The highly anticipated Genshin Impact Version 6.0 is set to introduce Lauma, a remarkable 5-Star Dendro Catalyst wielder, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Teyvat. As Version 5.8 concludes the Natlan storyline, HoYoverse has shifted focus to the upcoming region, with beta testing already in progress and character teasers on the horizon. Similar to Version 5.0's debut, this update will showcase three fresh faces: Lauma, Aino, and Flins.

Lauma distinguishes herself not only as the tallest female character in Genshin Impact but also through her groundbreaking Elemental Reaction called Lunar-Bloom. This unique mechanic differs from standard Bloom reactions, exclusively activated by Lauma's Elemental Skill. Functioning similarly to Navia's mechanics but with a Dendro twist, Lauma gains stacks with each Bloom reaction triggered by her team. These stacks significantly amplify her Elemental Skill's damage output, creating exciting new team composition possibilities.

Character Profile: Lauma

• Rarity: 5-Star
• Element: Dendro
• Gender: Female
• Weapon: Catalyst
• Constellation: Cerva Nivea

Despite appearing in Version 6.0 beta tests and recent teasers, Lauma's official marketing revealed a surprising detail: she'll headline the update's first banner phase rather than the second. As the inaugural Version 6.0 character, she's expected to share the spotlight with Aino, becoming playable on September 10, 2025. Gameplay analysts predict she'll emerge as a formidable support unit, potentially revitalizing older 5-Star characters like Nilou through her innovative mechanics.

Lauma's lore positions her as a Frostmoon Scion, descendant of Hyperborea - the lost civilization bordering Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya. Her faction actively resists Fatui influence in Nod-Krai, even leading rebellions against the Tsaritsa's schemes. With the Frostmoon Scions' deep ties to the Moon Goddess, they're poised to play a pivotal role in the unfolding Song of the Welkin Moon narrative.

Prospective players should capitalize on Version 5.8's Primogem bonuses to prepare for Lauma's arrival. Those who successfully obtain her should watch for Nefer, an upcoming Dendro character from Nod-Krai who may synergize powerfully with Lauma. While Nefer's release remains distant, Lauma will be available throughout September 2025, giving travelers ample time to strategize their wish allocations.
