Odette is the headline 5-star of Genshin Impact Version 7.0 and the first playable unit from Snezhnaya. She is a Cryo Sword user who works off-field, applying steady Cryo while boosting the new Stellar reactions that define the 7.x era. The pull question is not whether she is strong. It is whether your account has the Cryo and Electro characters she was built to amplify.
Quick answer: Pull for Odette if you already run a Cryo or Electro carry (Ganyu, Ayaka, Wriothesley, Skirk, Clorinde, Raiden, Cyno) or plan to build Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl teams. Skip her if you have no Cryo or Electro damage dealer for her field to lift. She functions fully at C0 with a free 4-star sword, so no constellations or signature weapon are required.
What Odette does on a team
Odette is a 5-star Cryo Sword character who plays as an off-field sub-DPS and reaction enabler. Her whole value rests on one job. She keeps applying Cryo and dealing damage in the background through a spectral copy, then converts and buffs Stellar reactions for the entire party.
Her Elemental Skill summons a Solo Dance Double, a lingering afterimage that automatically strikes nearby enemies with Cryo. Only one can exist at a time, and recasting refreshes its duration. For a short window after the Skill or Burst, she gains a duet finisher that lands as Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl damage depending on her active state.
The part that decides her worth is the buff. While in the correct Radiance state, she converts nearby Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct and Cryo Swirl into Stellar Swirl, then raises the base damage of those reactions for the whole team. Because she scales off ATK rather than a specialized Cryo damage set, she stays cheap to gear.
Banner window: when Odette is available
Odette runs in Version 7.0 Phase 1, which opens on August 12, 2026 and continues through September 1, 2026. She shares Phase 1 with the returning Zibai and the new 4-star Electro character Alyosha. Character Event Wish pity carries over, so any pulls here affect your odds in Phase 2 as well.
Version 7.0 launches in the game’s anniversary window, so celebration rewards stack on top of the usual new-version Primogem income. A wish target that looks out of reach on your current count may sit comfortably in range once those anniversary rewards land. Count them before deciding you cannot afford the banner.
Who should pull, skip, or wait
Odette’s field multiplies the roster around her, so the cleanest way to make the call is to look at what you already own. Her buff applies to a whole reaction category rather than a single character, which means it scales with every Cryo or Electro unit you have built.
| Your account | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Own a Cryo carry (Ganyu, Ayaka, Wriothesley, Skirk) or an Electro core (Clorinde, Raiden, Cyno) | Pull — her field upgrades a team you already invested in |
| Own Sandrone, her natural Cryo battery | Pull — the rotation is already halfway built |
| No Cryo or Electro damage dealer for her to lift | Skip — her field has almost nothing to amplify |
| Prefer on-field damage dealers | Skip or save for a later Snezhnaya carry she can buff |
| On the fence about the Stellar system | Wait until the kit is confirmed and count your anniversary Primogems |
The one mistake to avoid is pulling Odette in a vacuum. On a Cryo-Electro roster she turns a good team into a strong one. On an account with nothing to buff, she is a wasted support. Judge the pull by your characters, not by her splash art.
The case for and against pulling
The argument for Odette is longevity more than raw power. Stellar reactions are set to anchor the entire 7.x arc, so a best-in-slot enabler now stays relevant across many patches instead of fading after one. Her team-wide bonus lifts your existing roster’s damage rather than adding one more solo hitter, and because she scales off ATK, a craftable 4-star sword covers her needs.
The reasons to skip mostly come down to what she is not. As a support, she cannot fix a damage problem on her own. If your account lacks a Cryo or Electro carry, her field has little to lift and the ceiling stays low. Alyosha, the free 7.0 Electro unit handed out through the Archon Quest, also softens the pressure, since part of the Stellar package arrives at no wish cost.
How many wishes to budget
Genshin’s wish system runs on pity. A 5-star is soft-guaranteed around 74 wishes and hard-guaranteed at 90, with a 50/50 on whether you get the featured unit and a guarantee on your next 5-star if you lose the coin flip. Because Odette is fully functional at C0, budget for the guarantee, not the dream scenario.
| Investment tier | Wishes | What it gets you |
|---|---|---|
| Standard target | ~80 | Clears a single 50/50 in most cases for a fully working C0 Odette |
| Safety budget | ~120–160 | Covers a lost 50/50 and still guarantees her |
| Constellation territory | 200+ | C2 is her notable power spike, but it is a luxury, not a requirement |
Her signature 5-star sword, Whitelake Frostfeather, adds CRIT Rate, builds ATK through Skill hits, boosts Stellar reaction CRIT damage, and helps with energy. It is a nice upgrade for a dedicated Stellar carry, but because Favonius Sword and the craftable Emberwell cover her needs, the weapon banner is skippable for almost everyone. C0 with a free sword is the efficient stopping point.
Verdict
Odette is one of the safest support pulls Snezhnaya could open with. She is a cheap-to-build off-field enabler whose team-wide buff future-proofs itself across the whole 7.x arc, and her value only rises as more Stellar DPS units release. If you run Cryo or Electro and want in on the Stellar meta, she is close to an auto-pull. If you do not, even a great support is Primogems better saved for the carry she will one day amplify.
