Recent datamining for Genshin Impact has revealed that the Event Banners for Version 6.0 will feature Flins, Yelan, Lauma, and Nahida. With the Natlan era coming to a close, Version 6.0 is set to introduce Nod-Krai to Genshin Impact. This new region of Teyvat is seen as a mishmash of its local culture combined with visitors from all other nations. It's a convergence of storylines and visuals, as Nod-Krai is expected to wrap up any loose ends before the Traveler's confrontation with the Tsaritsa.
The first update of Nod-Krai, Version 6.0, will mark the debut of three characters to Genshin Impact. Aino, Flins, and Lauma will all become playable in Version 6.0, with Aino in particular being awarded for free to help facilitate puzzle solving and combat mechanics. Much like Natlan and Fontaine, Nod-Krai will introduce a gameplay feature unique to its characters, Lunar Reactions. These reactions serve to enhance any Elemental Reaction caused by Hydro, though only Lunar-Charged and Lunar-Bloom will be available by Version 6.0.
Genshin Impact is Recasting Another Character
Genshin Impact is recasting another member of the HoYoverse RPG's English voice cast, replacing one of the game's oldest characters.
As datamined by HomDGCat, the featured 5-Star characters of Version 6.0 will be Flins, Lauma, Yelan, and Nahida. While Flins and Lauma were leaked earlier by many sources, this is the first time that Yelan and Nahida are mentioned as getting reruns. In many ways, they are an obvious pick. Yelan was recently given a premium outfit in Version 5.8, while Nahida is due for a rerun as one of the Archons in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact: Version 6.0 Event Banners
- Flins – 5-Star Electro Polearm
- Yelan – 5-Star Hydro Bow
- Lauma – 5-Star Dendro Catalyst
- Nahida – 5-Star Dendro Catalyst
Given Nahida's presence on the Event Banners in Version 6.0, there is a decent chance that HoYoverse will also do a Sumeru Chronicled Banner in the second half of the update. While datamining cannot determine the order of banner characters, if combined with earlier leaks, the most probable order will have Flins and Yelan in the first half, while the second half will feature Lauma and Nahida. As for Aino, the 4-Star character of Version 6.0, earlier precedent places her as most likely to be paired with Flins and Yelan in Genshin Impact.
As for the possibility of a new Chronicled Banner in Genshin Impact, many Sumeru characters are overdue for a rerun, Cyno most of all. However, with Lauma specifically being a Bloom Support, she would be perfect for Nilou and her Bountiful Cores. As for any evidence of a Sumeru Chronicled Banner, the beta build for Version 6.0 comes with a few accommodating buffs to Sumeru characters, allowing them to have synergy with the new Lunar Reactions. Players will no doubt learn more during the next Special Program Announcement. Version 6.0 is set to launch on September 10.
