Genshin Impact 6.6 New Characters
Nicole Reeyn (5★)
Nicole Reeyn is a new 5★ Pyro Catalyst character who functions as a strong support and buffer, specializing in increasing the entire team’s overall damage and survivability. According to the official Version 6.6 Special Program livestream, Nicole can boost the entire party’s ATK, provide reliable Shield protection, and perform coordinated attacks, making her a highly valuable companion for many team compositions.
Her Elemental Skill, Revelation: Uncreated Light, increases the entire party’s ATK and allows her to deploy a Shield, giving both offensive buffs and defensive utility at the same time. She is a character that provides stable buffs and survivability across a wide range of team comps.
After using her Elemental Burst, Nicole summons Arcane Projections, which can perform coordinated attacks based on the active character’s ATK. Additionally, the Arcane Projections of Hexenzirkel characters may appear slightly different, adding even more unique synergy to her gameplay.
With her combination of ATK buffs, shielding, and coordinated attacks, Nicole stands out as one of the most versatile new characters introduced in Genshin Impact 6.6.
Lohen (5★)
Lohen is a new 5★ Cryo Polearm character who functions as a strong main DPS, specializing in dealing high-frequency Cryo DMG through his powerful Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. According to the official Version 6.6 Special Program livestream, Lohen can unleash his special Elemental Skill to deal considerable Cryo damage by launching rapid attacks against enemies.
His gameplay focuses on maintaining strong offensive pressure through repeated Cryo attacks while staying active on the field. In addition to his direct damage output, Lohen can further increase his skill damage by engaging in a unique form of competition with his teammates, adding an interesting mechanic to his combat style.
After using his Elemental Skill, Lohen enters a special state where he accumulates Will to Win whenever other party members deal high damage. Will to Win increases the damage dealt by both his special Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, allowing him to create stronger burst windows during combat.
With his combination of high-frequency Cryo DMG, strong burst potential, and the unique Will to Win mechanic, Lohen stands out as one of the major DPS characters introduced in Genshin Impact 6.6.
Prune (4★)
Prune is a new 4★ Anemo Catalyst character who functions as a strong off-field support, specializing in dealing consistent off-field Anemo DMG and improving her teammates’ overall damage output. According to the official Version 6.6 Special Program livestream, Prune performs especially well in Swirl-focused teams, where she can further increase the team’s damage potential.
Her gameplay focuses on supporting the active character while staying off the field, making her a valuable option for players looking for smoother team rotations and stronger elemental reaction setups. As an Anemo Catalyst user, she provides strong utility for teams built around Swirl reactions and continuous elemental application.
After using her Elemental Burst, Prune summons the Witchlure Bell, which follows the active character and deals AoE Anemo DMG at intervals. If the bell triggers a Swirl reaction, it launches an additional attack, and the damage dealt by other party members will also be increased.
With her combination of off-field Anemo DMG, Swirl support, and team-wide damage buffs, Prune becomes one of the most valuable new support characters introduced in Genshin Impact 6.6.
