Nefer joins playable roster
HoYoverse initially introduced Nefer in the “Song of the Welkin Moon Teaser: Moonlit Ballad of the Night” video it released three months ago. She made an appearance as an NPC in the Archon Quest “Where the Moon Rises” from "Song of the Welkin Moon: Act I - A Dance of Snowy Tides and Hoarfrost Groves”.
Nefer is the head of the Curatorium of Secrets, and is a member of the Voynich Guild. She wields a Dendro moon wheel, with her weapon of choice being the Catalyst. Nefer’s kit revolves around the Lunar-Bloom reaction, and mainly acts as an on-field DPS. Additionally, her best-in-slot weapon, the “Reliquary of Truth” will headline the weapon banner for the first half of the version.
Furina, Arlecchino, and Zhongli to rerun
Former Hydro Archon Furina is joining Nefer on the first half of Version Luna II, while Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino and (retired) Geo Archon Zhongli will be running alongside each other in the second half. The four star characters Lan Yan (Anemo), Yun Jin (Geo), and Rosaria (Cryo) will also receive rate-up bonuses.
Additionally, Furina’s BIS weapon, “Splendor of Tranquil Waters” will run alongside Nefer’s “Reliquary of Truth” in the first half of the weapon banner, while the second half will feature Arlecchino’s “Crimson Moon’s Semblance” and Zhongli’s “Vortex Vanquisher”.
Additionally, four four-star Nod-Krai themed weapons will also be available in the weapon banner.
New Archon Quest
The story of Nod-Krai continues as the Traveler, the Marionette, Lauma, and the others face off against Rerir. This time, Grand Master Varka and Arlecchino join the fray to find a way to defeat Rerir, but more mysteries are abound. Travelers will also be able to unlock Rerir as a weekly boss.
Additionally, 560 Primogems and level-up materials for Nefer will be made available, alongside the new boss Frostnight Herra, which will provide further materials for Nefer. Plus, the Selenic Chronicles will receive an update to provide more missions from the Damselette, which will yield further rewards.
Events
It’s back to Sumeru for Version Luna II’s main event: Ruins Exploration: Fieldwise Center, which starts with a mystery revolving around Layla finding herself in an ancient ruin in the desert. To solve the mystery, Traveller and the gang try to get to the bottom of it.
The main event will also feature mini-games handled by the Sumeru gang. Travellers can earn a free Collei, plus primogems and other rewards.
Other events include:
- Dance Dance Dynamic Disco–a coop rhythm game
- Saurian Soujourn Event–a navigation game using Saurian companions
- Overflowing Abundance–increased rewards for talent level up books
UGC Mode to launch
Previously announced in the preview livestream for Version Luna I, Genshin Impact’s major new gameplay module “Miliastra Wonderland”, which is a User Generated Content (UGC) gameplay system that has been in development for some time, will be launching for Version Luna II.
The developers at HoYoverse were inspired by the outpouring of fan creativity with other factors in-game, like the Serenitea Pot, the puzzles crafted during the “Divine Ingenuity” event, among many other fan works created beyond the game itself.
This inspiration led to the decision of developing the UGC gameplay system to offer a broader stage for budding creators, as well as a varied experience for every player.
Essentially, “Miliastra Wonderland” is a game-making tool within Genshin Impact where players can craft their own games, play it with their friends, and share it with the wider Genshin Impact audience. The gameplay module will introduce a variety of custom stages from creators, and will debut new social features, character customisation, event gameplay, and customisation content.
Miliastra Wonderland will include the following features:
- Miliastra Pass–unlock outfit materials through purchasing a battlepass
- Creations–create your own fits and looks
- Odes–limited-time cosmetics are locked behind event wish banners, with the currency for these being called “Geodes of Replication”.
- Outfit gifting function–players can gift each other outfits
- In-game store–outfits can be purchasable through this store
- Manekins can be used as an avatar in overworld gameplay
Players will also have access to the Miliastra Sandbox editing tool, which allows them to access various models, logic components, and more to create their own kind of game.
