HoYoverse has officially shared the first part of the “Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana” New Weapon Overview for Genshin Impact Version “Luna VII”, confirming the arrival of a brand new 5-star Catalyst weapon called “Angelos’ Heptades.” The weapon will become available through the upcoming Epitome Invocation banner following the release of Version 6.6 on May 20.
The announcement immediately attracted attention from players preparing for the Luna VII update, especially after HoYoverse confirmed that Angelos’ Heptades will receive a massive drop-rate boost during the event period. Many fans already believe the new Catalyst is designed specifically for Nicole, whose promotional campaign has rapidly turned her into one of the most anticipated characters of the current update cycle.
The visual design of Angelos’ Heptades has already generated strong reactions across the community due to its elegant and mystical appearance. The weapon appears heavily connected to the angelic imagery and symbolic themes surrounding Nicole’s character, including references to wisdom, guidance and hidden truths that have repeatedly appeared throughout Luna VII promotional material.
Community discussions quickly focused on the possible synergy between the Catalyst and Nicole’s Pyro abilities. Although theorycrafting is still ongoing, many players expect the weapon to become her signature option due to the timing of the release and the thematic similarities between the two reveals. Fans are especially interested in how the Catalyst may interact with Luna VII’s newly introduced combat mechanics and artifact sets.
The announcement is part of HoYoverse’s broader marketing push leading into the launch of Version Luna VII, officially titled “Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana.” Recent weeks have included a massive amount of promotional content including new character trailers, gameplay showcases, event previews and the highly discussed Snezhnaya teaser.
Players online also noticed how the naming style of Angelos’ Heptades continues the philosophical and symbolic tone introduced across the Luna VII storyline. The update’s themes surrounding dreams, forbidden knowledge, angels and distorted realities have become one of the most distinctive narrative directions seen in recent Genshin Impact content.
The upcoming Epitome Invocation banner is expected to become one of the most competitive weapon banners in recent months due to Nicole’s popularity and the strong visual presentation of the new Catalyst. Many players are already planning their Primogem savings carefully after the Version 6.6 Special Program confirmed multiple high profile characters including Nicole, Lohen and Prune.
As always, the release of a new signature weapon has also sparked debates regarding weapon value, free-to-play alternatives and overall banner priorities. Theorycrafters and content creators are expected to begin detailed testing immediately after the update launches to determine how powerful Angelos’ Heptades truly is within the current meta.
Outside of gameplay, the reveal further strengthens anticipation surrounding Nicole herself. Her promotional campaign has consistently mixed humor, mystery and surreal storytelling, making her one of the standout characters of the Luna VII era. The release of a unique signature Catalyst only adds to the growing excitement surrounding her official debut.
With the launch of Version Luna VII rapidly approaching, players are now preparing for the arrival of the new Epitome Invocation banner and the opportunity to obtain Angelos’ Heptades when the update releases worldwide on May 20.
