Genshin Impact 6.2 | Hexenzirkel Faction And New Mechanics Guide

The Hexenzirkel, a mysterious and powerful assembly of witches founded by the legendary mage Alice, has long been one of Teyvat's most enigmatic factions. Comprising formidable women whose abilities rival the gods themselves, this secretive coven conducts Irminsul explorations and tea parties while influencing world-changing events from behind the scenes. With the upcoming 6.2 ‘Luna II’ update, the Hexenzirkel takes center stage with new gameplay mechanics that bring their mystical powers directly into combat.

Hexenzirkel Faction

The Hexenzirkel (German for "Witches' Circle") stands as one of Teyvat's most secretive and influential organizations, a coven of extraordinary women whose knowledge and power transcend mortal understanding. Founded by the legendary adventurer and sorceress Alice, the group operates beyond the constraints of national borders and mortal governance, pursuing agendas that even the Archons regard with cautious respect.

Unlike other factions driven by political or economic motives, the Hexenzirkel concerns itself with cosmic truths and the fundamental laws governing Teyvat. Their activities range from holding elegant interdimensional tea parties to conducting perilous expeditions into the depths of Irminsul, where they seek to unravel the secrets of the world's past and future. Historical records suggest the coven predates the fall of Khaenri'ah, with some members having witnessed—or participated in—cataclysmic events that shaped modern Teyvat.

The organization represents a unique fusion of ancient magic and forbidden knowledge, with members specializing in diverse arcane arts including alchemy, astrology, dimensional manipulation, and life creation. Their most remarkable achievement includes the creation of Simulanka—an entire mirror world reflecting Teyvat's possibilities—demonstrating their capability to manipulate reality itself.

Recent developments indicate the Hexenzirkel is emerging from shadows, establishing formal relations with Mondstadt through the Tripartite Conference mediated by Barbatos himself. As Teyvat approaches another era of upheaval, these mysterious witches appear poised to play a decisive role in shaping what comes next.

 

Hexenzirkel Members

The coven consists of eight known members, each identified by alphabetical codenames:

Name	Codename	Description	Status
Alice	A	The founder, Klee's mother, Creator of the Golden Apple Archipelago	Alive
Barbeloth	B	Mona's master, A powerful astrologist and prophetess	Alive
Andersdotter	M	Author of "The Boar Princess" and creator of Simulanka	deceased

Nicole	N	A guide who perceives Irminsul changes	Alive
Octavia	O	A wandering witch rarely present at tea parties	Unknown
Unnamed Eighth Member			Yet to be revealed

Alice is the elder of Hexenzirkel, and is author of the Teyvat Travel Guide, and is mother to Klee. She's a renowned Adventurer, Astrologist, Alchemist, and also considered to have a longer longevity than most, perhaps because she's from a nonhuman race, evident from Klee's ears.

Rhinedottir or otherwise known as Gold, is an alchemist from the fallen nation of Khaenri'ah. She's a master of Alchemy, most specifically Art of Khemia, the type of alchemy practiced in Khaenri'ah. She's also the teacher of Albedo.

Nicole: Described from the prophecy as the "guide who will never be lost", there's little known about Nicole, except that she can telepathically converse with anyone who's lost.

I.Ivanovna N., was a former member of the Hexenzirkel, who had to quit the coven to pursue her married life. The prophecy that Scarlett used during the Windblume Festival event quest was intended for her, and was written by her fellow Hexenzirkel elders.

Barbeloth is Mona's master, one whom she often refers to as the "old hag".

Andersdotter created and authored the initial land of Simulanka, becoming known as the Goddess of Fate, setting the plot and characters of the world, and hoping that the land would eventually become something more.
