Genshin Impact Luna II Banner Leaks New Rerun Characters Nefer Arlecchino Furina Zhongli

A new wave of Genshin Impact leaks has revealed the lineup for the anticipated Luna II banners, teasing a mix of long-awaited reruns and fresh faces set to shake up team compositions across Teyvat.

Genshin Impact Luna II Release Date

Genshin Impact’s Luna II update is expected to arrive with the Version 5.1 patch, which is projected for late March or early April 2026 based on HoYoverse’s usual six-week update cycle. HoYoverse has not officially confirmed the exact release date yet, but current leaks align Luna II’s first phase banners with the launch week of 5.1 on both global and regional servers. Players should keep an eye on the official Genshin Impact social channels and the Special Program livestream for final timing, as beta schedule shifts or unexpected delays can still move the banner rollout by a few days.

Genshin Impact Luna II will be released on October 22, 2025, and will end on December 1, 2025. The Luna II update will add the new Miliastra Wonderland UGC mode to the game, alongside a new character and multiple new events. However, the new update won’t feature a map extension.

Genshin Impact Luna II Banner Overview

The Luna II banner introduces a mix of fresh and returning faces, offering players another chance to expand their rosters with both new additions and popular reruns. Early leaks suggest a new five-star character tied to Fontaine’s lore, accompanied by strong support and sub-DPS options in the four-star lineup. With multiple fan-favorite reruns anticipated, this banner could appeal to both collectors and players seeking strong team synergy for upcoming Spiral Abyss rotations.

Genshin Impact Luna II banners will only feature one new playable character. The only new character is going to be Nefer, the boss of the Curatorium of Secrets. Nefer is a 5-star Dendro character with the Catalyst weapon type.

Nefer is going to be the next big Lunar Bloom DPS, so you should start saving your Primogems for her. Running low on Primogems? Check our Genshin Impact codes list and get yourself some freebies.

Nefer kit and gameplay details

Nefer is a 5-star Dendro Catalyst character from Genshin Impact’s Nod-Krai region, introduced in version 6.1 Luna II as a main DPS specializing in the unique Lunar-Bloom reaction.​

Normal Attack: Striking Serpent

Nefer performs up to four rapid kicks dealing Dendro damage. Her Charged Attack enters the Slither state, consuming stamina for a 2.5-second forward dash that ends with AoE Dendro damage; it integrates seamlessly with her Skill state for mobility.​

Elemental Skill: Senet Strategy – Dance of a Thousand Nights

Nefer dashes forward, dealing AoE Dendro damage and entering Shadow Dance state if she has Verdant Dew stacks. In this state, her Charged Attacks transform into Phantasm Performance, consuming Verdant Dew and Shadow Dance to unleash enhanced Lunar-Bloom damage; the state lasts until three performances or expiration.​

Elemental Burst and Passives

Her Burst amplifies Lunar-Bloom output through Moonsign stacks from team-triggered reactions, converting Dendro Cores into special resources like Seeds of Deceit for Nod-Krai synergy. Passives boost EM and reaction damage, with talents enabling Lunar-Bloom procs via allies like Lauma.​

Gameplay Rotation

Rotate by entering Shadow Dance via Skill, weaving Phantasm Charged Attacks with team Hydro/Dendro appliers to generate and consume cores for Moonsign stacks. Optimal teams include Lauma, Columbina, Kokomi, or Aino for Lunar-Bloom triggers and Nod-Krai buffs. Prioritize CRIT DMG/EM stats on Reliquary of Truth.​

Best weapons for Nefer at C0 and C6

Nefer, Genshin Impact’s 5-star Dendro Catalyst DPS from version 6.1 Luna II, benefits from weapons prioritizing CRIT stats, Elemental Mastery (EM), and Lunar-Bloom synergy at both C0 and C6.​

Top Weapons at C0

Reliquary of Truth (signature) leads with 88.2% CRIT DMG, 8% CRIT Rate, and 80 EM plus Lunar-Bloom buffs, used by over 56% of players for optimal rotations. Blackmarrow Lantern (15% usage) excels via 221 EM and 48% Bloom/12% Lunar-Bloom DMG boosts, ideal for F2P. Dawning Frost (4-star, 12% usage) provides 55% CRIT DMG and conditional EM from Charged Attacks/Skills, nearly matching 5-stars in Lunar teams.​

Top Weapons at C6

Signature Reliquary of Truth remains BiS, amplified by C6’s personal damage and field time boosts, outpacing alternatives by 15-20% in high-investment setups. Blackmarrow Lantern gains edge for smoother team DPR with C6 Nefer’s enhanced Lunar-Bloom output, especially alongside Lauma or Columbina. Dawning Frost and Tome of the Eternal Flow stay strong for Charged Attack focus, with C6 enabling higher Moonsign stacks.​
