Anastasya - The Tsaritsa
Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya - the Cryo Archon herself - finally goes playable in Version 7.3. Drip marketing dropped November 6; here's her kit, release window and what to farm.
Anastasya is the Tsaritsa made playable: a 5-star Cryo Bow user whose kit seals her allies off-field while they still deal follow-up attacks through her buttons. She enables and amplifies Stellar Conduct and Stellar Swirl team reactions. Expected December 16, 2026 with Version 7.3 (official visuals posted Nov 6; date not yet confirmed).
Kit at a glance
Ally sealing
Her signature mechanic seals teammates off-field - they can't swap in, but she can trigger their follow-up attacks from her own buttons.
Stellar reactions
Enables Stellar Conduct and Stellar Swirl for the whole team and greatly amplifies their damage - the Snezhnaya arc's reaction core.
On or off field
Works as an off-field support for Stellar Glimmer teams, or a Cryo/Stellar main DPS when she takes the field herself.
Skill - Judgment of the Pole Star
AoE Cryo with tap/hold variants: Benevolence casts the Azure Star Crown; Glory displays the Royal Court's spear techniques.
Kit details are from beta leaks - numbers can shift before release.
