All New Enemies in Nod-Krai: Genshin Impact 6.0

Version 6.0 ushers in Nod-Krai, an unforgiving frontier steeped in moonlit mysteries—and its enemies demand more than raw damage; they’re built around the brand-new Lunar mechanics: Moonglare Reaction and the Moonsign bonuses Ascendant Gleam and Nascent Gleam. Let’s dive into each major foe, weaving their lunar-tainted lore with how you can turn those mechanics against them.

Frostnight Scion

Gleaming Charge: Frostnight Scion (Electro)	Tangled Vines: Frostnight Scion (Dendro)	Blazing Brilliance: Frostnight Scion (Pyro)	Icy Crystal: Frostnight Scion (Cryo)
HP: 2703676  ATK: 17235
In normal state, is immune to Cryo Element. In Enhanced State, Cryo RES 170%, other RES 130%, exits after taking corresponding Element DMG or Lunar Reaction DMG a certain number of times. Abyss Version: Enters Enhanced State immediately.

In the frigid expanses of Nod-Krai, the Frostnight Scion stands as a formidable elite: an amorphous ice-crystal colossus capable of appearing in four distinct elemental forms—Electro, Dendro, Pyro, and Cryo—each Frostnight Scion entering an Enhanced State with extreme resistance to its own element and greatly increased resistance to others, which only collapse after taking repeated elemental or Lunar Reaction damage.

While a traditional approach demands separate, element-specific teams for each variant, Lunar Reaction comps can cut through any form with equal efficiency, making them the universal answer. Nod-krai’s new recruits—Flins, Lauma, Ineffa, and Aino—are all capable of triggering Lunar Reactions, offering a streamlined, all-in-one solution for taking down this icy juggernaut.

 

Radiant Mutant

Radiant Antelope (Electro)	Radiant Bladehorn (Anemo)	Radiant Lunapod (Hydro)	Radiant Moonfly
HP 2287726 ATK 16251 50% RES to Electro, 10% to other elements. Physical RES: 10%	HP 2495701 ATK 13296 50% RES to Anemo, 10% to other elements. Physical RES: 10%	HP 2079751 ATK 18713 50% RES to Hydro, 10% to other elements. Physical RES: 10%	HP 3327601 ATK 19698 70% RES to Pyro and Dendro, 10% to other elements. Physical RES: 10%
Will cause all characters to lose HP based on Max HP, DMG dealt -40%, incoming heal -40%, Crit Rate -100%. When each character heals to Max HP, their debuffs will be removed, and their Crit Rate +15%, DMG dealt +50%.

Regular Attack Patterns:

• Charges briefly, then unleashes a Flying Kick forward.
• Charges briefly, then fires a projected blade slash straight ahead.
• Charges briefly, then executes a swift double kick.

Transformation: Performs a spinning roundhouse kick followed by a rising uppercut, then launches a shockwave at the enemy before transforming (spreading its wings).

Post-Transformation Attack Patterns:

• Dives at the target and strikes with a powerful wing smash.
• Flaps its wings, launching multiple feathers from each side toward the enemy.
• Dives toward the target, dealing area damage centered on impact.
• Fires two homing energy blasts, then releases a wide-range AoE attack around itself.

To effectively counter Radiant Mutants, players should prioritize bringing strong healers capable of rapid and consistent healing to remove the Moonfly’s debuff. Shield providers are essential to mitigate incoming damage and help maintain party survivability. High burst damage dealers and crowd control units can shorten fights and reduce the time spent under debuffs, making healing management easier. Careful timing of healing and shielding is key to surviving and capitalizing on the post-heal buff.

 

Knuckle Duckle

Knuckle Duckle

HP 5615327 ATK 14773 Regular RES: 10% to all elements and physical damage Shied RES: 80% to all elements and physical damage

Will periodically increase all RES and summon 5 Ducks, each consuming 5% Boss HP when defeated. Defeat all Ducks to weaken the Boss and reduce all RES. Ducks have 26% HP, Electro RES 10%, Hydro RES 90%, other RES 150%. Will be automatically defeated after taking Electro-Charged or Lunar Charged DMG 10 times.

