· Version 6.6 will introduce three new units: Nicole, Roen, and the new 4-star character Prune.
· According to leaks, the first half is expected to feature the new 5-star Nicole and a rerun of Durin. The second half is anticipated to include Roen, a rerun of Mabuiika, and the 4-star Prune.
· While rerun banners can be volatile, this is the most likely lineup based on the current accuracy of information.

· Prune is an Anemo Catalyst support and sub-DPS.
· When using her Elemental Skill, Bell will follow the active character, periodically dealing Anemo DMG and additional DMG upon triggering Swirl reactions.
· Her Elemental Burst increases Bell's duration, creating more Swirl opportunities.
· She provides the Viridescent Venerer set bonus and an ATK-based Normal Attack DMG bonus. At C6, she can fulfill a role similar to Bennett in a Witch of Flames party.

· Nicole is a 5-star Pyro Catalyst character who functions as a pure buffer and shielder.
· Her Elemental Skill provides a party-wide shield and an ATK buff based on stats. Additionally, she grants an extra ATK buff to on-field characters who are part of the Witch of Flames set or are currently on-field.
· Her Elemental Burst has a low energy cost, lasts for 20 seconds, and triggers coordinated attacks when the on-field character attacks. These attacks scale with Crit Rate, DMG Bonus, and Elemental Stats. Importantly, they do not apply Pyro, thus not interfering with existing damage rotations.
· At C2, she reduces elemental RES by 20% based on the on-field character's element. Her pure damage amplification can surpass Bennett's.

· Roen is a 5-star Cryo Polearm on-field DPS.
· His skill set involves accumulating 'Joy Stacks' through his own attacks and 'Victory Stacks' from damage dealt by off-field teammates, to unleash enhanced Cryo attacks.
· He is a team-cooperative character whose damage output increases with higher team-wide damage.
· While synergy with Durin in a Melt team is anticipated, there is no clear data in the current beta files regarding his banner type (Standard or Limited).
· If he is a Standard character, the pressure to pull will be lower. However, if he is Limited, strategic decision-making will be necessary.

· Nicole is a must-pull support character.
· Prune is expected to perform exceptionally well among 4-star characters.
· Roen's banner status is the biggest variable for version 6.6, and we need to keep an eye on future announcements.
