Genshin Impact 6.1 New Character
There is just one new character coming with Genshin Impact 6.1:
Nefer Kit Analysis & Playstyle
 | Element | Dendro |
| Weapon | Catalyst |
Nefer Genshin Impact is a Dendro Catalyst Main DPS centered on Bloom-based reactions. She hails from Nod Krai and interacts with Varka in the PV. She doesn't create normal Dendro Cores; instead, she converts reactions into a unique 'Lunar-Bloom' effect, which she then consumes for massive damage during her 'Shadow Dance' state.
Her unique talent resembles Lauma's, which converts allies' elemental reactions into Lunar-Bloom and grants her a Shadow Dance effect instead of Dendro Cores. Besides that, she consumes Shadow Dance and Verdant Dew when using Elemental Skill for an Enhanced Charged Attack with powerful Lunar-Bloom damage.
Genshin Impact 6.1 Rerun Characters
There are three rerun characters to watch during the two phases of Genshin Impact 6.1 character banners:
Arlecchino
 | Element | Pyro |
| Weapon | Polearm |
Arlecchino is a Pyro polearm DPS who sacrifices healing for power and gains +40% Pyro DMG and +20% RES. Her skill marks enemies with Blood-Debt Directive, which evolves and can be absorbed to form a Bond of Life up to 145% HP. When Bond is above 30%, her normal attacks become Pyro-infused and consume Bond for stronger hits and shorter cooldowns. Besides that, her Burst delivers AoE Pyro damage and restores HP by clearing the Bond, along with resetting her skill for another rotation.
Furina
 | Element | Hyro |
| Weapon | Sword |
Furina remains one of Genshin Impact's strongest and most versatile characters. She still dominates the Spiral Abyss long after her release. She shines as a buffer, off-field DPS, Hydro applicator, and healer. She switches between Ousia (summons Hydro familiars that trade allies' HP for higher damage) and Pneuma (offers single-target healing). Her consistent Hydro application also makes her a great fit for the new Lunar reaction system.
Furina remains the premier universal buffer and Hydro applicator. Pulling for her in 6.1 is a great idea if you want to boost your team's overall damage or pair her with the new Nefer for powerful Bloom reactions.
Zhongli
 | Element | Geo |
| Weapon | Polearm |
The Geo Archon of Liyue, Zhongli serves as one of the game's most reliable shield supports. His powerful shield blocks damage and also reduces enemy RES by 20%. You can pull him if you lack solid Geo support. In the Luna banner, Zhongli gains a new twist. He channels the power of the moon and revives the White Horse Adeptus, which adds a mystical touch to his lore and abilities.
New UGC Game Mode
One of the most exciting things about Genshin Impact 6.1 banners is the UGC game mode. It lets players build and share their own custom domains and mini-games within Teyvat. Check out our detailed guide on Miliastra Wonderland to learn all about their new UGC game mode.
Genshin Impact Version 6.1 Luna II Quests
There are two new Archon Quests arriving in the Luna II update. Both quests promise rich storytelling and exciting new challenges for Travelers to enjoy in Genshin Impact 6.1.
A Nation That Doesn't Exist Archon Quest
"The Song of the Welkin Moon: Act III – A Nation That Doesn't Exist", continues the main storyline with deeper insights into the mysterious nation beyond Teyvat.
An Elegy for Faded Moonlight Archon Quest
"Act IV – An Elegy for Faded Moonlight" expands on the Luna saga. It shows new lore and key character developments tied to the moon's power.
Version 6.1 Luna II Weapons
Version 6.1 introduces many new weapons to give new and veteran Travelers more options.
5-Star Catalyst: Reliquary of Truth
Reliquary of Truth is the highlight of this update. It is a brand-new 5-star catalyst expected to be Nefer's signature weapon. It will launch with the Luna II weapon banner.
4-Star Sword: Moonweaver's Dawn
Originally a quest reward from the Polkka Beneath the Moon's Oracle quest, Moonweaver's Dawn will now be available through the weapon banner in Version 6.1.
4-Star Catalyst: Dawning Frost
Dawning Frost is a new 4-star catalyst joining the Luna II weapon lineup. It can be obtained from the weapon banner and is ideal for a steady elemental damage boost.
4-Star Polearm: Sacrificer's Staff
The Sacrificer's Staff is a 4-star polearm that offers utility and flexibility for polearm users. It will also be accessible from the weapon banner.
Version 6.1 Luna II Enemies
In the Genshin Impact 6.1, Frostnight Herra is the new field boss. It is located in the Nod-Krai region. This frost-clad creature brings unique mechanics that test both timing and team composition.
