A new Genshin Impact chart reveals the first-day revenue numbers for the ongoing double banner that includes Nahida and Yoimiya. Each update in the game is divided into two separate banner cycles that include a different set of limited characters and weapons.
Since the new Sumeru region arrived back in Genshin Impact 3.0, players have been speculating about when the famous Dendro Archon Nahida could join the playable roster. As a new Archon, she plays a huge part in the current storyline which could reach its climax in the new update.
Reddit user NetGixs has shared an interesting chart showing that Nahida and Yoimiya are placed at the top of the all-time banner revenue list when it comes to first-day sales. Even though players expected high numbers, the majority of the fan base still seems surprised by the banner's overall success considering that the two previous updates have been packed with new characters and version 3.3 will introduce the famous Wanderer. According to the chart, the banner made $5,111,701 on its first day, but it should be noted that the displayed data includes only iOS devices on the Chinese server. While Yoimiya is responsible for some sales, it's safe to assume that Nahida's popularity carried this banner to the top.
She is the game's first five-star Dendro support which makes her a must-have for team compositions that need Dendro application on the field. In the two previous updates, players had to rely on the Dendro Traveler and Collei for most of the Dendro elemental reactions since there were not any stronger alternatives. Nahida is one of the best units in the game with the potential to fit almost any Genshin Impact team composition.
The new Dendro Archon is also great for farming various items in the open world since she has the ability to collect items from a distance thanks to her elemental skill. While Nahida seems to be the main star of Genshin Impact update 3.2, the second character on the banner, Yoimiya, is also a very good choice for players who need a decent Pyro DPS with a strong focus on single-target damage.
A number of comments have pointed out that Nahida's release has overshadowed the Hydro user Nilou who appeared on the previous banner. Even though she is also a very popular Sumeru character, Nilou's banner revenue numbers are actually quite low. This is probably because a lot of players skipped her banner in order to save up enough Primogems for the Dendro Archon.
Genshin Impact is now available on mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
