Genshin Impact Teases Nicole And Lohen For Luna VII, Version 6.6
After their timely appearances in the recent Nod-Krai and Mondstadt storylines, Nicole and Lohen are officially confirmed as playable characters for the upcoming Luna VII update in Genshin Impact. The playable debuts were revealed shortly after the release of Luna VI, which included the long-awaited arrival of Mondstadt's major shipping hub-Dorman Port.

Many of the stories Nicole envisions begin with a phrase as old as stories themselves: "Long, long ago..."
Perhaps, for some authors, "long ago" is less the threshold of a tale than a refuge… pic.twitter.com/FVWXlHGk4m
Being a silent yet verbose individual, Nicole had many stories to share from her timeless past. Alice sent her on a mission to help the Traveler save the Moon Goddess from The Doctor's plans. She also accepted Varka's deal to use her powers to save Nod-Krai, and, in turn, the rest of Teyvat.
Oh, we kept in touch until a short while ago. I asked her to recommend some books for me to read to the kuuhenki. She sent a whole lot and even gave me detailed explanations about the inspiration and setting for each one. I asked her when I might be able to read a book she had authored herself, but then I suddenly stopped hearing from her. Perhaps... she went off to write one
Nicole might be a literal angel, but the official description states that she possesses a Pyro Vision, which is quite unusual for a mythical entity like her. How she obtained her vision remains a mystery, but what's certain is that an important event occurred during her millennia of existence-one that even predates the sovereigns who ruled before the archons.

Lohen is the decisive yet ruthless Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius ranged company. Despite the recent advancement of Mondstadt's firearm technology, Lohen prefers swift assaults and sharp blades, emulating that of a rogue rather than a ranger. In-game, Lohen is a spear user possessing a Cryo vision, similar to Rosaria.
Mondstadt Is Back On The Menu
Nicole's arrival marks a shift in team building regarding Mondstadt characters. In Version Luna III, several Mondstadt characters received indirect "buffs" via the Hexerei synergy, which is similar to Elemental Resonance or Nod-Krai's Moonsign synergy. Nicole is a witch of Hexenzirkel herself and is largely expected to have immense synergy with many of the Hexerei characters. This may even bring 1.X characters back to meta relevance, notably with hypercarries such as Klee and Razor.
For Lohen, there isn't any official confirmation yet about his kit and moveset. However, being a Cryo wielder is an auspicious sign that he will, at the very least, be versatile for team building.
