Vesna is a 5-star, On-Field Anemo Sword user in Genshin Impact. She does most of her damage after entering her enhanced state by activating her Skill. In this state, her attacks gain an Anemo infusion, and she can build stacks of Sword Essence that will let her use her special Elemental Skill after generating enough Sword Essence.

Vesna's special Skill will summon a Spirit Blade once she uses it at least twice. The Spirit Blade will deal Stellar Swirl DMG if Vesna is in the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state.

SS-SS--

In battle, Vesna takes on anOn-FieldDPS role. Her Elemental Skill activates her Armed for Action state, letting her deal Anemo DMG through her infused attacks. Attacking in this state generates Sword Essence, which are used to activate her special Elemental Skill. Every time Vesna uses the special Skill, it gains a level, and at level 2 and 3, she summons a Spirit Blade to attack alongside her. The blade will deal direct Stellar Swirl DMG if Vesna is in the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state.

Vesna’s Roles, Playstyle, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Stellar Swirl DPS

Vesna is a 5-star Anemo On-Field DPS who deals direct Stellar Swirl damage after entering her special Skill state where she gains stacks to enable her special Elemental Skill. Most of her DPS comes from her special Skill, since it is considered direct Stellar Swirl DMG when Vesna is in the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state.

Pros and Cons of On-Field Stellar Swirl DPS Vesna

Pros
- Easy to play.
- Playstyle is very mobile and with a visibly wide AoE, allowing her to stay viable into all types of combat content.
- Vesna's teams might still see a teammate upgrade as more Snezhnaya characters are released.
Cons
- Prefers to have at least two Cryo teammates for consistent Stellar Swirl triggers.
- Vesna's Stellar Swirl-focused abilities make her more dependent on dedicated reaction supports than a conventional Anemo DPS.
- Is not immune to knockback or interruption from enemy attacks while in Skill stance.

Best Build for Vesna

Like other On-Field DPSes, Vesna benefits from offensive stats that strengthen her personal output, with CRIT, ATK and a bit of Elemental Mastery benefitting both her direct Stellar Swirl DMG and the reaction DMG dealt by the Stellar Swirl Vortexes. See below for our top recommendations:

A balanced CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio of around 1:2 is generally ideal for maintaining consistent damage output. ATK remains one of Vesna's main offensive priorities, but having a decent amount of Elemental Mastery should still result in a damage increase.

Best Weapon for Vesna

Since many of her abilities highlight her personal damage and Stellar Swirl, Vesna will naturally prefer weapons that will further increase her DPS potential by providing offensive stats like CRIT and ATK%. See below for our top recommendations:

- The passives goes through a CRIT DMG buff, a Stellar Swirl DMG% buff and an Energy Regen effect every time the equipping character uses their Skill or Burst. An activated effect will not replace or remove the previous one, making it so that all three exist at the same time after some ramp up time.

- The Energy restoration effect helps Vesna activate her Burst every rotation while also allowing more room for offensive stats like CRIT on her Artifacts over Energy Regen.
- Vesna's second best limited weapon option since its the only other 5-star sword that directly interacts with Stellar Glimmer mechanics.

- These are all viable CRIT stat sticks that provide Vesna with useful offensive stats.
- Their passives also provide some form of ATK and/or Elemental Mastery-related benefit, giving them additional value beyond their CRIT main stats.
- While their passives are not specifically tailored to Vesna, their combination of CRIT and useful ATK/EM effects makes them reliable alternatives for her personal damage.

- A CRIT DMG main stat sword that'll let you reach an appealing CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio on Vesna.
- The passive supplies decent ATK% and Elemental Mastery buffs that only require Vesna to hit enemies with her Skill within a given timeframe.
- Being in the Radiance state increases the ATK% buff and applies a Stellar Glimmer DMG% boost as well.
- This weapon should be Vesna's best 4-star option overall, especially if you can get multiple copies of it to increase its Refinement Level.

- Its passive can provide additional ATK after using her Elemental Skill, further improving her personal damage.
- A good option if you have access to the Battle Pass, and it performs best at Refinement Level 5 (R5).

Vesna is primarily an On-Field DPS, so it's expected of her to perform at her best when equipped with a DPS weapon that supplies her with ATK, EM, or CRIT. CRIT main-stat swords are generally preferred, but ATK and EM weapons can also be considered if you manage a decent CRIT Rate to DMG ratio via Vesna's Artifacts alone.

