Genshin Impact 7.0 Pull Guide Should You Pull Odette

If you only want the short answer: Odette is worth pulling, but she is not mandatory for every account. Her value mainly depends on the new reaction system in Version 7.0 and future Snezhnaya teams. Players who want to prepare early for the new version mechanics can treat her as the most strategically important character in the first half. On the other hand, if what your account needs most right now is a main DPS who can immediately help clear content, or if you have no plan to invest in Stellar teams, Odette will rank below more straightforward damage options such as Arlecchino and Flins.
The following guide reorganizes the advice around common account situations for players. Banner and mechanic details should still be checked against in-game announcements, especially skill multipliers and team performance around the official launch.
7.0 Banner Overview
Based on the current version lineup, Version 7.0 is split into two five-star banner phases: the first half features Odette and Arlecchino, while the second half features Ineffa and Flins. The first half also includes the new four-star character Alyosha. The difference between the four five-star characters is clear: Odette is a new-system support, Arlecchino is a stable Pyro on-field main DPS, and Ineffa and Flins provide support and damage around Lunar-Charged teams.
| Banner Phase | 5-Star Character | Main Role | Best For |
| First Half | Odette | Cryo sword off-field sub-DPS reaction enabler team buffer | Players who want to build Stellar teams and prepare for future 7.x characters |
| First Half | Arlecchino | Pyro polearm on-field main DPS Bond of Life damage dealer | Players lacking a strong Pyro DPS or a stable Spiral Abyss carry |
| Second Half | Ineffa | Electro polearm shielder Lunar-Charged support off-field Electro | Players with Hydro and Electro teams who want better survival and reaction damage |
| Second Half | Flins | Electro polearm on-field main DPS Lunar-Charged core damage dealer | Players who want an Electro on-field DPS and are willing to build around Lunar-Charged |
Odette's Core Value
Odette's role in Version 7.0 is not that of a traditional Cryo on-field damage dealer. She is closer to a Cryo sword off-field sub-DPS, Stellar reaction enabler, team buffer, and off-field Cryo support. In other words, her real value is not standing on the field to finish a full combo by herself, but helping the team trigger new reactions more reliably and raising reaction damage.
The accounts that suit her usually share two traits. First, they are willing to invest early in Stellar-Conduct or Stellar-Swirl teams. Second, they need high-quality off-field Cryo coverage and reaction buffs. For these players, Odette's value is not limited to Version 7.0. She may become a foundation piece for early 7.x team building. When a new region opens, the first supports that can reliably serve new reaction systems often keep value more easily than pure damage dealers.
However, she has clear pull conditions. If your main teams are still focused on Vaporize, Melt, Freeze, Dendro reactions, or mono-element setups, and you do not want to rebuild teams in the short term, Odette may not immediately change your account strength. She is more like an investment ticket for a future system than a universal support who instantly upgrades every old team.
When You Should Pull Odette
· You want to experience the Version 7.0 reaction system early and are willing to build teammates and artifacts for Stellar teams.
· You need a stable off-field Cryo character who can provide Cryo application, buffs, and sub-DPS value in the new system.
· You are not urgently missing an on-field main DPS, already have two usable teams, and want to expand your account's ceiling.
· You like Odette's character design and can accept that she may need more 7.x teammates to complete her best teams after launch.
When You Can Skip Odette
· Your Primogems only cover one to two five-star pulls, and your account still lacks a strong main DPS who can lead a team.
· You are not preparing to play Stellar-Conduct or Stellar-Swirl at all and only want to keep investing in mature old teams.
· You are already waiting for a future Snezhnaya Archon or key 7.x character and do not want the first-half banner to disrupt your budget.
· You need immediate power more than a team core that requires long-term construction around a new mechanic.
How to Choose Between Odette and Arlecchino

Arlecchino's strength is certainty. She is a Pyro polearm main DPS built around the Bond of Life mechanic, with strong single-target and area damage and mature team options. For players who lack a Pyro DPS, lack a core damage dealer for Spiral Abyss, or want a long-term on-field character, Arlecchino is a steadier choice than Odette.
The difference can be summed up in one sentence: Arlecchino gives your current account a powerful damage blade, while Odette prepares the path for the new system after Version 7.0. If you already have a highly invested Arlecchino, Hu Tao, or another Pyro main DPS, adding Odette makes more sense. If your main DPS pool is thin, pulling Arlecchino usually brings faster results.
Should You Wait for Ineffa and Flins in the Second Half

If you like Hydro and Electro teams, Ineffa's priority should not be underestimated. She leans toward an Electro shielder, off-field Electro applicator, and Lunar-Charged enabler. Her advantage is putting defense, survivability, Electro application, and reaction buffs into one character, making her suitable for players who want Lunar-Charged teams to feel steadier.

Flins leans more toward damage. He suits players who want an Electro on-field main DPS and are willing to prepare Hydro off-field support and other supports for Lunar-Charged teams. If you do not lack a main DPS and only want to improve system completeness, Ineffa's broader support value may be higher. If you lack an Electro damage core, Flins will be more appealing.
Pull Advice for Different Accounts
| Account Situation | Recommended Priority | Reason |
| New or returning player | Prioritize Arlecchino | She more easily forms a strong damage team, with mature build paths and team logic. |
| Already have two main teams | Prioritize Odette | You can invest Primogems into the entrance of a new system and improve future roster flexibility. |
| Hydro and Electro player | Prioritize Ineffa or Flins | The second-half characters match Lunar-Charged teams more closely and offer a more focused upgrade direction. |
| Only enough for a soft guarantee | Pull by preference or missing role | Odette is more of a future investment, while Arlecchino and Flins are more immediate damage options. |
| Saving for major 7.x characters | Be cautious with Odette | Unless you are sure you want to play Stellar teams, keeping Primogems is more flexible. |
Final Verdict
Odette is worth pulling, but the logic behind recommending her is system value, not solo burst. Players who want to keep up with Version 7.0 mechanics, prepare early for Snezhnaya reaction teams, or need a high-quality off-field Cryo support can seriously consider her. She may become an important piece for early 7.x Stellar teams.
If you care more about immediate clearing strength, Arlecchino is still the safer first-half choice. If you have already decided to invest in Lunar-Charged, Ineffa and Flins in the second half deserve saved budget. When Primogems are limited, the best approach is not chasing version hype, but asking what your account lacks right now: a main DPS, a support, or a ticket into a future system.
