A new Genshin Impact leak from Seele leaks has revealed that in Patch 5.5. The flagship event will allow players to get a free copy of Ororon, the latest 4-star electro character released a few patches ago. While details remain scarce, the event is expected to be the flagship limited-time event of Patch 5.5, much like previous events with free characters and or weapons.
The last time Genshin Impact players received a free 4-star character was during Lantern Rite in Patch 5.3, where the Lantern Rite Selector allowed players to choose from a pool of Liyue-based 4-star units. This event has traditionally been the best opportunity for free-to-play and low-spending players to obtain a valuable new addition to their roster without spending Primogems. These events are also great for players and content creators doing “no pull accounts” where every free character given is huge.
Now, with Patch 5.5, HoYoverse seems to be following a similar formula to many other regions and patch releases. This time featuring Ororon as a free event reward. Unlike Lantern Rite’s regional character pool selection, this event will likely be structured around the main limited-time event for 5.5, offering Ororon as a reward for completing event milestones or specific tasks and building up an event currency of sorts as is often the case with these types of events.
As mentioned, this leak comes from Seele Leaks. Check out their telegram for other potential information but be careful of story spoilers. This information spread quickly though social media channels such as the leaks subreddit.
Many players are excited for this free copy of Ororon, either because they were unlucky on banners or simply because he is a powerful character in Genshin Impact. Especially for a 4-Star.
Who is Ororon? Is this DPS Worth it?
Ororon is a 4-Star electro Sub DPS who mainly focuses on electro-charged (taser) team compositions. This means he has great synergy with other Hydro units. He uses a bow with one of his best build options being the Favonius Warbow for players obtaining him for the first time for free in the patch 5.5 event can easily build Ororon.

Ororon Guide and Best BuildOroron is a great reward, even with the recent leaks of a new 4-Star electro releasing in patch 5.5. Iansan does not compete for the same position or teams, nor even weapons so there’s nothing to worry about!
If this leak holds true, patch 5.5 of Genshin Impact is a great opportunity for players. More details will likely surface as we get stuck into patch 5.5’s beta so stay tuned for more information!
