Genshin Impact 7.1 Banner leaks
At the time of writing, much of the Genshin Impact 7.1 livestream remains a mystery. We do know it will continue the Snezhnaya storyline and, considering the livestream's rather ominous name, I have a feeling that it's about to take a rather dark turn.
When it comes to the 7.1 Banners, we already know two of the characters that will be appearing thanks to social media drip marketing. The first is Vesna - a new 5-Star Anemo sword-user character - and the second is Vodyanitsa, a new 5-Star Hydro catalyst-user character. We'll hopefully get a look at their signature weapons too! Considering how Vesna is tied to the current main storyline and Vodyanitsa is friend's with Odette, you might have already met both of these characters in-game. This leaves one question: are you going to pull for them?
As a reminder, none of this information is official, so we'll have to wait until the 7.1 livestream for solid details on who will be on the next Banners in Genshin Impact.