- The Elemental Mastery main-stat gives Vesna additional value for her direct Stellar Swirl DMG.
- It also increases ATK after triggering an Elemental Reaction and provides additional Stellar Swirl reaction DMG after triggering said reaction.
- These buffs make Emberwell a particularly good fit for Vesna, notably due to the fact that her being Anemo means she will always be the one triggering Stellar swirl, therefor allowing consistent uptime on the passive.
- Best at Refinement Level 5 (R5).

For Free-to-Play options, craftable swords with ATK or Elemental Mastery are the most suitable choices for Vesna. Emberwell provides the best lineup of buffs for her as a Stellar Swirl DPS, while Finale of the Deep and the generous ATK it supplies her is also a serviceable alternative.

Vesna Best Artifacts

Vesna's current role appears to be that of dedicated On-Field Stellar Swirl DPS. As such, she will likely favor sets that can improve her personal damage. See below for our top recommendations:

Scarlet ProofScarlet Proof
★★★★★

- A Stellar Swirl-oriented set that appears to be designed to support characters focused on the reaction.
- Its effects should naturally complement Vesna's current role as a dedicated Stellar Swirl On-Field DPS thanks to the additional CRIT Rate and Stellar Swirl reaction DMG increase.
- Vesna's best overall set that you should aim to get a good 4-piece set of most of the time.
Viridescent VenererViridescent Venerer
★★★★・

- A strong alternative that provides Anemo DMG from its 2-piece effect and increases Swirl DMG with its 4-piece effect.
- Its Elemental RES reduction can also help increase both her own and her teammates' personal damage.
- Should be a serviceable alternative to her best-in-slot set due to still having synergy with her intended playstyle, and even more so if you don't have another Anemo character on the team who can equip and trigger the passive effect.
Gladiator 2-piece ATK%
Heart of the Furnace 2-piece ATK%
★★★・・

- Any mixed sets that pair the stats that benefit Vesna the most can function as decent transitional sets, especially for new players who do not yet have access to her other options.
- Aside from the two sets listed here, you can mix and match 2-piece set effects while farming for a full 4-piece set.
- The setup is not strict, and you can also use any combination of Elemental Mastery and ATK% 2-piece set artifacts.
- ATK% is slightly more favored than Elemental Mastery (EM).

Focus on Energy Requirements First

Striving to have Vesna use her Elemental Burst every rotation has several advantages. Not only does it deal direct Stellar Swirl DMG when Vesna is in the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state, but it will also grant her a stack of Sword Essence, meaning it contributes to her gaining uses of her special Elemental Skill, which is her primary damage source.

It's recommended to aim to meet Vesna's Energy Recharge (ER) stat requirements first before proceeding to balancing her CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and ATK%.

Vesna's Team Rotations and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for On-Field DPS Vesna

Basic Rotation For On-Field DPS Vesna
1. Start the rotation with your Off-Field supports and Sub-DPS characters, prioritizing abilities with longer durations first.
2. Use your Stellar Swirl setup before switching to Vesna so that Radiance: Stellar Swirl is active when she takes the field.
3. Switch to Vesna and use her Elemental Skill to enter her enhanced state: Armed for Action.
4. Use Vesna's infused attacks to build Sword Essence stacks. Use her special Skill after whenever you gain enough Sword Essence to do so.
5. Use her Elemental Burst during her enhanced state when available to deal additional Stellar Swirl DMG and gain an additional stack of Sword Essence.
6. Keep building Sword Essence and using her Special Skill until her Skill state or mode ends.
7. Repeat from Step 1.

Vesna's rotation revolves around setting up Stellar Swirl before she takes the field, then maximizing the duration of her enhanced state with her Spirit Blade attacks.

Her general gameplay loop involves building stacks in her Armed for Action mode through her Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks and Elemental Burst, before following it with her special Skill that will deal direct Stellar Swirl DMG.

Note!Because her Spirit Blade and Ascension 1 Passive all require her to use her special Skill repeatedly to reach its maximum damage potential, you will need to go through the process of building stacks then using her special Skill several times for the best average DPS.

