- Genshin Impact Version 7.1 introduces Vesna and Vodyanitsa.
- Vodyanitsa may be the best choice for players who already have enough DPS characters.
Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Phase 1 banners will go live from September 23, 2026, to October 14, 2026, and Phase 2 banners will go live from October 14, 2026, to November 3, 2026. The Phase 1 banners will feature two new playable characters in a dual banner, and Phase 2 banners will feature two rerun characters in a dual banner.
We will assess each character’s strengths and qualities in the future meta of the game and advise on which you should prefer to pull between the two playable characters.
Who should you go for between Skirk, Escoffier, Vodyanitsa, and Vesna in Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Character Banners
1. Vodyanitsa
Vodyanitsa is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst user in Genshin Impact. Her entire kit scales off Max HP; every point of HP contributes to her damage, healing, and buffing abilities. With her skill, she reduces enemy Hydro and Cryo RES by 26% for 6 seconds, increases the active character’s interruption resistance, and heals the active character once every 1.5 seconds. With her Ultimate, she can provide a damage bonus for the whole team. Check our Vodyanitsa Pre-farm Guide.
2. Vesna
Vesna is a 5-star Anemo Sword user in Genshin Impact. She is a stellar Swirl DPS who can turn Cryo Swirl into Stellar Swirl and increases this reaction damage by 14% based on her attack. Her Elemental Skill converts her normal attacks into Anemo attacks and increases her Interruption RES. Her Elemental Burst deals serious AoE Anemo DMG.
Every Cryo or Anemo character in the party increases Vesna’s ATK by 6%. But for every character of another Elemental Type in the party, Vesna gets 25 Elemental Mastery instead. Check our Vesna Pre-farm Guide.
3. Skirk
Skirk is a 5-star Cryo Sword user. She is designed to be an on-field carry, with a kit centred on two key mechanics: her Serpent Subtlety energy system and strong synergy with Freeze teams. She deals massive damage with a rapid cryo attack. Skirk is not a flexible character like other DPS because of her Freeze team synergy, but if you have a Freeze team, then she will not disappoint you.
4. Escoffier
Escoffier is a 5-star Cryo Polearm user, specialising in being a Cryo support/sub-DPS who excels in Freeze and Mono Cryo teams. In the Freeze team, she can reduce enemies’ Cryo and Hydro resistance by 55%. Escoffier also deals massive Cryo damage with her skill and can heal the whole team with her Burst.
Who should you pull in Version 7.1 to make your team future-proof in Genshin Impact
Phase I
Vodyanitsa and Vesna will get their banners in Phase 1. Pulling Vodyanitsa is better than pulling Vesna. From free standard characters and by losing the 50/50, you can easily get Mizuki C2, whose damage is equal to C0 Vesna’s damage.
Phase II
Between the two, Skirk and Escoffier both have equal pulling values. Escoffier is a must-pull character for Skirk. Without Escoffier, she loses 50% of her damage. But if you pull Escoffier, you can use her with the other Freeze team or Mono Cryo team. Pull Skirk if you have either Furina or Escoffier; she loses a huge amount of her combat capability without them.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
