- There are eight Hexerei characters in Genshin Impact — Durin, Venti, Albedo, Mona, Klee, Sucrose, Razor, and Fischl.
- To become a Hexerei character, players must complete the tasks in the Witch’s Homework for that specific character.
- After unlocking it, these characters obtain new abilities and passives when alongside another Hexerei character in a party.
Genshin Impact Luna III brings a ton of changes to the base game, one of them being Hexerei characters. This is a new designation for certain characters in the game, and it comes with a ton of benefits. However, the entire concept of Hexerei characters can be a bit confusing for the average player. So, here is a quick explanation of what Hexerei is, and a list of all the Hexerei characters in Genshin Impact with their passives.
What is the New Hexerei Passive in Genshin Impact?
Genshin Impact Luna III adds the new Hexerei passives to the game. The Hexerei passives apply to the characters who are associated with the Hexenzirkel mages. In terms of lore, Venti realizes that there is a threat on the horizon, which forces him to acquire his hidden power. Venti plans out a way to do this with the Hexenzirkel mages. He and the Traveler head to the Thousand Winds Temple, where he finally acquires his hidden power, further emboldening the theory of Venti being Istaroth .
So, that’s how Venti got his kit buffs, but there is more. The Hexenzirkel Mages are deeply connected to Mondstadt, with Knights of Favonius even signing a pact with them that forces them to protect the Anemo capital when they are threatened. And with a new threat nearing, Alice introduces the Witch’s Homework for many of the Mondstadt characters.

The Witch’s Homework includes a series of tasks that must be completed with that character to unlock them as a Hexerei character . Once they become a Hexerei character, they unlock the Hexerei Secret Rite effect. A party must have two Hexerei characters to trigger this buff. So, what are these buffs? That’s explained in the following section.
All Genshin Impact Hexerei Characters and Their Passives
The Hexerei Secret Rite brings a ton of changes to eight characters of Genshin Impact. If you want a simpler explanation of the buffs received by each character, read our Genshin Impact old character buffs guide . But for those who prefer a more detailed understanding of the new character changes, here we have added all the details. There are eight Hexerei characters currently in Genshin Impact:
- Durin
- Venti
- Albedo
- Mona
- Klee
- Sucrose
- Razor
- Fischl
More characters will likely be added to the Hexerei list in the future, especially as more Hexenzirkel mages are released. With that said, now let’s take a look at the kit changes for each of the Hexerei characters in detail.
1. Durin
2. Venti
Venti has received the most changes with the new Hexerei Secret Rite. It has now transformed into a very strong Anemo DPS. For his kit, the new buffs change how his Normal Attack and many of the Constellations work. For more details, look at the table below.
3. Albedo
Albedo is another character who has received a ton of changes after becoming a Hexerei character. His passive allows his Skill to create Silver Isotoma, which can generate Transient Blossoms, increasing its usage and uptime massively. Further, he also deals a lot more damage now and is viable for many teams.
4. Klee
Klee has always been considered among the worst 5-star characters in Genshin Impact, but that has finally changed. With her addition as a Hexerei character, she finally deals consistent damage and has a faster attack animation.
5. Mona
Mona has also received a good buff, increasing Vaporize’s elemental damage based on he number of Astral Glow of Mercury she consumes. Also, her charged attack now extends the Omen duration on enemies, increasing its uptime in fights.
6. Razor
Razor’s buff is more straightforward than the other Hexerei characters. He is getting a straight-up damage buff after using his Burst, which is already his bread and butter in Genshin Impact. Being an Electro DPS, getting a DMG buff is not bad and does make Razor more viable to play.
7. Fischl
Fischl’s buff is also very simple to understand, but tremendously useful at the same time. She simply increases either ATK or Elemental Master of all party members, based on whether an Overloaded reaction or Electro/Lunar-Charged reaction is triggered nearby.
8. Sucrose
Sucrose is another character who has become infinitely better with the new Hexerei Secret Rite buff. She now provides a teamwide DMG buff to normal attack, charged attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst of all allies.
