The two five-star characters Yelan and Hu Tao from the preceding Limited Character Banner’s sales differences are displayed on a Genshin Impact chart. The double banner technique has become more popular as the game’s roster has grown with each new update, and it appears that every update introduces four different restricted five-star characters, two for each banner cycle.
In recent months, developer HoYoverse has also established a trend of including one new five-star character and three re-runs in a single update. The previous Genshin Impact update 3.4 featured two new Dendro characters, Alhaitham and Yaoyao, in the first phase.
According to previous income figures, the Yelan and Hu Tao double banner broke Genshin Impact’s total revenue record for banner sales. TimocaSamJa, a Reddit member, presented an intriguing statistic that demonstrates the difference in sales between the two highlighted five-star characters. Yelan’s sales account for 60% of the banner’s entire income, according to the article. Several fans were surprised since there was greater excitement in the community about Hu Tao’s re-run because she skipped 10 straight updates before obtaining a re-run. Her previous banner appearance was in November 2021, during version 2.2.
Difference between Hu Tao and Yelan Sales from Genshin_Impact
Hu Tao is an S-teir Pyro DPS character with a unique playstyle that requires some practise due to some unusual animation cancel tactics. Gamers must also maintain watch of their HP at all times, since Hu Tao receives large damage bonuses if her health falls below 50%. This implies that players must surround her with powerful shields, such as the Geo Archon Zhongli.
Several players believe that one of the reasons Yelan was able to outsell Hu Tao is that the recent addition of the Dendro elemental reactions has made Hydro the most powerful element in Genshin Impact. At the time of Yelan’s debut, a large portion of the community despised her kit, with many fans believing that she is simply a slightly stronger five-star version of Xingqiu.
Yelan has proved to be one of the most strong Hydro characters in Genshin Impact since then. Even though she has the capacity to deliver massive damage, Yelan’s primary role is likely to be sub-DPS because her kit can accomplish the job even if she is changed out.
