Genshin Impact 7.0 Weapons Beta Guide

The most useful fact about the Version 7.0 weapon leak is not a passive percentage. It is the number twelve. Current beta and datamined information describes five Snezhnaya craftable weapons, five new Battle Pass weapons, and two 5-star swords. That is three acquisition systems with three completely different costs, even though early summaries sometimes collapse them into one list of new 4-star weapons.

This guide treats every name, stat, passive, refinement value, and acquisition detail as pre-release information. Version 7.0 launches on August 12, 2026, and the live client will decide the final text. The goal is to build a decision framework now so that players do not spend billets, Battle Pass selections, enhancement ore, or Primogems simply because a large weapon list looks exciting.

The Twelve-Weapon Map

The reported lineup is easiest to understand by ownership cost.

Weapon group	Reported quantity	Main cost	Main decision
Snezhnaya craftable series	5	Billets, regional materials, Mora and ore	Which roster gap deserves limited billets?
New Battle Pass series	5	Paid Battle Pass selection over multiple versions	Which weapon has broad long-term account value?
New 5-star swords	2	Event Wish or a special reported acquisition route	Is the weapon essential, transferable, or replaceable?

The five craftables cover sword, claymore, polearm, catalyst, and bow. The Battle Pass series does the same. The two 5-stars are swords linked in current reporting to Odette and the Traveler-related Version 7.0 content.

Why the Categories Must Stay Separate

A craftable weapon can eventually reach Refinement Rank 5 without weapon-banner pulls, but it consumes billets that may have accumulated slowly for years. A Battle Pass weapon requires repeated paid selections for refinements and competes with every existing Battle Pass option. A 5-star weapon may require a large Primogem commitment, although one of the reported swords may use a story or regional acquisition method rather than a normal banner.

Calling all ten 4-stars a single set hides these costs. A player with several billets but no interest in buying the Battle Pass has access to only half of that group. A player who buys the pass still receives one weapon selection per cycle, not the entire five-weapon family at once.

The practical order is therefore craftable comparison, Battle Pass comparison, and 5-star replacement analysis. Do not begin with a visual tier list that assumes every weapon is equally obtainable.

The Five Snezhnaya Craftable Weapons

Current translated reporting uses names such as Emberwell for the sword, Blade of Atonement or Blade of Redemption for the claymore, Ballad of the Sentinel or Song of the Vigil for the polearm, Echoes of a Resolute Heart for the catalyst, and Frostsnow Oath or Covenant of Frost and Snow for the bow. The variation itself is evidence that these are not reliable final English names.

The family reportedly favors ATK, Elemental Mastery, reaction triggers, and effects connected with Stellar Superconduct or Stellar Swirl. That direction fits Snezhnaya, but a regional theme does not make every weapon universally strong.

Craftable Sword

The leaked craftable sword appears designed for an ATK-oriented user who can satisfy a reaction or team-state condition. Its value depends on passive uptime and whether the effect remains active after switching. Compare it with Finale of the Deep, Amenoma Kageuchi, event swords, and standard-banner options before spending a Northlander or Midlander billet conversion.

Craftable Claymore

The reported claymore belongs to the same reaction-focused family. Claymore accounts often have fewer universal free options than sword accounts, so a strong passive could matter. However, a reaction requirement can make the weapon weak on a physical, Geo, or mono-element user even when the main stat looks acceptable.

Craftable Polearm

The polearm is reported under two translated names and appears to reward a supported combat state rather than simple unconditional damage. Polearm competition is severe: Energy Recharge, CRIT, Elemental Mastery, HP, and attack-scaling users all want different tools. Test whether the final passive solves the target character's real bottleneck.

Craftable Catalyst

The catalyst reportedly interacts with reaction-oriented play and may be attractive to a Stellar support or driver. Catalysts are unusually sensitive to role. A healer, off-field support, on-field driver, and direct damage dealer can all use the same weapon type while valuing completely different statistics.

Craftable Bow

The reported bow completes the set. Its usefulness will depend on whether the trigger can be maintained from off field and whether the target user needs the secondary stat. Compare it with Favonius Warbow, Stringless, craftable alternatives, and event weapons before assuming a higher refinement is automatically better.

Billets Are the Real Crafting Price

Mora and ore can be farmed repeatedly. Billets are less predictable. A player should not craft all five weapons on the first day merely to complete a regional collection.

First, identify characters with no functional weapon. Second, identify which leaked passive clearly matches a rotation those characters already use. Third, craft one copy and test at Refinement Rank 1 before committing four more billets.

Refinement value must be measured against opportunity cost. If each refinement only adds a small conditional bonus, five separate Rank 1 weapons may improve the account more than one Rank 5 weapon. If a passive scales dramatically and the weapon has one permanent owner, deeper refinement can be justified.

Keep Dream Solvent and billet-conversion rules in mind, but do not convert every billet category until the final recipe is visible. The Snezhnaya forge may use a new regional billet form or an exchange rule that is easier to understand after launch.

The Five New Battle Pass Weapons

The second reported 4-star group is a new Battle Pass family, not a second craftable set and not a normal gacha set. It again covers all five weapon types.

