A Genshin Impact fan has posted an interesting image showing the distribution of five-star drops between Nahida and Yoimiya. Both these characters are currently available as part of the first banner cycle for the ongoing update 3.2 which is scheduled to end around November 18 when Yae Miko and Childe are expected to arrive.
Double re-runs have become very common in the world of Genshin Impact and they allow players to pull for two different five-star characters within the same banner cycle. Both the 90-wish and the 10-wish pity system, as well as the four-star lineup, are shared between these two banners.
The double banner is doing very well in terms of revenue, and it's slowly becoming the most popular banner in the game, breaking multiple Genshin Impact revenue records along the way. Even though it features two five-star characters, an image posted by Reddit user SquibblesMcGoo shows that the new Dendro Archon Nahida has been carrying the banner's sales. Out of 125,025 drops, Nahida has been responsible for 118,638 of them which represents around 95% of the total sales. Some fans claim that even though they knew that the Dendro Archon would do much better than Yoimiya, they still did not expect such a huge difference.
Nahida, also known as Lesser Lord Kusanali and God of Wisdom, has been one of the most anticipated characters in the game so far for multiple reasons. The ongoing Archon Quest and overall Sumeru arc revolve around this unique Dendro user who shows great character development throughout the story. She is the first five-star Dendro support which made her a crucial part of almost every team composition that relies on the new element.
Nahida also arrived one update later than expected, at least according to HoYoverse's usual pattern of releasing new Archons one update after a major region arrives. This allowed players to gather even more precious Primogems so they can pull for the God of Wisdom. Some comments claim that this is the third time HoYoverse put Yoimiya in a tough spot by pairing her with one of the most popular characters in Genshin Impact.
During her first arrival, she was put in the same update as the extremely popular Cryo DPS character Kamisato Ayaka whose re-run still holds the record for being the most pulled character within a banner cycle, but it should be noted that these numbers were inflated due to the banner's extended duration. Yoimiya's second appearance was during 2.8 which was the last update before Sumeru arrived which caused many players to skip her banner and save up for future Dendro characters.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
