Is Genshin 7.1 Vesna Banner Worth Pulling in Malaysia? Price Verdict
Published: 2026-09-20
Version 7.1 lands 23 September — here is the ringgit answer
Genshin Impact Version 7.1, A Rekviem for the Underworld, goes live 23 September 2026 (2 AM MYT) and runs 42 days. Phase 1 debuts Vesna (5-star Anemo sword) and Vodyanitsa (5-star Hydro catalyst) on side-by-side banners from 23 September to 13 October. If you want the honest Malaysian verdict up front: the RM 355 pack (6,480 + 1,600 Genesis Crystals) is the best per-crystal value on the ladder at 4.39 sen each; the RM 180 pack (3,280 + 600) is the correct pick for anyone stopping at hard pity. Buy them at REDX Game’s Genshin top-up page and delivery lands in your Traveler mail in about 2 minutes. Skip the RM 3.60 tier unless you are topping up spare change; it is the worst value on the entire menu.

Vesna and Vodyanitsa: what you are actually pulling for
Vesna is not the usual Anemo swirl support. She is a direct-damage main DPS whose kit revolves around a mechanic HoYoverse is calling Stellar Swirl. According to the official 7.1 preview, “Vesna’s Windborne Sword advances one stage per cast, capped at Level 3”, and summons Spirit Blades that deal direct Stellar Swirl damage. Her stat priority is ATK, CRIT and Stellar Swirl DMG bonus — not the Elemental Mastery stack that carried Sucrose and Kazuha teams. That single change is why her signature weapon Beyond the Chrysalis reads as a CRIT DMG stick with a passive that cycles between Skill and Burst buffs.
Vodyanitsa is her natural partner. Prima Donna of the Korolevskiy Troupe, she is an HP-scaling Hydro catalyst who heals, buffs Stellar Swirl damage, and shreds Hydro plus Cryo resistance on the field. Her weapon Hymn of the Maelstrom stacks a large HP secondary stat to feed her healing scaling. Solo pullers face a hard call: Vesna carries damage but needs Vodyanitsa or a Furina to hit her ceiling. Berapa banyak nak pull? That decides the ringgit.
The pull math in ringgit
Genshin’s character banner has soft pity around wish 74 and hard pity at wish 90. Losing the 50/50 pushes worst case to wish 180 for a guaranteed rate-up. One wish costs 160 Primogems, which is 160 Genesis Crystals at the 1-to-1 exchange. Here is what each ceiling costs at REDX Game’s Malaysian pricing, assuming you start from zero:
- 90 pulls (hard pity, 14,400 Primogems): two RM 355 packs give you 16,160 Crystals for RM 710 total. Enough for 101 wishes and a small buffer.
- 180 pulls (guaranteed rate-up, 28,800 Primogems): four RM 355 packs give you 32,320 Crystals for RM 1,420 total. This is the pledged 5-star, not the coin-flip.
- Stardust route: none. Genshin caps character wish conversion at 5 stardust per month, worthless for a specific banner.
Per-Crystal cost on the live REDX ladder, sorted best to worst: RM 355 pack = 4.39 sen; RM 180 pack = 4.64 sen; RM 56 pack = 5.14 sen; RM 117 pack = 5.22 sen; RM 17.50 pack = 5.30 sen; RM 3.60 pack = 6.00 sen. Gap between the top tier and the bottom is 27%, and on a full 90-pull budget that is roughly RM 190 of pure wastage if you buy the wrong denomination. One outlier sits outside the ladder entirely: the Blessing of the Welkin Moon at RM 17.50 sits in a class of its own: 300 Genesis Crystals upfront plus 90 Primogems daily for 30 days works out to about 0.58 sen per Primogem-equivalent, roughly 8x cheaper than the RM 355 pack per Primogem, if you can wait a full month for the drip.
Malaysian ringgit gap versus the App Store on the same 980-Crystal tier: RM 56 at REDX Game vs about RM 74.90 on the Apple Malaysia store, saving RM 18.90 per identical pack. Buy five of them for a full pity budget and that is nearly RM 95 kept in your pocket. Murah gila, honestly.
