Genshin Impact Version 6.1 Banner Characters Leak Online

Genshin Impact’s upcoming Version 6.1, titled “Luna II,” has generated significant buzz following leaks that reveal new character additions and banner information. A major highlight is Nefer, a 5-star Dendro Catalyst user from the newly introduced region of Nod-Krai. Nefer’s abilities revolve around the “Lunar-Bloom” reaction mechanic, which replaces traditional Bloom reactions and provides unique buffs and gameplay strategies.

Her Elemental Burst is reported to reduce enemy Dendro resistance by 25%, enhancing the potency of Dendro-based attacks, though her mechanics do not synergize with existing Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon teams, signaling a shift in team composition strategies.

Leaked banner information suggests Version 6.1 will feature two phases. Phase 1 is expected to include Nefer and Arlecchino, a 5-star Pyro Polearm user, while Phase 2 is rumored to bring Furina, a 5-star Hydro Sword user, alongside Zhongli, a 5-star Geo Polearm user. Four-star characters in the leaks include Lan Yan (Anemo Catalyst), Yun Jin (Geo Polearm), and Rosaria (Cryo Polearm), though their exact banner pairings with the 5-star units remain unconfirmed.

The update is anticipated to launch on October 22, 2025, following Genshin Impact’s standard 42-day update cycle, though an official release date has yet to be confirmed. Version 6.1 is expected to introduce meaningful changes to gameplay dynamics, particularly through the Lunar-Bloom reaction system and Nefer’s unique abilities, encouraging fresh approaches to team compositions and combat strategies. Fans can also look forward to the return of popular characters via rerun banners, adding further variety and excitement to the update. As the release date approaches, more official details are expected to clarify the full scope of the content.
