What This Means for Players
Primogem Planning
With Primogems being scarce in the last two updates, players will need to make important decisions heading into Version 5.8. The massive character influx starting with 6.0 requires strategic saving.
Meta Implications
The introduction of new reaction types and weapon-element combinations will likely shift team compositions significantly. Hydro Claymore users and enhanced Crystallize reactions could make previously niche characters more viable.
Official Timeline Confirmation
Version 5.8 is set to launch on July 30, 2025, while the gates of Nod-Krai will open on September 10, 2025. This gives players approximately six weeks to prepare for the region’s debut.
Preparation Tips
Start saving Primogems now if you’re interested in Nod-Krai characters. With multiple new 5-star debuts expected across versions 6.0-6.6, free-to-play players should prioritize their most wanted characters.
