Genshin Impact has officially revealed Nefer, the boss of the Curatorium of Secrets, as a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst coming in Version 6.1. With Version 6.0 underway, Genshin Impact has opened the doors of Nod-Krai to the Traveler. Located on the southern borders of Snezhnaya, individuals and factions from all over Teyvat gather in Nod-Krai. Version 6.0 introduced players to a vibrant cast, but only added three to the list of playable characters: Lauma, Flins, and Aino.
Flins and Aino are due to debut in the second half of Version 6.0, but Lauma is currently available on the Event Banners. She is a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst who buffs Lunar-Bloom and Dendro reactions. While Lauma is a versatile support character in Genshin Impact, players should also consider her synergy with the upcoming Nefer.
Genshin Impact Leaks Banner Characters for Version 6.1
Thanks to recent datamining efforts, Genshin Impact players discover which 5-Stars and 4-Stars will feature alongside Nefer in Version 6.1.
Genshin Impact: Nefer
- Rarity: 5-Star
- Gender: Female
- Element: Dendro
- Weapon: Catalyst
- Constellation: Ludus Latrunculorum
Nefer will be the sole character of Version 6.1, officially announced by Genshin Impact across social media. She will be a Lunar-Bloom hypercarry, allowing Lauma to use the other half of her support kit. Much like Wriothesley, Nefer in Genshin Impact will be a Catalyst who fights at melee range, but her gameplay style is primarily compared to Skirk. She generates resources by triggering Lunar-Bloom reactions, and spends them via Charged Attacks enhanced by her Elemental Skill.
An important thing to keep in mind is Nefer's over-reliance on Lauma in Genshin Impact. Much like Escoffier for Skirk, there is a huge difference in power between a Nefer team without a Lauma and a Nefer team with Lauma. As such, it is important for Genshin Impact players to obtain both characters if they intend to build a premium team for Nefer. This trend has been critiqued since the emergence of Citlali and Mavuika, but it would seem that the developers are still keen to lean into it.
Thankfully, Version 6.0 is abundant in Primogems, and even free-to-play accounts will be able to obtain over a hundred Intertwined Wishes. Assuming players saved up on their Primogems in Genshin Impact before Nod-Krai, they should be able to guarantee both 5-Star characters by the start of November. However, given that Columbina is expected to join the playable cast in Version 6.3, players should keep an eye out for how the Moon Maiden would fit a premium Nefer team. Whereas Nefer and Lauma form a powerful core, the other two slots have yet to crystallize – with Yelan, Xinqiu, Aino, Nahida, Baizhu, and Zhongli all viable options. Version 6.1 is set to launch on October 22, 2025.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
