Genshin Impact Version 7.0 Phase I Banners: Odette, Arlecchino, Alyosha, and Featured Weapons
Version 7.0 Phase I Event Wishes Overview
Genshin Impact Version 7.0 Phase I features two Character Event Wishes and one Epitome Invocation banner, all running from the Version 7.0 update until September 1, 2026, at 17:59. Travelers can choose between “Swan’s Shadow in Silken Ice”, featuring Odette, and “The Hearth’s Ashen Shadow”, featuring Arlecchino.
Both character banners share the same three boosted 4-star characters, but their featured 5-star characters differ. Odette is the new event-exclusive 5-star Cryo character, while Arlecchino returns as the featured 5-star Pyro character on the second banner.
The Phase I weapon banner also features two promotional 5-star weapons linked to the featured characters. These are Whitelake Frostfeather, a Sword, and Crimson Moon’s Semblance, a Polearm.

Character Event Wish: Swirling Snow Odette
“Swan’s Shadow in Silken Ice” is the Version 7.0 Phase I banner featuring the event-exclusive 5-star character “Swirling Snow” Odette. Odette is a Cryo character, making her the new limited 5-star character highlighted in the first Character Event Wish.
Odette receives a boosted drop rate throughout this Event Wish period. Because she is an event-exclusive character, she will not be added to the standard “Wanderlust Invocation” after the banner ends.
The banner also boosts three 4-star characters: Alyosha, Sucrose, and Lynette. This allows Travelers to obtain copies of these characters while wishing for Odette.
Featured Characters on Odette’s Banner
Alyosha has a different long-term availability status from Odette. After the Phase I Event Wish ends, Alyosha will become available through the standard “Wanderlust Invocation” in the following Version.
Odette will not receive the same standard-banner addition. Her event-exclusive status means Travelers should not expect her to enter “Wanderlust Invocation” when the Phase I banner concludes.
Character Event Wish-2: The Hearth’s Ashen Shadow
“The Hearth’s Ashen Shadow” is the second Character Event Wish running alongside Odette’s banner in Version 7.0 Phase I. It gives Travelers a boosted chance to obtain the event-exclusive 5-star Pyro character “Dire Balemoon” Arlecchino.
The three boosted 4-star characters remain the same on both character banners. Alyosha, Sucrose, and Lynette all receive increased drop rates on “The Hearth’s Ashen Shadow.”
Arlecchino’s event-exclusive status also means she will not be added to “Wanderlust Invocation” after this banner ends. The standard-banner rule therefore applies differently to Alyosha than it does to the two featured 5-star characters.
Odette vs. Arlecchino
The two banners therefore differ in the 5-star characters they feature but are identical in their boosted 4-star lineup. Travelers deciding between them should focus primarily on which 5-star character they want rather than expecting different 4-star options.
How the Character Wish Guarantee Works
The pity or wish guarantee count is shared between “Character Event Wish” and “Character Event Wish-2.” This means the guarantee count accumulated on one of these two banners carries over between them rather than being tracked as two completely separate character-banner counters.
The shared count also continues across relevant Character Event Wishes rather than resetting simply because Travelers switch between the two Phase I banners. This underscores that changing from Odette’s banner to Arlecchino’s banner does not create a separate character-event guarantee counter.
This guarantee system remains separate from other Wish categories. The character-event guarantee does not share its count with other types of Wishes, such as the weapon-focused Epitome Invocation.
What This Means for Travelers
Switching between the two Character Event Wishes does not mean starting a new guarantee count. For example, a Traveler can make wishes on one character banner and later continue on the other while retaining the shared Character Event Wish guarantee progress.
The two banners should therefore be viewed as connected for guarantee-count purposes. However, Travelers should still check the Wish screen’s Details section for the complete rules governing their current Wish status.
Epitome Invocation: Featured 5-Star Weapons
The Version 7.0 Phase I Epitome Invocation banner features Whitelake Frostfeather and Crimson Moon’s Semblance as its two promotional 5-star weapons. Whitelake Frostfeather is a Sword, while Crimson Moon’s Semblance is a Polearm.
