Anastasya and Danica in Genshin 7.3

Anastasya

Anastasya is the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon who rules Snezhnaya. She is expected to debut as a new 5-star Cryo character in Version 7.3, although her weapon type, combat role, and complete kit have not been officially revealed.

Travelers interested in the Archons or expanding their Cryo roster should watch for her official gameplay details before deciding how many Primogems to prepare.

DanicaDanica is expected to be a new 5-star Electro character. Current information positions her as a support for Stellar-Conduct teams, potentially making her valuable for players who already use Electro and Cryo characters.

Her final pull value will depend on the strength of her buffs, team flexibility, and compatibility with existing Stellar-Conduct characters.

Who Should You Pull in Genshin 7.3?

Choose Anastasya if you plan to build Stellar Glimmer Reaction teams or want another Archon for your roster. As the Cryo Archon, she is expected to be a core character within the Stellar Glimmer Reaction system, giving her particularly high value for players investing in these teams.

Choose Danica if you are building a Stellar-Conduct team and need an Electro character designed for that playstyle. Players without suitable Electro and Cryo teammates may want to wait for complete team testing.

Sandrone is a Cryo Claymore damage dealer centered on Stellar-Conduct. Her rerun is more valuable for players who already have the teammates needed to support her on-field rotations.

Lohen is a Cryo Polearm damage dealer with strong Cryo application. Consider him if your account needs a dedicated Cryo carry and already has compatible supports.

How Many Primogems Do You Need for Genshin 7.3?

A 5-star character is guaranteed within 90 wishes. If your next 5-star is still subject to the 50/50, you may need up to 180 wishes to guarantee the featured character.

The character-and-weapon total assumes up to 180 wishes for the character and 160 wishes for the selected weapon.

Your actual requirement may be lower if you already have pity, a guarantee, Intertwined Fates, or Genesis Crystals. Character Event Wish pity carries between phases. Weapon pity also carries over, but Fate Points reset when the weapon banner changes.

If you plan to pull characters from both phases, set a clear limit for each banner first. Travelers who still need additional Genesis Crystals can use UUTOP's Genshin Impact top-up service after calculating their remaining wishes.