Version 7.1 event calendar
Phase 1 (23 September – 13 October) carries the Vesna and Vodyanitsa debut plus the reruns of Skirk and Escoffier being teased into Phase 2. The weapon banner mirrors this order: Beyond the Chrysalis and Hymn of the Maelstrom feature first, followed by their Phase 2 counterparts. Version-exclusive events include the flagship Snezhnaya story chapter continuation and two side events that award Primogems in the 800 to 1,200 range each — enough for roughly 12 extra wishes if you clear both.
- 23 Sept, 02:00 MYT: Version 7.1 maintenance ends, Phase 1 banners open, 600 Primogems arrive in your mail for the update compensation.
- 26 Sept: Main event opens, roughly two weeks of daily quest chains.
- 13 Oct: Phase 1 banners close at 15:59 MYT. Any pity you built on Vesna or Vodyanitsa carries to Phase 2’s new banners under the standard character-event pity rules.
- 3 Nov: Version 7.1 ends, Version 7.2 preview livestream drops.
Is Vesna worth pulling over the Skirk rerun?
Depends on what your account is missing. Skirk stays a hyperdrive Cryo enabler; Vesna is the cleaner solo main DPS. If you already own Neuvillette or Arlecchino, Vesna adds a genuinely different playstyle. Players who skipped Skirk her first time should treat the Phase 2 rerun as the safer collect.
Can I pull Vodyanitsa without pulling Vesna?
Yes. Their double banner runs simultaneously but with independent pity counters. Split your Fates as you like.
How long does REDX Game take to deliver Genesis Crystals?
Advertised as 1 to 3 minutes into your in-game mail. Payment via DuitNow QR or Boost usually settles fastest in Malaysia; FPX can add a minute if your bank is slow.
Do I lose my current pity when 7.1 starts?
No. Character-event pity carries between different character-event banners. Your Flins or Ineffa pity from Phase 2 of Version 7.0 moves straight to Vesna. Weapon banner pity is separate and also carries.
Berapa harga untuk 90 wishes di Malaysia?
Sekitar RM 710 di REDX Game menggunakan dua pek RM 355. Bandingkan dengan Apple Malaysia store yang cecah lebih daripada RM 900 untuk kuantiti Crystal yang sama.
Where players in KL get caught
Three failure modes I see every version. First, the 50/50: standard 5-stars Diluc, Mona, Keqing, Tighnari and Dehya can steal your rate-up. If it happens, your next character banner 5-star is guaranteed to be the rate-up, so do not panic-quit. Second, the weapon banner Epitomized Path: choose Beyond the Chrysalis or Hymn of the Maelstrom before you wish, or you can win a 5-star and still get the wrong weapon. Third, chasing constellations. C1 Vesna reportedly gives an extra Sword Essence and a 40% Stellar Swirl DMG bonus per pundit builds on the standard kit template, but at 180 pulls per constellation, C2 alone is a RM 2,800 ceiling. Petaling Jaya group chats have talked more players out of C6 whales than any of my price tables ever will.
Malaysian buying paths that work
REDX Game accepts DuitNow QR, Touch ‘n Go eWallet, Boost, ShopeePay QR and FPX from every major Malaysian bank — Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong, RHB. TnG typically clears in under 30 seconds; DuitNow QR is the workhorse. The full Genesis Crystal menu with live promo pricing sits at the Genshin Impact top-up page. Buyers from Shah Alam or Johor Bahru at odd hours can skip the wait for a physical top-up card, and the reseller flow avoids the App Store premium hidden in the ringgit total. The KL Genshin scene overlaps heavily with Selangor Red Giants and Team SMG fandoms — same age bracket, same LRT stops, same Discord vibes. Boleh tahan for a 2-minute delivery window from REDX Game.
One last thing worth saying plainly: pulling on a banner is entertainment spending, not investing. Set your ceiling before you touch the RM 355 button. Genshin will still be here in Version 7.2, and Vesna almost surely reruns within 12 months.
