Genshin Version 6.7 Key Schedule
Version 6.7 "Luna VIII" released on July 1, 2026. This article is based on community leaks and datamined information. All details are subject to change prior to HoYoverse's official announcements.
Genshin Version 6.7 Banner Lineup Details
Version 6.7 is expected to feature one new 5-star and at least two rerun 5-stars on Event Wish banners. Phase 1 4-star characters are TBA, though characters synergizing with Superconduct are likely to be included. Phase 2 is expected to serve as a final cleanup rerun before the Snezhnaya arc begins.
🔄 Correction: The most recent and consistent round of leaks places Citlali's rerun in Phase 1 alongside Sandrone (not Columbina), and moves Columbina's first-ever rerun into Phase 2 alongside Raiden Shogun — replacing the earlier Shenhe/Wriothesley rumor. We've updated the table below accordingly, and kept the original Shenhe/Wriothesley write-ups further down since they're still floated by some sources as alternate Phase 2 candidates.
Phase 1 Character Analysis
- Sandrone (New) — The centerpiece of this version. As the Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers codenamed "Marionette," she is one of the most anticipated playable Harbinger characters. Updated: she is now confirmed as a Cryo Claymore on-field Main DPS, not the summoner-style Electro/Catalyst build originally rumored — see the full breakdown below. Detailed kit, build, and team composition information will be updated in the Sandrone Build Guide.
- Citlali (Rerun) — Cryo Catalyst support who scales off Elemental Mastery, providing consistent off-field Cryo application. Slotting her into a Sandrone team gives reliable Superconduct triggers without needing to rebuild your Electro backline.
Phase 2 Character Analysis
- Columbina (Rerun) — 5-star Hydro Bow support. This is her first rerun since her original debut in Version 6.3. She specializes in off-field Hydro damage and powerful Lunar-Bloom reaction support, with her synergy alongside Ineffa and Lauma widely regarded as the strongest available Lunar-Bloom team composition. For Travelers who have yet to complete their Lunar-Bloom team, this is a highly efficient opportunity.
- Raiden Shogun (Rerun) — New info: The classic Electro hypercarry and Energy Recharge battery. With 6.7 leaning hard into Electro/Cryo synergy for the reworked Superconduct, she doubles as both a standalone DPS and an Energy engine for Sandrone/Citlali-style teams. Full guide below.
Note: earlier leak cycles floated Shenhe and Wriothesley as the Phase 2 reruns. We've left both full write-ups later in this article since some sources still mention them as backup candidates — but treat Raiden Shogun + Columbina as the currently more reliable pairing.
Genshin 6.7 New Character: Sandrone Overview
Sandrone is confirmed Cryo Claymore, not Electro Catalyst, and her playstyle is an on-field Charged Attack beam rather than a pure summoner loop.
Sandrone is the Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers, codenamed "Marionette," known for her cold demeanor and obsession with mechanical engineering. She is always accompanied by a colossal mechanical automaton, creating a striking contrast between a refined, Victorian-style girl and a massive, imposing machine.
She has been referenced multiple times throughout the game's story and now makes her debut as a playable character ahead of the Snezhnaya chapter. She is expected to be among the Fatui Harbingers with the greatest story significance.
Kit Summary
- Charged Attack Beam: Holding her Charged Attack channels a sustained cryo energy laser, similar in rhythm to Neuvillette's continuous-output playstyle rather than a typical claymore combo loop.
- Overheat Management: A resource gauge limits how long she can sustain the beam before resetting, giving her a distinct skill ceiling.
- Polar Starlight Domain: Her signature mechanic — while active, it unlocks bonus enhanced talents for a set of veteran Cryo/Electro characters (see the Character Buffs section below), making her a support-hybrid as much as a DPS.
For Constellations, C2 is expected to offer the best value for budget-conscious players, significantly increasing her burst-window damage.
Recommended Team Compositions
- Sandrone (Cryo Main DPS) + Citlali (off-field Cryo application) + Electro Sub-DPS (Cyno, Raiden Shogun, Kaeya, Diona) + Healer/Shielder
- She is expected to have broad synergy with existing Cryo/Electro characters, making it possible to build an initial team with zero new investment.
- Running Columbina in a Superconduct team opens the door to experimenting with a mixed Lunar-Bloom + Superconduct meta.
Genshin 6.7 Rerun Character: Columbina Detailed Build Guide
Columbina is the Third of the Fatui Harbingers, codenamed "Damselette." Version 6.7 marks her first rerun since her original debut in Version 6.3. As an off-field Hydro damage dealer and Lunar-Bloom reaction specialist, her team composition with Lauma and Ineffa is widely considered the strongest available Lunar-Bloom team.
Columbina Full Material List
Materials needed to fully ascend Columbina to Lv.90 and max all talents to Lv.10:
Columbina Signature Weapon: Mirror of Night-Weaving (★5 Bow)

Genshin 6.7 Rerun Character: Citlali Detailed Build Guide
Citlali is a shamanic hunter of the Ochkanacan tribe, deploying a ceremonial Cryo field that applies consistent off-field elemental damage while scaling primarily off Elemental Mastery.
💡 For a full ascension-phase breakdown, check our Citlali Build Guide.
Citlali Full Material List
Since Citlali has been playable since Version 5.3, her materials are fully confirmed:
Citlali Signature Weapon: Fang of the Mountain King (★5 Catalyst)
Boosts Elemental Mastery and converts a portion of it into bonus DMG, reinforcing her EM-scaling kit:
💡 Since Citlali centers on EM and shielding rather than personal damage, her Burst is optional to fully level — prioritize her Elemental Skill first to save Crowns of Insight.
