Banner Breakdown: Official Details
The Moonsong of the Groves banner highlights Lauma, the event-exclusive Dendro 5-star, positioned centrally for narrative and gameplay relevance. While precise four-star supports and weapons are not stated in official materials, players can expect the usual dual phase system splitting 6.6’s character event wishes.
Lauma’s official profile frames her as pursuing the True Moon—imagery that echoes past metaphysical threads woven through Snezhnaya and Celestia storylines. The formal event name and full character title—Evermoon's Sacrament Song—strongly hint at future world quest connections.
Should You Pull on Moonsong of the Groves?
Pull recommendations always depend on your collection, curiosity for Snezhnayan lore, and immediate team needs.
Meta and Team Building Considerations
- Dendro Support/Hybrid? While the official announcement does not specify Lauma’s exact role, sources frame her as a protector and enabler. If her abilities align with current Dendro quicken/aggravate teams, she may outpace previous meta supports.
- F2P/Limited Players: If you already own key Dendro units (e.g., Nahida, Collei), consider your resin, fate, and primogem investments. As always, the standard soft pity and 50/50 mechanisms apply.
- Collector Value: As a unique narrative bridge, Lauma’s debut may be a one-off for several future patches. For lore completionists, skipping risks a long wait for a rerun—patterned by historically slow returns for event-exclusive Snezhnayan figures.

Expect Lauma’s event story to interlink with Season 6.6’s broader Snezhnaya narrative, possibly advancing themes from 6.5’s Dornman Port quests (More on the T2 Mondstadt developments).

Speculation: Story Arc and Faction Implications (Unconfirmed)
Given Lauma’s title as Moonchanter and references to the True Moon, players should anticipate:
– Major revelations about Snezhnayan celestial beliefs, paralleling motifs seen in Fontaine and Inazuma
– Potential introduction of a new faction or playable storyline arc in upcoming patches
– Recurring Moon motifs possibly foreshadowing the back half of the 6.x cycle
All such narrative ties are unconfirmed—subject to change based on future patches and quests.
What to Watch Next
- Await official announcements regarding the second half of 6.6’s banners and any associated weapons
- Monitor in-game and official channels for event-specific rewards, as drop tables for this banner phase were not stated in official materials
- Engage with ongoing Snezhnaya and Frostmoon Scion developments, as these are likely to pivot the regional arc leading into 7.0