Five 4-star weapons also receive boosted drop rates during the same period. The featured 4-star weapons are Favonius Sword, The Bell, Dragon’s Bane, Sacrificial Fragments, and Rust.
Version 7.0 Phase I Weapon Lineup
The two promotional 5-star weapons are event-exclusive and will not be added to “Wanderlust Invocation.” Their availability is therefore tied to the relevant promotional weapon banner rather than the standard Wish pool.
Epitomized Path for the Featured Weapons
Travelers can use Epitomized Path to select a promotional 5-star weapon as their desired target. The two available promotional options are Whitelake Frostfeather and Crimson Moon’s Semblance.
Epitomized Path is accessed through the Wish screen and its Details section. Travelers should review the in-game information before making weapon wishes because the system has its own rules separate from the character-event guarantee.
The weapon banner’s guarantee system should also be considered separately from the character banners. The official notice specifically states that the Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2 guarantee count is independent of other Wish types.
Test Run Gives Travelers a Chance to Try Featured Characters
The Test Run event is available during the Phase I Event Wishes, allowing Travelers to try selected trial characters before deciding whether to wish. These trials use fixed lineups and specific stages designed for the featured characters.
Completing the available Test Run challenges provides corresponding rewards. This makes the trial stages useful for players who want to experience a character’s gameplay before spending Primogems.
Why Test Run Matters
Test Run can help Travelers make a more informed choice between Odette and Arlecchino. Reading character descriptions can explain abilities, but actually using a fixed trial lineup gives players a clearer idea of how a character feels during combat.
The same principle applies to the other featured characters available through the trial content. Travelers can use the opportunity to test the relevant characters before committing resources to their preferred banner.
When Do the Version 7.0 Phase I Banners End?
All three listed Phase I Event Wishes end on September 1, 2026, at 17:59. This applies to both Character Event Wishes and the Epitome Invocation listed in the Version 7.0 Phase I notice.
Travelers who want Odette, Arlecchino, or either of the featured 5-star weapons should therefore make their wishes before the stated end time. Once the banners end, their boosted drop rates will no longer apply.
Alyosha has a different availability path after Phase I. The 4-star Electro character will enter the standard “Wanderlust Invocation” in the next Version, while Odette and Arlecchino remain event-exclusive characters.
What Should You Wish for in Version 7.0 Phase I?
The best banner depends on the character or weapon a Traveler actually wants, because the two character banners have the same boosted 4-star lineup. Players interested in Odette should choose “Swan’s Shadow in Silken Ice,” while those targeting Arlecchino should choose “The Hearth’s Ashen Shadow.”
Weapon-focused Travelers can instead consider Epitome Invocation if one of its two promotional 5-star weapons fits their roster. Whitelake Frostfeather and Crimson Moon’s Semblance are the headline weapons for Phase I.
Travelers who are saving Primogems should also consider availability after the banner ends. Odette and Arlecchino are not moving to “Wanderlust Invocation,” while Alyosha is scheduled to become available through the standard Wish in the following Version.
For fans who also collect Genshin Impact merchandise, major character banners often coincide with increased interest in character-themed official products. North American collectors may see releases connected with popular characters through licensed retailers such as Animon Life, although merchandise availability is separate from in-game Event Wish availability.
Final Thoughts
Genshin Impact Version 7.0 Phase I gives Travelers three main Wish options: Odette’s character banner, Arlecchino’s character banner, and the Epitome Invocation weapon banner. The two character banners share their boosted 4-star lineup and guarantee count, but their featured 5-star characters differ.
The most important date to remember is September 1, 2026, at 17:59, when the Phase I Event Wishes end. Travelers should also remember that Alyosha will be added to the standard Wish in the next Version. At the same time, Odette, Arlecchino, Whitelake Frostfeather, and Crimson Moon’s Semblance remain outside the standard “Wanderlust Invocation” pool.
