Genshin 7.1 Phase 2 Events: Rewards and Deadlines

What Phase II Actually Adds

HoYoverse's Version 7.1 Events Preview for Phase II, posted October 12, 2026, introduces three events: Predictive Victory Dynamics, Carefree Snowball Fight and Overflowing Favor. The rest of it carries over from earlier in the version, or from Version 7.0: both anniversary selectors, the anniversary login event, Stygian Onslaught, the Imaginarium Theater and a Snezhnaya exploration bonus first announced in August.

The holdovers are where most of the Primogems are. Of the confirmed Primogems still claimable, the three new events supply up to 420, all of them from Predictive Victory Dynamics. Two holdovers, Stygian Onslaught and The Godforsaken Frostlands, supply 850. And while a Predictive Victory Dynamics round closes every day until October 19, each one costing 20 Primogems if you skip it, the first deadline that costs you a whole reward milestone is not November 3. It is October 15.

The two rerun banners are the part you can plan least urgently. Skirk's "Void Star's Advent" and Escoffier's "La Chanson Cerise" run from 18:00 on October 13 to 14:59 on November 3, server time, per HoYoverse's Phase II wish notice. How to build each one is in our Skirk build guide and Escoffier build guide. This post covers the events around them.

The Phase II Calendar in Deadline Order

Times are server time, the same clock your region's 04:00 daily reset runs on, unless a time zone is given. Predictive Victory Dynamics is the exception: HoYoverse publishes its times in UTC-4.

The Stygian Onslaught line is the one to circle. HoYoverse's event notice ends this iteration, which the wiki titles "Luminous Battlefront," at 03:59 on November 3. Treat November 3 as one big deadline day and an 11-hour gap can cost you the 450 Primogems it pays. How its six difficulties and rewards work is in our Stygian Onslaught guide. As of October 14, HoYoverse's news feed carries no Version 7.2 announcement.

Where the Primogems Are

These are the Primogems Phase II pays an account that has claimed none of them yet:

That is up to 1,270 confirmed Primogems if you have made a prediction in every round so far and reach a Prediction Score of 8,000, or up to 1,210 if you start Predictive Victory Dynamics in round 4. At 160 Primogems a pull, that is seven and a half to eight pulls; add the ten Intertwined Fates and it is 17 to 18. The Spiral Abyss, the Imaginarium Theater and Miliastra Wonderland pay on top of that; our guides to each are linked in the calendar above. The total also leaves out the four 400-Primogem anniversary mails tied to the September 28 to October 1 login dates; their rules are under Anniversary Loose Ends below.

Predictive Victory Dynamics: 260 of 420 Are for Showing Up

You don't fight in this one. HoYoverse's notice describes 8 rounds of simulated battles, each open for predictions for 24 hours, and its event flyer says 16 teams are about to battle it out. Each round you get a set number of Victory Emblems and assign them to the side you think will win. When the round ends, you get a Prediction Score based on how many emblems you placed and whether your side won.

The in-game tutorial, as the wiki transcribes it, adds three things worth knowing before you place anything:

• Pressing a unit's portrait shows its ATK, Max HP and combat skills.
• Both sides start losing HP continuously once a battle has run for a set time.
• Each side's Support Rate locks at a set time before the battle. If your side wins, that rate changes your score multiplier.

The reward track, per the wiki's tables:

Showing up is worth 260 Primogems, and picking well is worth 160. Past a score of 8,000 the track pays no Primogems at all. The wiki also lists a Battle Pass mission worth 1,500 BP EXP for taking part in 5 rounds.

The requirements are Adventure Rank 20 and Archon Quest Prologue: Act III, "Song of the Dragon and Freedom." HoYoverse also suggests finishing Chapter VII: Act IV first, but that is a recommendation, not a gate.

The Round Clock

HoYoverse publishes this event's times in UTC-4 rather than server time and warns that its timing is "quite unusual." A round's participation reward is gone once its 24 hours run out. The table below is worked out from HoYoverse's start time, its 24-hour prediction window and a competition period exactly eight days long; the in-game timer is the final word.

Rounds 1 and 2 have closed, and round 3 closes at 21:59 (UTC-4) on October 14. What a late start costs, before any score rewards:

• Join in round 3: 6 rounds, 120 + 40 + 60 = 220 Primogems.
• Join in round 4: 5 rounds, 100 + 40 + 60 = 200. This is the last round that still reaches the five-round milestone, and with the full 160 from the score track it caps a round-4 start at 360.
• Join in round 5: 4 rounds, 80 + 40 = 120. The 60-Primogem milestone is gone.
• Join in round 6: 3 rounds, 60 + 40 = 100. After round 6, only the per-round 20s are left.

Overflowing Favor: 21 Doubled Artifact Claims

HoYoverse's preview sums it up as "Double drops with Artifacts." From 04:00 on October 26 to 03:59 on November 2, clearing a Domain of Blessing and claiming with Original Resin pays double rewards, "up to 3 times a day." The wiki's event page adds two requirements: Adventure Rank 20, and the domain must already be activated.

