Headline Changes: Durin’s Domain & New Area
According to images disseminated by noted leaker Kuroo (@earlyggcom), Version 6.2 will introduce a new Durin-focused domain featured in the character’s story quest. The area depicts a striking contrast of a corrupted void, moody townscapes, and a parlor reminiscent of the Imaginarium Theater—suggesting both environmental variety and narrative depth.
Confirmed by the leaker but not in official patch notes. Details and visuals remain subject to change prior to release.
Banner Schedule (Leaked, Not Final)
| Phase | Start | End | Featured Characters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 2025-12-03 | Not stated | Durin, Jahoda |

Exact dates for banner phases and character weapon pairings have not been published in official sources.
Playable Debuts: Durin and Jahoda
Durin
– Rarity: Not stated in official materials (leaks strongly suggest 5-star).
– Element/Weapon: Not stated in official materials.
– Role: Centerpiece of new story quest and domain introduced in Version 6.2.
– Synergies: Details on team roles, best builds, and materials will be covered in full once official previews are live. Early theorycrafting sees synergy with reaction-focused teams.
Jahoda
– Returns as a featured character with lore links to Nod-Krai. More details will emerge from live patch notes or the developer livestream.
Buffs and Meta Refresh: Hexenzirkel Favorites Rise Again
Several well-known characters—specifically Venti, Klee, and Fischl—are rumored to benefit from direct buffs targeting talents, bonus stats, or passive effects. These adjustments appear to align with new Hexenzirkel narrative arcs, potentially integrating these older heroes into current content viability.
Unconfirmed — subject to change. Wait for official patch notes or developer communication for final stat changes and detailed breakpoints.
What This Means for F2P/Low-Spend Players:
– Buffed reruns often translate into higher banner value. If Venti, Klee, or Fischl are favorites, consider pre-patch test runs to gauge potential impact.
– Currency Planning: Save Primogems for banner announcements post-patch preview; do not commit until details on competing characters/weapons are released. Historically, post-buff banners can be competitive, with strong meta/replay value.
Synergies and Team Building: Should You Pull on 6.2 Banners?
Banner Value Assessment (based on current leaks):
- Durin: As a debut unit tied to new story content, high banner visibility is all but guaranteed. Wait for official demo and kit preview before committing primogems.
- Jahoda & Venti: Both units potentially benefit from new buffs. For F2P and low-spend users, reruns with enhanced kits can offer substantial long-term return if you lack these units.
- Xilonen/Varesa: For players diversifying team compositions, reruns may fill missing roles, though their relative value depends on detailed kit adjustments (if any).
Pity/Primogem Guidance:
– Don’t overspend prior to patch stream; hoard Primogems until rates, phases, and banners are 100% official. Monitor EarlyGG’s live update and meta tracker for best-in-slot pick guidance.
Events, Rewards, and Domain Exploration
Official details on limited-time events, reward structures, and participation requirements for 6.2 are pending. Based on recent trends, expect:
– Story-Domain Quests with unique event currencies, domain-exclusive artifacts, and one-time exploration rewards.
– Time-limited tasks encouraging players to clear new domains for additional Primogems, weapon materials, and ascension items.
Be prepared for daily/weekly rotations mirroring other major region launches (e.g., Sumeru, Fontaine). Completing previous story and archon quests is strongly recommended to unlock all new content at launch.
Pre-6.2 Preparation Checklist
- Daily Tasks: Cap out resin, bank fragile resin, complete reputation and world quest chains in Nod-Krai.
- Character/Weapon Materials: Hoard materials for both new and potentially buffed units. Review existing stockpiles for items required by Durin, Jahoda, and rerun stars.
- Event Currency: Reserve event participation rewards for new banners (avoid converting into common resources unless capped).
Unconfirmed — Subject to Change
- Hexenzirkel Expansion: Speculation exists regarding Nicole and Alice’s playable debut, but specifics (rarity, role, exact release window) are unverified.
- Live HP/Skill Numbers: No official stats or scaling output for Durin/Jahoda; all current kit analysis is theorycraft only.
- Weapon Banner Pairings: Not stated by HoYoverse as of this publication.
