Odette Build Guide: Best Artifacts, Weapons, Teams and Materials

Odette is a 5-star Cryo Sword support from Snezhnaya, built around Stellar Glimmer reactions rather than raw Cryo damage. That changes her artifacts, her goblet and how you play her. This guide covers the build that actually works, her best teams and rotation, and every ascension and talent material you need to max her.

Quick answer

Odette is an off-field Cryo enabler for Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl teams. Run 4pc Heart of the Furnace with an ATK% Sands, ATK% Goblet (not Cryo DMG) and a CRIT Circlet, level her Skill first, and always recast her Skill within about six seconds. Maxing her takes 168 Frostfairy Flowers, 46 Unscorched Blossom Branches, 114 Philosophies of Charity and roughly 7 million Mora.

01What Odette Actually Does

Rarity / Element

5★ Cryo

Weapon

Sword

Role

Off-field Stellar enabler

Released

Version 7.0

Odette's kit revolves around Adagio: Phantom Night Dancers. Her Skill summons a Solo Dance Double that attacks nearby enemies for around 20 seconds. For about six seconds after the first cast, the Skill turns into Adagio: Coda at Dawn's Tolling, and pressing it again adds Stellar-Conduct or Stellar-Swirl damage depending on your team.

That double-cast window is the whole character. Miss it and she is a mediocre Cryo applicator; hit it every rotation and she becomes the enabler Stellar teams are built around.

The key thing to understand: most of her value is Stellar Glimmer reaction damage, not raw Cryo damage. Reaction damage scales with ATK, CRIT and Elemental Mastery, not with elemental DMG bonus, and her A4 passive turns her ATK into a team-wide Stellar Glimmer buff. That single fact drives almost every build decision below.

02Odette Materials: Ascension and Talents

Totals below are for Level 90 with all three talents at Level 10. In practice you can skip her Normal Attack (see Talent Priority), which cuts the talent books, enemy drops and Mora needed by about a third.

The Mora is what stalls most builds. Seven million is more than most accounts have on hand, and it is the usual reason a freshly pulled 5-star sits at talent level 1 for weeks. Shivada Jade can also be converted from Dust of Azoth if you are short on a tier.

Free Genshin redeem codes regularly hand out Mora and Hero's Wit, and if you are topping up for her banner anyway, our guide to what's worth buying shows which purchases stretch furthest.

03Odette Best Artifacts

Artifact sets

Set When to use it
4pc Heart of the FurnaceBest in most teams. Raises her ATK and boosts Stellar Glimmer reaction damage for the whole party, and works while she is off-field.
4pc Disenchantment in Deep ShadowsMore personal damage in Stellar-Conduct teams. The pick when a teammate already holds Heart of the Furnace.
4pc Tenacity of the MillelithTeam-buff option when another unit already runs Heart of the Furnace.
2pc + 2pc ATK% setsPlaceholder while you farm a 4-piece.

The party-wide part of Heart of the Furnace does not stack across multiple wearers, so only one character per team should run it.

Main stats and substats

Piece Main stat Why
SandsATK%Powers her summon and her A4 team buff
GobletATK%Not Cryo DMG: reaction damage ignores elemental DMG bonus
CircletCRIT Rate / CRIT DMGBoosts her off-field damage

Substat priority: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG ≥ ATK% > Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge (only up to your team's requirement). ATK% stays ahead of EM because her A4 passive converts ATK into the team buff.

04Odette Best Weapons

Weapon Notes
Whitelake Frostfeather (5★)Her signature. Buffs Stellar Glimmer damage and refunds Energy, which lowers her Energy Recharge needs.
5★ CRIT swordsAzurelight, Mistsplitter Reforged, Primordial Jade Cutter and similar all work well as stat sticks.
Finale of the Deep (4★)Best 4-star once you have cleared the Bounty of Lawachurl; strong ATK from both the passive and the secondary stat.
Emberwell (4★)EM, ATK and a Stellar Glimmer buff. Beats Finale only if you haven't cleared the Bounty of Lawachurl yet.

Her signature weapon is not required. Much of her contribution is the party-wide buff rather than her own numbers, so a well-built Finale of the Deep closes most of the gap. If you are choosing where to spend Primogems, her first Constellation is usually worth more than the weapon (see section 9).

05Talent Priority and Energy Recharge

1st priority

Elemental Skill

2nd priority

Elemental Burst

Skip

Normal Attack

Her summon and the Stellar recast both live on the Skill, so it gets your books first. Raising her to Level 90 is worth about as much as her Burst. Her Normal Attack can stay at level 1: she spends almost no time on field, so Crowns and books there are wasted.

Energy Recharge: many teams skip her Burst entirely. If you use it, plan to Burst every other rotation instead of building enough ER for every rotation. Requirements vary a lot by team, but with her signature weapon you can usually get by with roughly 100–145%.

