A Genshin Impact chart has revealed the overall sales difference between the two currently featured five-star characters: Inazuma's Raiden Shogun and the Saurian hunter Kinich. Genshin Impact always features two different banner cycles, each including double banners that allow players to pull for two separate five-star characters at the same time.

After Escoffier and Navia, who appeared in the first part of the update, the second banner cycle of Genshin Impact Version 5.6 featured Raiden Shogun and Kinich, with a shared four-star lineup that included Lynette, Sara, and Thoma. The Limited Character Banner is probably the most popular gacha banner in the game, as it's the only one that features new playable units. Since Natlan's arrival, each new update has featured at least one new five-star character.

Version 5.7 will have a limited number of Primogems on offer, but Genshin Impact fans can obtain some free Primogems with a single click.

A credible Genshin Impact stats website named Paimon.moe has revealed the sales revenue difference between Raiden Shogun and Kinich. According to the data, the revenue seems to be fairly evenly split between the two characters, with Kinich responsible for around 57% of the total, compared to Raiden Shogun’s 43%. Although there is a 14% difference, this is still considered relatively close, especially when compared to many previous banners. For example, in the previous Genshin Impact banner, Escoffier generated 85% of the total revenue, while Navia accounted for only 15%. Raiden Shogun is one of the oldest characters on the roster, having been released at the start of the Inazuma update. However, the Electro Archon is still considered one of the strongest characters in the game due to her versatility in fitting into many different team compositions. This is likely one of the main reasons why the sales were so evenly split, despite this being Kinich’s first re-run.

However, it should be noted that the sample size for the current banner does not seem to be very large, suggesting that many players may have skipped it. One major reason is that the upcoming Genshin Impact updates will be packed with new content, including the long-awaited five-star character Skirk, who is confirmed to arrive in the next banner cycle.

Skirk won’t be the only new roster addition in Version 5.7, as HoYoverse has revealed that she will be joined by Dahlia, a four-star character from Mondstadt. As the Natlan arc nears its conclusion, many players have likely decided to save their Primogems in preparation for the release of a new major region in Genshin Impact Version 6.0.

Over the past couple of months, HoYoverse has released multiple promotional teasers hinting at the arrival of a new region called Nod-Krai. These teasers have sparked a lot of excitement in the community, as they finally revealed some of the most legendary characters, such as Genshin Impact's Varka and Alice.
