The latest playable-character snapshot for Nod-Krai contains 16 characters: 12 five-stars and four four-stars. The list below follows the playable-character table in an Icy Veins guide updated June 29, 2026, whose changelog notes an update with Luna VIII. It records each character’s rarity, element, and weapon. Nod-Krai’s wider story cast is larger than this roster, so characters shown in teasers are not automatically counted as playable.
Which characters count as playable Nod-Krai characters?
For this list, “Nod-Krai characters” means characters included in the guide’s playable-character table, not every person connected to the region’s storyline or shown in promotional footage. That distinction matters because a teaser can introduce characters long before a playable release, and some may remain unconfirmed for an extended period.
The guide describes Nod-Krai as an autonomous region south of Snezhnaya. That political description is attributed to the guide; a primary official page independently confirming the complete roster or the region’s status was not established. Treat the table as a dated roster snapshot rather than a permanent HoYoverse master list.
What is the complete Nod-Krai playable roster?
These are the 16 entries and the four attributes supplied by the June 29, 2026 guide. Rarity is shown as the game’s star rating; element and weapon are the categories listed in the same table.
| Character | Rarity | Element | Weapon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ineffa | 5-star | Electro | Polearm |
| Aino | 4-star | Hydro | Claymore |
| Flins | 5-star | Electro | Polearm |
| Lauma | 5-star | Dendro | Catalyst |
| Nefer | 5-star | Dendro | Catalyst |
| Durin | 5-star | Pyro | Sword |
| Jahoda | 4-star | Anemo | Bow |
| Columbina | 5-star | Hydro | Catalyst |
| Zibai | 5-star | Geo | Sword |
| Illuga | 4-star | Geo | Polearm |
| Varka | 5-star | Anemo | Claymore |
| Lohen | 5-star | Cryo | Polearm |
| Linnea | 5-star | Geo | Bow |
| Nicole | 5-star | Pyro | Catalyst |
| Prune | 4-star | Anemo | Catalyst |
| Sandrone | 5-star | Cryo | Claymore |
How many five-star and four-star characters are listed?
The 16-row table contains 12 five-stars and four four-stars. The four-star entries are Aino, Jahoda, Illuga, and Prune. Every other name in the table is listed as a five-star.
This is a count of the rows in the dated guide table, not a separately published statistic. If a future update adds or removes a character, both the total and the split will change.
Which elements are represented in Nod-Krai?
All seven playable elements appear in the snapshot, although they are not evenly distributed:
- Geo: Zibai, Illuga, and Linnea (three).
- Anemo: Jahoda, Varka, and Prune (three).
- Electro: Ineffa and Flins (two).
- Dendro: Lauma and Nefer (two).
- Hydro: Aino and Columbina (two).
- Cryo: Lohen and Sandrone (two).
- Pyro: Durin and Nicole (two).
The distribution is useful when you are checking whether a name has been omitted: every element has at least two representatives in this version of the roster, while Geo and Anemo have three each.
Which weapons do Nod-Krai characters use?
Polearms and catalysts are the most common weapon categories in the table, with four characters each. Claymores and swords have three each, while bows have two.
- Polearm: Ineffa, Flins, Illuga, and Lohen.
- Catalyst: Lauma, Nefer, Columbina, Nicole, and Prune. (The guide’s table lists five catalyst users; this is the largest group.)
- Claymore: Aino, Varka, and Sandrone.
- Sword: Durin and Zibai.
- Bow: Jahoda and Linnea.
Weapon counts describe the roster’s categories only. They do not establish a character’s combat role, build, best team, or signature weapon; those details require individual ability and equipment information that is outside this roster list.
How should you read the rarity, element, and weapon fields?
Rarity
A four-star or five-star label is the rarity shown in the guide. It is not a direct ranking of a character’s usefulness, and it does not by itself tell you how often a character appears on a banner or what investment a particular account needs.
Element
The element identifies the character’s elemental alignment. Use it as a quick cataloging field when filtering the list, not as a promise of a specific reaction, role, or damage pattern. Those conclusions require confirmed talents and kit details.
Weapon
The weapon entry identifies the character’s weapon class: sword, claymore, polearm, bow, or catalyst. It can help you sort a collection or check a planned account roster, but the category alone does not reveal attack range, rotation, or preferred artifacts.
Are every Nod-Krai character shown in a teaser playable?
No. A July 2025 report about the Song of the Welkin Moon teaser described a broader story cast, including characters whose future playability was uncertain at that time. A character can be important to Nod-Krai’s narrative and still be absent from the playable table.
When comparing a video, leak discussion, or story article with this list, first ask whether it is naming a playable release or simply a character appearance. Until a character is added to a current playable roster, do not count it as one of the 16 entries above.
How can you check whether the list is still current?
- Check the date. This snapshot is tied to the guide updated June 29, 2026, with a changelog note mentioning Luna VIII.
- Look for a new row. A later update may add a character, change a listed attribute, or remove an entry if the guide corrects an error.
- Separate playable status from story presence. Promotional and story material can expand the cast without changing the playable roster.
- Verify before making account decisions. Banner availability, reruns, and in-game release status are time-sensitive and are not established by this roster table alone.
Because the complete list comes from one secondary guide rather than an independently verified official roster page, recheck the source immediately before publishing a guide, planning pulls, or presenting the count as current.
What does this roster tell you about Nod-Krai’s character lineup?
The snapshot has a strong five-star majority: three quarters of the listed characters are five-stars. It also gives every element at least two entries, so the region is not represented by a single elemental identity in this list.
The weapon spread is similarly broad. Catalyst users form the largest category, followed by polearms, while bows are the least represented. These are descriptive patterns from the 16 listed rows, not statements about balance, banner frequency, or the strength of any individual character.
What is not established by this list?
- It does not prove that every character shown in Nod-Krai media will become playable.
- It does not provide release dates, banner schedules, constellations, talents, or recommended builds.
- It does not independently verify the guide’s regional or political description.
- It does not establish a permanent total; game rosters can change after the guide’s update date.
Use the table as a clean answer to “Which Nod-Krai characters are playable?” and consult current in-game or official release information for anything that depends on timing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Nod-Krai a nation in Genshin Impact?
The guide used for this roster calls Nod-Krai an autonomous region south of Snezhnaya. That wording is not independently confirmed here by a primary official page, so treat it as the guide’s regional description rather than a definitive political classification.
Why do some Nod-Krai names appear in videos but not this list?
Story and teaser material can introduce non-playable characters. The roster counts only names included in the guide’s playable-character table, so an appearance alone is not evidence of a playable release.
Can the number of Nod-Krai characters change?
Yes. New releases, corrections, or changes to a guide can alter the total and the rarity, element, or weapon entries. Recheck the roster’s update date before using the count for current planning.
Does a five-star label mean a character is stronger than every four-star?
No. Rarity is a classification, not a complete measure of account value or combat performance. Team role, kit, investment, and the content you are clearing all affect practical usefulness.
