With Genshin Impact’s Nod-Krai arc fast approaching in Version 6.0, the next several patches are poised to deliver some of the most stacked character releases in the game’s history. From long-requested lore icons like Durin and Varca, to game-changers like Colombina and the long-awaited Alice, the upcoming banners are shaping up to be absolutely massive.
In a detailed breakdown from Fontaine News on YouTube, we now have a tentative banner roadmap from 6.0 through 6.7, including character roles, team synergy, and potential power level. Here’s everything you need to know before spending your precious Primogems.
Version 6.0 – Nod-Krai Begins: Lunar Reactions Take Over
The 6.0 update introduces the Lunar reaction system, ushering in new combat mechanics and characters built around Electro-Charged and Bloom evolutions: Lunar Charged and Lunar Bloom.
First Banner:
- Flins (5★ Electro Polearm DPS)
A main DPS whose kit revolves around Lunar Charged reactions, hybrid scaling (ATK + EM), and dual-mode burst options. Flins is a foundational unit for Nod-Krai team comps. - Ino (4★ Hydro Claymore Support)
Key for enabling Lunar Bloom and Lunar Charged reactions right from patch 6.0. Not flashy, but essential for making new mechanics work efficiently.
Second Banner:
- Llama (5★ Dendro Catalyst Support)
Designed specifically to support Lunar Bloom. Her kit is EM-focused and built for consistent reaction uptime—making her invaluable for Dendro-Hydro comps.
This patch also introduces new artifact sets centered around EM scaling and Lunar synergy, along with enemies that reward consistent reaction use.
Version 6.1 – Lore Comes to Life with Durin
Banner:
- Durin (5★ Pyro Sword Support DPS)
The dragon from Mondstadt’s ancient lore returns in human form. Durin combines off-field Pyro, teamwide buffs, and healing—essentially a fusion of Bennett and Xiangling with updated mechanics.
While he doesn’t interact with Lunar reactions, he’s expected to become a top-tier Pyro support, possibly even replacing Bennett in some comps.
Version 6.2 – Nefer, the Lunar Bloom Archer
Banner:
- Nefer (5★ Dendro Bow Reaction DPS)
The first character fully dedicated to Lunar Bloom. Her kit is unique: she scales based on reaction uptime rather than raw stats. Think Childe gameplay meets Dendro—the faster your team rotates, the more damage she does.
Perfect for players who like skill expression, precision, and high-tempo Dendro teams.
Version 6.3 – Colombina Arrives to Reshape the Meta
Banner:
- Colombina (5★ Hydro Polearm Off-Field DPS)
One of the Four Shades, Colombina is expected to be meta-defining. Her off-field Hydro application is massive in range and consistent in uptime. Her skill, Song of the Welkin Moon, creates a persistent Hydro aura—ideal for triggering Lunar Bloom and Lunar Charged reactions.
Colombina is the core enabler for advanced Lunar teams. She’s projected to become essential in nearly every top-tier team composition involving Hydro reactions.
Version 6.4 – Two Mysterious Characters
Banner(s):
- Two unrevealed female characters
Their identities are still under wraps, but they appear to be connected to Celestia or the Abyss Order, suggesting high lore significance. These could be limited event banners, so keep an eye on developer streams and announcements.
Version 6.5 – Varca Finally Debuts
Banner:
- Varca (5★ Anemo Sword Main DPS)
The Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, long requested since the game’s release. Varca is expected to focus on raw Anemo damage rather than Swirl-based utility.
The community is split: lore fans are hyped, but there’s concern over his meta relevance in reaction-focused combat. Regardless, he’s a major milestone for Mondstadt players.
Version 6.6 – Nicole, Cryo Support for Alice
Banner:
- Nicole (Witch N) (5★ Cryo Catalyst Support)
Nicole is designed to be Alice’s perfect partner in Melt teams. She applies Cryo from off-field and extends reaction durations, making Melt uptime easier to manage. She also brings synergy mechanics specifically tied to Alice’s abilities.
If you’re planning to pull for Alice, Nicole is practically mandatory for unlocking her full potential.
Version 6.7 – Alice Dominates the Battlefield
Banner:
- Alice (5★ Pyro Catalyst Main DPS)
The legendary witch, mother of Klee, and arguably the most anticipated character in Genshin’s lore. Alice is expected to break traditional damage rules.
Rumored Mechanics:
- Ignores DEF mechanics
- Alters the battlefield dynamically during combat
- Unconfirmed reaction enhancements
Alice may end up becoming the most powerful DPS character in the game to date, with unique mechanics not shared by any other unit.
Final Thoughts: Who Should You Save For?

Want to Crush Future Abyss Content?

No matter your style, there’s something in this lineup that fits. Just make sure your Primogems are ready—because you’ll need them.
