Summary

  • Lady Furina contributes over 69.4% of total banner revenue in Genshin Impact.
  • Furina is considered one of the best Hydro supports due to her damage buff ability.
  • Cryo characters, like Wriothesley, are less popular in Spiral Abyss but may see a resurgence.

An interesting Genshin Impact chart has revealed the revenue difference between the two currently featured five-star characters, Lady Furina and Wriothesley. Updates in Genshin Impact are always divided into two separate banner cycles, each lasting approximately three weeks.

Over the last couple of years, the game's Limited Character Banners have featured two five-star characters on separate banners, sharing a four-star lineup of three characters. At least one re-run character is almost always included in each banner cycle, with a few exceptions. The first part of Genshin Impact 5.3, which allowed players to pull for two new five-star characters, Mavuika and Citlali, simultaneously.

Genshin Impact Leaks Exciting Details About New Combat Event for 5.5

A new Genshin Impact leak reveals additional details about a limited-time combat event set to arrive in the upcoming Version 5.5 update.

The ongoing second phase of Genshin Impact Version 5.4 features two re-run banners for Fontaine characters Wriothesley and Lady Furina. A new Genshin Impact chart, revealed by the popular stats website Paimon.moe, showcases the revenue difference between the two banners. According to recent data, Lady Furina has contributed over 69.4% of the total banner revenue, which is not a huge surprise given that she is an Archon. Furina's Archon Quest is also widely considered one of the best-written storylines in the game, which likely contributed to her immense popularity.

Genshin Impact: Should You Pull for Furina or Wriothesley?

Furina is a unique support character in Genshin Impact who can swap between Fontaine's Pneuma and Ousia forms simply by triggering her Charged Attack. At the moment, she is widely considered one of, if not, the best Hydro supports in the game due to her ability to provide a powerful damage buff to the entire team. Her ability to change forms also makes her a valuable asset when exploring the world of Teyvat.

Some fans might be surprised by the sales difference, considering that this has been Wriothesley's first re-run since his release in Genshin Impact Version 4.1. Wriothesley is an Ousia-aligned Cryo character best used as a main DPS. Despite being a catalyst user, a weapon type typically associated with ranged attacks, Wriothesley prefers close combat, fighting with his fists. In order to get his damage potential to the next level, players should try to get Wriothesley's signature catalyst, Cashflow Supervision, which is available on the current Limited Weapon Banner.

One reason behind his lower pull rate might be the current state of Cryo characters in Genshin Impact. Over the past few years, Cryo users have been picked less frequently, as seen in the game's Spiral Abyss usage charts. Many fans hope that this element will make a comeback in the meta once the long-awaited Snezhnaya region arrives, as Cryo is its symbolic element.
