Nefer is scheduled to be released in Version 6.1 Phase 1, which launches on October 22, 2025. She will be available alongside Furina's rerun banner until November 11, 2025.

What is the best way to farm Moonfall Silver?

The most efficient way to farm Moonfall Silver is to follow optimized routes on Hiisi Island, focusing on Frostmoon Enclave, Crab Tsar's Palace, Light-Bathed Platform, and Moon-Bathed Courtyard. Use characters with local specialty detection passives and check back every 48-72 hours for respawns.

Can I start farming Nefer materials before her release?

Yes! You can pre-farm Nagadus Emerald materials, Mora, Character EXP materials, and Warrant materials (if accessible in your region). However, Moonfall Silver and Radiant Antler will only be available after the Luna II update releases.

How much resin do I need to fully build Nefer?

You'll need approximately 2,400 resin to farm all materials for Nefer's complete build (ascension + talents + weapon). This doesn't include Mora farming, which requires additional time investment through daily activities.

What team compositions work best with Nefer?

Nefer excels in teams that maximize her Lunar Bloom reactions. Recommended compositions include:

• Nefer + Nahida + Kazuha + Bennett (Hyperbloom)
• Nefer + Raiden + Kazuha + Zhongli (Quickswap with shields)
• Nefer + Alhaitham + Nahida + Kokomi (Double Dendro with healing)

Is Nefer's signature weapon worth pulling for?

Reliquary of Truth is Nefer's best-in-slot weapon, providing significant Elemental Mastery scaling and passive benefits that synergize perfectly with her kit. However, F2P alternatives like Sacrificial Jade or The Widsith can still perform well at lower investment levels.

How do I get Ascended Sample: Rook?

Ascended Sample: Rook is obtained by defeating the weekly boss "The Game Before the Gate" in the Unresolved Chess Game domain near Mondstadt. You can challenge this boss once per week and receive materials based on your World Level.

What are Nefer's constellations worth pulling for?

Nefer's most valuable constellations are C1 (Planning Breeds Success) for increased Lunar Bloom DMG and C2 (Observation Feeds Strategy) for enhanced skill effects and EM bonuses. C4 and C6 provide significant gameplay improvements but are less essential for basic functionality.