Tip!Avoid spamming the Skill if you can. One indicator for when to use her special Skill after a Charged Attack is the (thump) audio cue of Vesna hitting the ground.

This combo allows you to quickly cycle through the first three special Skill activations needed to reach Level 3 on Vesna's Special Skill as well as max out her Disciplinary Action stacks from her Ascension 1 passive, letting you use 2 fully buffed Spirit Blade attacks.

Note!The combo also involves using her special Skill immediately after the Charged Attack to cancel the Charged Attack animation, but if you use her special Skill too early, it can cause a shortage in Sword Essence needed to activate her special Skill twice after the first three.

Basics of Using Vesna (Beginner Guide)

Vesna Genshin Impact

On-Field DPS for Stellar Swirl

Vesna is an On-Field Anemo damage dealer who is presented as a dedicated Stellar Swirl DPS. She uses her Elemental Skill to enter an enhanced state, allowing her to deal Anemo DMG with her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks while stacking a unique resource called Sword Essence.

After gaining a stack of Sword Essence, Vesna will gain access to her special Elemental Skill, which is her primary source of damage.

Convert Cryo Swirl Into Stellar Swirl

Vesna Genshin Impact

Vesna is one of the few characters with a Stellar Linchpin instead of a normal elemental Vision. Like other Stellar Linchpin users, having her in the party converts a specific reaction into its Stellar variant. In her case, Vesna will turn any Cryo Swirl triggered into Stellar Swirl. Additionally, she will also increase the Base DMG dealt by the reaction according to her ATK stat.

Enter Radiance States Through Stellar Reactions

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer State Effects
Radiance: Stellar Swirl State
Cryo plus AnemoCryo
+
Anemo
When Stellar Swirl is triggered, it creates a Stellar Vortex near the affected enemy. The Vortex will explode, dealing Cryo DMG, at a set interval. Every time the Stellar Swirl happens, the level and damage of the Vortex and its ensuing explosion is increased. Triggering the reaction the first time also causes the party to enter the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state.

After triggering Stellar Swirl the first time, everyone in the party enters a state called Radiance: Stellar Swirl. This state by itself does not give a general buff, but is an important requirement to trigger specific effects on a certain character's ability. The additional bonuses or enabled abilities granted by the Radiance state vary from character to character.

For Vesna, being in the Radiance state lets her Spirit Blades deal direct Stellar Swirl DMG.

Summon Spirit Blades Using Skill

Vesna Genshin Impact

When Vesna activates her Elemental Skill, she enters a mode or stance called Armed for Action and gains a resource called Sword Essence whenever she hits enemies with her now Anemo-infused Normal, Charged, and Plunging attacks.

Once she gains enough Sword Essence, Vesna will be able to use her special Elemental Skill called Windborne Sword.

Note!Vesna can store up to 3 stacks of Sword Essence.

Spirit Blade Occurs After Using Elemental Skill Twice

Vesna Genshin Impact

▲ Vesna's special Elemental Skill.

Every time Vesna uses her special Skill, it will increase the level of the special Skill by 1. The 2nd and 3rd levels are when the special Skill generates or summons a Spirit Blade to attack alongside Vesna. The Spirit Blade will initially deal Anemo DMG whenever Vesna hits an enemy.

If Vesna is in the, Radiance: Stellar Swirl state, which she always will be if you use her in a proper team with the right rotation, then any Spirit Blade created will instead deal direct Stellar Swirl DMG.

Gain Sword Essence Through Abilities

To use her special Skill, Vesna needs to generate Sword Essence by activating abilities or hitting enemies. This means her core gameplay loop will consist of her entering her Armed for Action Skill mode, using Normal Attacks to build Essence, and then using her special Skill whenever possible.

Note!Vesna will exit her Skill mode after she uses her 3rd-level special Skill three (3) times, giving her a total of six (6) special Skill uses in one rotation.

Burst Also Creates Spirit Blades

Vesna Genshin Impact

Once activated, Vesna's Elemental Burst summons multiple Spirit Blades before attacking a nearby opponent. While in Radiance: Stellar Swirl, the same effect applies, wherein these Spirit Blades will now deal Stellar Swirl DMG.

Stack Disciplinary Action for More Damage

Apart from Sword Essence, Vesna has an additional stacking resource called Disciplinary Action, which is tied to her first Ascension passive. Whenever she uses her special Skill or her Burst, she gains a stack of Disciplinary Action.

