Which New Characters Are Debuting in Version 6.7?
Phase 1: Sandrone (The Marionette)
Sandrone arrives as a 5-star Cryo Claymore user, but her playstyle is anything but traditional. Instead of slow swings, her kit focuses on a high-tech Charged Attack that summons "Fagio" and switches it to Decoding mode, unleashing a sweeping fire attack and periodically firing condensed beams that deal AoE Cryo DMG.
She is the core of the new Stellar-Conduct mechanic. When party members trigger Superconduct, it is converted to Stellar-Conduct, increasing Base Stellar-Conduct DMG by 0.7% for every 100 ATK she has (up to a 14% maximum). Additionally, being within a Polestar Field allows her to enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state. The Marionette uses a Decoding Power system: her attacks continuously build a gauge up to 100 points, triggering a Power Overdrive mode with longer attack intervals. You must use her Elemental Skill (Formule Phenomenale: Differential Analysis) to board the Tea Party Tactical Assault Hovermech, which rapidly decreases Fagio's Decoding Power by 40 points initially and 10 points per 0.1s, making her rotation a fast-paced game of managing Decoding Power while maintaining maximum field time.
Phase 2: Currently Unknown
Information regarding whether a new character will debut in the second half of this update is currently unknown. We will update this section once official details or reliable leaks are available.
What New Weapons Are Releasing in Version 6.7?
Sandrone’s Signature Weapon (Claymore)
The official name for this weapon is currently unknown, but the stats are specialized for ATK-scaling carries. Its high base attack and crit damage make it a massive "stat stick."
- Base ATK: 674
- Substat: 44.1% Crit DMG
- Passive Effect: When the wielder is on the field, unleashes the Instanced Calculation effect to increase ATK by 16%. During this time, hitting an opponent with a Charged Attack triggers Sampling Calculation, granting a 12% Stellar-Conduct Reaction DMG Bonus for 5s (Max 3 stacks, 1 stack every 0.2s). At 3 Sampling stacks, gains the Overclock effect, which provides an additional 24% Stellar-Conduct Reaction DMG Bonus.
Phase 2 Signature Weapons
The featured 5-star weapons for the second half are currently unknown. While reruns often feature the signature weapons of the characters (like Engulfing Lightning for the Raiden Shogun), the full lineup remains to be updated.
Which Characters Are Rerunning in Version 6.7?
This patch is an absolute Primogem sink for veteran players and collectors:
- Columbina (Phase 1): She shares the spotlight in the first half alongside the new Harbinger. This is a rare chance to snag two Harbingers in a single phase.
- Citlali (Phase 2): Returning in the second half, this character remains a powerhouse for players looking to round out their elemental synergies.
- Raiden Shogun (Phase 2): The Electro Archon is back! She is still the gold standard for Energy Recharge and massive burst damage.
Are the Version 6.7 Characters Worth Pulling?
- New Characters: Sandrone is a high-value pull if you want a unique Cryo carry experience. Her Decoding mode mechanic is easy to use and provides consistent damage. At C0, she is very F2P-friendly, though her C1 and C2 offer significant power spikes for the Stellar-Conduct mechanic.
- Rerun Characters: Raiden Shogun is a must-pull for any account lacking a universal battery. Columbina and Citlali are excellent additions depending on your specific team gaps.
- Phase 2 New Entries: Verdict currently unavailable as details are still pending.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the predicted release date for Version 6.7?
The update is estimated to launch on June 30, 2026, following the usual six-week maintenance schedule.
Does pity carry over to Sandrone's banner?
Yes, this banner uses the standard limited character pity system. If you have a guaranteed 50/50 saved up, you can use it to pull the new Cryo carry immediately.
How does Sandrone's Decoding Power mechanic work?
As this new carry uses her Charged Attack in Decoding mode, Fagio's Decoding Power gauge fills up. When it hits the 100-point limit, Fagio enters Power Overdrive mode, slowing down attack intervals and preventing a return to Decoding mode. You must activate her Elemental Skill to board her tactical hovermech, which rapidly drains the gauge so she can return to her optimal damage cycle.
