The Genshin Impact 6.3 update will be released in January 2026, and with this update, the Nod-Krai storyline is expected to be completed and two new maps added. However, that won’t be the only new thing the update brings: 6.3 will also add multiple character banners to the game. You can find the latest information about these characters here, but please note that all of this is still unconfirmed rumor at this stage. Since it has been shared by multiple reliable sources, we don’t expect any issues, but please remember that all the information we share is subject to change.

Columbina – Hydro Catalyst

Columbina was designed as a support character but can also take on the DPS role. However, it should be noted that she does not perform very well in this role. Her elemental abilities are based on applying the “Wet” condition to enemies and she can also create an entity called “XX”. The entity can deal additional damage based on Columbina’s maximum HP. Her Elemental Burst buffs the entire team, increasing Lunar Reaction damage. Columbina can buff all types of Lunar Reactions (Charge, Bloom, Crystallize).

White Horse Adeptus – Geo Sword

White Horse Adeptus is a DPS character who can increase her damage with Lunar Crystallize. This is the character we know the least about: she is expected to use a new playstyle and is claimed to use the Lunar Reaction system much more efficiently. If you are building a Geo-based team, adding her to the team would be a good idea, but it is currently unclear what bonuses and buffs you can obtain this way.

Illuga – Geo Polearm

Illuga is designed to be a support character like Columbina. As a Lunar Crystallize-based character, it will perform well in teams built around the same element. For the same reason, it can also be used alongside White Horse Adeptus. Its most significant difference from other characters is that it only has 4 stars. Therefore, Illuga will likely be the easiest character to obtain and will allow players to become familiar with new mechanics.

In addition, you can expect a new outfit for Neuvillette and a new skin for Chongyun. You can purchase the former from the store, but all players will be able to obtain the latter for free. As always, you can enjoy the Genshin Impact 6.3 update on PC with BlueStacks. BlueStacks enables you to achieve smoother FPS, better controls, and a much more enjoyable gameplay experience.
