Genshin Impact runs on a gacha system that constantly rotates a set of characters that can be obtainable for a limited period of time. At the moment, there are two types of character banners in the game: the Limited Banner and the Standard Banner.
Limited Banners last for approximately three weeks while the Standard Banner is a permanent feature in the game. The official live stream event for Genshin Impact Version 3.0 has confirmed previous leaks about Tighnari being a Standard Banner character.
This means that after update 3.0 ends, he will become the sixth character to join the Standard Banner. Each banner in the game has a 90-wish pity which guarantees one five-star item for within 90 wishes. However, that 90-wish pity on a Limited Character Banner has a 50% chance to drop one of the Standard Banner's five-stars which, according to a big part of the community, is one of the most frustrating mechanics in the game. According to multiple replies in the comment section, players will avoid spending Primogems on Tighnari's Limited Banner since they have a big chance of acquiring him whenever they lose a 50/50 on a future Limited Banner.
Tighnari will serve as the Dendro representative on the Standard Banner which has left many players wondering why there are no Geo characters on this banner. Players are hoping that some older five-star Geo characters like Zhongli or Albedo could become a part of the Standard Banner squad. However, it's highly unlikely that a Genshin Impact Archon transfers to the less popular banner which means that Albedo is the prime candidate for this change.
Tighnari will be the game's first five-star Dendro character, and he will apparently be a great DPS choice. According to recent beta leaks, his damage potential lies in a unique Charged Attack mechanic, similar to Ganyu. Tighnari will be joined by the Geo Archon Zhongli as part of the update's first double banner. Since his release back in 2020 Zhongli has proven to be one of the strongest characters in Genshin Impact.
Tighnari won't be the only Dendro character in the game as the recent live stream confirmed the addition of a new four-star unit by the name Collei. Players will have the option to acquire Collei for free in the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 3.0 events. Aether and Lumine will also receive their Dendro transformation which will grant them a new set of skills.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
