Genshin Impact: Character Roadmap Leaked, Save Your Primogems Now!
The full roadmap of Nod-Krai characters up to Version 6.3 has allegedly leaked, with many long-awaited characters finally being playable. From the mysterious and beautiful Columbina to both old and new faces that were revealed in the recent trailer, there are a lot of exciting things for players to look forward to.
Recent leaks from beta sources have revealed the identities and possible release schedule of upcoming Nod-Krai residents, so you can get to saving your Primogem!
Version 6.0: The First Wave
From the drip marketing done by HoYoverse themselves, three new characters will be released in Version 6.0.
Lauma, a 5-star Dendro Catalyst unit, will transform the familiar Bloom reaction into Lunar-Bloom damage that can crit. Lunar-Bloom appears to be an enhanced version of standard Bloom reactions, allowing critical hits for potentially higher damage output. She will finally bring the bloom-archetype back into the meta with her unique reaction, as well as units like Nilou and Nahida for those who have been waiting to dust them off the bench.
Flins joins the fray as another 5-star Electro Polearm on-field DPS that will have infused Normal Attacks and be focused on dealing big damage via the new Lunar-Charged reactions. Lunar-Charged reactions seem to be amplified versions of existing Electro reactions optimized for sustained damage. He will be a great pull for those who also pulled for Ineffa in Version 5.8 and want to make the maid robot even stronger.
Meanwhile, Aino rounds out the lineup as a 4-star Hydro Claymore character, the first of this combination. The trio will also introduce the new gameplay mechanic of Moonsign by working in tandem with each other. Moonsign appears to be a synergy system that unlocks additional abilities when these characters are used together, making them one of the most exciting additions in recent updates.
Complete Character Roadmap
Beyond the Version 6.0 release, extracted character data from leaked files reveals a clear release order across multiple patches. Here's the current roadmap based on these leaks:
Standout Releases
An interesting character in the list that got many players' attention is Durin, the 5-star Pyro unit who players got a glimpse of back in Version 5.6. Durin has always been a mysterious figure, greatly tied to the deeper lore of Genshin Impact. His name was mentioned all the way back in Version 1.2 and has been playing an integral part in the background lore of characters such as Albedo, Nichole, and Alice. With him finally being playable, many players are very excited about the prospect of his gameplay and connection to the overarching story of Nod-Krai.
Another standout is the elusive Columbina. Known as one of the Fatui Harbingers, her appearance in the character roster has sparked speculation about her role in the Nod-Krai storyline. Some players theorize she may be operating independently from the main Fatui organization during this arc, adding to the mysteries of her character. From what is written in the lore of the game and leaked information, she will be a powerful character connected to moon-based abilities and is expected to be the flagship unit for the 6.0 cycle of Nod-Krai releases, similar to how Furina and Mavuika served as the premier characters for their respective regions.
Additional Features and Future Content
The leaked data also hints at two mystery character slots, seemingly reserved for characters tied to an upcoming user-generated content (UGC) mode. This ambitious sandbox feature, expected to be released before the end of 2025, will let players fully customize their avatars, something completely new to Genshin Impact.
This revealed list only covers part of the Nod-Krai roster. Big names like Varka, Alice, and Nicole aren't expected until 2026, ensuring there's plenty of hype left for years to come. By stretching out the releases, HoYoverse keeps anticipation high while giving players time to save up their Primogems.
