Genshin Impact Sets January 14 Launch for Luna IV, Adding Three Characters and the Lunar-Crystallize Reaction

The patch blends a Piramida story climax with Lantern Rite giveaways.

Overview

  • HoYoverse confirmed three debuts tied to the new Lunar systems: Columbina (5‑star Hydro Catalyst), Zibai (5‑star Geo Sword), and Illuga (4‑star Geo Polearm).
  • Luna IV introduces Lunar‑Crystallize, a Geo‑plus‑Hydro reaction that spawns Moondrifts and, after three triggers, activates Moondrift Harmony to deal Geo damage with CRIT potential.
  • Event Wishes run in two phases with Columbina alongside an Ineffa rerun first, then Zibai with a Neuvillette rerun and Illuga as a 4‑star rate‑up in the second phase.
  • Nod‑Krai expands north to Piramida as the Archon Quest moves to a confrontation with Il Dottore, who is reported from the Special Program recaps to be added as a new Weekly Boss.
  • Lantern Rite returns with 1,600 Primogems via mail, 10 Intertwined Fates from logins, a free 4‑star Liyue character, a new Yaoyao outfit, and the livestream’s short‑lived redemption codes.
