Teyvat Traveler's Almanac — Version Luna VII
Genshin Impact Luna VII (6.6): Everything New
Version Luna VII — "Song of the Welkin Moon: Andante – Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana" — launched on May 20, 2026, closing out the Nod-Krai arc and setting the stage for Snezhnaya. This update brings three new characters (Nicole, Lohen, and Prune), two new artifact sets, the final Archon Quest acts of the current storyline, and a wave of events. Here is everything you need to know, from kits and banners to the best team compositions.
I. New Characters
Nicole — "Clamor Within" (Pyro, 5-Star Catalyst)
Nicole is an off-field support who provides party-wide ATK bonuses, shields, and coordinated attacks. After casting her Elemental Skill, she grants the entire party the "Grace of Kenosis" ATK bonus and deploys a "Shield of Blazing Light." Her Elemental Burst makes the active character's attacks summon an "Arcane Projection" that deals Elemental DMG of the corresponding type. After completing Hexenzirkel-related quests, Nicole becomes a Hexerei character, boosting Arcane Projection damage by up to 300% of her ATK. For F2P players, Nicole potentially rivals Bennett as a slot-in for vaporize, freeze, and overload comps.
Lohen — "Sharpened Arrowhead" (Cryo, 5-Star Polearm)
Lohen is a destructive Cryo hypercarry who gets stronger against formidable enemies. His Elemental Skill grants Cryo infusion, and continuous attacking activates a special skill. During this window, damage dealt by teammates stacks "Victory" layers that boost his Skill and Burst damage. He is especially potent in freeze and shatter setups, or paired with Shenhe. Note: Lohen is exclusive to event banners — he does not join the Standard Banner after launch, making him a highly limited pickup.
Prune — "Precious Childhood Dreams" (Anemo, 4-Star Catalyst)
Prune is an Anemo support who grants DMG bonuses to her teammates. Her core mechanic is her Elemental Burst, which summons a bell that follows the active character, dealing intermittent Anemo damage. If it triggers a Swirl reaction, it deals additional corresponding-element damage and boosts other party members' damage. She also has a useful exploration talent: a 10% chance to produce an extra regional talent material when crafting.
II. Banner Schedule
| Phase | Dates (UTC+8) | 5-Star Characters | 4-Star |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 2026-05-20 to 2026-06-09 | Nicole, Durin | Prune (debut) |
| Phase 2 | 2026-06-09 to 2026-07-01 | Lohen, Mavuika | — |
New 5-star weapons: Heptades of the Angels (Catalyst) and Disaster and Remorse (Polearm), both featured in the weapon banner.
III. New Artifact Sets
| Set | 2-Piece | 4-Piece |
|---|---|---|
| Celestial Gift (Don Céleste) | Energy Recharge +20% | After the equipped character completes their witch's duty and uses an Elemental Skill, gain "Guidance of Light": grants a 20% Elemental DMG bonus of the equipped character's element to all nearby party members for 20s. Triggers even off-field. |
| Disenchantment in Deep Shadow | ATK +18% | Superconduct reaction DMG +80%. When the equipped character attacks an enemy affected by Superconduct, CRIT Rate +16%. |
The Disenchantment set is a Superconduct main-DPS set — perfect for Lohen in freeze/shatter or physical comps. Celestial Gift is a flexible support set that works for Nicole and other off-field buffers.

V. Best Team Compositions
Nicole Support Teams
Nicole's ATK buffs and shields slot into almost any reaction team. Best pairings: with a Pyro DPS (vaporize/melt), with Dendro teams (burn/burgeon), or as a Bennett alternative in mono-Pyro. Her Hexerei form makes her especially strong with other Hexenzirkel characters.
Lohen Hypercarry Teams
Lohen shines in freeze and shatter setups. Recommended: Lohen + Shenhe (Cryo battery and buffer) + Hydro applicator (freeze) + Anemo support (Viridescent Venerer shred). For Superconduct physical comps, pair him with the new Disenchantment set and an Electro support.
Prune Swirl Teams
Prune is an Anemo battery and grouping specialist. Her fast Swirl application and strong grouping make her a great fit for crowd-control teams and for Varka synergy. Use her in any team that wants an Anemo support with damage buffs.
