HoYoverse has finally gone all out. In the Genshin Impact 7.1 update, players are receiving not just one, but two free 5-star selectors—and one of them even includes Limited characters! But with so many options, the real question is: which characters provide the most value for your Meta? In this post, we’re breaking down everything from the new character kits to the best pulling strategies.
The New Faces: Vesna and Vodyanitsa
This version introduces two brand-new 5-star units:
Vesna: An Anemo Sword user centered around the “Stellar-Swirl” mechanic. Her gameplay revolves around accumulating Sword Essences and converting them into high-damage Spirit Blades. The highlight? Her flight capability, which is an absolute game-changer for exploration.
Vodyanitsa: A Hydro Catalyst user who serves as an incredible support for Freeze and Stellar-Swirl compositions. She offers healing, shreds enemy Resistance (RES), and grants the active character Resistance to interruption. Plus, she can transform into a mermaid form and sprint across the surface of the water!
Banner Rotation: Phase 1 features Vesna and Vodyanitsa, while Phase 2 sees the arrival of Skirk and Escoffier.
Selector Guide: Who Should You Pick?
The Standard Selector
If you’re a Meta-focused player, Mizuki is the most logical choice. She is essential for Stellar Swirl teams. Other solid alternatives include Qiqi (for C1 and C6) or Mona (if you run Hexerei teams). Jean’s C4 is decent for Anemo RES reduction, though it feels a bit clunky in the 2026 Meta.
The Limited Selector (Important!)
After completing the version 7.1 Archon Quest, you can select one from a pool including Childe, Nilou, Baizhu, Chiori, Clorinde, and Varesa.
Varesa: The strongest choice for the current Meta as an Electro DPS. If you don’t have her, grabbing a C0 Varesa is highly recommended.
Clorinde: If you already own her and can push her to C2, the 40% power spike is massive—arguably a better vertical investment than getting a base Varesa.
Nilou: Still the queen of Bloom teams, especially if you can unlock her C2.
Others (Baizhu, Childe, Chiori): These picks are best reserved for Waifu/Husbandu collectors or completionists, as they aren’t top-tier priorities in the current Meta.
Events and Anniversary Rewards
The Genshin Impact 7.1 update is packed with content:
Moonchase Festival: This classic event returns with new mini-games and a free 4-star sword.
Predictive Victory Dynamics: A fun new event where you bet on the outcomes of monster battles.
Carefree Snowball Fight: A lighthearted co-op PvE activity to enjoy with friends.
Anniversary Rewards: Players will receive 10 Intertwined Fates via login and 1600 Primogems sent directly to their mailbox.
Coclusion
The Genshin Impact 7.1 update is one of the best times to jump back into the game or strengthen your current teams. Between the new characters, refreshing events, and the free selectors, there is plenty to do. Just make sure to double-check your current Constellations before confirming your selector choice. Good luck with your pulls!

FAQ

In terms of Meta power, Varesa is the best choice. However, if you already have C1 Clorinde, investing in her C2 is a higher priority than getting a new copy of Varesa.
2. Are Vesna and Vodyanitsa worth pulling?
Vesna is excellent for exploration and Stellar Swirl teams, while Vodyanitsa is a top-tier support for Freeze and Stellar-Swirl compositions.
3. What are the main anniversary rewards in 7.1?
Players will get 10 Intertwined Fates and 1600 Primogems, along with various in-game materials.