Genshin 6.7 Rerun Character: Raiden Shogun Detailed Build Guide
Raiden Shogun replaces the earlier Shenhe/Wriothesley Phase 2 rumor in the most recent, consistent leak wave.
Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst, Musou Isshin, converts unused party Energy into a stacking damage buff before unleashing a wide-reaching Electro slash. This makes her both a strong standalone on-field DPS and the single best Energy Recharge battery for any Electro-adjacent team — including 6.7's reworked Superconduct comps built around Sandrone and Citlali.
Raiden Shogun Full Material List
Raiden Shogun Signature Weapon: Engulfing Lightning (★5 Polearm)
Converts a portion of Raiden Shogun's Energy Recharge into bonus ATK — one of the strongest weapon-kit synergies in the game:
Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst converts unused party Energy into a growing damage buff before unleashing a sweeping Electro slash, making her both a strong standalone DPS and the single best Energy Recharge battery for any Electro-adjacent team — including 6.7's reworked Superconduct comps built around Sandrone and Citlali.

Pull Priority by Situation
| Situation | Recommendation |
| Want to build a Superconduct team | Sandrone is a must-pull (C0 minimum, C2 recommended) |
| Lunar-Bloom team is incomplete | Use Columbina's rerun (best-in-slot synergy with Ineffa and Lauma) |
| No Raiden Shogun yet | Strong universal pull — doubles as DPS and Energy battery even into Version 7.0 |
| Saving for Snezhnaya | Skip 6.7, wait for Version 7.0's Snezhnaya characters |
| Already have Cryo/Electro DPS units | Build an immediate Superconduct team by pairing Sandrone with your existing roster |
| Aiming for both Lunar-Bloom + Superconduct | Pull both Sandrone and Columbina (experiment with the mixed meta) |
Looking Ahead: Version 7.0 and Beyond
Genshin Version 7.0 is expected to be the largest update in the game's history, featuring the full reveal of the Snezhnaya map. Current leaks point to nine new 5-star characters rolling out across the arc, including:
- A Cryo support (community-transliterated as "Odile") who pairs directly with Sandrone's Cryo Star-Superconduct kit and can also slot into Star-Diffusion teams from Constellation 2 onward.
- An Anemo 5-star Star-Diffusion main DPS ("Wensna").
- Water 5-star support Vodyanitsa, expected around Version 7.1, alongside a companion healer-style character.
- Two free 4-star characters obtainable through the 7.0 launch event.
In Version 6.8, a Snezhnaya prologue quest may go live alongside new story content related to the Fatui Harbingers, with the community predicting a new character carrying mechanics that complement Sandrone's kit.
Conclusion
Genshin Impact Version 6.7 is more than just another Harbinger going playable — it's a meta-defining patch that breathes entirely new life into Superconduct, long considered one of the game's weakest reactions. Travelers who pull Sandrone can immediately slot her into a Superconduct team using existing Cryo and Electro characters, with minimal additional investment required.
For Travelers who haven't completed their Lunar-Bloom team, Columbina's rerun is a highly efficient opportunity not to be missed, and the addition of Raiden Shogun's rerun in Phase 2 gives both a strong standalone DPS pick and a valuable Energy battery for whatever team you're building. If you'd rather save for Version 7.0's Snezhnaya characters, that's also a perfectly rational strategy — consider your current roster and meta preferences before committing your pulls.
If you are aiming to secure Sandrone's crucial C2 for that massive Superconduct damage spike, or need extra pulls to guarantee Columbina before Snezhnaya arrives, your free Primogems might not be enough. Use promo code SAVE60 to get an extra 1% on your Genesis Crystals at GamsGo!
FAQ
When will Version 6.7 be released?
Version 6.7 released on July 1, 2026, following scheduled server maintenance, and runs until August 11.
Is Sandrone Electro or Cryo?
Cryo. Earlier leaks pointed to an Electro/Catalyst summoner build, but the most recent and consistent community datamines confirm she's a Cryo Claymore on-field Main DPS with a Charged Attack laser mechanic.
Is Sandrone worth pulling as a free-to-play player?
At C0, her Charged Attack beam and Polar Starlight Domain function fully as intended. If you already own Cryo and Electro characters, she slots directly into a team without additional investment — a genuinely F2P-friendly design.
Do I need Columbina to run Sandrone?
No. Sandrone's Superconduct team works independently of Columbina, pairing well with existing characters like Cyno, Raiden Shogun, Kaeya, and Diona. Columbina remains the cornerstone of Lunar-Bloom teams, and both are best understood as separate powerhouses for different archetypes.
Should I pull Columbina's rerun now?
If you're running or planning a Lunar-Bloom team, this rerun may effectively be your last realistic opportunity before Version 7.0 shifts the meta spotlight to Snezhnaya. Pulling her now is the safer choice.
Is Raiden Shogun or Columbina the better Phase 2 pull?
If your team lacks a reliable Energy battery or standalone Electro DPS, Raiden Shogun is the safer universal pick. If you specifically need Lunar-Bloom synergy, Columbina remains unmatched. Budget permitting, both complement the wider 6.7 meta well.
How many free Primogems can I get in Version 6.7?
Based on current leaks, free-to-play Travelers are estimated to earn approximately 70+ pulls (around 11,200+ Primogems), rising to around 90 for Welkin Moon subscribers. Guaranteeing one 5-star still requires up to 180 wishes, worst-case.
