Genshin Impact’s Version 6.0 is now officially on the schedule! The official splash art for the new characters — Rauma, Aino, and Felins — has been released. For Travelers planning to pull for them, it’s a good idea to start saving Primogems now.
The 6.0 preview livestream will air on August 29th at 8:00 PM, and will include the fan-favorite 300 Primogem redemption codes. Let’s take a look at what’s coming in the banners and more!
Banner Info
According to the latest leaks, the 6.0 banners will include new characters, as well as reruns for Yelan and Nahida.
In Version 6.1, two more new characters will be introduced:
Nefer (5-star, Dendro, adult female), a teammate of Rauma in the Moonlight Bloom team comp.
Yakoda (new 4-star character).
Durin Jr., who was originally expected sooner, has been postponed to 6.2. He is a 5-star Pyro support character designed to operate off-field, and his strength is reportedly top-tier — comparable to a “Great Xiangling.”
In Version 6.3, the Lantern Rite event will feature Columbia, a young girl character, joining the pool, alongside another new 5-star female character from Liyue.
New UGC Gameplay Mode
Earlier leaks regarding Genshin’s UGC (User Generated Content) system have now been officially confirmed, and actual gameplay footage has been released. Many Travelers have probably already seen it.
In short, players will be able to:
Explore new maps
Take photos
Use custom avatars
And enjoy character outfit changes
The female protagonist has a distinctive look: purple twin tails, a black mini skirt, and ripped thigh-high stockings, giving off a stylish and cool vibe — somewhat reminiscent of Keqing. The male protagonist looks pretty good too.
This new mode also includes a new outfit-changing system, a fresh gacha banner, and more — definitely something worth looking forward to.
About Rauma – New 5-Star from 6.0
Rauma, the upcoming 5-star character from the 6.0 banner, already looks strong even at C0 (no constellations). Her early-game recommended teammates include Nahida and Nilou, both of whom find a perfect synergy with her in the Nordkale region meta.
Her synergy partner Nefer is also expected to debut in Version 6.1.
One standout feature of Rauma is that she starts with 200 Elemental Mastery at Level 1 — essentially the first character in Genshin history with a built-in stat bonus. That’s the equivalent of getting:
One full main stat from an artifact, and
Half a sub-stat roll,
right from the start.
So Travelers — are you hyped yet?