These stacks will increase the damage dealt by the Spirit Blade based on the current total that Vesna has. She can stack up to six (6) Disciplinary Actions, which will then reset after you swap out of Vesna or if you use her regular Elemental Skill again.

Vesna Can Travel Using Her Wings

Vesna Flying Genshin Impact

Vesna has a unique sprint where she utilizes her wings, which are characteristic of the Vila Fae in Snezhnaya, as a means of spanning distances. This sprint of hers also consumes stamina like other characters, but is noticeably faster and includes vertical traversal as well.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Vesna

How To Use Vesna's Skills & Passives?

On-Field DPS For Stellar Swirl Teams

Basic Rotation Of Vesna
1. Begin the rotation with the other supports first, ideally starting with the characters that have longer ability durations, then shorter durations.
2. Trigger Stellar Swirl to activate Radiance: Stellar Swirl before switching to Vesna.
3. Swap to Vesna and use her Skill to enter Armed for Action.
4. Use her Spirit Blade attacks and special Skill while taking advantage of Radiance: Stellar Swirl.
5. Use Vesna's Burst while her enhanced state is active.
6. Swap back to the other characters once Vesna's field time ends and repeat from Step 1.

Vesna's abilities are designed around dealing Stellar Swirl DMG while she is on the field. She reaches her full potential in teams that can consistently trigger Stellar Swirl and allow her to make use of her enhanced attacks.

Stellar Jubilee Passive Description
IconStellar Jubilee Passive Description
Stellar Jubilee: Splendid PreludeStellar Jubilee: Splendid PreludeWhen party members trigger Cryo Swirl, it will be changed to a Stellar Swirl reaction, and party members' Base DMG for the Stellar Swirl will be increased based on Vesna's ATK. Every 100 ATK she has increases the Base Stellar Swirl DMG by 0.7%. The maximum DMG increase that can be gained this way is 14%.
After a party member triggers a Stellar Swirl reaction nearby, Vesna enters the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state for 8s.
Stellar Vortex Description
Stellar Vortex Description
Stellar Vortex Description
When Anemo meets Cryo, and certain other conditions are met, a special Stellar Swirl reaction is triggered. This deals an instance of Anemo DMG to the opponent and generates a Stellar Vortex.
Triggering Stellar Swirl multiple times raises the level of the Stellar Vortex, which explodes after a certain time or after a certain number of Stellar Swirl reactions have been triggered. This deals AoE Cryo DMG to nearby opponents.
The aforementioned DMG can CRIT.
Up to one Stellar Vortex can exist on the field within a certain range. A Stellar Vortex on the field will level up to Lv. 2 after a certain number of Stellar Swirl reactions have been triggered. A higher-level Vortex deals more AoE Cryo DMG to opponents over a wider area when it explodes.
After a Stellar Swirl reaction is triggered, certain nearby characters will also enter the Radiance: Stellar Swirl effect for 8s, which enhances certain Talents and skill effects.
Certain characters can use their Talents to deal Stellar Swirl reaction DMG to opponents. This DMG can trigger CRIT Hits.
When the Stellar Vortex explodes, it will also grant nearby characters the ability to jump higher once, for a short time.

Vesna has an Anemo Stellar Linchpin, and like other characters with the same vision type, this means she can convert a triggered Cryo-related reaction into a Stellar Variant, which is Stellar Swirl.

After she or a nearby party member triggers Stellar Swirl, Vesna can enter this state to start dealing direct Stellar Swirl DMG through her Elemental Skill. Additionally, her Stellar Jubilee passive (like other similar passives) will increase the base damage dealt by Stellar Swirl based on Vesna's ATK.

Note!Stellar Glimmer DMG, which includes Stellar Swirl, is not affected by generic DMG% buffs, but by specific ones labeled Stellar Glimmer or Stellar Swirl DMG% boosts respectively.

Vesna's Elemental Skill allows her to enter her Armed for Action enhanced state or mode, where her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks gain an Anemo infusion after summoning a wind pinion. While in this state, she will start stacking a resource called Sword Essence every time her infused attacks hit an enemy.

Since her strongest hit is tied to her 3rd-level Windborne Sword Spirit Blade attacks, Vesna's damage has some ramp up time before she can reach her full damage potential.

