Summary
- Genshin Impact 5.0 may introduce a new 5-star Dendro character with a special mobility-centered ability.
- The rumored ability could enhance players' mobility and exploration in Teyvat, especially with the growing map.
- The exact nature of this leaked mechanic remains uncertain and will likely be revealed in the Version 5.0 livestream.
Recent Genshin Impact 5.0 leaks about a new Natlan character have emerged, indicating they may have a game-changing skill. Version 5.0 is most likely still a few weeks away, with its release predicted for late August since the action RPG by HoYoverse has yet to go through the entirety of Version 4.8. Despite that, some rumors about the next big batch of content are emerging, and there have been some superficial Natlan character leaks in Genshin Impact, indicating their possible rarities, Visions, weapons, and roles.
Now, one of these rumored characters gained extra details. According to information obtained by the leaker known as HXG, which was then shared in a post tagged as “Sus” on Reddit, the rumored 5-star Dendro character in Version 5.0 will have a hook rope ability. Based on the information provided so far, it is uncertain exactly how this alleged gameplay mechanic will work, but it could significantly improve mobility for players exploring Teyvat. With stamina limitations, other forms of traversal are always appreciated in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact 5.0 Character’s Rumored Skill Could Enhance Players' Movement & Exploration
Ability Could Work In Different Ways
Moving quickly around in a game as large as the RPG is essential and, at the moment, sprinting alone has not been sufficient. If a grapple hook ability is added with the rumored 5-star Dendro character in Version 5.0, players will have yet another option to improve their exploration. For now, other characters that have special mobility skills include Yelan, Xianyun, and Wanderer, for instance. Even if limited, they offer extra alternatives to Stamina-consuming sprinting. Of course, the rumored hook ability has yet to be detailed by Genshin Impact leaks or the developer itself.
“If the leak is true, the mobility skill is good news for players.”
The rumored hook ability for the leaked Natlan character could work in different ways based on the surface-level information provided by HXG. This could, for instance, be somewhat akin to the Four-Leaf Sigils of Sumeru, though freeform rather than only usable in fixed locations. Alternatively, it could literally be a grappling hook that needs to be affixed to a surface, which would improve climbing, for instance. Furthermore, the leaked hook skill in Genshin Impact could even resemble the Wirebug mechanic from Monster Hunter Rise, where players can use the hook to jump around and reposition themselves quickly.
Some comments in the Reddit post also discuss the possibility of this specific skill being related directly to the Saurians, the dragon-like creatures from Natlan that have already been teased. These Saurians seemingly have different exploration mechanics and one of them, the green one, seems to have some sort of hook rope mechanic, too, which allows it to reach greater heights. There could be some type of connection with the rumored Dendro character for Genshin Impact 5.0, but this is all speculative for now, and leaks should be taken cautiously.
For reference, the other Saurian types showcased so far are seen burrowing through the landscape and quickly swimming on both water and lava.
The exact nature of the leaked hook rope mechanic is uncertain and will likely only be officially showcased by HoYoverse during the Version 5.0 livestream, expected to occur in mid-August. However, the mere mention of it seems to indicate some sort of mobility skill and, if the leak is true, it may be extremely beneficial to players, especially considering that the release of Natlan in Genshin Impact will significantly expand the explorable areas of the game.
