The recently concluded Genshin Impact 6.1 Version Luna II livestream hints at significant changes coming with October 22nd update. While the next update only features Nefer, the other three remastered five-star characters are extremely useful.

Furthermore, Genshin Impact's story is about to reach a turning point. More importantly, Miliastra Wonderland mode will allow players to create their own content using in-game assets, and even play online! Let's take a look at the details of Genshin Impact 6.1 Version Luna II.

Gacha Recommendations

Nefer is a Dendro-Elemental, Catalyst Weapon character, or in other words, a Lunar Bloom on-field DPS, similar to Lauma's mechanics.

Her basic attack is a standard Dendro-elemental Catalyst attack, but it's not crucial to her damage cycle.

Elemental Skill

Her Elemental Skill dashes and deals Dendro elemental AOE damage, then enters Shadow Dance, which increases interrupt resistance and replaces her normal heavy attack with a Fantasm Performance, which doesn't consume Stamina. (Can be used twice.)

When using a heavy attack during Shadow Dance, two Shades are created, which together deal Luna Bloom damage. This damage is a conversion reaction that ignores Defense, similar to Luna Charged.

Elemental Burst

Nefer deals Dendro elemental AoE damage and absorbs all Veils of Falsehood on the field to further increase the burst damage. Veils of Falsehood comes from her passive.

Passive

If there is another Nod-Krai character on the team, Nefer converts Dendro cores on the field into Seeds of Deceit after using E. However, Never can absorb them to gain stacks of Veils of Falsehood (up to 3 stacks), which increases ultimate damage.

When using a heavy attack while in Shadow Dance, it automatically generates a Bloom, ensuring the triggering of the special heavy attack. It also converts Bloom reaction into a Luna Bloom, increasing its damage based on Elemental Mastery.

This skill means that she cannot be integrated into a team with Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon. She converts the reaction damage originally triggered by other characters on the team into a damage bonus for herself.

Her best teammate is Lauma, as Lauma directly increases Luna Bloom's damage and also generates Verdant Dew. Furthermore, Lauma provides critical strike chance and critical strike damage bonuses when paired with another Nod-Krai character.

Nefer's overall strength is similar to Flins'. If you have Lauma, it's highly recommended that you save your Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals for this character.

Other Banner Characters

Furina

Furina is one of the most versatile and powerful supports, integrating into countless teams, significantly increasing overall damage, and generally providing the greatest long-term improvement to your account.

Arlecchino

A powerful main carry, but has been surpassed by Pyro Archon. Main carry characters tend to be replaced quickly, and their value retention isn't as good as top-tier supports.

Zhongli

Zhongli provides an unparalleled sense of comfort and can significantly reduce the game's difficulty for beginners. However, in the extreme late-game meta, its functionality is relatively limited, making it less valuable than other characters.

Version 6.1 Luna II Miliastra Wonderland

Miliastra Wonderland is a user-generated content (UGC) creative sandbox mode that introduces a user-generated content system, allowing players to create maps, share them, and play them online in real time. Think of it as a Roblox or Fortnite map editor for Genshin Impact.

After completing Archon's Prologue, accessed through the menu or shortcut, you'll initially be able to use a custom character, a Manekin, which you can customize in terms of gender and appearance, as well as wear various costumes.

Manekin level is linked to game progression in Wonderland, requiring no resources to upgrade. Manekins wearing custom costumes can be used in the open worldand teamed up with Genshin Impact characters. You can also switch between alternate costumes when using skills or bursts.

You can obtain costumes through the following methods:

• Awakening Chronicle: Miliastra Wonderland's exclusive Battle Pass. This promotion is cross-platform with the game's Gnostic Hymn. Unlocking one will reduce the fee of the other.
• Crafting: Outfit blueprints are drawn from Standard Ode wish pool.
• Featured Outfit Banner: The first limited pool features Phantom Night Candelight theme. Every 10 draws guarantee a 4-star outfit.
• In-game Shop: Unlock outfits directly using Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals and gift them to friends.
• Events and Quests: Earn them for free by participating in-game events.

Miliastra Wonderland Game Mode

• Join community-created games of all types (e.g., FPS, adventure, party games, etc.).
• Create private rooms for single-player play.
• Miliastra Wonderland offers powerful visual creation tools, no coding knowledge required.
• Creators can earn revenue from their games.

New Bosses And Events

In addition to the highlights above, a new wild boss, Frostnight Herra, will be added to Nod-Krai region. Several smaller activities will also be available in Luna II:

• Ruins Exploration: Fieldwise Center
• Saurian Sojourn
• Dance Dance Dynamic Disco
• Overflowing Abundance

How much fun Genshin Impact Version 6.1 Luna II will have will largely depend on your creativity, so be prepared for the next update.

Nefer, as the main damage character, has been long awaited by many players. Manekin costumes in Miliastra Wonderland are also incredibly popular. Genesis Crystals are used extensively in Genshin Impact Version 6.1. If you're looking to replenish your team in Version 6.1, there are secure, reliable, and fast Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals on sale at IGGM.com, so don't let any pity left in Version 6.1 Luna II.

As you know, with each new update, Genshin Impact splits the available characters into two banners. This not only prolongs the freshness of the game but also increases your chances of obtaining the desired characters through a distributed approach.

