Genshin Impact’s upcoming Snezhnaya update will bring a flood of new five‑star talent, with the long‑anticipated Cryo Archon scheduled to appear in version 7.3, according to a Reddit leak.
Version 7.1: Anemo & Hydro Hype
The first wave, slated for 7.1, introduces Vesna and Vodyanitsa as both five‑star entries. Vesna is positioned as an Anemo main DPS leveraging Stellar‑Swirl; Vodyanitsa will play a supporting role, chaining Hydro into Cryo damage for teammates.
Version 7.2: Electro Flair & Supportive Depth
Version 7.2 brings Mitya and Valeriy. Mitya, a five‑star Electro character, is expected to be an off‑field sub‑DPS employing Stellar‑Superconduct. Valeriy, a four‑star, will act as an on‑field Stellar‑Conduct support, strengthening allied Cryo fighters.
Version 7.3: The Archon and a Bite of Electro
In 7.3, the community finally gets the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon poised to dominate the tier list on release. Danica, also a five‑star, will join as a Stellar‑Conduct support, reinforcing the balance of power in the ring.
Strategic Drain for the Road Ahead
With these five‑star launches stacked, players will need to flood their accounts with Primogems and ascension material. Free codes available from today can accelerate the supply chain for the forthcoming updates.
