Genshin Impact has officially kicked off its drip marketing for Nicole, revealing new lore about the Voiceless Angel and confirming her release date for the first half of Version 6.6. With Version 6.5 underway, Genshin Impact players have sunk their teeth into Dornman Port and the Temple of Space, two zones that introduced a much-needed expansion to Mondstadt – the game's oldest region. Version 6.5 also saw the debut of Linnea, a Fae with ties to the Adventurers' Guild, and a 5-Star Geo Bow that serves as the capstone for Lunar-Crystallize teams. By contrast, Version 6.6 promises a pivot in an entirely different direction.
There will be no map expansion in Version 6.6, but the upcoming patch is expected to bring three new characters to the Genshin Impact cast: Nicole, Lohen, and Prune. As a 5-Star Pyro Catalyst, Nicole will fulfill the role of a universal support option for the Hexenzirkel, with Varka benefiting the most from her ability kit. By contrast, Lohen is expected to be a 5-Star Cryo Polearm with a hypercarry playstyle, while Prune will be a dedicated Swirl support character as a 4-Star Anemo Catalyst.
