Genshin Impact 7.0 will add Odette and Alyosha, two new Senzhnaya characters. Odette is a Cryo 5-star character who enables Stellar Glimmer reactions in Genshin Impact. This means that she will be one of the main meta characters in the upcoming patch, and players are already calling her the Columbina of Snezhnaya.

Alyosha, on the other hand, is a 4-star Electro character tailored to trigger and increase Stellar Glimmer damage output. He is one of the main teammates for Odette’s build in Genshin Impact.

If you don’t have enough Primogems to get them in the banners, use Genshin Impact codes to get free Primogems. This way, you won’t miss out on pulling for her in the upcoming update.

Genshin Impact 7.0 Maintenance Start and End Time

The Genshin Impact 7.0 maintenance will start at 3 PM PST for NA servers on August 11, and at 6 AM CST on August 12, 2026, for the rest of the servers. The maintenance break will last around 5 hours, and the update will go live once it ends for all servers at the same time.

Alongside that, players will receive a compensation of 300 Primogems. Every Genshin Impact player at or above Adventure Rank 5 will get the compensation sent to their in-game mailbox. Once the update is live, take a look at our Genshin Impact tier list to figure out the new Snezhnaya meta.
