Genshin Impact 6.6 Version Banner Leak | Detailed Introduction of Nicole and Lohen

With Genshin Impact 6.6 - Luna VII closed beta in full swing, the official website has released the character art for two new characters, but banner information has not yet been released.

Version 6.6 is scheduled for release on May 20, 2026. To help us plan our resources for pulling our desired characters, it's essential to know the banner information in advance. Let's take a look at the banner information and the story of Nicole and Lohen.

Banner Information

Character Banners

Genshin Impact 6.6 version will have four character banners. Below is information from a highly reliable leaker in the Genshin Impact community:

Phase I Banners

• Nicole (Pyro 5-star)
• Durin (Pyro 5-star)

Phase I banners feature Nicole and Durin, both of whom are Pyro 5-star characters. Although Nicole has appeared in multiple events and quests, this is her first banner. Meanwhile, Durin is also getting its first rerun. Based on Nicole's leaked skills, she and Durin can team up.

Phase II Banners

• Lohen (Cryo 5-star)
• Mavuika (Pyro 5-star)

Phase II banners feature Lohen and Mavuika. Similar to Nicole, Lohen also officially appears in Varka's story quest and has several hidden interactions in Dornman Port in the current 6.5 version. Mavuika, as the strongest fire-type main DPS, is definitely worth considering for players lacking a main DPS.

Weapon Banners

• Seven Edicts of Dust and Light (Nicole's signature weapon, 5-star Catalyst)
• Disaster and Remorse (Lohen's signature weapon, 5-star Polearm)
• Athame Artis (Durin's signature weapon, 5-star Sword)
• A Thousand Blazing Suns (Mavuika's signature weapon, 5-star Claymore)

Acquiring these characters and their signature weapons requires a large amount of Primogems. Remember to complete daily quests and plan your resources carefully. If you run out, go to the open world and open chests and complete quests like crazy. However, if you've already used up all your resources, then you'll have to choose Genshin Impact top up.

Background

Next, let's take a closer look at the background stories of the two new characters.

Nicole

Nicole, the first new playable character in the upcoming Luna VII update, codenamed "N," belongs to the mysterious Heexenzirkel, a group of famous and enigmatic witches who have played a significant role in the game's story so far.

Nicole Reeyn is a survivor of the Angel race. The Angel race was created directly by the Heavenly Principles to guide humanity. Due to her divine origins, Nicole Reeyn is known as a prophet, holding the direction and order of Teyvat, and is said to have provided help and guidance to those in need.

However, when the Angels were cursed and turned into mindless Seelies by Koitar's rebellion, she became one of the very few who retained her power. Although she lost her ability to speak, she can communicate through people's minds.

Nicole serves as a guide character for the player; we first encounter her at the end of the Fontaine Quest line, and also hear her voice in Chapter V Act VI: A Space and Time for You.

She also plays a crucial role in the Song of the Welkin Moon Nod-Krai quest, becoming a key figure in the final defeat of Il Dottore.

Lohen

Along with Nicole Reeyn, Lohen is also a main character introduced in Luna VII. His newly revealed character art and ultimate skill animation have been well-received by many female players, who have expressed their intention to immediately summon him after the update and also to obtain his signature weapon.

As a new member of the Knights of Favonius, Lohen is a relatively new character, officially appearing as a non-playable character in Varka's story quests, thus much about him remains shrouded in mystery.

However, Lohen's appearance also showcases Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius, and his arrival will introduce a new faction within the organization: the Fifth Company.

From his anecdotes, Lohen is both brave and decisive. He serves as Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius Ranged Company, commanding a platoon of knights primarily armed with bows, but Lohen prefers to use a lance because "stabbing with my lance is faster and more accurate than shooting arrows."

Varka also describes Lohen as someone who fights for the sake of fighting, not for glory or honor. Varka further believes that Lohen is more resilient than he is, and his unique charisma inspires his comrades to follow him into battle - no matter how insane his tactics may be.

Lohen and his retinue accompanied Varka on their expedition to Nod-Krai, among many knights resisting the Wild Hunt. However, after Reir's defeat, Lohen and his party were sent back to Mondstadt, where they are readjusting to a more peaceful era.

For players hoping to pull for new characters in Patch 6.6, it's crucial to plan your Primogems allocation before the patch arrives. In Patch 6.5, free accounts will only receive approximately 60 Intertwined Wishes in total. Furthermore, Genshin Impact is unlikely to receive a high Primogems update until July 2026.
