Genshin Impact 6.x Banners: Flins, Lauma, Durin

Greetings, Travelers!

If you know what the characters that are upcoming in the banners are, you can plan. Then you can pull for the characters you want and save primogems when the banners are not right. With the recent Ineffa update, you can be sure that HoYoverse has something big in store for us. So, let’s follow LDShop to get to know the possible banner runs and reruns in Genshin Impact versions 6.0 and More. Let’s get started!

*Note: Information comes from various sources and leaks things may change before her official release, so take all of this with a grain of salt. And don't forget to follow LDShop for updates and more leaks!

 

Version 6.0

For Genshin Impact version 6.0, we can only guess what might happen and the characters coming in the banners. Again, basing the future on the past track record, after a Summer patch, we get the major start of a new region. Now, if you are thinking, won’t there be a version 5.9? Till now, with the previous versions, there has not been a 9th patch of a particular version. HoYoverse does take the seven ate nine thing seriously, it seems. A new region means new and playable characters.

Version 6.0 Realease Date

If the game avoids any delays over the course of 2025, then it’s possible to predict that Version 6.0 will be released on September 10. Patches for the game are usually released on Wednesdays every six weeks and, considering the title has been on a steady release pace, it seems unlikely this schedule will be affected any time soon.

Version 6.0

Phase 1

Name: Flins
Rarity: ★★★★★
Element	Positioning	Gender	Faction
Electro	DPS	Male	Lightkeepers

A new 5★ Electro male character from Nod-Krai is expected to be released, likely serving as an Electro DPS who specializes in Electro-Charged reactions. The camp he belongs to is "LightKeepers".

Phase 2

Name: Lauma
Rarity: ★★★★★
Element	Positioning	Gender	Faction
Dendro	DPS	Female	Frostmoon Scions

A 5★Dendro female character from Nod-Krai, titled the Frostmoon Scion: Faerie Priestess, is expected to be a support or Dendro DPS specializing in Crystallize reactions. Lauma is featured in a Nod Krai teaser and has the ability to transform into an animal.

Rerun pre-leak

Furthermore, according to highly credible sources, Yelan and Zhongli will receive a double rerun in Version 6.0. Yelan serves as a versatile off-field Hydro DPS and team-wide DMG buffer, while Zhongli provides unrivaled shield strength and universal RES shred for survivability. Both are meta-defining supports adaptable to any team composition — highly recommended!

 

Version 6.1

Phase 1 Durin

Name: Durin
Rarity: ★★★★★
Country	Element	Position	Model Type
Mondstadt	Pyro	Support	Young Boy

A 5★ Pyro male character from Mondstadt, Durin, is speculated to be a Vaporize-focused Pyro DPS. He is possibly related to Mondstadt’s dragon legend. This character is pretty strong on her own—she can heal herself and also boost her teammates’ damage. She performed really well during testing.

Rerun pre-leak

Nahida, the Dendro Archon, is also scheduled for a rerun in Version 6.1. As the core enabler of Dendro reaction teams and teamwide Elemental Mastery buffs, her passive talent "Compassion Illuminated" grants CRIT Rate and Dendro DMG bonuses based on the party's highest EM. Highly recommended! For optimal performance, consider upgrading to C2 (enhances Burning/Bloom CRIT DMG) and equipping her signature weapon "A Thousand Floating Dreams" (massively boosts EM and teamwide buffs).

Additionally, Version 6.1 will introduce the "Chronicled Wish: Sumeru's Path" (community-known as "Sumeru Mixed Banner"). This special wish pool will:

Feature a curated lineup of Sumeru 5★ characters alongside legacy Mondstadt/Liyue units (e.g. Cyno, Klee, Albedo)

Retain your existing pity counter from previous limited banners

Implement a "Path Point Inheritance" system — if you fail to obtain the chosen character, progress carries over to future chronicled wishes.
This is a strategic opportunity to secure elusive characters or constellations!

Version 6.2

Nefer is a Bloom-focused Dendro Main DPS who uses a bow. She is also a new character from Nod Krai and was shown in the PV to be talking to Varka.

