| The Millelith Mechanics

The Millelith series, which was the earliest to appear, marked the beginning of special in-game mechanics. Its weapon effect bonus requires the team to include characters from the Liyue region to activate. However, the Millelith series only launched a Claymore and a Polearm, making its overall impact relatively weak. Nevertheless, in the era where the Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Zhongli, and Yelan team still dominated, a R5 Lithic Spear could compete in stats with a 5-star weapon.

| The Pneum and ousia Mechanics

Next up is Fontaine's Pneuma and Ousia mechanic. The principle behind this is that all Fontainians were created through the transformation of the Primordial Seawater, which is why every Fontaine character inherently possesses either Ousia or Pneuma energy.

When this news was first announced, it caused quite a stir. Many players worried that older characters would be restricted as a result. It was only when the mechanic finally launched that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This is because the Pneuma and Ousia system mainly focuses on exploration, puzzle-solving, and paralyzing enemies. It does not directly boost a character's stats in actual combat. Therefore, as long as a character's damage is sufficient, even older characters can overpower content. Consequently, the influence of the Pneuma and Ousia mechanic is also not particularly significant.

| The Nightsoul Mechanics

Compared to the previous Millelith and Pneuma/Ousia systems, the nightsoul mechanic is clearly more powerful, featuring not only an entirely new energy system but also various buff effects.

Open World Exploration

Whether it's Mualani's Surfshark Wavebreaker, Kinich's Canopy Hunter: Riding High, or the Pyro Archon and Chasca's mid-air flight, these demonstrate that the nightsoul mechanic grants characters extremely high mobility for traversing the map.

Exclusive Artifact Sets

Both the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City and the Obsidian Codex possess special buffs augmented by nightsoul. The former offers a Damage Bonus, and the latter provides a generous Crit Rate increase. The numerical values provided are quite substantial.

Nightsoul Burst

This effect automatically triggers when a Natlan character is present in the party and deals damage to an enemy.

The Nightsoul Burst buffs are not identical across all characters. For example, Mavuika and Varesa gain an ATK increase, Xilonen gains a DEF increase, and the the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City artifact set effect restores a character's Elemental Energy.

Therefore, Nightsoul Burst can be seen as a custom-made buff for Natlan characters, where each person has a unique and independent effect.

* Besides the nightsoul mechanic itself, Natlan also has its own exclusive Primordial Enemies that tie into the night system. These are the creatures commonly known as "TenebrousPapilla" enemies. In front of them, brute forceis no longer the optimal universal solution. Only a high attack frequency combined with the three-times shield-breaking efficiency of nightsoul characters can gain an advantage.

| The Moonsign Mechanics

The Moonsign mechanic, which is exclusive to characters from the region of Nodkrai. It can be categorized into three main forms:

The Moonsign Buff

The buff can switch between two states—Moonsign: Nascent Gleam and Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam.Depending on the number of NodKrai characters in the party. Reaching the Ascendant Gleam state grants an additional bonus.

Character's Moonsign Talents

The talents of different characters also provide varied benefits for the Nascent Gleam and Ascendant Gleam states. For instance, Lauma's Nascent Gleam increases the Crit Rate and Crit DMG of Bloom reactions, while her Ascendant Gleam boosts the Crit Rate and Crit DMG of Lunar-Bloom. Conversely, Nefer and Flins gain an increase in their personal Elemental Mastery and Damage.

Uniqueness of Lunar Reactions

Currently, only characters from the NodKrai region can trigger the Lunar Electro-Charged or Lunar-Bloom reactions. It is highly likely that other Lunar Reaction systems, such as Lunar Crystallize, will be introduced later. Furthermore, the two existing artifact sets are also bound to NodKrai characters.

* Beyond the uniqueness of the characters, even Primordial Enemies like the Wild Hunt also require the Moonsign： Ascendant Gleam effect to be quickly defeated. Otherwise, it takes significantly more time to finish the fight, which is quite painful for older teams that lack sufficient damage.

Therefore, the Moonsign system can substantially boost a character's strength and mechanics, giving it the highest value among all the special regional mechanics.

| The Hexerei: Secret Rite

Finally, there is Mondstadt's newly launched Hexerei: Secret Rite. To activate its effect, the party must include two Hexerei characters. The primary function of this mechanic is to strengthen character skills to boost either their damage or support capabilities.

Currently, eight characters have joined the Hexerei team, and it is possible that new characters, such as the Hexenzirkel's Nicole and Alice, will be added later.

The Hexerei: Secret Rite mechanic has indeed brought a significant upgrade to Mondstadt's older characters, but there is still a clear gap when compared to the currently strong characters. If corresponding artifact sets or stronger characters are introduced later, the Hexerei: Secret Rite mechanic will certainly become more powerful than it is now.

| Conclusion

In summary, the special mechanics of new regions are no longer just for exploration or minor buffs. They are increasingly becoming the core factor that determines the combat strength of new characters and teams, establishing a tighter counter-relationship with the design of new enemies.
