Odette arrives with Snezhnaya’s debut patch as a five-star Cryo sword wielder, and her first banner is locked to the opening phase of Version 7.0. Below is her confirmed launch window, how her banner is structured, what her kit does, and who voices her.
Quick answer: Odette becomes playable on August 12, 2026, during Phase 1 of Version 7.0. Her banner runs from August 12 until September 1, 2026.
Odette release status and banner window
Status: Confirmed. Odette headlines a Phase 1 banner in Version 7.0, the update that officially opens Snezhnaya. Her rate-up starts on August 12, 2026 and ends on September 1, 2026. No exact server unlock time has been published, so treat the date as fixed and the hour as pending.
She shares the phase with a rerun of Arlecchino, while the new four-star Alyosha appears as a rate-up during the same period. That means one Cryo five-star and one Pyro five-star run side by side at launch.

Character profile and kit
Odette is a five-star Cryo character who fights with a sword. Her full name is Odette Spessiva, her constellation is Cygnus Olor, and her home region is Snezhnaya. In combat she works as an off-field Stellar reaction sub-DPS.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rarity | 5 stars |
| Element | Cryo |
| Weapon | Sword |
| Region | Snezhnaya |
| Constellation | Cygnus Olor |
| Birthday | February 20 |
| Affiliations | Korolevskiy Troupe, Fatui |
Her Elemental Skill summons a Solo Dance Double onto the field. The clone passively deals Cryo damage in an area over time and enables both Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl. Her Elemental Burst delivers a large burst of area Cryo damage.
Being able to toggle both Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl gives her more team flexibility than Sandrone, who could only enable Stellar-Conduct. Her off-field Cryo application also lets Electro and Anemo carries trigger those Stellar reactions. Outside of combat, she can show Snezhnaya local specialties on the map, which speeds up material gathering.
Note: her kit details come from the Version 7.0 livestream and can change once the update goes live.

Who Odette is in the story
Odette is the Prima Ballerina of the Korolevskiy Troupe, known for a cold, elegant stage presence. Her ballet is famous enough across Snezhnaya that audiences brave the nation’s harsh cold just to attend a live performance. She rarely smiles at the crowd, yet her precision on pointe is what fills the theater.
Behind the performances, she is a member of the Fatui. Her days split between the troupe and Fatui duties, with dance practice starting in the early morning and training stretching late into the night. She is currently the favored candidate to inherit the Harbinger seat once held by her mentor, La Signora.
Her name nods to Swan Lake, where the lead dancer also plays the antagonist Odile. That double casting mirrors Odette’s own split life between the stage and the Fatui. She first appeared in the Transcendence trailer “Sudden Snow,” seen moving against an audience during Vodyanitsa’s performance.
With her banner set for August 12, players saving primogems for the Snezhnaya lineup have a firm target to plan around, since her rate-up closes on September 1.
