Genshin Impact has revealed the first-week revenue numbers of the ongoing double banner that features the Anemo support Kaedehara Kazuha and the Dendro sword character, Alhaitham. Both of these characters arrived as part of the second banner cycle of the ongoing update 3.7 which also features a decent four-star lineup that includes Yaoyao, Xiangling, and Heizou.
Genshin Impact's Limited Character Banners usually last for approximately three weeks until a new set of characters takes their place. Players who want to add either of these characters can do so for a couple of more days since their banner is scheduled to expire on July 4.
Popular Genshin Impact revenue site GenshinLab has revealed the first-week sales numbers of the ongoing double banner featuring Kazuha and Alhaitham. According to the chart, Kazuha and Alhaitham currently sit in the 19th place on the first-week revenue list which is a decent achievement, at least compared to the first banner cycle that featured Yoimiya and Yae Miko. However, it should be noted that the data shown in the chart only represents iOS devices from the Chinese server and the overall numbers are probably much higher. While the data does not separate Kazuha's and Alhaitham's sales, it's safe to assume that the five-star Anemo user is responsible for the majority of the banner's revenue.
This is also proven by the fact that Alhaitham's re-run sales surpass the revenue his release attracted back in update 3.4. Kaedehaha Kazuha is by many considered one of the most powerful five-star characters in the game which is one of the reasons why he is always ranked high in Genshin Impact's Spiral Abyss usage rate charts.
Kazuha can crowd-control a group of enemies, shred their resistance as well as provide a powerful damage buff to his teammates. Also, the fact that he is an Anemo user gives him a lot of flexibility and allows him to be picked in almost every team comp in Genshin Impact.
While Alhaitham is not considered the strongest DPS character in the game, he can still dish out impressive damage numbers, especially if players surround him with the right team composition. Over the last couple of months, Genshin Impact's revenue numbers have been surprisingly low, especially considering that Yelan and Hu Tao who were featured just a couple of months ago in the first part of update 3.4 managed to break Genshin Impact's overall revenue record.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
