Genshin Impact 7.0 Odette Guide: Stellar Reactions
Version 7.0 of Genshin Impact, released 12 August 2026, opened Snezhnaya, the seventh nation of Teyvat, and added two playable characters: the 5-star Cryo sword user Odette and Alyosha. Odette is a ballerina and the lead of a troupe, and her value is not on-field auto attacking. She converts Superconduct and Cryo Swirl into Stellar Superconduct and Stellar Swirl, then amplifies the team's stellar reaction damage, which makes her a backline Cryo applier and buffer rather than a traditional Cryo main DPS. This guide covers the mechanic, artifacts, weapons, teams and Abyss notes.
Genshin Impact 7.0 Odette mechanic: how stellar reactions trigger
Odette changes the reaction type itself: teams that run her produce Stellar Superconduct and Stellar Swirl rather than their ordinary versions.
Stellar reactions and Stellar Radiance amplification
Version 7.0 introduces stellar reactions and a Stellar Radiance damage amplification layer, and Odette is the piece that upgrades Superconduct and Cryo Swirl into their stellar forms while boosting the team's stellar reaction damage. In the right lineup, single-copy testing puts her team-wide Stellar Radiance buff at up to 90 percent with sustained uptime. Sparkle-tagged characters gain 25 percent stellar reaction damage, and Odette adds a further 20 percent on top of that baseline.
The 300 and 450 percent multipliers
After using her special ability, Odette deals one instance of Cryo AoE damage to nearby enemies, and the multiplier depends on the reaction: 300 percent of ATK for Stellar Superconduct and 450 percent of ATK for Stellar Swirl. That gap is also why her damage is not built around auto attacks; the burst lands at the skill trigger.
She is a backline applier, not an on-field carry
Odette's normal attacks are not her main damage source, so there is no reason to leave her on field swinging. Once her skill is out, swap to whoever triggers the reactions or carries the sustained damage to keep the team's rotation tight. Her special skill does hit hard enough to matter, so do not force her into the last slot purely to maximise it; if the team needs Cryo applied first, use her first.
Genshin Impact Odette artifacts: the new 7.0 set versus Tenacity
Artifacts are where Odette builds go wrong most often, because picking the wrong set leaves her talent's ATK requirement permanently out of reach.
Why the new 7.0 set comes first
The recommended first choice is the new 7.0 set (炉火套). It grants Odette 30 percent ATK for herself, which lines up with the 3000 ATK her second passive asks for, and it gives the whole team 50 percent stellar reaction damage. One set solves both the personal threshold and the team buff, which is why it beats the alternatives.
When Tenacity is acceptable
Tenacity of the Millelith is the second choice. Its value is team-oriented buffing plus a modest personal gain, but on Odette it leans harder on raw stats to clear the ATK threshold. If your new-set pieces roll badly, Tenacity is a fine transition, but long term the new set is the target.
Main stats, sub stats and the 3000 ATK threshold
Odette's second passive requires 3000 ATK, and that is the first constraint on sub stat allocation: hit the threshold before chasing crit or mastery lines. Exact artifact names and stat values should be read from the in-game 7.0 artifact index and character panel.
Genshin Impact Odette weapons: signature, Snezhnayan forge and substitutes
The weapon slot works out to signature for ceiling, not for access, and there is one four-star trap worth naming.
Is the signature required
The signature 5-star sword raises Odette's personal damage and her stellar reaction performance, making it the endgame pick, but it is not what turns the stellar reaction system on. With limited Primogems, secure Odette and the teammates who complete her team first. Pulling a signature while the team is incomplete usually delivers less than filling the Electro, Cryo and Anemo slots.
The Snezhnayan forged weapon trap
The Snezhnayan forged weapon Ignition Source only triggers when the wearer triggers a reaction, but Stellar Superconduct teams are usually Cryo-aura based, so Odette may barely trigger Superconduct at all and the passive never fires. In Stellar Swirl teams, Odette herself cannot trigger Cryo Swirl, so it does nothing there either. Community testing lands on the same conclusion: this weapon is effectively unusable on her.
Four-star substitutes
Among four-star options, community testing points to Finale of the Deep as the transition choice, while Favonius Sword is workable but not advised because it costs damage. The test for any substitute is simple: does it reliably trigger, and does it feed ATK or stellar reaction bonuses.
Genshin Impact 7.0 Odette teams: Superconduct and Swirl builds
Odette has two directions: follow a Cryo carry into Stellar Superconduct, or pair with Mizuki for Stellar Swirl direct damage.
| Team | Core lineup | How it works | Rotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cryo Traveler Superconduct | Cryo Traveler, Odette, Electro or Cryo slot, sustain | Same logic as puppet-style teams, on-field carry, usually double Cryo with one Electro or three Cryo with one Electro | Odette applies Cryo and fires her skill, swap to Cryo Traveler on field, keep the Electro slot for Superconduct conversion |
| Mizuki Stellar Swirl | Yumemizuki Mizuki, Odette, Anemo slot, sustain | Mizuki gained Stellar Swirl tools in 7.0, and pairing her with Odette produces Stellar Swirl direct damage with strong area coverage | Odette lays Cryo, Mizuki triggers Stellar Swirl, the Anemo slot spreads aura |
| Pure buff slot | Any Cryo or reaction carry, Odette, two supports | Uses Odette only as a backline Cryo applier and Stellar Radiance buff | Play her only in her skill window and leave field time to the carry |
Cryo Traveler Superconduct logic
The point of this team is to let Cryo Traveler stay on field and bank the full Stellar Superconduct value while Odette supplies the initial Cryo application and the team-wide Stellar Radiance buff. Standard shapes are double Cryo with one Electro, or three Cryo with one Electro. The Electro slot exists to keep Superconduct conversion reliable, and without it the trigger rate drops noticeably.
