Developer HoYoverse released the details of Genshin Impact – Version 7.0 Phase I, showing the entire contents of banners and events to directly follow the release of Snezhnaya. Let’s check them out!
If you are looking to enroll into Snezhnaya wielding the new Stellar Glimmer reactions, there is no better place to start than the very first banner.
“Farewell, and extend your apology to the warm hearth and the dreams by the windowsill. For the path you are bound to embark upon leads toward the pale frost at daybreak.”
Genshin Impact – Version 7.0 Phase I Banners Feature:
- 5-star characters: Odette (Cryo Sword), Arlecchino (Pyro Polearm);
- 5-star signature weapons: Whitelake Frostfeather (Sword), Crimson Moon’s Semblance (Polearm)
- 4-star characters: Lynette (Anemo Sword), Alyosha (Electro Polearm), Sucrose (Anemo Catalyst)
- 4-star weapons: Favonius Sword (Sword), The Bell (Claymore), Dragon’s Bane (Polearm), Sacrificial Fragments (Catalyst), and Rust (Bow)
Among the many new companions players can expect to meet in Snezhnaya, Odette, a 5-Star Cryo Sword wielder, is one of the first new playable characters. Though she is a Fatui operative working under La Signora, Odette’s skills as a highly trained assassin are nowhere as well-known as her skills as a celebrated Snezhnayan ballerina. In combat, Odette converts Superconduct and Cryo Swirl reactions into Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl respectively while amplifying all Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG across the party.
Her Elemental Skill deploys a dance double that deals continuous AoE Cryo DMG and grants all party members a Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG Bonus. Using her Elemental Skill again draws Odette and her double into a brief duet, unleashing a burst of Cryo AoE DMG regarded as a Stellar Glimmer reaction. Her Elemental Burst deals multiple waves of AoE Cryo DMG and increases the Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG she deals.
Another new companion making their debut in this version is Alyosha, a Snezhnayan hunter who fights alongside his canine companion Tugarin. As a 4-Star Electro Polearm wielder, he provides the party with Stellar-Conduct DMG buffs, as well as restores HP to nearby party members on the battlefield. Players can get Alyosha for free as they advance through the new Archon Quest.
