Genshin Impact fans, buckle up! So, I got some juicy tidbits from a pretty dependable source about what’s bubbling up in Nod-Krai. Like, who knew we’d get details about gender, elements, and factions of the new characters? I mean, seriously. We’re wrapping up Natlan in Version 5.8 (thank goodness), and now – bam! – all eyes are on Nod-Krai. It’s like the lore gods are trying to wrap everything up neatly, getting us prepped for the Traveler’s showdown with the Tsaritsa.
Now, let’s bring gameplay into the mix. Nod-Krai is shaking things up with these new Lunar Reactions. Apparently, this is supposed to jazz up the lackluster Elemental Reactions—think Superconduct and Crystallize, but cooler.
Then there’s Ineffa. Ever heard of a mechanical construct in a fantasy game? Yeah, that’s her gig. Built by the Clink-Crank Krumkake Craftshop’s founder (try saying that five times fast). As a 5-Star Electro character, she’s bringing in Lunar-Charged, supposedly wiping out the original Electro-Charged bummers. Some folks say she’d turn current hypercarries like Cyno into powerhouses. But who knows? Maybe her best mate won’t even show up until September 2025. We’ll see.
Oh, and according to Shiroha (who apparently nails predictions like nobody’s business), we’ve got quite the roster lined up—barring Dottore, who’s still on the bench for Nod-Krai. But hey, we’ve got Durin, Columbina, Varka, Nicole, and apparently, Alice is popping in, too. And get this, the Lantern Rite character is, like, a White Horse Adeptus from Moonlight Bamboo Forest. Kinda wild, right?
List time! Here’s the rough scoop on who’s introducing themselves in the updates—though who knows what’ll change:
- Unknown Male: Electro, DPS, Lightkeepers in 6.0.
- Unknown Female: Geo, DPS, Frostmoon Scions in 6.0.
- Another Unknown Female: Pyro, Support, Curatorium of Secrets in 6.1.
- Durin: Male, Pyro, DPS, Knights of Favonius in 6.2.
- Columbina: Female, Hydro, Hybrid, Fatui Harbingers in 6.3.
And so on. Varka, Nicole, Alice… It’s like a buffet of new faces. But, you know how these leaks are. They could hold solid for a bit or twist like plotlines in a soap opera. Remember when Charlotte was this Anemo gal from Mondstadt? Times change, peeps.
Anyway, with Version 6.0 tossing in a 5-Star Electro dude and a 5-Star Geo gal, there’s some strategizing for Primogems to be done. Heads up for Version 5.8, those precious gems will guide your pulling choices. Nod-Krai flings its doors open on September 10, 2025. Feels far off, but time flies when you’re Genshin-obsessed.
