Genshin Impact Leak: Venti and Klee Targeted for Major Buffs
Trusted leakers hint at substantial buffs for legacy characters Venti and Klee in Genshin Impact, with a potential shake-up of core team synergies.
Tyler Smith Genshin Impact Leak: Venti and Klee Targeted for Major Buffs
Genshin Impact is on the verge of one of its most meaningful meta shifts in recent memory, as newly surfaced leaks point to targeted buffs for several legacy characters—most notably Venti and Klee. These adjustments, reportedly tied to a new Hexenzirkel faction mechanic, could give Mondstadt’s oldest 5-stars a seat at the top tables once again. For veteran players and rerun banner strategists alike, this leak warrants close attention ahead of the coming patches.
With the debut of the new region Nod-Krai and Version 6.1 looming, player anticipation is high. The possibility that beloved characters may see relevant buffs—especially if they synergize with new or returning units—could reshape both Abyss endgame and casual team-building for much of 2025.
At a Glance
- Patch: Expected with or after Version 6.1 (No official date given. Check for regional server rollout)
- Buff Targets: Venti, Klee—possible synergy with Durin, Albedo, Mona, Fischl, Sucrose, Razor (Hexenzirkel-linked)
- Mechanic: Special trait buffs when paired with other Hexenzirkel members
- Status: Unconfirmed — subject to change. Based on prominent leakers (@kokomi via Reddit)
- Major Event: Patch “Luna 2” with Nefer (new Dendro 5-star), rerun of Furina, and the "Miliastra Wonderland" user-content mode

Patch Preview: Buffs to Venti, Klee, and the Hexenzirkel Cast
Legacy Upgrades: Why Now?
For nearly five years, Venti—once a meta staple—and Klee—formerly a premier Pyro DPS—have seen their pick rates decline with each regional expansion. Power creep, evolving artifact pools, and the arrival of multi-element reaction teams have left these characters languishing outside most top Abyss clears. Meanwhile, player frustration over the stagnant state of early banners has grown, especially as recent limited units outpace older ones on release.
Now, according to leaker summaries, patch 6.1 will introduce a "Hexenzirkel trait" that rewards fielding Mondstadt’s arcane clan of witches and their affiliates. Sourced details suggest:
– Venti: After using his Elemental Burst, Normal Attacks gain an Anemo infusion and pierce-through effect.
– Klee: Every third Normal Attack automatically triggers a Charged Attack for bonus damage.
Both buffs are conditional: the effect activates in parties that also include characters affiliated with the Hexenzirkel, such as Durin, Albedo, Mona, Fischl, Sucrose, and Razor—the latter two being four-stars who see only sporadic play.
Rumor Status
- Unconfirmed — subject to change. No official in-game previews or patch notes have corroborated these effects at this time.

F2P and Optimization Guidance
Should you pull Venti or Klee post-buff?
– If confirmed: Both become stronger in Hexenzirkel comps, raising the value of future reruns—especially if you own overlapping four-stars or wish to try new team archetypes. However, F2P players should weigh these banners against "meta-defining" limited units or new releases like Nefer. Remember that standard event banner pity (90 pulls) and soft pity (approx. 75) still apply.
Rerun Phase Planning:
– Review EarlyGG rerun history and maintain a 20–30 pull buffer for high-value limited banners.
Teams, Synergies, and Spiral Abyss Impact
Current meta analysis:
– Venti has fallen behind Kazuha for grouping/Swirl support due to outdated base multipliers and lack of direct buffs since launch. If the leaked Anemo infusion applies after Burst and fully pierces enemy columns, it could vault him back to S-tier for grouped mobs—especially in event content tailored towards Mondstadt lore.
– Klee may see a play rate bump if her Normal/Charged Attack interaction brings her Clovers and Pyro particle generation back into focus. Players frustrated with her awkward combos should check if the mechanic smooths her DPS curves. Integration with Sucrose or Mona (EM/Vaporize) teams appears promising on paper.
– Alt Comps: Mono-Anemo, Hexenzirkel quad-synergy, or Electro-overload configurations using Fischl, Sucrose, and Razor open up with these buffs; viability will depend on tuning.
Events & Rewards Breakdown
Luna 2 (Official)
- Launch date: Week of 2025-10-20 (noted as "later this week" in official preview)
- Featured 5-star: Nefer (Dendro), plus Furina rerun
- Miliastra Wonderland: UGC/event mode with enhanced rewards for creative content, unique items, and limited banner currency
- Other Events: Details TBA—watch for AR 35 unlock requirements
Preparation Checklist
- Ascension Materials: Stockpile books and boss drops for Mondstadt cast (dandelion seeds, Cecilia, paint/aerosols for Klee, etc.)
- Mora/EXP: >1 million suggested for rapid talent/level ups post-buff
- Resin: Consider pre-farming Anemo domain/Crimson Witch sets if leaning into buffed teams
- Teambuilding: Experiment with pre-patch comps in test runs featuring Sucrose, Mona, or early-game Hexenzirkel proxies
Unconfirmed — subject to change
- Buff implementation method: Dual speculation exists—some suggest a region-based domain buff, others posit a permanent passive trait if a Hexenzirkel member is in party.
- Broader impact: The inclusion of Fischl and Razor (not explicitly Hexenzirkel in current lore) implies HoYoverse may expand the group's definition in Act III and beyond.
- Timeline: No locked-in patch number or server-wide rollout date. All preview data is attributed to aggregator leaks, primarily @kokomi (Reddit).
Conclusion: A New Dawn for Mondstadt’s OGs?
If these buffs land as described, Venti and Klee could see a long-awaited resurgence just as Mondstadt’s story moves center-stage again. For veteran players and new recruits alike, holding off on resource use or event currency until the patch notes drop may be wise. With Luna 2 and "Miliastra Wonderland" introducing even more experimental teams, now is a critical time to track EarlyGG’s ongoing coverage and tier discussions.
