Unlike its sister games, Genshin still gives us four-star characters - and helpful ones at that. Genshin Impact's Illuga is a lunar-crystallize-based supporter who can make Zibai, Columbina, and more shine in a team based around the elemental reaction. He gets an official introduction in the main story quests, but let's take a look at who he is. By the way, it's pronounced 'it-loo-ah'.
As a four-star, he may be hard to get a hold of - so make sure you use the new Genshin Impact codes for some extra primogems. You can also check out our Genshin Impact tier list to see how we rank all of Nod-Krai's characters.
Here's everything we know so far about Genshin Impact's Illuga:
When was the Genshin Impact Illuga release date?
Illuga was released in Genshin Impact on February 3, 2026. He debuted in the second half of the banner alongside Zibai's release and Neuvillette's rerun. You can safely use him with both of these characters, which is handy, thanks to the lunar-crystallize reaction.
Who is Illuga?
Illuga is the third Nod-Krai four-star character, and he provides buffs to the lunar-crystallize reaction between hydro and geo. He can also buff geo damage on its own, which is helpful, and gives another option for mono-geo teams with Navia, Itto, or Ningguang at the helm. He uses a polearm as a weapon.
He's one of the volunteers who make up the Lightkeepers, of which Genshin Impact's Flins is also a part. He's the squad leader of the 'Nightmare Orioles', an investigation unit within the Lightkeepers. Illuga's constellation is Oriolus, so this fits him well - in the real world, it's a type of small bird.
