless coldness, but finding a balance between passion and impulse, and calmly responding to every challenge.
Role collision: the contest between impulse and rationality
The design of Varesha and Ianshan provides players with two very distinct choices, which represent two seemingly opposing but intertwined forces. In life, each of us will face choices at certain moments: choose Varesha’s impulse and passion, or choose Ianshan’s calmness and rationality? Perhaps, each of us is wandering between the two in our hearts, occasionally yearning for the aesthetics of violence, and occasionally pursuing the victory of rationality.
But no matter which choice, they will eventually lead us to different results. In this game of choice, we don’t have to simply choose one of the ways, but learn to find our own position between impulse and rationality. At some point, the power of impulse can help us break through difficulties, while rational thinking can help us stay calm and make more accurate judgments in the long process.
This kind of thinking is not only reflected in the character design, but also in the game mechanism. The new relic sets “Long Night’s Oath” and “Deep Corridor Finale” are an extension of this balance. The “Long Night’s Oath” set is suitable for players who prefer powerful attacks, while the “Deep Corridor Finale” provides a new choice for players who focus on rational decision-making and precise output. The setting of these two sets not only enriches the strategic nature of the game, but also reflects the game designer’s deep understanding of different combat methods and life philosophy.
Philosophy in the game: Every choice can make a different life
In the 5.5 version of “Genshin Impact”, the addition of two new characters, Varesha and Ianshan, brings not only the innovation of gameplay, but also a deep thinking about life choices. Varesha represents impulse and outburst, and Ianshan represents rationality and calmness. These two choices are just like the two possibilities we have on the road of life: violence and impulse, rationality and wisdom. Each of us can take a unique path based on our own choices and judgments.
Perhaps, at some moments, we need the courage and strength of Varesha to break through the pressure of the outside world; at other times, we need the calmness and rationality of Ianshan to plan accurately and move forward steadily. This is a clash of two philosophies of life, and it is also a choice that every player must face in the game and in life.
No matter which choice is made, they are full of their own charm and value. These characters in the game are not only the existence in the virtual world, but also the wisdom and strength that each of us can learn from when facing challenges. In the end, in the comparison between Varesha and Ianshan, we see the diversity of life, as well as the depth and complexity of life.
