Citlali's outfit, \"Star and Smoke Night Talk,\" shows her in casual pajamas, while Charlotte's outfit, \"Harlock Variation,\" is a detective-style look. Citlali's outfit will be sold in the in-game shop, and Charlotte's outfit will be a free reward from the new \"Spirit Shadow Festival\" event, where players can also obtain the 4-star character Charlotte herself. The Luna VIII update, titled \"Return to Summer! Shadows? Spirit Festival!,\" also introduces the Fatui Harbinger Sandrone as a playable 5-star Cryo character, alongside a rerun for Citlali. New gameplay features include a spaceship for aerial exploration across Teyvat and a floor display function for maps. The update will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android.","whyItMatters":"The update pairs a paid cosmetic for a popular character with a free event outfit, continuing HoYoverse's pattern of mixing monetized and earnable cosmetics to keep the player base engaged.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Luna VIII preview program aired on June 18, 2026. The update is titled \u0026#34;Return to Summer! Shadows? Spirit Festival!\u0026#34; and introduces the Fatui Harbinger Seventh, Sandrone, as a playable 5-star Cryo character. Sandrone is voiced by Honda Mariko and wields a claymore. Her kit revolves around a Polar Star Field that enhances the entire team\u0026#39;s Electro-Charged reaction damage. She commands an automatic machine called \u0026#34;Fazio,\u0026#34; which accumulates \u0026#34;Computational Load\u0026#34; with each charged attack; when the attack limit is reached, Fazio\u0026#39;s attack interval extends. Her Elemental Skill lets her move agilely within the Polar Star Field while shooting enemies, reducing Computational Load to prevent Fazio from overloading. Her Elemental Burst unleashes a barrage of fire, and the \u0026#34;Negative Temperature Energy Rays\u0026#34; damage dealt inside the field counts as Electro-Charged reaction damage.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandrone will debut in the first half of the event wish, alongside a rerun for Citlali.
