All-New Storyline
Faruga: Legendary Quest
In Falga’s legendary quest to combat the Abyss, Falga searches this land for clues about the Northwind Knight and the wolves—because the Northwind Knight serves as a bridge between humans and wolves. Eagle-eyed travelers may also discover wolf remains near Lake Anvatinir in the “Fourth Moon” update, and may even learn the story of a mysterious Bloodstained Knight.In other words, the plot hole regarding the “Bloodstained” artifact set is finally going to be filled.
In the “Moon’s Fifth” update, the Traveler will experience an unexpected turn of events alongside Falga as a Mad Hunt disaster strikes Mondstadt, even the Wolf King of the North Wind is in danger. Meanwhile, the Mad Hunters of Nordkale—who had vanished after the Moon Hunters were defeated—have now resurfaced. Leading them is none other than the Bloodstained Knight.And among the troops led by Falga, there were also quite a few elite warriors; for example, this time we had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the deputy squad leader of the Fifth Squad of the Westwind Knights—Lornhis true form, and fought alongside him against the Mad Hunters. As can be seen from the Eye of God behind him, it isIce ElementWell,。
After completing Falga’s Legendary Quest, you can also earn Falga-related ascension materials and Primogems within the time limit, includingHook-Hook FruitSome of these items can be collected in advance at the Wolf Run in Mondstadt.
Faraga: The Great World Interaction
Faruga will also have some special interactions in the wider world, such as in the new location legend “The Lonely Wolf Longing for Home“Nearby, you’ll discover the ghostly image of a sword. When you touch it, you’ll face another Wolf Spirit shard of the Demon God Andrius. During the battle, you’ll have to face the enemy alone and use the terrain to fend off its various attacks. After clearing the stage, you’ll also receive Falga’s exclusiveSpecial Weapon Skins…It will also cause changes to Falga’s two weapons, as if they’ve been tainted by something. If you want to know the exact reason, you’ll have to wait until the “Moon Five” update to find out.

Brand-New Boss
The “Moon 5” update will also introduce a brand-new open-world boss, “Moon-Guarding Lizard of the Hidden Light“, and defeating it will reward you with materials needed for Falga’s Breakthrough.

New Character
5★．Faruga
Faraga isFive StarsWind ElementTwo-Handed Sword CharacterHuh? Is this a character who wields two two-handed swords—or even four-handed swords? Faruga is a damage-dealing main DPS who can deal two types of elemental damage simultaneously. The weapon in her left hand is fixed as Wind, while the weapon in her right hand transforms into other elements based on the elemental types of the characters in her party. Currently, it appears these elements can also be affected by Wind elemental diffusion, such asWater、Fire、Ice、Thunder. In fact, Lei Ze’s combat moves bear quite a few similarities to Falga’s—after all, Lei Ze has received a great deal of guidance from Falga. When Falga holds down the E key, he can perform a very powerful leap, and when casting an Elemental Skill, Falga enters “Raging Charge” mode, enchanting the weapon in his right hand with the corresponding element based on his teammates’ elemental types. This shifts his attack pattern to one where his left hand deals high damage and his right hand deals high damage, while also transforming his Elemental Skill intoEnhanced Combat Skills“The Four Winds Are About to Rise”; at the beginning, there is2 timesThe number of uses is displayed, and the icon changes to a wolf-head-like design.
After that, Falga’s basic attack while stationary can also…Reduce the cooldown time of enhanced combat skills, While in “Raging Charge” mode, after casting an Enhanced Battle Skill, Falga will unleash a special heavy attack called “Blue Devour” that does not consume Stamina. Upon activation, a cross-shaped sword mark resembling the Enhanced Battle Skill icon will appear on the ground.Since both the North Wind Knight and the wolf share a special bond, Falga’s attacks also incorporate wolf-related elements.Combined with Falga’s talent effect, when a character in the party triggersDiffusion ReactionAt the same time, you can also increase your own attack damage.And in *The Witch’s Lessons*, there’s also a page featuring Falga, so Falga can not only…Water、Fire、Ice、ThunderIn addition to forming teams with Elemental teammates, you can also pair up withMagic SystemTeam up with these characters.
