Genshin Impact Leaks Claim Vesna Is a Stellar-Swirl DPS as New Playability Rumors Surface for the Fatui and Rhinedottir

A fresh wave of Genshin Impact leaks is providing more insight into HoYoverse's long-term plans for the Snezhnaya update cycle. While the Version 7.1 beta is expected to begin soon, insiders continue to share early information regarding upcoming characters and the future of several important story figures.

Today's discussion centers on Vesna's rumored combat role together with new claims regarding the playability of some of the game's most anticipated NPCs.

Vesna Reportedly Built Around Stellar-Swirl

According to the latest leak, Vesna is currently designed as a Stellar-Swirl DPS, making her one of the first characters dedicated to the new Stellar reaction system introduced during the Snezhnaya expansion.

Earlier official information confirmed that the Stellar system currently consists of only Stellar-Swirl and Stellar-Conduct, with HoYoverse stating that no additional Stellar reaction variants are planned at this time.

If the new leak is accurate, Vesna could become the first primary damage dealer whose gameplay is centered almost entirely around Stellar-Swirl, giving players an early look at how HoYoverse intends the new reaction to shape future team compositions.

However, without access to the Version 7.1 beta, the exact mechanics of her abilities remain unknown. Players are still waiting for gameplay footage, talent descriptions and numerical values that will clarify how Stellar-Swirl functions in practice.

Pulcinella and Ronova Reportedly Have No Playable Plans

Another claim circulating today concerns the future of several major story characters.

According to current insider reports, Pulcinella and Ronova do not currently have plans to become playable characters.

Pulcinella, one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the Mayor of Snezhnograd, made a strong impression during the Version 7.0 story reveal. Likewise, Ronova attracted significant attention after players received their first official look at her updated in-game model during the Snezhnaya Special Program.

Despite their growing importance within the story, today's rumors suggest that neither character is currently scheduled for release as a playable unit.

It is worth emphasizing that "no current plans" does not necessarily mean "never playable." HoYoverse has previously delayed playable versions of important characters for several years, making long-term development plans difficult to predict.

Pantalone and Rhinedottir Remain Uncertain

While the outlook for Pulcinella and Ronova appears pessimistic according to today's rumors, the situation surrounding Pantalone and Rhinedottir is reportedly less clear.

Current leaks state that their playability remains unknown, with no reliable information indicating whether either character is actively being developed as a future playable unit.

Both characters occupy significant roles within Genshin Impact's lore.

Pantalone, also known as Regrator, is the Ninth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and one of the most influential figures within Snezhnaya's economic structure.

Meanwhile, Rhinedottir, often referred to as Gold, is one of the most mysterious individuals in the game's history due to her connection with Khaenri'ah, Albedo and several major lore events.

Given their narrative importance, it would not be surprising if HoYoverse eventually made them playable. However, today's leaks provide no indication of when that could happen.

The Version 7.1 Beta May Provide More Answers

Fortunately, players may not need to wait long before receiving more reliable information.

The Version 7.1 beta is expected to begin soon, with Vesna and Vodyanitsa serving as its featured characters. Once testing starts, gameplay videos, animations, talent descriptions and balancing changes are likely to provide a much clearer picture of Vesna's role as a potential Stellar-Swirl damage dealer.

Until then, today's reports should be viewed as early insider information rather than confirmed development plans.

As always, character roles, release schedules and playability decisions can change significantly during development. While some rumors eventually prove accurate, others may reflect outdated concepts or internal prototypes that never reach the live version of the game.

For now, the community's attention remains focused on the upcoming beta, where players hope to learn more about Vesna, Vodyanitsa and the future direction of the Stellar combat system introduced in Snezhnaya.