06Odette Best Teams

Odette Stellar-Conduct team composition in Genshin Impact

Team Line-up
Stellar-Conduct coreOdette + Sandrone + Yae Miko + Escoffier or Qiqi
Cyno Stellar-ConductOdette + Cyno + Yae Miko + Qiqi or Alyosha
Wriothesley Stellar-ConductOdette + Wriothesley + Yae Miko + C6 Beidou, Nicole or Xilonen
Budget Stellar-ConductOdette + Yae Miko + Cryo Traveler + Qiqi, Escoffier or Sucrose
Stellar-SwirlOdette + Yumemizuki Mizuki + Cryo Traveler + C6 Faruzan or Sucrose

In the core team, Sandrone takes the field time and the Stellar-Conduct damage, Yae supplies off-field Electro, Odette enables and buffs the reactions, and Escoffier or Qiqi covers healing. Cyno, Wriothesley and Mizuki cannot trigger their Stellar reaction without Odette, which is a large part of why she matters.

Alternative Odette team compositions with Stellar-focused carries

No Sandrone? The free Cryo Traveler is a real option in both the budget Stellar-Conduct line and the Stellar-Swirl team, so Odette is usable on accounts with a thin Snezhnaya roster.

07Odette Rotation

1

Set up your off-field Electro or Anemo unit first (for example, Yae Miko's three totems).

2

Odette Skill, then recast within about six seconds. The second press is where the Stellar damage comes from.

3

Burst only if it doesn't slow the team down; in many teams you can skip it.

4

Swap to your carry and give them the rest of the window. Her summon lasts around 20 seconds, so open with her rather than closing with her.

08Common Odette Mistakes

1. Running a Cryo DMG goblet

The most common error. Stellar Glimmer damage doesn't scale with elemental DMG bonus, so use ATK%.

2. Playing her on-field

She holds a sword, but her value is off-field application and a party-wide buff.

3. Missing the Skill recast

One press and swap skips the Stellar damage entirely. Always double-press.

4. Levelling her Normal Attack

Those books and Crowns belong on her Skill.

5. Two Heart of the Furnace users

The party buff doesn't stack. Move Odette to Disenchantment in Deep Shadows.

6. Stacking ER for every Burst

Burst every other rotation, or skip it, and put the stats into CRIT and ATK instead.

09Is Odette Worth Pulling?

Pull if

You own or plan to pull Sandrone, Cyno, Wriothesley or Mizuki for Stellar teams. She is the only dedicated support for these reactions, so she is closer to required than merely good.

Skip if

You have no Stellar carry and no plans for one. Outside these teams she is a Cryo applicator with a buff you never trigger.

Constellations: C1 adds an extra Stellar damage hit and is usually a better spend than her signature weapon. C2 is her best early Constellation, adding ATK per Marvelous Splendor stack and Elemental RES shred. C6 is her biggest single power spike.

Pulling for Odette or her rerun?

Top up Genesis Crystals and the Welkin Moon for less than the in-game price, with the first-purchase double bonus kept.

Frequently asked questions

Is Odette a DPS or a support in Genshin Impact?

A support and off-field sub-DPS. She wields a sword and has a Burst, which makes her look like a carry, but her value is enabling Stellar Glimmer reactions and a party-wide reaction damage buff. Building her as an on-field DPS wastes most of her kit.

What materials does Odette need?

For Level 90 and 10/10/10 talents: 1/9/9/6 Shivada Jade, 46 Unscorched Blossom Branch, 168 Frostfairy Flower, 36/96/129 Ethereal enemy drops, 9/63/114 Charity talent books, 18 Twisted Withered Branch, 3 Crowns of Insight and about 7 million Mora including levelling.

What is the best artifact set for Odette?

4pc Heart of the Furnace in most teams. It raises her ATK and boosts Stellar Glimmer reaction damage for the whole party while she is off-field. If a teammate already runs it, switch Odette to Disenchantment in Deep Shadows, since the party buff doesn’t stack.

Should Odette use a Cryo DMG goblet?

No. Run ATK%. Her damage comes from Stellar Glimmer reactions, and reaction damage doesn’t scale with elemental DMG bonus. This is the most common Odette build mistake.

Do I need Odette’s signature weapon?

No. Whitelake Frostfeather is her best weapon, but Finale of the Deep is a strong 4-star once you have cleared the Bounty of Lawachurl. Her C1 is usually a better use of Primogems than the weapon.

What is the best team for Odette?

Odette, Sandrone, Yae Miko and Escoffier or Qiqi is the standard Stellar-Conduct team. She also runs with Cyno or Wriothesley alongside Yae Miko, and with Yumemizuki Mizuki and the Cryo Traveler in Stellar-Swirl. The Cryo Traveler also makes a budget Stellar-Conduct team possible.

What talents should I level for Odette?

Elemental Skill first, then Elemental Burst. Skip her Normal Attack entirely: she spends almost no time on field, so talent books and Crowns spent there are wasted. Many teams skip her Burst too.

Is Odette worth pulling in Genshin Impact?

Yes if you run or plan to run Stellar-Conduct or Stellar-Swirl teams, since she is the only dedicated support for them. If you have no Stellar carry, she does little outside that niche and is worth skipping for now.
