What is the Witch’s Homework System?
The Witch’s Homework represents Alice’s Little Witch’s Dictionary, a magical tome containing special quests designed to unlock the Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs for specific Mondstadt characters. This system is part of the larger Hexenzirkel faction enhancement introduced in Luna III, fundamentally changing how these classic characters perform in combat.
When you complete a character’s Witch’s Homework quest, they gain access to enhanced abilities and passive effects that activate when paired with at least one other Hexerei character in your party. This creates a new team-building dynamic similar to Nod-Krai’s Moonsign resonance but focused specifically on these enhanced Mondstadt characters.
The system is designed to revitalize older characters, making them more viable in the current meta while providing players with new ways to build and play their favorites. Each Hexerei character receives unique enhancements tailored to their existing kit and playstyle.

Understanding Hexerei: Secret Rite Buffs
The Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs are the core reward for completing the Witch’s Homework quests. These are not simple stat increases but fundamental enhancements to how characters function, often adding new mechanics or dramatically improving existing ones.
How the Buff System Works
The Hexerei: Secret Rite system operates on a simple principle: you need at least two Hexerei characters in your party for the buffs to activate. If you only have one Hexerei character, they won’t receive any of their special enhancements.
When the condition is met (2+ Hexerei characters), each character in the party who has completed their Witch’s Homework quest will gain access to their unique Secret Rite effects. These effects can include:
- Enhanced normal attacks or elemental skills
- New passive abilities or mechanics
- Improved damage output or utility
- Special team-wide buffs
- Extended duration or reduced cooldowns
Character-Specific Buff Overview
Each Hexerei character receives buffs tailored to their existing kit and playstyle:
Venti: Gains Anemo infusion to normal attacks during burst, special Anemo arrows that pierce enemies and extend burst duration, and increased damage when Swirl reactions are triggered.
Klee: Normal attack rotation doesn’t reset, making her playstyle smoother, and the third normal attack automatically triggers a charged attack when Explosive Sparks are available.
Albedo: Generates additional Silver Isotomas that are indestructible and increase damage based on his DEF, while also buffing other Hexerei characters.
Mona: Increased Vaporize damage and extended Omen duration with each normal/charged attack hit, boosting team damage.
Fischl: Provides team-wide ATK buffs when Overload is triggered and EM buffs for Electro-Charged/Lunar-Charged reactions.
Razor: Gains overflowing Electro damage and energy regeneration, making him more self-sufficient and damaging.
Sucrose: Buffs all attack types for teammates and increases Hexerei members’ damage when using her burst.
Durin: Enhanced effects on his elemental burst in both forms, with more potent RES reduction and reaction damage boosts.