Important Drop: Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die (Ascension Item for Flins and Aino)

Knuckle Duckle is a massive, iron-clad avian brawler that resists all forms of damage, becoming especially impervious when shielded. Periodically, it fortifies its defenses and summons five smaller Ducks—each holding a fragment of its strength. Defeating these summons weakens the boss and lowers its resistances. The Ducks are tough against most elements but fall quickly after taking a set number of Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged hits.

Hunters seeking the Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die—an ascension material for Nod-Krai’s own Flins and Aino—will find Knuckle Duckle a necessary trial. Teams built around these characters can trigger Lunar Reactions effortlessly, dispatching the summoned Ducks in seconds and stripping the boss of its defenses far faster than conventional lineups.

 

Shadow of the Wild Hunt

Wilderness Hunter	Wilderness Exile
HP 2162941 ATK 14773 RES: 10% to all elements and physical damage	HP 499140 ATK 7387 RES: 10% to all elements and physical damage
When HP drops to 0, enters Critical State: Will heal to Max HP after 10s. Under Critical State, Max HP will be reduced by 65% of DMG taken. Will be defeated when Max HP drops to 0. Abilities buffed by Ascendant Gleam (Moonsign 2) can directly reduce Max HP by 90% of DMG, regardless of whether it is under Critical State.

The Wilderness Hunter has a relatively simple attack pattern, consisting of three moves usually executed in sequence:

Right-Hand Cleave > Left-Hand Claw Smash > Dual-Axe Spinning Slash

To defect Wilderness Hunter and Exile, the key point is using abilities empowered by Ascendant Gleam (Moonsign 2) to bypass Critical State, directly carving away a far greater portion of their maximum HP and hastening their demise.

To activate Ascendant Gleam, build your party with Nod-Krai characters. Leaked kits indicate specific Nod-Krai characters (Flins, Lauma, Aino, Ineffa) each carry a passive that contributes +1 Moonsign when they are in the party. Having one such character grants Nascent Gleam; having two grants Ascendant Gleam.

 

Cutting Edge All-Purpose Landcruiser

Cutting Edge All-Purpose Storm Landcruiser	Cutting Edge All-Purpose Scout Landcruiser	Cutting Edge Fire Support Ground Effect Landcruiser
HP 1455825 ATK 14773	HP 1663801 ATK 12311	HP 1247850 ATK 14773
RES: 10% to all elements and physical damage

A heavily armed ship that cruises on land and, thanks to certain modifications, can harness the power of kuuvahki to deploy special functions. Attack it a certain number of times with Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged reactions while it's using kuuvahki to stop it in its tracks. Because of their reliance on kuuvahki, you might be able to make use of the properties of kuuvahki to more effectively attack.

 

Oprichniki Series

Oprichniki Fireblade Shock Trooper(Pyro)	Oprichniki Hailstorm Cannoneer(Cryo)	Oprichniki Thunderblitz Druzhina(Electro)
HP 915090 ATK 9849	HP 998280 ATK 10834	HP 831900 ATK 9849
RES: 10% to all elements and -20% to physical damage

A member of the Fatui's elite Oprichniki forces tasked with maintaining the line of battle. They wield powerful, modified weapons that harness the power of kuuvahki. Because of this, you might be able to effectively target them with kuuvahki-based (Lunar-charged) attacks while they're charging up their weapons to unleash powerful attacks...

Attack Patterns

Oprichniki Fireblade Shock Trooper:

• Continuously slashes with its blade, leaving burning flames on the ground that cause ongoing damage.
• Briefly charges its weapon and fires fiery projectiles at enemies.
• Deploys a shield around itself and summons lightning strikes that hit foes after a short delay.

Oprichniki Thunderblitz Druzhina:

• Leaps backward and fires an explosive shell that deals damage and knocks enemies airborne.
• Transforms its weapon into a gatling gun, briefly charges, then unleashes sustained fire for several seconds.
• Alternates shots from each hand before sweeping a 180-degree barrage in front.
• Shoots into the sky, causing bullets to fall onto enemy positions.

Oprichniki Hailstorm Cannoneer:

• Uses its cannon to deliver two slow, heavy strikes against enemies.
• Smashes the cannon into the ground, summoning ice spikes that knock enemies back.
• Opens its cannon to block incoming damage while continuously firing cannonballs at foes.
