Genshin Impact’s newest 5‑star Anemo Sword user, Vesna, has been confirmed for version 7.1.
This announcement follows teaser marketing that highlighted Vesna’s affiliation with the old‑guard Strivozha clan from Snezhnaya. The character is portrayed as radiant, graceful, and quietly poised, yet she carries the bark of a fierce commander.
Vesna stands beside Danica as one of Tsaritsa Anastasya Feodorovna’s trusted aides and commands the Druzhna guard unit dedicated to the Tsaritsa’s will. Marketing copy reveals a playful side: “Should you suddenly find the contents of my plate replaced with lemon slices, or doodles drawn on the bottom of my teacup… Don’t make a fuss — rather, turn a blind eye. The greater the reaction to these pranks, the more delighted she who hides in the shadows will be.” This snippet hints at a carefree, prank‑loving personality that belies her battlefield leadership.
Vesna’s appearance is slated for the first half of the 7.1 banner cycle, while Vodyanitsa, another Snezhnaya figure and friend of Odette, is expected to feature later and play a pivotal role in the Archon quest arc.
Fans anticipating the new banner should keep an eye on the 7.1 release date, as Genshin Impact’s developers promise a character that balances playful mischief with uncompromising command across the northern frontiers.
