Each update in Genshin Impact features a couple of different banners that allow players to acquire a unique set of limited characters and weapons. Banner re-runs have become very frequent in the world of Genshin Impact, and they give players a new chance to acquire their favorite characters in the game.
Over the last couple of updates, the game has introduced an interesting pattern of placing a single banner with a double banner in the same update. A new post on the popular Genshin Impact subreddit features a chart showing the banner revenue for the previous Klee and Kazuha re-run which arrived on June 9 and lasted for 22 days before ending on June 30.
Even though it featured two re-runs, the banner managed to reach the seventh spot when it comes to revenue. While Klee is one of the fan-favorite characters, multiple replies in the comment section claim that they've pulled on the banner in order to acquire the popular Anemo support Kazuha. Developer HoYoverse waited over a year before giving Kazuha his first banner re-run. At the time of his first appearance, numerous Inazuma leaks have led most players to skip his banner in order to save up some precious Primogems for the characters from the new major region.
Since then, Kazuha has become one of the best supports in Genshin Impact. His ability to group up enemies and shred their resistances can hardly be matched by any other character on the roster. Developer HoYoverse has cleverly avoided their mistake from last year of putting a new five-star character right before a new major update arrives.
Sumeru's arrival is just around the corner and so is the long-awaited Dendro element. The game has already confirmed a couple of new characters that should arrive in the first Sumeru updates. However, players will still have to wait for a couple of weeks in order to get their hands on the new set of characters as the second part of the ongoing update 2.8 is just about to begin.
The second banner for 2.8 will include another re-run featuring the famous Pyro bow user Yoimiya. She is one of the best DPS characters in Genshin Impact, especially for players who lack a strong Pyro user in their roster. The game's official social media accounts have already confirmed that Yoimiya will be joined by Yunjin, Bennett, and Xinyan on the Tapestry of Golden Flames banner. The new weapon banner will feature two strong five-star items: Thundering Pulse and Summit Sharper.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Nintendo Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