The currently ongoing Genshin Impact version is Version 6.0, which launched on September 9th, Eastern Time. Since this version marks a comprehensive overhaul of the game, it is also known as Version Luna I.

Phase 1 of this version is expected to end on October 1st, with Phase 2 opening immediately thereafter and running until October 22nd. In addition to the accompanying new events, you'll begin obtaining new characters through Phase 2 banner.

With this in mind, we'll introduce the characters that will appear in Phase 2 banner, as well as other key Phase 2 information.

Phase 2 New Character Banner

The banner is titled The Lone Light Knocks at Night and features the new five-star character Flins and the new four-star character Aino, exclusive to Luna I.

In terms of appearance, Flins perfectly fits the mold of most Genshin Impact players' male character preferences: handsome yet silent, he seems to harbor many secrets. More importantly, he's a powerful electro polearm user, providing valuable DPS support to your team.

In contrast, Aino, a hydro claymore user, is a quirky, pink-haired, petite girl. As the founder of Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop, she specializes in mechanical crafts and considers them her family.

In addition to the two characters listed above, any standard character can be drawn from this banner. The estimated probabilities of character/weapon draws of different rarities are as follows:

Five-Star:

• Character and Weapon: 0.6%
• Guaranteed after 90 total draws

Four-Star:

• Character: Roughly 3.3%
• Weapon: 1.77%
• Guaranteed after 10 total draws

Three-Star:

• Weapon: 94.3%

Should You Invest In This Banner?

Undoubtedly, the most valuable character on this banner is the new five-star character Flins. He deals Lunar-Charged damage, which, as part of Electro-Charged reaction, can potentially crit, making him a strong DPS player.

If you can obtain both him and Aino, the latter can trigger the former's Lunar-Charged reactions more frequently, enhancing his Moon Sign and making it even more powerful.

The tricky part is that the drop rate for new five-star characters is always low, and to unleash their full potential, you must gather enough upgrade and Ascension materials.

We recommend investing in this banner only when you have sufficient farming time and Primogems available; impulsively consuming all your Primogems isn't a good idea.

Returning Banner: Discerner Of Enigmas

Genshin Impact typically releases a returning banner alongside a new character banner. This banner primarily features popular characters from previous versions, giving you a chance to reclaim them with a higher drop rate.

The returning banner for Phase 2 of Version 6.0 is called Discerner of Enigmas. The returning five-star character is Yelan, while the four-star characters with increased drop rates are Aino, Sucrose, and Dori. The estimated drop rates for each item in this banner are as follows:

Five-Star:

• Character and Weapon: 0.6%
• Guaranteed after 90 total pulls

Four-Star:

• Character: Roughly 3.3%
• Weapon: 1.77%
• Guaranteed after 10 total pulls

Three-Star:

• Weapon: 94.3%

What New Gameplay Will Luna I Phase 2 Bring?

In addition to new characters, Phase 2 allows you to continue exploring the main storyline, play new mini-games, and unlock new stages for events already featured in Phase 1.

Dodoco's Bomb - Nanza

This mini-game requires you to control Dodoco and overcome various challenges by throwing different types of bombs to earn rewards.

To play this game in version 6.0, you must first complete Prologue Act 3: Archon Quest, Song of the Dragon, and Freedom and reach at least Adventure Rank 20 to qualify.

Next, head to the garden south of Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt City. Interact with Valerina, then select a stage on the table in front of her and start a match.

Each round requires a team of four. You can choose your favorite color Dodoco and team up with your teammates to defeat Spikey Fish using Jumpy Dumpties. The types of Spikey Fish you might encounter include:

• Ordinary Spikey Fish
• Armored Spikey Fish
• Bomb Spikey Fish

In the first stage of the game, defeating Spikey Fish grants you buff to help your Dodoco defeat the boss in the second stage. These buffs are:

• Lil' Bandage
• Invincibility Time
• Shoom-Shoom Shoes
• Boom-Boom Bandoliers
• Crash-Clang Canisters
• Hollow Charge

As you win more, you'll earn more game points, but there's a daily cap. However, from September 29th to October 5th, the cap will increase every other day, ultimately reaching 4,800.

Lightgleaner's Journey

This is an in-game photography event that requires you to explore and tour the new Nod-Krai zone during Phase 2, then use the in-game camera to photograph specific locations or objects to complete tasks.

The event consists of multiple tasks, one unlocked each day, making it incredibly easy to complete. What's more, completing all of these simple tasks will earn you at least 420 Primogems, in addition to some small prizes!

So if you're short on Primogems to draw new characters, Lightgleaner's Journey is a must-do. Since the event is located in Nod-Krai, we recommend taking photos while completing the main quests within that zone to improve your gameplay efficiency.

This concludes our introduction to the character banners for Genshin Impact version 6.0, Phase 2. We've also included some bonus gameplay tips for the new event, which we hope will be helpful!

If you're desperate to obtain Flins or Yelan but can't accumulate enough Primogems through gameplay, you can buy Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals from IGGM, and convert them into Primogems!

This not only helps you quickly obtain your desired character within a limited timeframe, but also saves your existing Primogems for future use - a truly cost-effective deal!
