Banners
Regarding V6.5 banners, which you're most interested in, as usual, they are divided into two phases. The first phase runs from April 8th to 28th. Phase 1 features Epitome Invocation banner, including Linnea's banner and Chasca's rerun banner. Epitome Invocation banner will also appear in Phase 2, continuing from April 28th to May 19th. Lauma and Nefer will also be returning.
The limited-time Chronicled Wish Fontaine gacha pool offers the following 5 - Star characters: Emilie, Clorinde, Navia, Sigewinne, and Lyne.
5 - Star Weapons: Absolution, Lumidouce Elegy, Silvershower Heatstrings, First Great Magic, Verdict.
Regarding character and weapon gacha pulls, you have a 50% chance of getting your desired item on your first pull. If you miss, don't worry, you'll still receive a Fate Point, which will guarantee your next pull will be the item you want. However, if you want to get your desired character quickly, you can buy Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals from EZG.com and exchange them for Primogems for a smoother gacha experience.
New Quests and New Areas
The exclusive quest for the core character Linnea, Alcyon Chapter Act 1, is also starting in this update. To learn more about Linnea's story, get ready to enter Linnea's world and make more friends.
In addition to the new characters, the 5 - Star bow weapon, Claymore Golden Frostbound Oath, will also surprise you. It's not hard to guess that this is likely Linnea's signature weapon.
Near Mondstadt, entirely new areas are slowly emerging, one of which is the port of Dornman. It served as a vital trade hub for the surrounding cities, with most commodity transactions and international exchanges taking place there.
The second is an area above the city, previously hidden and its true nature shrouded in mystery. Temple of Space is actually Asmoday's warehouse, primarily used to store various rare treasures from Teyvat. As the ruler of the sky and space, the quantity of these valuable items is often considerable.
Watcher: Fallen Vigil, a new world boss, will appear at Dornman Port. Note that the items she drops are exclusive upgrade materials required by Linnea. After you have a good grasp of the key information, get ready for battle.
New Events
V6.5 introduces four new events. Surveying and Mapping Studies require you to accurately locate targets on the map. Don't overlook clues along the way; they are all stepping stones to your success. Utilize the compass, certain landmarks, and special terrain features. The event runs from April 10th to 20th. You'll receive Primogem, Mora, Hero's Wit, Talent Book Materials, Mystic Enhancement Ore, and other Talent Level-up Materials.
Rapid Capture, themed around filmmaking, involves shooting and finalizing scenes in pre-built settings - sounds exciting! It runs from May 6th to 18th. As the lead planner, you'll need to match characters and scenes to the film's theme. The game will provide different shooting angles and lenses for you to choose from.
Storyboarding Objectives will display the stages you need to achieve. Completing all the displayed objectives will bring your filmmaking project to a successful close. If you still want to enjoy it, simply unlock Flash Cuts, and you can build your own scenes without any restrictions. Rewards remain the same as the previous event.
Where Waves Meet the Reef event runs from April 27th to May 14th. It primarily involves participating in mini-games organized by Voynich Guild, completing various combat-type mini-games, and unlocking Jahoda's dungeon. A free 4 - Star anemo bow character, Jahoda, awaits you.
Thwack'n Smack Defense Bots event involves taking up arms and bravely standing up to protect your Stronghold. To withstand attacks, equip Experimental Shield and try to defeat as many enemies as possible to achieve a high score. The awards also include Crown of Insight, Primogem, Mora, Hero's Wit, Talent Book Materials, and Weapon Ascension Materials.
Ley Line Overflow is a rerun of the event in this new version. Your goal is to successfully unlock Blossoms of Wealth or Revelation. It's worth mentioning that during the event period from May 11th to 18th, Ley Line rewards you receive will be doubled.
That concludes the list of all the updates for Genshin Impact Version 6.5 Luna VI listed in this guide. Get ready to welcome Linnea!