Version 6.3

Phase 1 Columbina (Main promotion)

Name: Columbina
Rarity	Element	Faction
★★★★★	Hydro	Eleven Fatui Harbingers

This girl is a Hydro polearm user who can consistently apply Hydro to enemies from off-field. She plays a key role in "Moon Reaction" teams (such as Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Freeze, which rely on Hydro + Dendro or Hydro + Cryo reactions), either as a core damage dealer or support. One of her main abilities is called "Song of the Hollow Moon", which is an essential part of her kit.

We currently know that Columbina will be available in version 6.3. She makes her first appearance during Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo alongside her fellow Harbingers. She is the third of the Fatui Harbingers and one of the main characters featured in the major version update. Although there is not much information about her at present, Colombiya has great potential to become a character with a unique style and novel mechanisms. 

Phase 2 

A female character was suddenly introduced, but specific details are unknown.

Version 6.4

A female character was suddenly introduced, but specific details are unknown.

Version 6.5

Name: Varka
Rarity: ★★★★★
Element	Positioning	Model Type	Faction
Anemo	DPS	Adult Male	Church of Favonius

This character currently focuses mainly on dealing pure Anemo (wind) damage, without relying on elemental reactions.

As a highly anticipated character, Varka may be released in Version 6.5.Varka is the current Grand Master and Knight of Boreas of the Knights of Favonius. Half a year ago, he departed on an expedition with eighty percent of the Knights of Favonius' manpower, leaving Jean as the Acting Grand Master in his absence.

Version 6.6

Name: Nicole
Rarity: ★★★★★
Element	Positioning	Faction
Ice	Support	Hexenzirkel

She is a member of the Hexenzirkel, one of the legendary Eight Witches in Genshin Impact.

Version 6.7

Name: Alice
Rarity: ★★★★★
Element	Positioning	Faction
Pyro	DPS	Hexenzirkel

Alice is a Pyro main DPS who primarily deals heavy damage by triggering the Melt reaction.

Other Characters From Nod-Krai

Sandrone and Columbina are both Harbingers of the Fatui. Sandrone, known by her code name "Marionette," is often seen accompanied by a gigantic puppet, emphasizing her unique identity among the Harbingers.

Jahoda is a character that will be released in Nod Krai.

Aino is the creator of Ineffa which appears to be a genius from Nod Krai.

These characters have not been officially confirmed for the upcoming version's banner, but it’s certain that they will gradually be released in future banners. Let’s look forward to their arrival together!

New Regions—Nod-Krai

The most recent leaks instead suggest that the Nod-Krai sub-region will be the entire focus of the version 6.0 updates.

Nod-Krai is a new, autonomous sub-region in Genshin Impact, located in the southern part of Snezhnaya. It's known for its harsh, snowy environment and serves as a melting pot for diverse factions and individuals from across Teyvat. Nod-Krai is also characterized by an ancient power predating the elemental Visions, attracting the attention of powerful groups like the Fatui.

A potential benefit of making players begin their journey through Snezhnaya in the Nod-Krai subregion is that this could provide the room to expand the narrative of the Fatui Harbingers. Aside from the few Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact whom players have gotten to meet firsthand so far, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding this central antagonist group, and allowing players to freely roam into the region that’s under the control of the Fatui Harbingers could undermine their perceived authority and strength. So, by spending time in the outskirts of the Snezhnaya region in Nod-Krai, players could potentially recruit allies and learn more about the Fatui Harbingers, preparing before inevitably encountering any more of these dangerous characters.

 

Conclusion

In short, with the upcoming updates and patches, there will be many new characters and features. What might come in version 6.0 is still up in the sky.

An estimated 17 characters are expected to be released over the course of a year. The 11 mentioned above likely cover the majority of characters coming in the upcoming 6.X versions. With only a few hidden characters left unannounced, this essentially forms the full banner roadmap for the next year. No more impulse pulls — time to start hoarding Primogems!

You will need to save up primogems, or you will have to do a Genshin Impact top up to pull the characters. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.
