Genshin Impact’s Version 6.1 update is here to enchant players with a mysterious new Sumeru scholar, a returning Hydro Archon, and a new game mode that could redefine how we enjoy the game. Between Nefer’s grand entrance, Furina’s rerun, and the long-awaited Miliastra Wonderland, Version 6.1 sure has a lot to offer! In this article, we’ll dive into all the update’s biggest highlights: Nefer and her signature weapon, the new user-generated playgrounds, and all the limited-time events worth grinding for.
New Character: Nefer
Hailing from Sumeru, Nefer is the brilliant head of the Curatorium of Secrets and a leading member of the Voynich Guild. Known for her unnerving intellect and cryptic foresight, Nefer channels her Dendro vision through fluid attacks and the mesmerizing Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights. Her combat style thrives on precision and rhythm, with her Shadow Dance and Slither states offering increased mobility and AoE Dendro attacks.
Her kit takes advantage of the Lunar-Bloom reaction, amplifying her Elemental Mastery and rewarding players who love to tinker with reaction-heavy team comps. Nefer is best paired with Hydro characters who can trigger consistent Bloom procs, making her a natural fit for aggressive team setups. Alongside her debut, Travelers will also be treated to the return of Furina, Fontaine’s dazzling Hydro Archon. As one of the game’s most versatile buffers and Hydro applicators, Furina’s return ensures players can create powerful synergy between her and Nefer.
Both 5-stars headline Phase 1, running from October 22 to November 11, 2025, joined by beloved 4-stars Xinqiu, Collei, and Yaoyao.

New Weapon: Reliquary of Truth
Nefer’s signature weapon, the Reliquary of Truth, is a 5-star Catalyst designed to complement her mastery over the Lunar-Bloom reaction. With a Base ATK of 542 and a whopping 88.2% Crit DMG at max level, this elegant tome is as deadly as it is refined. Its passive ability, Essence of Falsity, boosts Crit Rate and Elemental Mastery after casting an Elemental Skill, while triggering Lunar-Bloom grants additional Crit DMG bonuses. When both conditions are active, their effects increase by 50%, letting Nefer’s bursts of damage hit harder.
Even outside of Nefer’s hands, the Reliquary of Truth shines as a strong Catalyst for Elemental Mastery-based Dendro users or reaction-focused supports. If you love chaining Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions, this weapon’s stat balance makes it one of the most flexible additions to your arsenal.
New Game Mode: Miliastra Wonderland
For Travelers tired of doing daily commissions, HoYoverse finally has the cure: Miliastra Wonderland, a new permanent User-Generated Content (UGC) system that transforms Genshin Impact into your very own creative playground. Unlocked after completing Prologue: Act I – The Outlander Who Caught the Wind, you can access this mode through the Paimon menu or a quick-access button. Once inside, you can build, share, and explore all kinds of custom content, from parkour puzzles and co-op dungeons to PvP arenas and social hangouts.
Players will also meet their customizable avatar, the Manekin—a personal character that you can style however you wish. Think of it as your creative alter ego for exploring player-made worlds. You’ll even earn cosmetics through the Miliastra Pass, which rewards you for playing, creating, and sharing content.
Beyond just a fun distraction, Miliastra Wonderland gives Genshin Impact a bold new direction, offering endless replayability and better community interactions. If you’ve been looking for sandbox games with the classic Teyvat charm, this is for you!
