It introduces two new 5-star Snezhnaya characters. Vesna Strivozha is a 5-star Anemo sword user and military officer under the Tsaritsa. Vodyanitsa is a 5-star Hydro catalyst user, known as the Prima Donna of the Korolevskiy Troupe. Both are expected to headline the Event Wishes, with exact order and 4-star rate-ups to be confirmed in the mid-September Special Program.
Leaked Kits for Vesna and Vodyanitsa
Leaks describe Vesna as an on-field Anemo main DPS built around Stellar Swirl. Her Normal Attack delivers up to six sword strikes. The Skill enters a Spirit Blade state that enables multi-stage attacks converting into Stellar Swirl damage. The Burst provides AoE Anemo damage and restores resources for further attacks. Passives boost spirit blade damage through stacking effects.
Vodyanitsa acts as an off-field Hydro support, healer, and enabler scaling with Max HP. Her Skill transforms her into a mermaid form, then summons microphones that deal Hydro damage, shred Hydro and Cryo resistance, and heal the active character. The Burst launches a strong HP-scaling Hydro AoE that grows stronger during the skill state. Passives convert Stellar Swirls into vortices for Anemo resistance shred and grant buff stacks for the team.
What Comes Next in Snezhnaya
Version 7.1 will expand the region with more story, character quests, and events. Players can continue the 7.0 Archon Quest and prepare materials ahead of the new banners. Snezhnaya marks a major step in Genshin Impact’s story, and these new characters will shape the next chapter of the frozen nation.
