New Banners
HoYoverse has confirmed that Nefer will debut as a 5-star Dendro character in the Luna II update. As the boss of the Curatorium of Secrets, she plays an important role in the storyline of Nod-Krai. Apart from her, leaks from HomDGCat suggest that Arlecchino, Furina, and Zhongli may return to the title during the next patch.
New Weapons
As always, the next update will also introduce a brand-new 5-star weapon for the featured character. Leaks indicate that Nefer may be a Catalyst user, and her signature weapon may be called the Reliquary of Truth. It is likely to be a Crit DMG weapon that may also provide its user with some Crit Rate and Elemental Mastery.
