Vesna is an Anemo character tied to the Snezhnaya arc, and early beta information points to a 5-star sword built to carry an on-field Anemo damage dealer. The weapon leans hard into the new Stellar Swirl reaction, feeding crit, reaction damage, and energy back to the wielder as they keep casting.
Quick answer: The leaked sword has a Base ATK of 674 and a 44.1% Crit DMG secondary stat. Its passive cycles through three Spotlight buffs each time you use an Elemental Skill or Burst — one raises Crit DMG by 48%, one raises Stellar Swirl reaction damage by 28%, and one restores 3 Energy.
Vesna signature sword stats
The weapon’s numbers place it firmly in main-DPS territory. A 674 Base ATK is the highest tier for swords, and Crit DMG as the secondary stat gives Vesna a strong foundation for damage without needing it from artifacts.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Weapon type | Sword |
| Rarity | 5-star |
| Base ATK | 674 |
| Secondary stat | 44.1% Crit DMG |
Note: These figures come from beta data and can shift before the weapon goes live. Treat the stats as provisional until an official reveal.
How the Spotlight passive works
The passive grants a rotating buff called a Spotlight. Every time you cast an Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, one Spotlight triggers, and the effects cycle in a fixed order. That means the reward you get depends on how many times you have already used your abilities.
| Spotlight | Effect | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Enthusiastic Spotlight | Crit DMG increased by 48% | 10 seconds |
| Magnificent Spotlight | Stellar Swirl reaction DMG increased by 28% | 10 seconds |
| Radiant Spotlight | Restores 3 Energy | Instant |
Because the three Spotlights cycle in order, the value you get from the sword scales with how often you can cast Skills and Bursts. Frequent ability use keeps the Crit DMG and Stellar Swirl buffs rolling while topping up energy in between.
What the weapon says about Vesna’s role
Everything about the kit points to Vesna working as an Anemo main DPS. The high Base ATK and Crit DMG stat handle raw damage, while the passive is written specifically around Stellar Swirl, the reaction that fires when Cryo meets Anemo.
Stacking those effects together, the sword hands her extra Crit DMG, boosts her Stellar Swirl output, and pays back energy, all from staying active on the field. That design rewards a fast rotation where you keep spamming her Skill and Burst rather than swapping away.
Weapon type is still unsettled
There is disagreement in the early data about which weapon Vesna actually wields. The signature weapon details describe a sword, but some kit leaks have instead linked her to a polearm and an aerial playstyle involving Charged and Plunging Attacks.
Until beta testing settles, treat the weapon type as unconfirmed. The stats and Spotlight passive are the concrete, repeatedly cited details; the exact weapon category may still change.
When Vesna is expected
Vesna is lined up as one of the new 5-star characters for the Version 7.1 update, which is expected around September 23, 2026 based on the game’s usual six-week patch cadence. She is anticipated to headline the Stellar Swirl playstyle, with the Hydro character Vodyanitsa often mentioned as a natural teammate for off-field Hydro application.
No official next date for the character or weapon banner has been confirmed yet. The full lineup should be locked in when the 7.1 livestream airs, so hold off on any final build plans until then.
