The highly anticipated Genshin Impact Version 6.0 is set to introduce Flins, a powerful 5-Star Electro Polearm character who promises to shake up the game's meta. As the first male 5-Star character since Kinich in Version 5.0, Flins represents HoYoverse's response to player feedback about gender diversity in the Natlan storyline.

Flins stands out as an Electro hypercarry whose combat effectiveness revolves around his Normal Attacks. This unique playstyle creates excellent synergy with support characters like Yelan, offering players new team composition possibilities. His introduction coincides with the debut of the mysterious new region Nod-Krai, which brings fresh lore and environmental challenges to explore.

Character Overview: Flins

• Rarity: 5-Star
• Element: Electro
• Weapon Type: Polearm
• Constellation: Laterna Vigilis
• Gender: Male

From a narrative perspective, Flins serves as a ratnik (warrior) of Nod-Krai and member of the Lightkeepers - an ancient order protecting the region from supernatural threats. While eloquent and refined in manner, he maintains an air of mystery regarding his personal history. His delayed marketing release suggests he'll appear in the second half of Version 6.0's character banners.

The Version 6.0 event banners will feature an intriguing mix of characters including Lauma, Nahida, Flins, and Yelan. While team composition options exist with various characters, Flins demonstrates particularly strong synergy with Ineffa. Budget-conscious players might consider pairing him with Aino, though she's expected to run in the first half of the version update.

With Nod-Krai's grand opening scheduled for September 10, 2025, players can anticipate Flins' debut banner around early October. This timeline provides ample opportunity to accumulate Primogems throughout Versions 5.8 and 6.0. The update also introduces new Lunar Reactions, with Flins specializing in Lunar-Charged mechanics that don't strictly require Ineffa for optimal performance.
