Genshin Impact enthusiasts, brace yourselves! HoYoverse has officially unveiled Version Luna 3, a monumental update set to launch across all platforms on December 3. This highly anticipated expansion not only continues the captivating Nod-Krai storyline but introduces the long-awaited 5-Star Pyro Sword wielder, Durin, alongside a powerful new Hexerei combat system that will redefine team compositions. Get ready to dive into a wintry adventure packed with fresh characters, challenging quests, and exciting events, all arriving in less than two weeks.

Durin: The Dragon Prince Emerges

The star of Version Luna 3 is undoubtedly Durin, the new 5-Star Pyro Sword user. Known for his unique past as a dragon who now inhabits a human body, Durin brings unparalleled versatility to the battlefield. Players will harness his ability to switch between two distinct forms:

  • Abyssal-Infused Form: Designed for offense, this powerful form unleashes major single-target attacks, significantly boosting his personal Vaporize and Melt damage potential.
  • Support Form: When shifting to his supportive stance, Durin focuses on team utility, reducing enemies’ Elemental Resistance while dealing potent AoE Pyro damage.

A dedicated Story Quest for Durin will delve deeper into his intriguing history, offering exclusive rewards upon completion.

The Hexenzirkel Awakens: A New Combat Meta

Version Luna 3 introduces a groundbreaking "Hexerei Secret Rite" effect, poised to transform combat strategies. As a member of the Hexenzirkel, Durin, along with several existing fan-favorite characters, can gain new abilities by completing Moon-Prayer Night quests. This significant addition impacts:

  • Venti
  • Klee
  • Albedo
  • Mona
  • Razor
  • Fischl
  • Sucrose

These characters can become "Hexerei characters," and when two or more are present in your party, the Hexerei Secret Rite will trigger, providing a substantial boost to the entire party’s combat effectiveness.

New Anemo Healer and Banner Details

Joining Durin is Jahoda, a brand new 4-Star Anemo Bow wielder. Jahoda excels in both healing teammates and absorbing elemental energies to convert into damage, making her a versatile addition to any roster.

The initial phase of Luna 3 will feature limited-time banners for Durin and Jahoda, alongside the return of the beloved Venti. The second phase of the update will see no new character debuts but will bring back Varesa and Xilonen for those looking to expand their collections.

Wintry Events and Creator Content

Beyond the new characters and combat mechanics, Luna 3 delivers a wealth of engaging content:

  • Moon-Prayer Night: This in-world festival marks Dameselette's final night before her celestial journey, transforming Nasha Town with festive stalls and a souvenir stamp book for recording memories.
  • New Mystery: Following Rarcher of Solnari’s defeat, Alice and Nicole Reeyn report sinister phantom sightings across the Nod-Krai region near Teyvat's borders, setting the stage for a new mystery.
  • Soulblazers' Snowbound Journey: Return to Dragonspine for a series of winter-themed minigames, perfect for the December to January update cycle. This event also offers the exclusive 4-Star Rainbow Serpent's Rain Bow as a reward.
  • Miliastra Wonderland UGC Module Update: Creators can look forward to new features within the Wonderland Resource Center, facilitating the sharing and acquisition of resources through the editing tool.

Players who complete the Archon Quest in Version Luna 3 will also be rewarded with a generous 500 Primogems. Mark your calendars for December 3 and prepare for an unforgettable journey into Genshin Impact's latest chapter!
