The entire Nod-Krai cast has finally been revealed, and fans are calling it one of the best-designed lineups in Genshin history. With hype at an all-time high, players are facing a major dilemma: who to wish for and when?
Thankfully, Jello Impact has put together an incredibly detailed breakdown of the likely banner timeline from 6.0 through 6.6, based on a trusted leaker with a near-perfect record so far.
Here’s a full roadmap of what to expect across the upcoming patches—including reruns, free characters, and Archon-tier releases.
6.0 First Half – Flynn + Yelan Rerun?
- Flynn: Electro DPS, likely Polearm or Bow user
- Free 4-star: Ayano, expected to be Hydro despite her design suggesting Electro or Dendro
- Yelan rerun likely due to her new skin and synergy with Luna-based reactions
Flynn is predicted to be the centerpiece of 6.0’s launch banners, and Yelan rerunning alongside him makes both gameplay and revenue sense. Ayano is expected to be the free four-star character, just like Lynette was in Fontaine.
6.0 Second Half – Llama + Nahida Rerun?
- Llama: Dendro Bloom support, works with all Bloom variants
- Likely reruns: Nahida, Nilou, Sino, Alhaitham
With Llama supporting Bloom reactions across the board, HoYoverse could rerun some of Dendro’s top-tier synergies. Nahida makes perfect sense, both for lore and for synergy with Llama’s Bloom boosting capabilities.
6.1 – Duran + Verina?
- Duran: Pyro off-field support, similar to Bennett/Xiangling
- Jehovah (new 4-star) possibly supports Vape comps
- Reruns: Arleino, Zhongli, Verina, Novallet Skin
Duran could be a powerful support pick, possibly the best partner for Arleino or Verina. This makes a rerun for those characters highly probable. And if Jehovah supports Pyro teams, she could round out this banner as a new 4-star.
6.2 – Ineffa + Novallet + Fina?
- Ineffa: Dendro Bloom DPS, complements Llama’s support
- Likely reruns: Novallet, Fina (Hydro Archon), Clorinde
This patch could be brutal for wallets. If Ineffa and Llama become a new Bloom meta core, Fina rerunning beforehand ensures people don’t skip her once Colombina is released. Smart timing, evil marketing.
6.3 – Colombina + Skirk + Escarfier?
- Colombina: Confirmed to be the region’s Archon-like powerhouse
- Likely reruns: Skirk, Escarfier, Rio
This could be one of the most stacked patches ever. If Colombina supports or synergizes with Skirk, expect this to be a must-pull patch. It’s also a good time to rerun Escarfier or Rio, based on rerun timelines.
6.4 – Lantern Rite: Moa + Shalonin + Navia?
- Likely new character: Madame Ping or new Liyue 4-star
- Likely reruns: Moa, Shalonin, Navia, possibly Citlali
Lantern Rite is always a major revenue driver, and Moa is due for a rerun. Shalonin and Navia could show up to support it, especially as Geo units remain underrepresented in recent patches.
6.5 – Varka + Venti + Mondstadt Chronicled Wish?
- Varka: Finally debuting, likely Anemo DPS
- Likely reruns: Venti, Kenich, Emily
This patch could be a Mondstadt nostalgia blast, especially if they decide to do a Mondstadt Chronicled Wish following Lantern Rite. Prediction man believes Varka will launch here.
6.6 – Alice + Nicole + Raiden?
- Alice: Lore powerhouse, potentially similar to Skirk in status
- Nicole: Predicted to be a support unit, possibly tailored for Alice
- Likely rerun: Raiden Shogun
Following Varka’s release, Alice may become the new meta-mystery unit, supported by Nicole in a dynamic banner duo. Raiden is due for a rerun around this time and fits perfectly.
Characters Not Expected During 6.x
According to leaker predictions:
- Sandrone and other unconfirmed Fatui are unlikely to be released during 6.x
- Chronicle Wishes for Fontaine are likely delayed until 7.x, as there aren’t enough units yet to justify it
Final Thoughts: Early Patches = High Reliability
Patches 6.0 to 6.2 are backed by solid predictions, including details like:
- Flynn being Electro
- Duran being a Pyro off-field support
- Llama supporting Bloom reactions
- Ayano being free
- Colombina as the 6.3 powerhouse
Past 6.3, the speculation gets a little looser—but the structure holds up well.
If you’re trying to plan your primogems, this breakdown offers one of the clearest roadmaps we’ve seen so far. Just remember—everything is subject to change, and even Prediction Man can miss once in a while.
