Odette has joined Genshin Impact as one of the new playable characters introduced with Version 7.0.
The 5-star Cryo character arrives alongside the opening of Snezhnaya and plays an important role in the new Stellar Glimmer reaction system.
Unlike a traditional Cryo damage dealer, Odette is primarily designed to contribute from off-field while enabling and strengthening Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl reactions for the rest of the team.
Here’s an overview of Odette and what makes her different from other Cryo characters.
Odette at a Glance
Odette’s basic character details are:
- Rarity: 5-star
- Element: Cryo
- Weapon: Sword
- Primary Role: Off-field Sub-DPS / Stellar reaction support
- Introduced: Version 7.0
- Region: Snezhnaya
Her kit is closely tied to Stellar reactions, making her particularly relevant for teams built around the new combat mechanics introduced with Snezhnaya.
Odette Is Built Around Stellar Reactions
The defining feature of Odette’s kit is her interaction with Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl.
With Odette in the party, Superconduct and Cryo Swirl can be converted into their Stellar counterparts.
This gives her two main reaction paths:
- Cryo + Electro → Stellar-Conduct
- Cryo + Anemo → Stellar Swirl
Odette can therefore support different team compositions depending on whether the party is built around Electro or Anemo interactions.
Her abilities also increase Stellar Glimmer reaction damage, so her role extends beyond simply enabling the reactions.
Her Elemental Skill Works From Off-Field
Odette’s Elemental Skill summons a Solo Dance Double.
The Double remains active after Odette leaves the field, attacking enemies periodically and providing continued Cryo application.
After Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl is triggered, Odette can also perform a special follow-up Skill that deals a larger area hit associated with the active Stellar reaction.
This design allows Odette to perform her actions relatively quickly before switching to another character.
As a result, she does not need to occupy the field for long periods to contribute to the team.
Odette Can Increase the Team’s Stellar Glimmer Damage
Odette also provides direct support for characters dealing Stellar reaction damage.
When her Solo Dance Double is summoned, she gains stacks of Marvelous Splendor. After Odette leaves the field, these stacks can be transferred to her teammates over time, increasing their Stellar Glimmer damage.
Another passive scales with Odette’s ATK and can increase the base damage of Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl.
This makes ATK an important part of Odette’s kit, not only for her own damage but also for her contribution to Stellar reaction teams.
Odette Can Support Stellar-Conduct Teams
One of Odette’s main uses is in Stellar-Conduct teams.
These teams combine Cryo and Electro while using Odette to convert the normal Superconduct interaction into Stellar-Conduct.
Because her Solo Dance Double can continue applying Cryo while she is off-field, another character can remain active and trigger reactions without requiring Odette to stay on the field.
This gives her considerable flexibility as a Sub-DPS and reaction support character.
She Can Also Enable Stellar Swirl
Odette is not restricted to Electro-based teams.
Her presence can also convert Cryo Swirl interactions into Stellar Swirl, opening another type of team built around Cryo and Anemo.
That makes Odette unusual because one character can support two different branches of the Stellar reaction system rather than being designed around only one reaction.
As more characters designed around Stellar mechanics are introduced, the number of teams able to take advantage of these interactions may continue to grow.
Whitelake Frostfeather Is Odette’s Signature Weapon
Odette arrives with the 5-star Sword Whitelake Frostfeather as her signature weapon.
The Sword provides offensive stats and effects designed around Odette’s playstyle and Stellar reaction damage.
However, owning her signature weapon is not required to use Odette effectively. Other Sword options can be used depending on the player’s available weapons and team.
For players who already own Odette and want to build her rather than simply learn about the new character, Story Billion’s dedicated Odette build covers recommended Artifacts, weapons, teams, stats, and playstyle.
Odette Is One of Version 7.0’s Key New Characters
Odette stands out among the characters introduced around Snezhnaya because of how closely her kit is connected to the new Stellar reaction system.
Rather than functioning only as another Cryo damage dealer, she can:
- Apply Cryo while off-field
- Enable Stellar-Conduct
- Enable Stellar Swirl
- Deal Stellar reaction damage
- Increase Stellar Glimmer damage for her teammates
- Support multiple reaction-focused team compositions
That makes Odette both a new playable Snezhnayan character and an introduction to one of Version 7.0’s major new combat mechanics.
Players interested in building her can move from this overview to a dedicated Odette build for more detailed Artifact, weapon, stat, team, and playstyle recommendations.
