- Voice Actors: Aleaxndra Guelff (English), Zhang Anqi (Chinese), Houko Kuwashima (Japanese), Jang Chae-yeon (Korean)
- Release: Luna I
The first 5-star character to feature in the Genshin Impact Nod-Krai banners is Lauma. She is a 5-star Dendro user with the Catalyst weapon enables the Lunar-Bloom reaction for her allies. She is the Moonchanter of the Frostmoon Scions, in other words, their current leader. Lauma is a king and wise figure in the chaotic world of Genshin Impact, and often her pursuit to find calm resolutions leads to others misjudging her as weak.

Aino was the second new character featured in the Genshin Impact 6.0 / Luna I banners. She is a 4-star rarity and is the first Hydro Claymore user in the game. She is the genius behind many robots and is also the designer and caretaker of Ineffa. Considered a child prodigy, Aino is also the founder of Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop. She has created not only Ineffa, but many other intricate machines.
3. Flins
- Element: Electro
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Polearm

The next Genshin Impact 5-star character that became playable in the Nod-krai update is Keryll Chudomirovic Flins, a Lightkeeper. He is a lone guardian of the lighthouse and the graveyard on the Final Night Cemetery.
He is a young and courtly gentleman who often appears enigmatic and cold to those new to him. Flins is also one of the last Snowland Fae in Nod-Krai, and he can listen to the whispers of the Wild Hunt.

- Voice Actors: Mizuki Nana (Japanese), Zeng Tong (Chinese)
- Release: 6.1
Nefer is a Dendro 5-star character and, like Lauma, she also converts all Bloom reactions into Lunar Bloom. However, Nefer is a DPS character and not a support, and she can dish out a ton of bloom damage when built correctly. Nefer is also the head of the Curatorium of Secrets and a member of the Voynich Guild. She is one of the most respected figures in Nod-Krai and will often help others find the solution to the trickiest of problems.
5. Durin
- Element: Pyro
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Sword
- Role: Vaporize and Melt support
- Identity: The Human form of Durin, Hexenzirkel Mage
- Voice Actors: NA
- Release: Luna III
Durin’s new human form was already teased back in Genshin Impact 5.6. At the time, there were speculations that Durin would become playable at some point. Well, that day is soon approaching, as Durin has been confirmed to have Pyro vision, as shown in the Song of the Welkin Moon trailer. His drip marketing also confirms Durin for the Genshin Impact Luna III banners. Durin will bring a ton of changes to the game with his release. Hoyoverse plans to buff older characters in Genshin Impact, giving them an additional ability by connecting them to the Hexenzirkel mages.
6. Jahoda
- Element: Anemo
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Bow
- Role: Healer, Support
- Identity: Works at Curatorium of Secrets
- Voice Actors: Inagaki Konomi (Japanese), Han Jiaojiao (Chinese)

Jahoda is a young lady who works at the Curatorium of Secrets. She is a capable young woman who often self-doubts her abilities. However, Nefer fully depends on Jahoda and uses her whenever necessary, even against Jahoda’s wishes. Her drip marketing recently also confirms her for Luna III banners. She is going to be a 4-star Anemo character with the bow weapon type.
7. Columbina
- Element: Hydro
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Catalyst
- Identity: The 3rd-ranked Fatui Harbinger, Moon Maiden
- Role: Lunar reaction support
- Voice Actor: Emi Lo (English), Lynn (Japanese), Yang Menglu (Chinese)
- Expected Release: Luna IV
Columbina will likely be the most sought-after character in Genshin Impact 6.x. We have previously seen reports of her becoming a playable character in Nod-Krai, and combining her reveal with this leak, it only strengthens the previous claim.
Columbina is the 3rd-ranked Fatui Harbinger and has already made a couple of appearances in the story trailers. Her most iconic appearance takes place in the La Signora’s funeral story teaser, where we also get to see the other Genshin Impact Fatui Harbingers for the first time. Recently, she has appeared as a vital character in the Nod-Krai storyline, introduced as the Moon Maiden who has left the Fatui. We also learn from leaks that she has strong synergy with other Nod-krai characters and is a Hydro element user.
8. White Horse Fairy
- Element: Anemo
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Unknown
- Role: Pseudo-Nilou
- Identity: Spirit of Istaroth
- Voice Actors: NA
- Expected Release: 6.3 (Phase 2)
White Horse Adeptus is a character that’s expected to appear in the Phase 2 banners of Genshin Impact version 6.3 / Luna IV. Although we know little about this character, a recent leak reveals her to have a female model. She is expected to be released during the Lantern Rite event of 2026.
The identity of this character is mentioned as the Spirit of Istaroth, which has massive connections to the lore. Istaroth is the Ruler of Time, one of the Four Shades in Genshin Impact, and one of the main culprits behind the Traveler’s sibling abandoning Khaenri’ah during the Cataclysm. With Venti already hinted to be Istaroth, the identity of this character is going to be highly significant.
9. Varka
- Element: Anemo
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Claymore
- Role: DPS
- Identity: Grand Master and Knight of Boreus of the Knights of Favonius
- Voice Actors: Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese), Hao Xianghai (Chinese)
- Expected Release: Luna VI
Varka is the Grand Master and Knight of Boreus of the Knights of Favonius. He is known to be the strongest in Mondstadt. It has been known for a while that he is in Nod-Krai, taking care of some secret business, and has finally made an appearance in the Luna II version. Varka wields a massive claymore, which will likely be his weapon. His vision was also revealed to be Anemo, which makes sense as he is from Mondstadt.
Interestingly, Varka mentions that he came to Nod-Krai for the Moon, with the Moon subtitled as Monstadt. This hints that the moon may have some connection with Mondstadt, especially if the Spirit of Istaroth is connected to it somehow.
Varka becoming playable in Genshin Impact Luna VI will be a dream come true for many old fans, as he has been hyped since the beginning of Genshin Impact. Interestingly, Varka’s buffed model is bigger than any male character in the game till now.
10. Nicole Reeyn

Nicole Reeyn is a prophetess, studying Teyvat’s direction and order. She is also known as the “Guide who will never be lost” due to her nature of helping those in need of guidance. One unique trait of Nicole Reeyn is that she is mute and directly communicates through telepathy.