A Battle Pass weapon has two layers of value. The first is how much it improves one target character. The second is how often it can move between characters when teams change. A narrow weapon can be excellent for a favorite, but a flexible weapon usually gives more value from a paid selection.

Do not plan five refinements at once. Reaching Refinement Rank 5 can require selecting the same weapon over five Battle Pass cycles. During that period, new characters, reruns, event weapons, and balance changes may alter the account's needs.

The best first copy is usually the weapon that immediately replaces a weak option on a frequently used character. The best refinement target is the weapon whose passive gains meaningful value without requiring an unreliable trigger. Those can be different weapons.

Before selecting, compare the new family with Serpent Spine, Deathmatch, The Black Sword, Solar Pearl, Scion of the Blazing Sun, and the other established Battle Pass choices available on the account. A new regional label does not erase years of proven performance.

The Two Reported 5-Star Swords

One reported 5-star sword is associated with Odette. A signature weapon normally aligns its base stats and passive with the character's preferred rotation, but that does not automatically make it necessary. Odette's live trial, final Energy needs, reaction ownership, and accessible alternatives should be evaluated first.

The second sword is associated with the Traveler and Version 7.0 story content. Some pre-release reports describe it as obtainable outside a conventional weapon banner. That acquisition claim must be verified through the live quest, event, or official reward notice. Until then, it should not be advertised as a guaranteed free 5-star weapon.

Transfer value is especially important for both swords. A weapon that only functions with a Stellar Linchpin or one narrow state may lose value when moved. A weapon with broadly usable stats can remain valuable even after the original character leaves the active team.

If Odette is the pull target, budget character pity and weapon pity separately. Do not treat the remaining Primogems after obtaining the character as automatically sufficient for the sword.

A Replacement Test for Every Weapon

Use the same five-step comparison for all twelve weapons.

Record the target character's current weapon, refinement, and level.
Identify the exact statistic or passive problem the new weapon solves.
Check whether the trigger works in the real rotation, including off-field time.
Compare Energy stability and team damage, not only one personal hit.
Include the acquisition cost and the characters losing access to the old weapon.

A 10% personal increase can be a poor account upgrade if it consumes the only universal weapon needed by another team. A smaller increase can be excellent if the craftable weapon frees a premium option for the second side.

What to Pre-Farm Safely

Weapon enhancement ore, Mora, and general character resources are safe to save. Specific Snezhnaya weapon ascension materials should wait until the final domains and schedules are visible. Beta icons and translated material names can change.

Billets should be preserved rather than spent. Battle Pass buyers can delay the selection until near the claim deadline if the interface permits, allowing more time for live testing. Primogems should remain assigned to character and weapon budgets rather than treated as one shared pool.

Players planning purchases can compare available account-currency options through Topuplist and the dedicated Genshin Impact top-up page. Verify the server, account identifier, amount, and final price before payment, and never let a leaked weapon passive determine a purchase by itself.

What Can Still Change

Beta weapon changes can affect base ATK, secondary stat, passive percentages, duration, stacks, trigger cooldown, off-field behavior, and refinement scaling. Acquisition can also change. A weapon shown in a database does not prove that it will be on a banner, in a quest, in the Battle Pass, or at the forge exactly as reported.

Localization creates another risk. Two English names for the same item may circulate simultaneously. Use the final client name in a published build guide after August 12 and preserve the old beta name only when explaining the history of a leak.

The weapon count is more stable than the individual rankings. Twelve reported weapons indicate a broad equipment expansion, but only live data can determine whether all twelve arrive together and retain their current categories.

A Purchase and Crafting Order

On launch day, read the forge recipes and archive entries. Do not craft or pull yet. Complete character trials and determine which teams will actually be played.

During the first week, test existing weapons on new characters. If a craftable clearly fixes a gap, make one copy. If a Battle Pass selection is approaching expiration, choose based on account-wide transfer value. Wait for reliable calculations before pursuing refinements.

Consider a 5-star sword only after the target character is secured and the accessible alternatives have been tested. The signature weapon is the final optimization layer, not the first requirement for making a character functional.

The Version 7.0 armory is valuable because it creates options. The correct response is not collecting all twelve immediately. It is matching the cheapest effective option to each real roster problem.

FAQ

How many new weapons are reported for Genshin Impact 7.0?

Current beta reporting lists twelve: five craftable 4-stars, five Battle Pass 4-stars, and two 5-star swords.

Are the five new Battle Pass weapons craftable?

No. They are reported as a separate paid Battle Pass family. The five Snezhnaya forge weapons are the craftable group.

Should I save weapon billets before Version 7.0?

Yes, if any new craftable may serve your roster. Wait for final recipes and passives, then test one copy before committing to high refinement.

Is the Traveler's reported 5-star sword free?

Some pre-release reports suggest a non-banner acquisition method, but the exact route must be verified in the live game or an official reward notice. Do not treat it as guaranteed yet.

Confirm that the character is secured and that accessible alternatives are insufficient. Then review payment options through Topuplist's official website and the Genshin Impact recharge page, checking the server and amount before payment.