Vesna has multiple stacking resources in her kit, which she will generate perpetually as she uses her abilities and hits enemies. One of those stacks is called Sword Essence, and is what allows her to special Elemental Skill so long as she is in her Skill stance or mode.

Note!Vesna can hold up to three (3) Sword Essence, but her special Skill only needs and consumes one (1) stack of Sword Essence per use.

Use Burst For Stacks and Damage


Elemental Burst Description

Vesna's Elemental Burst summons multiple Spirit Blades that deal AoE Anemo DMG. Similar to her Skill, these blade will count as direct Stellar Swirl DMG if Vesna is in the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state.

Apart from contributing to her personal damage, you should aim to use Vesna's Burst every rotation since it generates ▲Sword Essence and ▼Disciplinary Action stacks.

Ascension 4 Passive Description
IconAscension 4 Passive Description
Truth PrevailsTruth PrevailsRadiance: Stellar Swirl:
Vesna will gain the corresponding effect based on the Elemental Type of her party members:
· For every Cryo or Anemo character in her current party, Vesna's ATK increases by 6%; and
· For every character of all other Elemental Types in her current party, Vesna's Elemental Mastery increases by 25 instead.

One of Vesna's Ascension passives rewards her with a stat increase depending on the current elemental lineup of her team. While having extra Elemental Mastery is nice, it's still recommended to build Vesna's team with two Cryo characters (for application and Cryo Resonance) and an additional Anemo teammate (for Energy particles) for the best results.

This passive gives Vesna even more incentive to build her teams that way, especially since Stellar Swirl doesn't have a dedicated ATK% buffer like Stellar Conduct through Alyosha.

Increase Spirit Blade DMG Through Special Skill and Burst

Ascension 1 Passive Description
IconAscension 1 Passive Description
Rite of SpringRite of Spring's ProcessionAfter Vesna uses the ▲special Elemental Skill Windborne Sword or the ▲Elemental Burst For the Tsaritsa!, she also gains 1 stack of Disciplinary Action which lasts 20s. Max 6 stacks, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others'.
When she has Disciplinary Action stacks active, the Spirit Blade summoned by Vesna will deal DMG at 100% of original DMG + (10% × Disciplinary Action stack count) instead. All active stacks of Disciplinary Action are cleared when Vesna uses the Elemental Skill The Art of Victory or when she leaves the field.

The other Ascension passive that Vesna has will further buff the damage dealt by her Spirit Blade each time she executes her special Elemental Skill and/or Elemental Burst.

The Disciplinary Action stacks further reinforce her 'ramp-up' type gameplay since she needs to generate the stacks first before gaining the buff.

Special Sprint Can Be Used for Travel

Vesna Genshin Impact
Utility Passive Description
IconUtility Passive Description
The Grand CircuitThe Grand CircuitHolding on Sprint or Jump when Vesna is not in combat will cause her to enter the Coursing state.
Coursing
Continuously consumes Stamina to hover in mid-air. Sprinting or tapping Jump to go higher expends additional Stamina. Including the hold on Jump that triggers Coursing, Vesna can go higher up to 3 times in each instance of the Coursing state.
Additionally, in Snezhnaya (excluding Nod-Krai), when Vesna is switched onto the field while the currently active party member is in mid-air and not in combat, she will immediately enter the Coursing state and regenerate 50 Stamina. This effect can trigger once every 10s, and does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss.

Unlike other characters, Vesna's Sprint and Jump can be replaced by a special state where she uses her wings to fly. This state consumes regular stamina, and can travel a decent amount of distance which is perfectly suited for exploration and fast travel.

This mechanic also has a feature similar to Natlan character where switching into her from any other airborne party member will cause her to immediately start flying.

Note!Holding Sprint consumes less stamina when entering the Coursing state than holding jump.

Should You Pull for Vesna's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Prioritize Vesna's Constellations

Signature VS Constellations
C2 > Beyond the Chrysalis Beyond the Chrysalis >= C1

Vesna's C2 Is Her Strongest Constellation

Vesna's DPS gains a notable boost through her C2, which makes it so that she gains the maximum amount of stacks from her Rite of Spring's Procession passive as soon as she enters her Skill state. This means the peak of her damage comes online immediately, eliminating the ramp up time she'd normally take at baseline investments. It also ties in well with her C1 that lets her use the highest level of her special Skill more times than usual.

