HoYoVerse aired the 6.2 Genshin Impact Luna III Special Program and, in addition to showing the new five-star Durin and four-star Jahoda, the presentation confirmed buffs for older characters who are classified as Hexerei units. This means that Albedo, Durin, Fischl, Klee, Mona, Razor, Sucrose, and Venti will gain extra abilities via the Hexerei: Secret Rite system if players take the right steps. There are also new story and event updates in the coming patch.
To take advantage of Hexerei: Secret Rite, someone first needs to go through the Witch’s Homework tasks with characters after the Genshin Impact Luna III update. There will be missions like these for Albedo, Durin, Fischl, Klee, Mona, Razor, Sucrose, and Venti. Once completed, that person gets the Hexerei member designation. It then also means if you make a team that includes two or more of them, their additional abilities and effects will automatically kick in. Based on the Special Program, it seems like these can come up during Elemental Skills or Bursts, such as Klee’s Normal Attack sequence not resetting during a Burst.
As for the new characters, we know a lot more about their movesets after the showcase. Durin is the five-star this time. He’s a Pyro type unit, and he’ll use a sword to attack. His signature weapon is the five-star Athame Artis. Jahoda is a four-star Anemo archer and healer, and her weapon is called The Daybreak Chronicles.
The new storyline quest and event quest came up too. During the Archon Quest, we’ll see Dameselette prepare to head back to the moon. Before that, the Traveler suggests a party and Moon Prayer Night festival be held in her honor. Varka and Jahoda will also take part. However, there are also insights into a new gate to Khaenri’ah, with Mona, Klee, Durin, and Venti mentioning dealing with it. Klee’s mother Alice also suggests that the previous method of returning to the moon won’t work. The Soulblazers’ Snowbound Journey event will run between December 19, 2025 and January 5, 2026.
Here’s the “A Nocturne of the Far North” trailer teasing the new story quest, event, and characters.
The Miliastra Wonderland Luna III Frosty Plume Legendary Set equipment got its own trailer too.
