☄️ What’s New in Version 6.6 “Luna VII”
🆕 Three New Characters
| Character | Element | Path |
|---|---|---|
| Nicole | Pyro | New 5-star debut |
| Lohen | Cryo | New 5-star debut |
| Prune | Anemo | New 5-star debut |
A three-character launch in a single patch is rare — Luna VII is one of the biggest character debuts HoYoverse has shipped this year. Save your Primogems strategically.
Phase 1 Banners
- Nicole (Pyro) debut banner
- Returning 5-star rerun
Phase 2 Banners
- Lohen (Cryo) + Prune (Anemo) debut banners
- Additional rerun
Pull Priority (Quick Guide)
- 🎯 Pull for Nicole if: you need a top-tier Pyro DPS or main carry. Pyro slots have been underserved in recent patches.
- 🎯 Pull for Lohen if: you run Freeze or Melt comps and want a fresh Cryo enabler.
- 🎯 Pull for Prune if: your Anemo supports are stale (no off-field crowd-control + VV shred specialist).
- ⏸️ Skip Luna VII if: you’re saving for Version 7.0 in Snezhnaya (August 12, 2026) — the long-awaited Tsaritsa region.
🌨️ Looking Ahead: Version 7.0 — Snezhnaya (August 12, 2026)
HoYoverse confirmed Version 7.0 launches August 12, 2026 and finally takes Travelers into Snezhnaya — the long-anticipated home of the Tsaritsa and the Fatui. This is the biggest regional release since Sumeru, so plan your Primogem saving accordingly.
💡 Saving target: If you skip Luna VII completely, you can stockpile ~25,000+ Primogems by August. That’s well over a pity pull on day-one 7.0 banners.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do the Luna VII livestream codes expire?
May 11, 2026. Redeem all three (BACKTOSUMERU, NicolaCoCo, 8BQ9CMMVS5PM) before then or they’re gone forever.
What Adventure Rank do I need to redeem codes?
Adventure Rank 10 is the minimum. The Redeem Code menu doesn’t even appear in-game below AR 10, and the web redemption page will reject your account.
Why didn’t my code work?
Three common reasons: (1) the code expired, (2) you’ve already redeemed it on this account, or (3) typo — codes are case-sensitive, so always copy and paste.
Is Nicole, Lohen, or Prune the best pick?
Depends on roster needs. Nicole is the safest pull for accounts that need a strong Pyro main DPS. Lohen fits Freeze/Melt enablers. Prune is the niche but high-ceiling Anemo support pick.
When is Snezhnaya releasing?
Version 7.0 launches August 12, 2026 — confirmed during the Luna VII Special Programme.
Are there codes for free 5-star characters?
No. HoYoverse has never issued a code granting a 5-star character. Any site claiming this is a scam.
