A new Genshin Impact chart shows the first-day revenue numbers for the double banner that features the new character Wander and the Geo user Arataki Itto. Most updates in the game are divided into two parts that feature a different set of characters and weapons available for three to four weeks.
Both characters are part of the first banner cycle for Genshin Impact update 3.3, which also includes a new four-star character named Faruzan. The new Anemo catalyst user, previously known as Scaramouche, is one of the most anticipated characters in the community due to his importance to the overall storyline.
Scaramouche's first appearance in the game was during the Unreconciled Stars event in update 1.1, which arrived back in November 2020. Since then, players have been patiently waiting for the opportunity to add the Balladeer to their playable roster. After a heavy defeat during the Archon Quest in version 3.2, the Wanderer switched to the good side of the storyline and received an Anemo Vision. Reddit user TimocaSamJa has shared a chart that shows the first-day banner sales for the current double banner. According to the chart, the Wanderer and Itto managed to enter the top 10 on the list by taking the eighth spot. It should be noted that the sales numbers only represent iOS devices from the Chinese server.
Some fans expected the double banner to be ranked much higher on the list, considering that the Wanderer has a huge fan base. One of the reasons his banner didn't make the top five on the list could be that most players have spent tons of Primogems on the previous banners, which featured strong characters like Cyno, Nilou, and the Dendro Archon Nahida who already broke the overall banner revenue record.
Another reason for the sales being lower than expected could be that, despite being one of the most popular Genshin Impact characters, the new Anemo user is not considered overpowered like the Dendro Archon. He is a decent main DPS unit who can fit a lot of different team compositions in Genshin Impact.
The other character on the banner, Arataki Itto, is also a decent DPS choice for players who need a strong Geo character. Players who acquire Itto should also try to get the Geo support Gorou who is part of the four-star lineup. Gorou's whole kit revolves around having Geo users in his team and Itto is the only five-star DPS in the game that has the ability to control this element.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
