1	2	3	4
5⭐	Arlecchino (Pyro, spear)	Tartaglia (Hydro, bow)	Sandrone (Cryo, two-handed)

Sandrone

Sandrone (Cryo, two-handed) — the main damage dealer, who summons a doll with her skill and can fly. Depending on whether Star Reaction is active on the field, some of her abilities' effects can be enhanced. According to Little Puppet, her ideal team would include Danika, Odette, and Tsarina.

Arlecchino

Arlecchino (Pyro, spear) — the main damage dealer, playing from mechanics Bond of LifeHer skill marks and accumulates a status effect that freezes her health and prevents her from healing. Because of this, she prefers shielders and isn't placed in a team with healers. In some cases, her teams consist entirely of buffers and sub-damage dealers.

A fairly independent hero with self-healing abilities on her ultimate and high damage output against both single targets and area-of-effect damage. It's unclear how much use the Servant will have in Snezhnaya, but it's likely she'll still be able to tackle combat content, relying on a strong combination of Pyro with elements of Hydro or Cryo.

Arlecchino grew up in Fontaine, but due to her Fatui affiliation, as a playable character she is closer to the country of Cryo.

Tartaglia

Tartaglia (Hydro, Rifle) — a damage dealer with two stances (long-range and close-range). In the first stance, he wields a bow and unleashes an area-of-effect ultimate that marks enemies. In his blade form, he infuses his weapon, and his ultimate ability slices through enemies in front of him.

Childe has long since lost its relevance in combat content due to the long cooldown of the form-shifting skill and low damage output. The rumor about the Eleventh Harbinger's SP turned out to be false.

Future heroes

New characters of Snezhnaya were shown in trailer for "Sudden Snowstorm"The main mechanics of the region will be Star reactions, as it was with Lunar variations or NightsoulNot all natives of the Cryolands can obtain this trait, and some of them are assigned to other countries:

• If there's no "Doctor" Dottore becomes playable, then it can be attributed to the inhabitants of Sumeru (where Zandik comes from).
• Log out Pierrot's "The Buffoon" и Harbinger of the Captain remains in question. If they do get their banners, it will probably happen after Snezhnaya in the arch. Caenri'ah.

Odette

Odette (Cryo) — a ballerina from the Royal Troupe who assists Alyosha and Vodyanitsa. According to insider 呵哒, she's a secondary damage dealer with a few buffs for her allies. Due to her Star Wedge and ice element, she should be able to trigger both a new Superconductor and Dispersion.

Alyosha

Based on the rumors, it is very likely that Alyosha (Electro, polearm) — a hero who will be given away for free at the start of the Ice Kingdom storyline. In this case, he could be a four-star shield support for the updated Superconductor, and later replaced by Danika (as was the case with Aino and Columbine).

Water lily

Vodyanitsa (Hydro, catalyst) — prima donna of the Royal Troupe, collaborating with Odette and Alyosha. She has a usual God's eye Snowy, so she's unlikely to elicit new reactions. 4结束 describes her as a sub-DD and support for Disperse, Freeze, and Shatter (a combination of Hydro with Anemo and Cryo). However, his release date prediction differs from other sources—he predicts her release in 7.2, not 7.1.

Spring

Spring (Anemo, one-handed) — the leader of the Squad with a special version of the God's Eye, which allows her to trigger a new Cryo reaction with Anemo. According to Little Puppet, she will become a main character. Originates from races of elves and belongs to the subspecies of pitchfork.

Mitya

Mitya (catalyst) He may represent the Hvergelmir Institute faction. Recent leaks from Full Stop Chan, DK2, and 4结束 describe him as a 5⭐ Electro damage dealer from patch 7.2, but Little Puppet lists him as a 4⭐ support.

Valery

Valery (Electro, one-handed) Associated with the Fatui Royal Military Academy. Mero found his elemental data, meaning he could be a 4-star support or a 5-star main damage dealer from the new Superconductor (as 木偶家的小鸽子 said). In that case, we should expect him in update 7.2.

Queen

Her Majesty the Queen — Snow Archon, who, thanks to her Cryo element, should synergize with all heroes in her region. This is easiest to do as a support or sub-DD with a buffer option (similar to director Furina or Columbine). It is possible that it will be a pocket reactor or applicator, like Shogun Raiden or Chief Mavuiki, who in most groups occupy the position of the main damage dealer.

Danika

Maid Danika She is actually an assassin and may represent the Black Spruce trading organization (source: 呵哒 ). All insiders list her as a five-star Electro support for Sandrone, releasing in the same version as Tsaritsa. According to 木偶家的小鸽子, her alternate is 4⭐ Alyosha.

Noah

Regarding all the presented characters of the Snow White story Noah's elf The least known. hxg_diluc suggested it was a 5⭐ Conductor Electro Damager, scheduled for update 7.2, but other Insiders attribute this role to Valery. 4结束 describes him as wielding Dendro, in which case we shouldn't expect him until update 7.4.

Notable heroes

The Cryo Region character trailer features two Harbingers who may become playable in the future.

Pantalone

"The Businessman" Pantalone first appeared in the game in the 6.6 updateHe is responsible for all of Snezhnaya's finances (especially the Harbingers), handles economic matters, and enjoys intrigue. He was born an ordinary man who survived so long only thanks to Dottore and his segments.

From his story, it became clear that the Dealer holds a grudge against the deities, Archons, and the owners of the Eyes of God. Considering that ordinary people most often become game characters only by acquiring an element, Pantalone could start with Cryo, Dendro, or the Eye of Corruption.

The latest inside information denies its release in the 7.X cycle.

Pulcinella

Pulcinella's "Chicken" It's unlikely to become playable due to its specific model. If its species can change appearance (like warrior Fleance), then he may come out in a different guise.
