A new era dawns in Genshin Impact as Hoyoverse unveils the long-awaited Nod-Krai roster-an eclectic mix of personalities, powers, and regions that promises to reshape the way players build their teams and explore the game’s future.
However, that cannot stifle the curiosity of the community, as players are constantly looking for news and leaks about the new characters in the Nod-Krai region. Hoyoverse has finally answered with a surprise reveal, officially showcasing the upcoming Nod-Krai characters in Genshin Impact 6.0. Here is a quick look at all of the new characters revealed.
All Nod-Krai Characters Revealed in Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact pulls back the curtain on every Nod-Krai character, showcasing a roster packed with unique fighters, healers, and supports from this mysterious region. Standouts include the agile swordmaster Kaelith, who channels icy tempests in battle, and the enigmatic catalyst user Vespera, summoning spectral allies for crowd control. Ranged DPS Thorne rains arrows infused with ancient curses, while tanky claymore wielder Grom shields the team with earthen barriers. HoYoverse rounds out the lineup with versatile options like the hydro polearm duo and pyro archer, giving players tools for any team comp in the upcoming Nod-Krai quests and domains.
We have included brief information about each Nod-Krai character revealed in Genshin Impact’s recent trailer, along with some details we know about them from the in-game lore. Here are the new characters coming to Genshin:
- Nicole Reeyn: She is a mage of the Hexenzirkel codenamed as “N”. Nicole Reeyn is a prophetess, studying Teyvat’s direction and order. She is mute and speaks telepathically.
- Aino: She is Ineffa’s designer or caretaker. She has potentially sent Ineffa to Natlan to bring the Traveler into Nod-Krai.
- Varka: He is the Grand Master and Knight of Boreus of the Knights of Favonius. He is known to be the strongest in Mondstadt.
- Jahoda: A young lady who is seen interacting with Durin.
- Durin: The new human form of Durin that was teased back at Genshin Impact 5.6.
- Sandrone: The seventh-ranked Fatui Harbinger, codenamed as Marionette. Sandrone is said to be always engrossed in her research on Automatons.
- Lauma: Emissary and scion of Hyperborea. She is expected to be one of the Frostmoon Scions.
- Nefer: She is mentioned as the storyteller in the Nod-Krai trailer.
- Keryll Chudomirovic Flins: He is likely one of the Lightkeepers of Nod-Krai.
- “Moon Maiden” Columbina: The third-ranked Fatui Harbinger codenamed as Damselette. However, she is mentioned as the Moon Maiden in Nod-Krai and may have rebelled against the Tsaritsa.
- Alice: The founder of Hexenzirkel and codenamed as “A”. She is also the mother of Klee and a friend of Rhinedottir.

Based on recent leaks, all of these characters are expected to be playable in Genshin Impact. But, I suggest taking the leak with a grain of salt, as that may not be the case. Il Capitano did not end up being playable during the Natlan arc, even though he was teased before. Other than that, we also see Wanderer appear in the trailer. Similarly, we can also expect Albedo to make an appearance in Nod-Krai, as Durin is already present there.
What is Varka’s element and weapon type
Varka is an Anemo character who wields a claymore as his weapon type.
What is Varka’s best weapon
Varka’s signature weapon, Ballad of the Mighty Wolf, stands out as his best option. This 5-star claymore provides high base ATK, 33% CRIT Rate, and a stacking DMG bonus from normal attacks, plus attack speed to enhance his dual-wield Anemo DPS kit.
Top Alternatives
For players without the signature, strong substitutes include these claymores, prioritized by accessibility and synergy with his ATK-scaling and CRIT needs.
| Weapon | Rarity | Key Stats/Benefits | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolf’s Gravestone | 5★ | Massive ATK boost, team ATK buff | General DPS, standard banner |
| Serpent Spine | 4★ | CRIT Rate, raw DMG (BP) | Battle Pass users |
| Mavuika’s Signature | 5★ | CRIT DMG, ATK% | Pyro swirl teams |
| Tidal Shadow | 4★ | ATK from skills | F2P skill-focused builds |
| Earthshaker | 4★ | Skill DMG, ATK% (Natlan craftable) | Free-to-play Pyro teams |
These rankings draw from recent kit analyses post his version 6.x release, where his Gale Rush mode benefits most from CRIT and ATK claymores.
