Version 7.1 Phase II wishes: Skirk and Escoffier return on October 13

On October 8, 2026, HoYoverse published the official event wish notice for Version 7.1 Phase II. As announced in the special program, the second half of the version brings back Skirk and Escoffier, both Cryo.

When?

October 13, 2026 18:00 to November 3, 2026 14:59 (times from the official notice, server time). All three wishes open and close together, so the Phase I wishes (Vesna and Vodyanitsa) stay available until October 13.

"Void Star's Advent": "Void Star" Skirk (Cryo)

• Event-exclusive 5-star with a huge drop-rate boost: "Void Star" Skirk (Cryo).
• Boosted 4-stars: "Ode and Oblation" Dahlia (Hydro), "Golden Vow" Candace (Hydro) and "Coordinates of Clear Frost" Mika (Cryo).
• This is the "Character Event Wish".

"La Chanson Cerise": "Tasteful Excellence" Escoffier (Cryo)

• Event-exclusive 5-star with a huge drop-rate boost: "Tasteful Excellence" Escoffier (Cryo).
• Same boosted 4-stars: Dahlia, Candace and Mika.
• This is the "Character Event Wish-2".

"Epitome Invocation": Azurelight and Symphonist of Scents

• Event-exclusive 5-star weapons with a huge drop-rate boost: Azurelight (Sword, Skirk's signature) and Symphonist of Scents (Polearm, Escoffier's).
• Boosted 4-star weapons: Sturdy Bone (Sword, event-exclusive), Sacrificial Greatsword, Favonius Lance, The Widsith and Sacrificial Bow.
• Use Epitomized Path to target one of the two 5-star weapons.

Good to know

• Pity is shared between the two character wishes: your pulls count toward Skirk and Escoffier alike, and your Phase I count carries over. It stays separate from the weapon and standard wishes.
• Skirk and Escoffier will not be added to the standard wish "Wanderlust Invocation".
• The "Test Run" trial event runs alongside these wishes: try the characters in fixed lineups and claim its rewards.
