The wait is finally over—Sandrone, one of the Fatui Harbingers that Travelers have been eager to meet for years, has officially arrived in Genshin Impact Version 6.7, “Luna VIII.” This long-awaited debut introduces an entirely new Cryo playstyle centered on the Stellar-Conduct reaction, giving players another powerful DPS to master. If you’ve been saving your Primogems for the mysterious Marionette, you’re in for a treat because Luna VIII has plenty to offer!
Fan-favorite Cryo support Citlali is also making her return, giving players another chance to recruit one of Natlan’s most reliable allies.
Beyond the character banners, Version 6.7 also introduces the new Lightrace Wish banner, Sandrone’s signature claymore, and fun seasonal events packed with Primogems and valuable rewards. Here’s everything you need to know before diving into Luna VIII.
New Character: Sandrone
Known by her Harbinger title Marionette, Sandrone is the Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers and one of Snezhnaya’s most enigmatic figures, renowned for her fascination with automatons and artificial life. She enters Genshin Impact as a 5-star Cryo claymore DPS who thrives on the new Stellar-Conduct mechanic, an upgraded version of Superconduct unlocked through her passive talents. Her Charged Attack summons Fagio, a mechanical companion that continuously deals Cryo damage while building power, rewarding players who stay on the field and carefully manage their rotations.
Her Elemental Skill lets her hover above the battlefield while firing Prismatic Resonance Cannons that apply Cryo and trigger Stellar-Conduct damage. At the same time, her Elemental Burst caps off her rotation with a devastating barrage ending with the Convective Inhibition Ray, whose damage scales with accumulated Refined Tactics stacks. Altogether, Sandrone is an on-field hypercarry that excels in Cryo-Electro teams capable of triggering Stellar-Conduct over and over for explosive damage.

Sharing the spotlight is Citlali, the respected elder of Natlan’s Masters of the Night-Wind. Beloved for her strong shields, reliable Cryo application, and excellent support capabilities, Citlali remains one of the region’s most versatile characters for reaction-focused teams. If you missed her first banner, now’s the chance to add her to your roster. During Phase 1, Sandrone and Citlali will be joined by the featured 4-star characters Diona, Beidou, and Freminet until July 21, 2026.
Lightrace Wish
One of Version 6.7’s biggest additions is the Lightrace Wish, a brand-new Event Wish format that gives Travelers more freedom when chasing premium characters and weapons. Instead of being locked into a single featured reward, you’ll be able to choose and chart a course toward the boosted 5-star character or weapon you want from the lineup. It’s a welcome quality-of-life improvement that gives players greater control over their pulls.
The available 5-star characters are:
- Yumemizuki Mizuki
- Wriothesley
- Cyno
- Yae Miko
- Qiqi
Meanwhile, the featured 5-star weapons include:
- Sunny Morning Sleep-In
- Cashflow Supervision
- Staff of the Scarlet Sands
- Kagura’s Verity
- Skyward Blade
Whether you’re strengthening an existing team composition or hunting for signature equipment, Lightrace Wish offers one of the most player-friendly banner formats Genshin Impact has introduced to date.
New Weapon: A Teaspoon of Transcendence
No signature character release is complete without a signature weapon. A Teaspoon of Transcendence is a 5-star claymore boasting 674 Base ATK and 44.1% Crit DMG, making it a powerful offensive option from the moment it’s equipped. Its passive effect, White Fairy’s Queening, increases the wielder’s ATK by 28%, while every Charged Attack grants Surmount, increasing Stellar-Conduct DMG by 16% for five seconds. The effect stacks up to three times, perfectly complementing Sandrone’s Charged Attack-focused gameplay and allowing her to maximize the damage of her signature reaction.
New Events
Sunny Summer Fontinalia
Summer is in full swing as the Fontinalia Film Festival returns to Fontaine, bringing with it a relaxing, management-style event filled with rewards. Travelers will oversee a special aquarium by diving underwater in Operation Deep-Dive Treasure, collecting aquatic life in Kaleido-Catch, and restoring valuable items to sell through Curio Ledger.
As you earn funds and upgrade your venue, you’ll increase its popularity and unlock a treasure trove of rewards, including Primogems, a Crown of Insight, and a free copy of Charlotte. Her new outfit, Hurlock Variations, can also be earned during the event before becoming available in the Character Outfit Shop after Version 6.7 ends. Better yet, completing the accompanying Story Quest rewards additional Primogems, Character materials, and Fontaine local specialties, making this one of the most rewarding flagship events in recent updates.
Ley Line Overflow
Need to stock up on Mora or EXP materials? Ley Line Overflow lets Travelers claim double rewards from Blossoms of Wealth and Blossoms of Revelation up to three times each day by spending Original Resin. The bonus doubles everything normally earned—including Adventure EXP and Companionship EXP—making it one of the most efficient farming periods in the update.
Between Sandrone’s long-awaited arrival, Citlali’s welcome return, the flexible new Lightrace Wish banner, and a lineup of rewarding limited-time events, Version 6.7 “Luna VIII” offers plenty for both longtime Travelers and returning players. Whether you’re experimenting with the new Stellar-Conduct mechanic, expanding your roster, or simply stocking up on valuable resources, there’s no shortage of adventures waiting in Teyvat.
