To maximize roster value in Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Phase 1, pull on the Butterfly's Pupation (featuring Vesna) or Hymn of Swirling Currents (featuring Vodyanitsa) banners if your account needs new limited 4-star support or sub-DPS options. However, set a strict pull limit and stop before reaching hard pity if you do not want to risk unlocking the featured 5-star character.
Banner Overview and 4-Star Density
The Version 7.1 Phase 1 event wishes feature the debut of 5-star characters Vesna and Vodyanitsa. The primary draw for resource management in this rotation is the inclusion of all new featured 4-star characters in a single banner pool.
Because standard banner pools often dilute specific 4-star drops, this concentrated rotation provides an efficient opportunity to secure new utility characters and constellation breakthroughs for elemental reaction teams.
Pulling Priority and Account Scenarios
Before spending Primogems, evaluate your current pity count and roster needs. Because 4-star pulls lack a dedicated hard guarantee for a specific character, pulling solely for 4-stars carries the risk of triggering an unwanted 5-star drop.
- Targeting 5-Star Headliners: If you actively want Vesna or Vodyanitsa, pull freely. Any 4-star units or constellations acquired along the way add extra value to your pulls.
- Targeting 4-Stars Only: If you want the new 4-star characters but do not want the featured 5-star, set a firm spending cap (such as 20 to 30 pulls). Stop immediately if your pity count gets close to hard pity.
- Roster Coverage Check: Focus on this banner if your account lacks reliable sub-DPS or battery options. If your roster already clears high-difficulty endgame content easily, preserve your Primogems for future 5-star banners.
| Account Status | Primary Goal | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Wants Vesna or Vodyanitsa | Secure 5-star and 4-star lineup | Pull until acquiring the desired 5-star headliner |
| Needs 4-star support (Low Pity) | Target 4-star units and constellations | Pull with a strict cap; stop well before high pity |
| Near 5-star pity (Dislikes 5-star) | Protect pity count for future banners | Skip banner to prevent pulling an unwanted 5-star |
| Complete roster coverage | Preserve Primogems | Skip banner and save resources for high-priority 5-stars |
Execution Steps for Pulling
- Check Pity Count: Review your Wish History to determine how many pulls you are away from both 4-star (10-pull) and 5-star (90-pull) pity thresholds.
- Select the Banner: Choose between Butterfly's Pupation (Vesna) or Hymn of Swirling Currents (Vodyanitsa) based on which 5-star unit best fits your account if a 5-star drop occurs.
- Set a Budget Stop: Decide on a maximum pull count before spending. Stop once you reach your budget cap or acquire the target 4-star unit, whichever comes first.
