The Version 7.1 betting event in Genshin Impact, Predictive Victory Dynamics, is on its eighth and last prediction round. The Final Showdown puts Saurians Are the Cutest against Reserve Grenadier Squad for the title. Mirror Fruity Order and What Does the Ninken Say?, the two Semifinals losers, play for third. After this round you can’t place Victory Emblems anywhere else, so it is your last chance to raise your Prediction Score and to claim another participation reward.
Quick answer: Finish placing your Emblems by October 19 at 21:59 UTC-4 (October 20 at 01:59 UTC / 09:59 UTC+8). Your score equals the number of Emblems placed times the winning side’s locked multiplier.
Final Showdown support rates and score multipliers
The event board gives each team a Support Rate—the portion of players backing it—and a multiplier based on that rate. The less popular side always has the larger multiplier. These numbers were captured during the open round. Support Rates continue to shift until they lock at a scheduled point before the battle, so check your own screen before making a pick.
| Match | Team | Support Rate | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Championship Match | Saurians Are the Cutest | 37% | ×70 |
| Championship Match | Reserve Grenadier Squad | 63% | ×35 |
| Third-Place Playoff | Mirror Fruity Order | 16% | ×105 |
| Third-Place Playoff | What Does the Ninken Say? | 84% | ×30 |
Some players saw Saurians Are the Cutest closer to 30–32 percent support during the round. The ×70 multiplier stayed the same across those readings, and What Does the Ninken Say? showed up as high as 78–84 percent at ×30.
Championship Match: Saurians Are the Cutest vs. Reserve Grenadier Squad
The title fight is the closest matchup of the round. The crowd favors Reserve Grenadier Squad by about two to one, and Saurians Are the Cutest pays double the multiplier. Sappho Amidst the Waves leads the Saurians side. Wislawa leads the Fatui grenadiers. Tap any unit’s avatar on the lineup screen to see its skills, ATK, and Max HP. The lineup also includes Oprichniki Hailstorm Cannoneer, Fatui Skirmisher – Pyroslinger Bracer, and Cryogunner Legionnaire.
| Unit (Lv. 80) | Attack profile | Max HP | ATK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sappho Amidst the Waves | Single-Target, Ranged | 123,000 | 19,400 |
| Oprichniki Hailstorm Cannoneer | Single-Target, Melee | 43,000 | 9,800 |
| Wislawa | AoE, Melee | 45,000 | 2,300 |
| Fatui Skirmisher – Cryogunner Legionnaire | AoE, Melee | 25,000 | 6,100 |
None of the three Melee units mentioned above can attack Flying enemies. Both finalists advanced after defeating formidable rivals. Saurians Are the Cutest began with only around 12 percent support, won its first match, and then eliminated Little Fungi Clan and Mirror Fruity Order. Reserve Grenadier Squad advanced past Seahorse and Crab, then A Little Chubby Crisis, before facing What Does the Ninken Say?.
Third-Place Playoff: Mirror Fruity Order vs. What Does the Ninken Say?
The support gap here is the widest in the late rounds. What Does the Ninken Say? has around 84 percent of the crowd behind it. Mirror Fruity Order offers ×105, the top multiplier on the Final Showdown board. The lineup features Nobushi: Kikouban and Swiftshadow Ninken, plus Treasure Hoarder Scout; another unit is Treasure Hoarder Pyro Potioneer, while the fifth is Treasure Hoarder Handyman. This team has already sprung a major underdog upset: it beat Unofficial Blazing Beasts Members in the Quarterfinals with roughly 23 percent support.
Long fights eventually enter the Vicious Battle phase, and from then on both sides lose HP constantly. In a close match, total HP and staying power can decide the result.
Prediction Score payouts for a 50-Emblem stake
The scoring is plain multiplication. Every round gives you a new batch of Victory Emblems, and you can split them between that round’s two matches however you like. Most players put 50 on each match. If your pick wins, you earn the Emblems you placed multiplied by the winner’s locked multiplier.
| Outcome | Multiplier | Score for 50 Emblems |
|---|---|---|
| Saurians Are the Cutest win the title | ×70 | 3,500 |
| Reserve Grenadier Squad win the title | ×35 | 1,750 |
| Mirror Fruity Order take third | ×105 | 5,250 |
| What Does the Ninken Say? take third | ×30 | 1,500 |
A wrong pick still earns some score. In the Semifinals, one 70/30 split hit Match 1 for 2,100 points and still got 300 points from the missed Match 2, for a round score of 2,400. A losing prediction also counts as participation, so it never costs you the round reward.
How to place Final Showdown predictions and claim rewards
To take part you need Adventure Rank 20 and a completed Prologue: Act III, Song of the Dragon and Freedom. The prediction board stands next to Vigee in the Children of Echoes territory in Natlan. You can also open the event from the Events Overview menu.

|---|---|---|
| Round participation | Predict in the current round | 20 Primogems, 2 Hero’s Wit |
| Score milestone | Reach 16,000 Prediction Score | 40,000 Mora, 4 Sanctifying Unction |
Over all eight rounds, the event pays out 420 Primogems in total, along with Mora, Hero’s Wit, and other materials.
Semifinals results and each finalist’s bracket path
The favorites won both Semifinals, and each winner had about two-thirds of the crowd behind it. In Match 1, Saurians Are the Cutest beat Mirror Fruity Order, so a 50-Emblem pick at ×30 returned 1,500 points. Match 2 went into the Vicious Battle phase before Reserve Grenadier Squad finished off What Does the Ninken Say?. A 50-Emblem pick at ×35 returned 1,750 points, which made a perfect round worth 3,250.
| Team | Round of 16 win | Quarterfinals win | Semifinals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saurians Are the Cutest | Frostarm and Shaman Formation | Little Fungi Clan | Won |
| Reserve Grenadier Squad | Seahorse and Crab | A Little Chubby Crisis | Won |
| Mirror Fruity Order | Elemental Dye Experts | Unofficial Blazing Beasts Members | Lost |
| What Does the Ninken Say? | Simple-Soul Hilichurl Fighters | Round-and-Frost Assault | Lost |
Final Showdown deadline and results window
Predictive Victory Dynamics uses a single global clock instead of each server’s daily reset. The Final Showdown opened at 22:00 UTC-4 on October 18, and each round stays open for 24 hours. Once a round closes, you can no longer earn its participation reward, and there is no catch-up entry for missed rounds.
| Time zone | Predictions close | Results visible until |
|---|---|---|
| UTC-4 | Oct 19, 21:59 | Oct 22, 21:59 |
| UTC | Oct 20, 01:59 | Oct 23, 01:59 |
| UTC+8 | Oct 20, 09:59 | Oct 23, 09:59 |
The results period starts after predictions close. You can then watch the Championship Match and Third-Place Playoff replays, see your final Prediction Score calculated, and claim any newly earned milestone rewards. For the most reliable local timing, check the in-game Time Remaining for This Prediction Round counter.
At the end of the results period, the event is removed from the Events menu, and any rewards left unclaimed are lost.
You can confirm your Final Showdown entry went through in two places. The Prediction Rewards panel should show the round’s 20 Primogems as claimed, and each match card should show the number of Emblems you placed. After the round closes, watch both replays on the projection board so your last score is added, then claim any remaining milestones before October 23.