Mizuki Stellar Swirl area damage
Yumemizuki Mizuki is the character who gained Stellar Swirl mechanics in 7.0, and pairing her with Odette produces Stellar Swirl direct damage plus the reaction itself, which shines in multi-target content. The key is holding enemies on a Cryo aura so Stellar Swirl keeps firing.
The pure buff slot option
If neither Cryo Traveler nor Mizuki is built, Odette can run as a pure backline buffer: any Cryo or reaction carry stays on field and Odette only steps in during her skill window. This has the lowest entry cost, but energy and rotation need recalculating so her skill never sits idle.
Genshin Impact 7.0 Spiral Abyss and Snezhnaya environment
Version 7.0 writes stellar reaction mechanics into the Blessing of the Abyssal Moon, so reaction teams gain noticeably.
Blessing of the Abyssal Moon and Polestar Field
The 7.0 blessing reads: while the active character is inside a Polestar Field, dealing damage to opponents unleashes a shockwave at the opponent's position that deals True DMG, triggerable once every 4 seconds. Odette's teams use this naturally, since they keep a character on field inside the buff zone. The blessing resets on 16 September 2026 at 04:00 server time, so recheck the current effect after the swap.
Floor 12 planning and where Odette fits
On floor 12, Odette is most useful as the piece that makes the carry's damage jump rather than as the damage dealer herself: both the Cryo Traveler Superconduct team and the Mizuki Stellar Swirl team exploit the current blessing's True DMG shockwave. Read the chamber enemies and resistances first, then choose the Superconduct or Swirl direction; if Cryo resistance is hostile, converting Odette into a pure buffer beats forcing her as the carry.
What else 7.0 brought
7.0 opened the Snezhnaya map with a matching Archon Quest line that pays Primogems, plus limited events built around a snowfield train, a shooting contest, domain challenges and escorting Frostgnaw creatures. Odette and Alyosha are the two new playable characters, and Cryo Traveler is one of the version's key build projects.
Genshin Impact 7.0 resource planning: Odette or Alyosha
The two 7.0 characters fill different roles, so the pull order depends on which hole in your roster is bigger.
| Priority | Target | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Odette (base) | The enabler for stellar reactions, functional at C0 |
| 2 | Team pieces such as Cryo Traveler and the Electro slot | Odette alone has limited value; fill Electro, Cryo and Anemo first |
| 3 | The new 7.0 artifact set | 30 percent self ATK plus 50 percent team stellar reaction DMG, best value |
| 4 | Signature weapon | Personal damage and stellar reaction performance, a ceiling item |
| 5 | Alyosha | A separate damage direction, pull only to fill a gap |
Artifact farming and the ATK threshold
Farm the new 7.0 set first and hit 3000 ATK before optimising crit. Practically, lock in a set with correct main stats as a transition, then upgrade sub stats as pieces drop; do not stall the character's launch waiting for perfect sub stats.
Other 7.0 investment calls
7.0 spreads its investment pressure across new Snezhnaya materials, Cryo Traveler and both new characters. If resources are thin, the order is Odette's artifacts and weapon, then Cryo Traveler's skills and gear, then Alyosha, because Odette's buffs serve the whole team while Alyosha's value mostly stays inside his own lineup.
Genshin Impact Odette FAQ
Q: Does Odette need her signature weapon?
A: No. It raises personal damage and stellar reaction performance as a ceiling item; with limited Primogems, secure the base character and the teammates who complete the team first.
Q: Why is the new 7.0 artifact set the first choice for Odette?
A: It grants her 30 percent ATK, matching the 3000 ATK her second passive needs, and gives the team 50 percent stellar reaction damage.
Q: What are Odette's special ability multipliers?
A: After using her special ability she deals one instance of Cryo AoE damage to nearby enemies, at 300 percent of ATK for Stellar Superconduct and 450 percent of ATK for Stellar Swirl.
Q: Can Odette use the Snezhnayan forged weapon Ignition Source?
A: Not recommended. It needs the wearer to trigger a reaction, and Stellar Superconduct teams are Cryo-aura based while Stellar Swirl teams cannot be triggered by Odette herself.
Q: How should Odette be teamed with Cryo Traveler and Mizuki?
A: With Cryo Traveler, run double Cryo and one Electro or triple Cryo and one Electro with the Traveler on field; with Yumemizuki Mizuki, hold enemies on a Cryo aura for Stellar Swirl area damage.

Action checklist
- Secure Odette first, then the Electro, Cryo and Anemo teammates, and only then consider her signature.
- Farm the new 7.0 artifact set and push ATK to the 3000 threshold before chasing crit.
- Skip the Snezhnayan forged weapon Ignition Source; Finale of the Deep is the practical four-star pick.
- Pick one team direction, Cryo Traveler Superconduct or Mizuki Stellar Swirl, apply Cryo with Odette and swap out immediately.
- Check the current Blessing of the Abyssal Moon and chamber resistances before entering the Abyss, and recheck after the 16 September 04:00 reset.