It's because of this reason that, if you have enough wishes for it, getting Vesna's C2 is her strongest personal vertical investment option outside of going all the way to C6.

Vesna's Signature Weapon Offers Substantial Stat Boosts

While getting Vesna's C2 results in the most notable damage gain, it comes with a steep cost that most players may not have readily available. If you cannot guarantee her C2, then you can consider getting her Signature Weapon instead, especially if the other weapon on the banner is of some use to you.

It's still going to be Vesna's best-in-slot by far, and the value further increases if your only options are 4-star swords. It's passive that gives a sizeable CRIT DMG buff is also fairly accessible to most On-Field sword DPSes as well, so it has the added benefit of being somewhat universal.

The Art of Victory (Elemental Skill)

Effect
Calls forth a Spirit Blade passed down through generations of the Vila to deal AoE Anemo DMG, then switches to the Armed for Action mode and gains 2 stacks of Sword Essence.

Armed for Action

Effect
DMG dealt by Vesna with her Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks become Anemo DMG that cannot be overridden by another elemental infusion instead. She will also summon a wind pinion that attacks the opponent at the same time, dealing additional Anemo DMG. Each time the wind pinion is summoned, Vesna will regenerate a certain amount of Sword Essence.
Vesna can consume Sword Essence to unleash the special Elemental Skill Windborne Sword, which deals to the opponent Anemo DMG.
Each use of the special Elemental Skill Windborne Sword in the same instance of Armed for Action will increase the level of Windborne Sword, beginning from Lv. 1 to Lv. 3 max, for more Anemo DMG. Using Windborne Sword at Lv. 2 and Lv. 3 will also summon a Spirit Blade which deals Anemo DMG.
Vesna will exit the mode when its duration ends or when she has used Windborne Sword at the highest level 3 times. Exiting will clear all remaining Sword Essence she has accrued.
Additionally, when in this mode, Vesna's resistance to interruption is increased.

Stellar Jubilee: Splendid Prelude

Effect
When party members trigger Cryo Swirl, it will be changed to a Stellar Swirl reaction, and party members' Base DMG for the Stellar Swirl will be increased based on Vesna's ATK. Every 100 ATK she has increases the Base Stellar Swirl DMG by 0.7%. The maximum DMG increase that can be gained this way is 14%.

When she has Disciplinary Action stacks active, the Spirit Blade summoned by Vesna will deal DMG at 100% of original DMG + (10% × Disciplinary Action stack count) instead. All active stacks of Disciplinary Action are cleared when Vesna uses the Elemental Skill The Art of Victory or when she leaves the field.

Who Is Vesna?

Commander of the Druzhna

Vesna Genshin Impact

Vesna is the official Commander of the Druzhna, the force wielded by the Tsaritsa herself. She is also a member of the ancient Strivozha clan, a Vila bloodline that has existed since long before Snezhnaya's early history.

She achieved this position through her own skills and accomplishments, which came off as a surprise considering how young she seems, at least by Fae standards.

Loyal to the Tsaritsa and Snezhnaya

Vesna Genshin Impact

Vesna is known as the Snowy Banquet's Sharp Blade and is described as the keenest edge of the Druzhna. Despite being relatively young among the Vila, she has already earned a strong reputation through her accomplishments and remains unwavering in her faith in the Tsaritsa and Snezhnaya.

She works closely beside the Tsaritsa alongside Danica.

A Free Spirit

Vesna Genshin Impact

Vesna is described as radiant and graceful, with an effortless refinement and quiet poise. However, she is also a free spirit who refuses to be bound by the norms of polite society, which can lead to surprising antics such as driving trains at reckless speeds or secretly placing sour lemon slices on a colleague's plate.

One of Capitano's Mentees

Vesna Genshin Impact

Vesna was revealed to have been taught combat by Capitano alongside Danica. The two seem to share a close bond as a result.

Voicelines About Vesna
OdetteOdetteDon't be thinking she's some dainty, harmless butterfly just because of those wings. People may flock to her, but she's the commander-in-chief of the Druzhna — one of the fiercest predators on the tundra. Keep your eyes wide open, and don't be fooled by her smile.
