This Genshin Affect leak means that HoYoverse might be including a 3rd character banner part to its anime sport. This could increase the variety of obtainable five-star banner characters to 9 per replace, offering extra choices to drag for in every model. It’s doubtless a vital change when trying on the ever-expanding roster – characters like Eula haven’t been on a banner since late 2021 as a result of there simply isn’t sufficient area.
Hu Tao and Shenhe had been just lately in the identical boat as Eula, ready over a yr to turn into obtainable for pulls once more. Fortunately, Hu Tao is at present on a banner in Genshin Affect model 3.4, and Shenhe is confirmed to be coming within the second half of model 3.5.
Nonetheless, Eula has been lacking since November 2021, and there’s been no official point out of her banner in any respect just lately. She received’t even be on a banner throughout the Mondstadt occasions subsequent replace, which is weird, given the truth that 4 characters who don’t have anything to do with Mondstadt – Ayaka, Shenhe, Dehya, and Cyno – might be obtainable.
When HoYoverse begins including new characters to drag for from Fontaine, older choices will begin to get fewer and fewer reruns. Every replace is at present about six weeks lengthy, so the banners may be break up into two weeks every with a 3rd part.
Including a 3rd banner part simply is sensible, and this leak from Crew China means that this may occur someday after model 4.0 goes reside. Crew China’s data has been translated and put within the Reddit thread linked above. It appears as if this variation will come earlier than model 4.3, however after we’ve already entered Fontaine.
Model 4.0 continues to be a methods away, although, so it’s greatest to concentrate on pulling for Hu Tao and Yelan earlier than they disappear once more for months when Genshin Affect model 3.5 goes reside subsequent week.
