Odette is the Cryo ballerina assassin shown in the Snezhnaya reveal, and she is shaping up to be one of the first new faces players can pull once the region arrives. She debuted in the Transcendence Trailer “Sudden Snow,” and current leaks point to her becoming playable in Genshin Impact version 7.0 as a 5-star Sword user built around Stellar reactions.
Quick answer: Odette is currently rumored for Genshin Impact 7.0. If she is the only 5-star in her patch, leaks place her debut around August 12, 2026. HoYoverse has not confirmed a release date, so treat the timing as unofficial.
Odette release date status: Rumored for version 7.0
No official launch date has been announced. Odette has only appeared in the Transcendence Trailer alongside the rest of the Snezhnaya cast, which is the same pattern earlier regions followed before their characters became playable. Based on that, she is expected to release during the 7.X cycle, with the most consistent leak placing her in the 7.0 update itself.
Leakers tie her debut to version 7.0 next to Alyosha. If she ends up being the patch’s lone 5-star, her banner would land on or around August 12, 2026. This date is not official and can move before launch.
| Detail | Status |
|---|---|
| Status | Rumored (leak-based) |
| Version | 7.0 (Snezhnaya) |
| Estimated date | Around August 12, 2026 |
| Official confirmation | Not yet announced |
Note: The August 12 estimate assumes Odette is the only 5-star in her phase. If she shares a patch with another new 5-star, the timing could shift to a later phase of the same version.
Odette element, rarity, and weapon
Odette is a Cryo character from Snezhnaya, and her Vision-like marking is a Cryo Stellar Linchpin rather than a standard Vision. That ties her directly into Stellar reactions, the same system used by Sandrone. Her role looks like an off-field sub-DPS that supports Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl teams.
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Rarity | 5-Star |
| Element | Cryo (Stellar Linchpin) |
| Weapon | Sword |
| Region | Snezhnaya |
| Role | Off-field sub-DPS / Stellar reaction support |
She is shown using kunai-style daggers in the trailer, but Genshin has no dagger weapon class, so her in-game weapon is read as a Sword. For voice acting, Alexis Tipton plays her in English and Uesaka Sumire in Japanese, with Pan Danni in Chinese and Choi Hyeon-ji in Korean. Her name and design lean heavily on Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, including the duality between Odette and Odile.
Odette kit leaks
The leaked kit makes Odette both a Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl enabler. Her central mechanic is a dancing afterimage that stays on the field and applies AoE Cryo damage on its own, which is what pushes her toward an off-field damage role. She also stacks personal buffs that she gradually passes to whoever is active when she is off-field.
Elemental Skill
The skill performs a dance that deals AoE Cryo damage and summons her Solo Reflection. If her Solo Reflection is already out, it is resummoned and its duration refreshes. The Solo Reflection alternates between Featherstep and Wingstep, attacking nearby enemies for AoE Cryo damage, and only one can exist at a time.
While her Solo Reflection is nearby, the skill changes into Andante: Finale at Dawn, a duet that continuously deals AoE Cryo damage. When the duet ends, it lands one hit of AoE Cryo damage counted as Stellar-Conduct or Stellar-Swirl reaction damage. In the Radiance: Stellar-Spark state, the final hit and both Solo Reflection dance patterns deal extra Cryo damage as the matching Stellar reaction.
Elemental Burst
The burst is a rapid dance that deals several instances of AoE Cryo damage, summons her Solo Reflection, and grants Dream of the Snow Swan, which raises her Stellar-Spark reaction damage.
Ascension passives
| Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
| The Chosen One’s Spring Rite | Summoning a Solo Reflection grants 4 stacks of Brilliance. |
| Brilliance | Each stack raises Stellar-Spark reaction DMG by 15%. While off-field, she loses 1 stack per second and transfers it to nearby party members. |
| Ballad of the Devoted | Every 100 ATK above 1000 adds 1.5% to Stellar-Spark reaction DMG, up to a 30% increase. |
| Starlit Benediction: Dance of the Silver Dawn | Converts party Superconduct or Cryo Swirl into Stellar-Conduct or Stellar-Swirl, with base damage rising by 0.7% per 100 ATK, up to 14%. |
Note: All kit values come from pre-release leaks and can change before launch. Numbers and even mechanics are routinely adjusted during beta testing.
Odette constellation leaks
Her constellations are leaning damage-focused, with most upgrades boosting her own output rather than the whole party. That points toward a hypercarry-style scaling at higher constellations. The leaked C2 stands out for granting a strong RES-related boost on top of an Elemental Mastery spike.
| Constellation | Leaked effect |
|---|---|
| C1 | Dealing Stellar-Flare reaction DMG restores 5 Elemental Energy, once every 0.5s. |
| C2 | An ice crystal hit grants 60 Elemental Mastery for 5s; triggering a Stellar Reaction or Stellar-Flare DMG raises it to 120 EM for the remaining time. |
| C4 | Increases Frigid Froststar’s duration by 25%. |
| C6 | Casting Frozen Spear, each Frostglow stack consumed boosts other party members’ Stellar-Flare reaction DMG by 5%, up to 40%, for 15s. |
How to prepare for Odette’s banner
Since she is a 5-star, the safest preparation is to start saving Primogems and Intertwined Fates ahead of the 7.0 update. If you want to guarantee her, aim for enough pulls to clear the 50/50 plus a hard pity, since her exact banner phase is not confirmed.
Gameplay details beyond the trailer are expected to firm up as version 7.0 testing progresses, and the kit above should be read as a preview rather than final numbers. Until HoYoverse posts an official banner schedule, the August 12 figure is the best-supported estimate and nothing more.