Seven server days, October 26 through November 1, at three doubles each is 21 doubled claims. At 20 Original Resin a claim, that is 420 Original Resin earning 840 resin's worth of drops.

Three rules from the wiki's page for the recurring event decide how you spend them:

• Condensed Resin can't claim the double. A Condensed Resin claim pays its usual rewards and nothing extra.
• A Stellar Reunion Reunion Blessing goes first. If you are a returning player with that bonus active, it is used up before the Overflowing Favor doubles.
• A doubled claim doubles everything, Companionship EXP and Adventure EXP included.

Here is the number that decides your resin plan. Three doubled claims cost 60 Original Resin, and Original Resin regenerates at 1 every 8 minutes, or 180 a day, per the wiki. The event's daily cap is a third of one day's regeneration. You don't need a Fragile Resin stockpile to use every double; you need 60 Original Resin on hand each day, before you spend the rest on talent books or bosses. Fragile Resin only helps on a day you would otherwise be short. Our resin management guide covers the rest of the resin budget.

One open question: domains also offer a 40-Resin claim for two sets of rewards at once, and neither HoYoverse's preview nor the wiki says how that interacts with a daily double. Three 20-Resin claims a day is the plan that leaves nothing to chance.

Which Domain to Point It At

If you're building one of 7.1's four featured 5-stars, these are the sets our build guides recommend, with the domains the wiki lists for them:

One tiebreaker. The wiki's list of Artifact Strongbox sets includes Finale of the Deep Galleries, Golden Troupe and Ocean-Hued Clam, but not Scarlet Proof or Heart of the Furnace. A Strongbox, unlocked at Adventure Rank 45, turns three 5-star artifacts from any set into one random piece of a set you choose. So off-set drops can be converted into Skirk's, Escoffier's or Vodyanitsa's Clam set. For the two Snezhnaya sets, the wiki lists Inverted Glacier as the only source. If you're short on both kinds, put the doubles on Inverted Glacier and feed your spare 5-stars into Strongboxes for the rest. The general farming maths is in our artifact guide.

Carefree Snowball Fight: What Is Confirmed

Not much yet. HoYoverse's preview gives the dates, 10:00 on October 21 to 03:59 on November 2, and calls it "the fun throwing challenge," with rewards "including Primogems and a Special Furnishing." The reward icons beside it show Primogems, a furnishing and a talent book.

HoYoverse hasn't published a Primogem total. The wiki's pre-release page for the event lists 420, but until the event opens and the in-game reward list can be checked, treat that number as provisional. It's left out of the confirmed total above. It closes at the same moment as Overflowing Favor, 03:59 on November 2.

The Godforsaken Frostlands Bonus Ends With the Version

This one is from Version 7.0 and was announced back in August. HoYoverse's notice opened it with the 7.0 update and closes it at 14:59 on November 3, 2026, alongside the banners. The wiki breaks the 400 down like this:

Exploring freely needs the Archon Quest "Gunfire in the Silent Lands." The quest line is the slow part: the wiki says "Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard" only starts after three earlier World Quest series, "Hesperides of Love and Hate," "In the Dwelling of Life" and "On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb." If you haven't started that chain, start it this week rather than in the last few days. The region's domains, bosses and specialties are mapped in our Snezhnaya farming guide.

Anniversary Loose Ends

Three anniversary items are still open in Phase II:

• Resplendent Starlight login event. HoYoverse's notice runs it from 04:00 on October 1 to 03:59 on October 19, Adventure Rank 5 and above, with 10 Intertwined Fates over 7 total login days. Day 7 alone pays 5 of them. The last server day that counts is October 18, so from October 14 there are five login days left: you need at least two already banked to reach day 7.
• Missive of Grace mails. The four 400-Primogem anniversary mails tied to the September 28 to October 1 login dates "can be collected until the end of" the event, which runs to the end of Version 7.1, per the same notice. Each mail expires 30 days after it arrives, so open your mailbox rather than letting them sit.
• Both anniversary selectors close at 14:59 on November 3. The limited one needs Chapter VII: Act IV finished. Which name to pick is in our anniversary selector guide, and the rest of the version is in our 7.1 release guide.

Quick Action Checklist

• Join Predictive Victory Dynamics by round 4, which closes October 15 at 21:59 (UTC-4), to keep the 60-Primogem five-round milestone. Make a prediction every round: 20 Primogems each.
• Log in by October 18 for the Resplendent Starlight login event; its seventh login day pays 5 of the 10 Intertwined Fates.
• Clear Stygian Onslaught on Hard for 450 Primogems before it closes at 03:59 on November 3, not 14:59.
• Finish "Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard" and reach 80% exploration across the five Snezhnaya 7.0 areas for 400 Primogems by 14:59 on November 3.
• From October 26 to November 1, spend 60 Original Resin a day on three doubled Domain of Blessing claims; Condensed Resin doesn't count.
• Point the doubles at Inverted Glacier if you're building Vesna or Vodyanitsa; the wiki lists no Strongbox route for its two sets.
• Play Carefree Snowball Fight between October 21 and November 2; its Primogem total is still unpublished.
• Claim the anniversary mails within 30 days of arrival, and use both selectors before 14:59 on November 3.
