Genshin Impact 7.1 Preview: Banners and Anniversary Rewards

If you are planning around the Version 7.1 claims highlighted by creator Black-robed Detective (黑衣侦探), your immediate action should be to hold saved Primogems and defer roster decisions until patch details and character kits are officially confirmed in-game.

Reported Anniversary Rewards and Selector Planning

The preview overview presented by Black-robed Detective outlines three primary reward claims for the Version 7.1 anniversary:

20 Free Pulls: Claimable during the event period to assist with banner wishes.
Permanent Five-Star Selector: A option allowing players to pick a standard five-star unit.
Limited Five-Star Selector: A claimable option targeting limited five-star characters.

If these selectors are distributed, evaluate your account before choosing a character:

Identify Roster Gaps: Check your current team coverage for missing elemental application or role deficits (such as dedicated off-field support or main DPS).
Evaluate Constellations: If your primary team archetypes are already complete, consider using a selector to acquire high-value constellations for core units rather than expanding into unused characters.
Use Free Pulls First: Spend event-provided pulls before converting Primogems or opening selector items to avoid redundant pulls.

Dual Banners: Vesna and Vodyanitsa

The video overview reports a simultaneous dual-banner release featuring two new characters: Vesna (薇斯纳) and Vodyanitsa (沃雅妮莎).

Unit Claim	Banner Format	Action Strategy
Vesna	Dual Limited UP Banner	Wait for official kit mechanics and scaling data before pulling.
Vodyanitsa	Dual Limited UP Banner	Compare role synergy against your existing roster after release.

Because dual banners require strict resource management, avoid pulling on day one. Wait for live testing to confirm how Vesna and Vodyanitsa perform in standard team compositions before spending your currency.

Narrative Content and Media Status

The creator's preview coverage addresses two additional content points:

Story Expansion: Narrative progression continues under the title "The Requiem to the Underworld" (往冥府的安魂). Completing these new story quests will be a reliable source for earning additional Primogems and regional ascension materials.
Animation Project Status: The video explicitly notes that no official information or updates regarding a Genshin Impact anime project were announced during the stream.

Focus your immediate progression goals on completing narrative quests and holding currency for verified character banners rather than planning around unannounced external media projects.
