A trustworthy insider within the Genshin Impact community has leaked exciting information about Version 6.1, which will introduce Nefer as a revolutionary 5-Star Dendro Catalyst character. Her unique abilities are expected to completely transform how Dendro Cores function in combat. Although the Nod-Krai era hasn't fully commenced yet, Genshin Impact is gradually establishing the foundation for Lunar Reactions - the primary combat system of the upcoming region. The Lunar-Charged mechanic debuted with Ineffa in Version 5.8, and now Version 6.0 will introduce Lunar-Bloom through the arrival of Lauma.

As a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst wielder, Lauma serves as a versatile support character specializing in two distinct roles: enhancing Lunar-Bloom for Nod-Krai team compositions or boosting Bloom reactions for traditional Dendro teams. This dual functionality makes her an exceptionally valuable support unit, particularly due to her strong synergy with hypercarry characters like Nilou, Neuvillette, and the highly anticipated Nefer.

According to Uncle Kokomi, a reliable source who has gained considerable credibility throughout 2025, Nefer will arrive as a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst character focused primarily on the Lunar-Bloom reaction. While she shares both element and weapon type with Lauma, Nefer distinguishes herself as a dedicated Lunar-Bloom hypercarry. This creates obvious synergy between the two characters - either Lauma will partner with Nefer to amplify her Lunar-Bloom damage, or she'll continue supporting existing hypercarries as the sole Nod-Krai representative.

However, one controversial aspect of Nefer's presumed ability kit deserves player attention. Nefer will reportedly prevent the creation of standard Dendro Cores, effectively making her incompatible with existing Bloom, Burgeon, and Hyperbloom team compositions. Similar to Lauma's mechanics, Nefer will collect Verdant Dews by triggering Bloom reactions, then expend them through her Elemental Skill. This appears to be the fundamental mechanic distinguishing Lunar-Bloom from original Bloom, transforming it from an Area-of-Effect reaction into a Single Target focused ability.

Assuming the Nod-Krai character roadmap proves accurate, Nefer will be the exclusive debut character for Version 6.1. Players will have the opportunity to accumulate substantial Primogems during Version 6.0, and those who skip the Sumeru Chronicled Banner should have sufficient Intertwined Wishes to guarantee Nefer's acquisition. Barring unexpected developments, Nefer and Lauma will likely remain the only Dendro characters within the Nod-Krai roster. If this new playstyle appeals to fans, they should consider obtaining both 5-Star characters before Columbina's anticipated arrival, as she's speculated to be a Hydro support specifically designed for Nod-Krai teams.
