Genshin Impact Reveals Ayaka and Shenhe First-day Banner Sales

gamerant.com:

A Genshin Impact chart has revealed the first-day revenue numbers for the ongoing double banner that features two five-star Cryo characters, Kamisato Ayaka and Shenhe. They arrived as part of the second banner cycle for the current version 3.5 which also introduced a new four-star character named Mika.

The first part of the update also included a new character, the five-star Pyro user Dehya who's scheduled to join the Standard Banner once Genshin Impact update 3.6 arrives. Players who want to acquire Ayaka or Shenhe have a couple of weeks to do so since their banner is expected to expire around April 11.

Genshin Impact Fan Creates Impressive Itto Skin

Reddit user TimocaSamJa has shared a chart that shows how well the Ayaka and Shenhe double banner performed on its first day. According to the post, the banner managed to squeeze into the top 10 on the list which does not come as a surprise considering that Both Ayaka and Shenhe are considered S-tier characters in their respective roles. Another reason behind the banner's success is likely the fact that a lot of players accumulated a significant amount of free Primogems by avoiding pulling for Dehya and Cyno in the first part of the update. In comparison, the current double banner already surpassed the full-time revenue of its predecessor.

Kamisato Ayaka is widely considered the strongest DPS character in Genshin Impact when it comes to applying elemental damage. Ayaka's kit revolves around her Elemental Burst, Kamisato Art: Soumetsu, which creates a whirlwind that continuously deals Cryo damage in a large area. Unlike many other bursts in the game, Soumetsu's effect is very simple which makes it much easier to build the right team around this Cryo sword user.
