A recent leak from Genshin Impact is teasing the gameplay for upcoming playable character Durin, currently expected to release during the Version 6.2 update. The launch of Nod-Krai has brought a wide cast of new characters to the HoYoverse RPG, both featuring immediately playable characters and several more teased for the future. Lauma, Aino, and Flins served as the trio of characters joining Genshin Impact with Nod-Krai's launch, with HoYoverse already confirming Nefer for the Version 6.1 update. Now, another future character is being teased through leaks.
Durin has served as one of Genshin Impact's longest-rumored characters, with implications in the in-game lore dating back to the RPG's early days. Durin was first teased in-game during the release of Dragonspine in Version 1.2 with the fearsome dragon said to have died south of Mondstadt, becoming the mountain featured in the game. A new version of Durin was later created within the Simulanka by Hexenzirkel member Andersdotter during Version 4.8's Summertide Scales and Tales event, confirmed to feature a human form in Nod-Krai. Leaks are now giving an idea of how Durin will play in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Player Finds Clever Way to Defeat Nod-Krai Local Legend
A Genshin Impact player has found a unique method for defeating one of the newest Local Legends enemies added to the game in Version 6.0.
A recent leak shared via leakers Kokomi, HomDGCat, and Seele is hinting at the gameplay for Durin's release in Version 6.2. According to the post, Durin will act similarly to a Pyro version of Escoffier, with off-field Pyro application and RES shred as a major part of his kit. Durin will also provide special buffs when other Hexenzirkel members are in the team, reducing enemies' RES when hit with Pyro Elemental Reactions while paired with other Hexenzirkel characters. The post even includes some pre-existing characters who count towards the requirement, including Albedo, Mona, Venti, and Klee.
Genshin Impact Leak Teases Durin's Gameplay
Durin's abilities becoming more powerful when paired with Hexenzirkel members likely provides a strong hint at some of the game's next releases. HoYoverse confirmed multiple Hexenzirkel members will become playable throughout the course of the Nod-Krai cycle, teasing new characters like Alice and Nicole Reeyn. The Hexenzirkel was also directly named in Genshin Impact's teasers for Nod-Krai, with the mysterious organization said to be one of the major factions involved in the region's story. Durin and Version 6.2 are expected to launch on December 3.
Genshin Impact's Nod-Krai looks to have lots in store for fans of the game with a plethora of exciting characters coming soon. A pair of Fatui Harbingers have already appeared in Nod-Krai's story, with both Columbina and Sandrone involved in the Archon Quest and expected to become playable. The previously-mentioned Alice is also expected to finally make her in-game debut, after being mentioned within the game as early as Version 1.0. Genshin Impact's roster should have some of its most notable additions yet during the Nod-Krai cycle.
