Genshin Impact 6.0 leak reveals Nod-Krai's game-changing resonance buff

(Image via miHoYo) The Genshin Impact 6.0 hype train is already off the rails, and it's not even here yet. The upcoming Nod-Krai region isn't just bringing jaw-dropping landscapes and fresh characters like Flins, Lauma, and Aino. Leaks are hinting at a new resonance buff that could completely shake up team-building strategies. And no, you don't even need a full Nod-Krai squad to trigger it. Here's the tea. What the Leak Suggests According to trusted community sources, Nod-Krai characters will have a unique resonance effect that activates when non-Nod-Krai characters use their Elemental Skill or Burst. Once triggered, this buff increases Lunar Reaction damage for all party members for up to 20 seconds, with a rumored boost reaching 36% depending on team stats. Rumored Scaling Details If the leak is accurate, the resonance buff won't be a flat bonus—it'll scale differently based on element: Pyro, Electro, Cryo : +0.9% for every 100 ATK Hydro : +0.6% for every 1000 Max HP Geo : +1% for every 100 DEF Anemo & Dendro : +2.25% for every 100 Elemental Mastery This means stat-focused builds could heavily influence how powerful the buff becomes in combat. GENSHIN IS FINALLY BUFFING OLD CHARACTERS! Genshin 6.0+ Why Non-Nod-Krai Units Matter Interestingly, the buff can only be triggered by characters from other nations, making strong synergy with existing units possible. Supports like Yelan, Furina, Nahida, Kazuha, and Sucrose could become highly valuable in Nod-Krai teams. Players are already speculating optimal comps for upcoming characters like Lauma, Flins, and Aino—all expected to debut in 6.0. What This Could Mean for Gameplay If the leaks hold true, the Nod-Krai resonance could: Encourage mixed-region teams instead of mono-Nod-Krai squads. Increase the importance of stat-optimized supports. Boost overall reaction-based damage for more dynamic playstyles. It's a potential shift in how players approach team building, pushing for creative synergy between old favorites and new Nod-Krai arrivals. As always, this is unverified information. HoYoverse could tweak or entirely scrap the mechanic before release. Still, if implemented, the Nod-Krai resonance buff could be one of the most impactful meta changes in recent updates, especially for reaction-heavy teams. Until then, all eyes are on Version 6.0's reveal for confirmation. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
