Exciting news has emerged from trusted sources within the Genshin Impact community regarding the highly anticipated Version 6.0 update. Players worldwide are eagerly awaiting the introduction of three new playable characters - Aino, Flins, and Lauma - who will make their debut in the brand new Nod-Krai region. The official reveal of Nod-Krai on July 22 has given travelers a clearer picture of what awaits them in this mysterious new territory of Teyvat.

Unlike previous Archon Quests that typically spanned multiple versions, the Song of the Welkin Moon storyline is set to unfold over an entire year, culminating in a dramatic finale that will bring all narrative threads together for the Traveler's ultimate showdown with the Cryo Archon, the Tsaritsa.

The recently released Nod-Krai trailer showcased more than half of the region's new characters, with Flins and Varka quickly becoming fan favorites based on social media reactions. While Varka benefits from years of anticipation as the absent Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Flins emerges as a fresh face - a humble Lightkeeper of Nod-Krai whose story is just beginning to unfold.

Reliable leakers including hxg_diluc and Seele Leaks have confirmed that Flins will join Aino and Lauma as the three new characters arriving in Version 6.0. Flins will be a 5-Star Electro Polearm user appearing in the first half of the update, while Lauma will headline the second half as a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst wielder. Aino, a 4-Star Hydro Claymore character, will be available to all players for free, serving as an essential companion for solving the unique Lunar puzzles scattered throughout Nod-Krai.

Genshin Impact: Version 6.0 Characters

Flins – 5-Star Electro Polearm

Aino – 4-Star Hydro Claymore

Lauma – 5-Star Dendro Catalyst

The specific 5-Star characters that will accompany Lauma and Flins on their respective Event Banners remain unknown, but early analysis suggests Flins will have particularly strong synergy with Ineffa. Players interested in building a team around Flins may want to consider saving Primogems during Version 5.8 and carefully evaluating whether to invest in Ineffa now or wait to see how Flins' optimal team compositions develop throughout the Nod-Krai storyline.

Meanwhile, Lauma appears designed to provide off-field Dendro support for Bloom reactions, potentially opening up new team possibilities for Hydro characters like Nilou. Rumors suggest another Dendro character named Nefer may arrive in Version 6.4 as a hypercarry, though how this will affect the overall Dendro meta remains to be seen.

The Version 6.0 beta is scheduled to begin on July 30, giving players their first hands-on experience with the new characters and region. The full update will officially launch on September 10, marking the beginning of Genshin Impact's next major chapter in the expansive world of Teyvat.
