Which event leg should I take for the Genshin Impact Anniversary in Patch 7.1?

To choose the best character in the "Tabletop Troupe: Adventure's Eve" event, you need to understand which squads heroes can join and what they bring to your account.

Baizhu

Bai Zhu and Chang Sheng

Baizhu (Dendro, catalyst) He occupies the support slot, healing allies with his abilities. His ultimate grants a shield that periodically refreshes, heals the active companion, and slightly increases interrupt resistance. His skill heals the entire team at once. His passive talents buff Dendro's damage from reactions based on his health, including Lunar-Bloom.

In hard content, the Herbalist can find a place in a Lunar Budding team, which currently lacks a signature healer support.

Nilou

Nilu (Hydro, one-handed sword) She has hybrid abilities and can act as both a driver and a support character for another active character. Her skill has two forms: in the first, her punches are Hydro-infused, and in the second, she creates an aura around herself that inflicts a status effect. All the key benefits are in the passive: when the team only has Dendro and Hydro companions, the cores of regular Budding are transformed into a more powerful form.

In the current meta, the girl plays only in Lunar Budding teams, but in this case, the heroine definitely needs to have a second constellation.

Varesa

Varesa (Electro, catalyst) — Primary damage dealer from falling attacks, triggered by skills or charged attacks. Can move quickly in the open world and isn't tied to any specific reaction, though in the current meta, she performs better with Lunar Charge or Overcharge.

Star Superconduct She doesn't deal direct damage, but buffs heroes on the field and increases the Stellar damage specified in talents, and in such compositions she can only be a driver on the field.

Tartaglia

Tartaglia (Hydro, bow) He takes the position of a driver-damage dealer under the Pyro sub-DD. He has a unique mechanic for switching between two weapons: he can use a bow in battle and fire it, or switch to a stance with two water blades. His ultimate also has two forms depending on the current stance.

Like all old Hydro satellites, the Fatui Harbinger can only be used in commands through Lunar Reactions in the current situation. The hero also has access to commands with By secret rite, where he will act as a damage driver under Durin the Dragon in a dark stand.

Chiori

Chiori (Geo, one-handed sword) — a sub-DD that deals damage with an elemental skill. She summons a doll onto the field that deals Geo damage every 3,6 seconds. For comfortable play, she requires Geo constructs on the field, which increase her own damage. These can be created by other companions of the same element or summoned. Moon crystal.

From meta squads, he joins Moon Crystal teams or groups boss of Navia with the Secret Rite, in which Tiori can replace Alchemist Albedo.

Clorinde

Clorinda (Electro, one-handed sword) She takes the main damage dealer position based on reactions with her element. Her skill allows her to enter an infusion stance, allowing her to fire a musket or dash forward. She's heavily tied to Electro reactions and mechanics. Bond of Life, but, unlike the Harlequin harbinger, has a positive attitude towards healers in the team.

As of version 7.X, he's most effective in Lunar Charge and Overcharge groups. Due to his frequent attacks, he can be integrated into Star Conduit, but only as a driver due to the lack of direct Star damage in his abilities.

Conclusions and advice

If you're unsure who to pick up in the "Tabletop Troupe: Adventure's Eve" event, we recommend looking at the current meta and the characters' roles within it. In 2026, the best choice would be Varesa or Clorinde:

  • The Natlan Warrior excels against monsters that require heavy attacks or falling attacks, and can also fit into Moon and Star Reaction teams thanks to her element.
  • The Judicial Duelist is slightly inferior in damage, but she can get a free C1 from the permanent const event. She fits into the same lineups as Varesa, but due to her one-handed sword, she's not as good against bosses like Experimental field generator.

Separately, it is worth highlighting NilouIf you already have a dancer on your account and managed to get her to C1 in the constellation event, then getting her to C2 would be the best investment in all Lunar Budding commands.

The remaining companions are very situational and can hardly compete with the current meta's heroes. Picking them up is only worth it if you like them lore-wise or want to add them to your collection.

I have a Varesa without a Signa, and I can't decide which one to take. Which one is more profitable? I'm thinking maybe I should take Tiori since there's no "normal" Geo (there are Itto and Shilonen), or would it be better to take the first Konsta on Varesa? Help!

I can't really decide between Nilu or Bai Zhu. I have a squad with Nefer, Lama, Columba, and Nahida. I was thinking about maybe including Nilu, but they're saying there's no point unless it's C2. I'm also curious, maybe the characters from the event will play with someone from the Snow, like the Queen, who knows? Although I don't think Varesa is a good option for the Queen.

Hey everyone! Help me choose! I'm not considering the waifu factor; I don't particularly like any of the characters listed. I want maximum benefit. I'm considering Bai Zhu, Varesa, and Clara.

The account contains:
C0 Varesa (I almost never play it, I rarely touch it in the theater, but I don’t know if it might come in handy; there’s no signal)
C0 Clorinda (I take her more often than Korovka, but also rarely. I could potentially make her C2; there is no signal)
Bai Zhu is not on the account, but there are almost all the meta dendro/hydro/electro characters that he could theoretically match up with (Nefer, Klumba, Nevilet, etc.).

We need one good Electro DD per account, but Bai Zhu also looks good. I don't really understand what this C1 will give Varesa, and I can't really remember the impact of Clorinda's C1-C2 either.

I picked up Bai Ju. I needed a healer/shield for my team against Moonflowers. The berry was awkward and didn't work. Now the investment in Lauma and Nefer will finally pay off. I don't need Clorinda/Varesa with Sandrone and supports for her on my account.
Plus I have fleece with signa and c1.

Take the one you like best. The most important thing in the game is to have fun.

In terms of usefulness and power at the moment, Clorinda is obvious
