Genshin Impact is going to release the Natlan region soon in version 5.0, making it one of the biggest updates in the history of the game. From the recent Natlan teasers, Genshin Impact has revealed the first look at the Natlan characters, including Mavuika who is most likely to be the Pyro Archon. Among the Natlan characters, the teaser also reveals The Captain (Il Capitano) who is the strongest Fatui Harbinger. If you are interested in Il Capitano, The Captain, then here is everything we know about his leaked kit, release date, and weapon type.
Who Is ‘The Captain’ in Genshin Impact
Il Capitano, or The Captain, is one of the Fatui Harbingers and is considered the strongest of them all, ranked first place. Capitano is known for his righteousness, which even earns him mockery from the Wanderer. He has been mentioned by Childe and Wanderer, highlighting his reputation as one of the most formidable Fatui Harbingers.
The Captain is set to play an important role in the upcoming Natlan storyline. A leak shared by a user named White on Reddit suggests that Capitano is not a native of Teyvat, coming instead from another planet. This potential backstory could significantly impact the main narrative, especially concerning his connection to the traveler, who similarly is not originally from Teyvat.
Will Il Capitano (The Captain) be Playable in Genshin Impact?
To date, Genshin Impact has made most of the Fatui Harbingers available as playable characters, including Childe, Wanderer, and Arlecchino. Fans are eager to know if Il Capitano will join their ranks. However, recent leaks indicate that he won’t become playable during the Natlan arc. Given his status as the strongest Fatui Harbinger, it seems unlikely that he will be accessible anytime soon, especially since the game has only recently begun its end story arc.
Leaked information suggests that while Capitano may eventually be playable, he won’t enter the gacha pool during the Natlan arc. Instead, it’s anticipated that he will remain a significant character in the story without being part of the player roster just yet.
Will ‘The Captain’ Release In Genshin Impact Natlan?
The recent trailers for Natlan clearly indicate that The Captain will have a major role in the Natlan storyline. However, this does not guarantee his playability during this arc. In fact, The Captain has a very low chance of being playable during the Natlan arc. It is highly improbable that the game's strongest Fatui Harbinger will be available to players this early in the narrative.
An older leak from Reddit supports this notion, suggesting that The Captain will not be included in the gacha pool during the Natlan arc. While it has been confirmed that he will be a playable character eventually, there is still uncertainty about his availability in Natlan.
Genshin Impact ‘The Captain’ Leaked Kit, Weapon & Element
As of now, there are no leaks regarding The Captain's kit, but it is expected that his weapon will be a Sword, as highlighted in the recent Genshin Impact 5.0 trailer. Initially thought to be a Claymore user, recent leaks from the reliable source MeroMero indicate that Capitano will instead wield a Sword.
Additionally, both the Ignition Teaser for Natlan and the 5.0 Trailer offer a glimpse of The Captain’s abilities, which appear to involve Cryo elements. It seems that Il Capitano’s vision is Cryo, as he is shown creating an Ice sword to battle Mavuika in the trailer. However, this is still speculation based on visual effects, and further confirmation is awaited.
That’s all the information we have about The Captain in Genshin Impact so far. If you have any further leaks or theories concerning Il Capitano, feel free to share them in the comments!