Preliminary Gacha Recommendations for the “Four Moons” Pool
Let’s also summarize some preliminary gacha recommendations for the Moon 5 update, focusing primarily on the game’s systems.
Faraga
Faruga can be seen as a mixed Wind and Elemental Damage DPS similar to Chaska, except that Faruga is likely to primarily deal damage with a dual-element combination of Wind and one other element—unlike Chaska, who can fire projectiles with three elements. Therefore, if you have a high-constellation Chaska, you might actually consider skipping Faruga.Additionally, to make the most of Falga’s skill mechanics, it’s best to pair her with a secondary DPS teammate who can apply Water, Fire, Ice, or Lightning elements in the backline. Since Falga is part of the Archmage build, including teammates from that build will also be a plus. Currently, the best-suited teammate is, of course,Du LinSo basically, as long as you’ve previously drawn Dulin, you can consider drawing Falga.
Filins
Next up is Filins, who serves as the main carry for the Moon Shock team. Filins’ best teammate would be a dedicated support.Ineve…followed by the Moon Reaction Support Girl. So, if you have Inneve and need to strengthen your Moon Electro-type main DPS, you might also consider pulling for Felins. However, within the entire Moon Reaction system, Lolo’s top recommended combination would beThe Girl + Inéve…because these two characters can serve as quite versatile Moon Reaction support units. Pairing them with any Water, Grass, or Rock character allows them to convert the corresponding Moon Reaction damage; teaming up with the Dragon King or General Raiden enables Moon Electrocution, while pairing them with Noelle or Chiyo enables Moon Crystal, and so on. Team composition is quite flexible, so once you’ve obtained these two characters in the Northercale update, if you still need to bolster your Lunar Reaction damage output, you can choose your favorite Lunar Reaction main DPS.Compared to the other two main DPS characters for the Moon Reaction, Felins stands out primarily for her wide attack range; she can deal excellent AoE damage without needing to gather enemies. As for Nefiel, when built to the same high-star level, her damage ceiling is the highest among the three Moon Reaction characters, but this requires a relatively high gold investment to stack her stats, particularly for Rauma’s first ascension. Zibai, on the other hand, excels at single-target combat, and her team can be assembled without spending any gold. Therefore, you can choose your preferred Lunar Reaction DPS based on their characteristics; if you’re unsure, simply go with the “Maiden” and Inéve combo.If you already have Filins, you might also consider upgrading to 1-Star or getting the signature weapon. The 1-Star upgrade allows Filins to use her small Q attack one more time per round, adding an extra mini-burst to each cycle. As for the weapon, Lolo personally finds it more appealing for its appearance, but its energy recharge effect is also quite good, so you can choose which to upgrade based on your needs.
Sikork & Aikofei
Finally, there are Sirk and Aiko. These two characters are essentially a set—if you have Sirk, you must have Aiko. However, Aiko can be paired with almost any Ice C, such as Ayaka, Leosley, and others. Even when using the Ice Realm or if other Ice C characters are released later, there’s a high probability that there will still be a spot for Aikofi. However, the strongest Ice C character right now is undoubtedly Sikork, and Sikork is still very capable of tackling high-difficulty stages like the Shadow Realm Crisis, and she feels great to play. So if you’re considering Sirk, it’s best to pull for her as well—or just see which one you’re missing and fill that gap.If you don’t have Sikork’s signature weapon yet, I highly recommend picking one up during this rerun—even at 0+1, she can become a powerful Ice DPS. For Aikofi, once she reaches 0+0, you can decide whether to upgrade her to 1 constellation or get her signature weapon based on your needs. After all, the weapon pools are both being rerun, so you can’t go wrong no matter which one you choose. The rest depends on whether your Funina has reached 2-Star Ascension. If she hasn’t and you really enjoy using Sykork, Sykork’s 2-Star Ascension effect is also quite solid—it’s more than sufficient for tackling Shadow Realm: Perilous Battle at difficulties 5–6. You can decide based on the maximum difficulty of the content you plan to tackle.If we’re just talking about the greater world, then one original form for each would be enough.
Collection of Prayers
You can actually skip the final collection of wishes entirely, or XP players can decide for themselves if they want to fill in any gaps—the only one really worth considering is “Ode of End-Time Sighs“That versatile support bow.”
