Genshin Impact 6.1~6.x Banners: NEW Character Durin

Greetings, Travelers!

With the recent Ineffa update and 6.0 banner info leaks, 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 6.1 - 6.7. 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!

 

The Next Version After 6.7 is 7.0

Based on the timeline projection, the next Summer Event should arrive in Version 6.7. Given that summer events typically occur near the end of a version and serve to foreshadow, generate hype, and drop clues for the upcoming nation, it's highly unlikely that Version 6.8 will exist—Snezhnaya will likely follow directly after 6.7.

6.1	Durin

Version 6.1

Phase 1 Durin

Name: Durin
Rarity: ★★★★★
Country	Element	Position
Mondstadt	Pyro	Support

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 his own—he can heal himself and also boost his teammates’ damage. He performed really well during testing.

 

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, Columbina has great potential to become a character with a unique style and novel mechanisms.

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	Faction
Anemo	DPS	Church of Favonius

This character currently focuses mainly on dealing pure Anemo 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.

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 6.1 is still up in the sky.

An estimated 15 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.
