After weeks of speculation and community leaks, Genshin Impact has officially revealed Jahoda, the next 4-Star Anemo Bow character set to join the playable roster in Version 6.2. The new addition continues the trend of elemental support characters bringing innovative healing and team synergy options to the table — this time, hailing from the mysterious region of Nod-Krai.
While details surrounding Jahoda’s abilities were initially shrouded in secrecy, recent information shared by HoYoverse and corroborated by beta testers has begun painting a clearer picture of her role in combat. From her playful personality to her intriguing mechanics that change depending on the elemental makeup of her party, Jahoda is shaping up to be a fan favorite even before her official release.
🌿 Jahoda: The Whirlwind of Nod-Krai
Described by HoYoverse as an “energetic and resourceful agent of the Curatorium of Secrets,” Jahoda brings a breath of fresh air — quite literally — to the battlefield.
According to her official reveal post shared on October 24, 2025, Jahoda is confirmed to be a 4-Star Anemo Bow user, with the following profile:
-
Rarity: ★★★★
-
Element: Anemo (Wind)
-
Weapon: Bow
-
Gender: Female
-
Constellation: Fragum
Jahoda’s personality has already resonated strongly with players. Known within Nod-Krai as a curious tinkerer and skilled scout, she’s said to have a mischievous streak and a deep fascination with the secrets of elemental convergence — traits that reflect directly in her gameplay design.
⚔️ A Dynamic Team Healer with Adaptive Buffs
Datamined information and closed beta impressions suggest that Jahoda’s kit revolves around healing, support, and adaptive team buffs based on elemental composition.
Jahoda reportedly provides party-wide healing through her Elemental Skill and generates a rotating buff depending on which elemental type is most prominent in her team. In the event of a tie, a priority system determines the buff’s type, in the following order: Pyro → Hydro → Electro → Cryo.
Each dominant element changes Jahoda’s secondary effects — for example, boosting attack speed with Pyro teams, increasing energy recharge with Hydro, amplifying elemental mastery with Electro, or providing cryo resistance with Cryo-focused squads.
Theorycrafters in the Genshin community have compared Jahoda to Sucrose and Jean, calling her a “hybrid of utility and healing.” Some even believe she could pair exceptionally well with Nefer and other new Nod-Krai characters due to her flexible team synergy.
💫 A Promising Banner Debut in Version 6.2
Genshin Impact officially announced that Jahoda will make her debut in Version 6.2, which is expected to release on December 3, 2025. However, it’s not yet confirmed whether she will appear in the first or second phase of the update.
The Version 6.2 Event Banners are expected to feature:
-
Durin (5-Star Pyro Support)
-
Venti (5-Star Anemo)
-
Xilonen (5-Star Universal Support)
-
Varesa (5-Star Electro)
With such a strong lineup, many players are already planning their Primogem savings carefully. Although 4-Star characters like Jahoda are generally not guaranteed, her appearance alongside major characters like Venti could make her banner an appealing pull for both new and veteran players.
Interestingly, HoYoverse confirmed that Durin will introduce a rare 5-Star Pyro Support archetype, while Venti will receive a long-awaited buff and new signature weapon, both of which could make Version 6.2 one of the most exciting updates of the year.
💎 Should You Pull for Jahoda?
Traditionally, Genshin Impact players are advised against targeting 4-Star units directly due to banner RNG — however, Jahoda might be an exception.
Her healing and buff mechanics, combined with the flexible synergy across multiple team compositions, make her a potentially valuable addition to both free-to-play and whale accounts. Moreover, those who enjoy experimenting with hybrid builds or multi-element team synergies will likely find Jahoda’s design refreshing.
Players who intend to invest in the Nod-Krai lineup — including upcoming characters like Columbina, who is expected to debut in Version 6.3 — may also benefit from collecting Jahoda’s constellations early. With Columbina teased as the final piece of many Nod-Krai team compositions, Jahoda could end up being a key enabler for those squads.
🧭 What We Know About Genshin Impact Version 6.2
Beyond Jahoda’s reveal, Genshin Impact’s Version 6.2 will expand on the Nod-Krai storyline, continuing the region’s dark-fantasy themes and introducing new world bosses, artifacts, and Spiral Abyss rotations.
According to the latest roadmap, Version 6.2 will:
-
Add at least two new world bosses related to Nod-Krai’s elemental experiments.
-
Feature new Anemo and Pyro artifact sets designed to synergize with characters like Jahoda and Durin.
-
Continue the Curatorium of Secrets questline, deepening the lore surrounding Nod-Krai’s enigmatic research institutions.
-
Bring holiday-themed limited events as the update coincides with the start of Genshin’s winter cycle.
While Version 6.2 is expected to conclude the Nod-Krai chapter’s mid-arc, Version 6.3 — slated for January 2026 — is rumored to introduce the long-awaited Columbina, potentially marking a narrative shift toward Genshin’s next major expansion.
🌬️ Jahoda and the Future of Anemo Characters
The Anemo element has always represented adaptability in Genshin Impact’s roster, and Jahoda looks set to carry that legacy forward. Much like Sucrose or Faruzan before her, she’s not about raw power, but rather team utility, creative synergy, and adaptability.
With her blend of crowd control, healing, and element-based buffs, Jahoda might become one of the most versatile 4-Stars added to the game since Bennett or Xingqiu. If her final numbers hold up after beta adjustments, she could easily become a staple in free-to-play team builds and elemental reaction setups alike.
Conclusion
With her official reveal, Genshin Impact fans now have a new reason to be excited for Version 6.2. Between Jahoda’s adaptive support mechanics, the stacked event banners, and the continuation of Nod-Krai’s captivating storyline, December is shaping up to be a huge month for the game.
As always, players should expect a developer livestream in late November to showcase Jahoda’s full kit, story quest, and banner details. Until then, it might be wise to start saving those Primogems — because Jahoda’s arrival could be one of the highlights of Genshin’s next era.
