I wish my worst work would make a few million dollars
dude i stg the kazuha rerun will be the highest earning banner ever
I believe Kazuhas rerun will be very high since even if Sumeru is coming he is one of the must have.
It's kinda fun how everyone actually prefer to dont remember first Raiden quest cause it was an absolute joke. Also i kinda feel that poor Yoimiya gonna beat Tartaglia to the last place in 2.8, cause where is Kazuha right Before and 3.0 right after, literaly worst appearence time ever, if weapon banner wont feature something super amazing, she Will crash. (even if now she considered to be much better than at her initial release)
I’ve been waiting for kazuha since miko’s release, i think kazhua’s banner would do so much better than his first one. He’s highly anticipated.. I personally cannot wait!
what a nice analysis. thanks for the insight, it was enjoyable to watch
I’m currently wavering between kazoo man and the terroristic child.
14:12 iirc, corrosion was already featured in f10(?) of the abyss before her release. I even remember thinking "woah, mhy really straight up told us to get kokomi for this corrosion thingy huh"
Yeah the upcoming yoimiya/klee banner is gonna be very bad, rightfully so thank mihoyo for including such a skippable banner.
Oh my god about shogun's banner sales: "she was cool, you could feel sympathetic for her backstory"
No way 😂😂, she was a tyrant, tortured her people, her inactions made her people suffer so much through a war (despite Genshin being kid friendly, you can understand lots of people actually died) and all of that for a stupid ideal that wasn't even that hard to argue with. And also she kinda got manipulated by the fatuis? ( Don't remember exactly about that tbh)
She's by far the worst archon in term of reliability and sympathy. You could actually consider her as somewhat evil.
You have Zhongli planning for his retirement, establishing a scheme to be sure his people was ready
You have Venti who, despite being a comedic relief, is always there to help when mondstadt is in danger.
And then Shogun making her people suffer. We had lots of heartbreaking stories about it I can't get why her lore is liked? She kinda sounds dumb and evil which doesn't sound too appealing to me.
Evil can be badass but here it's just meh since she's kinda dull
With Raiden's rerun earning a lot, no one can use the top up reset excuse..🤣🤣 I know the there is Kokomi with her but no one can deny that majority of the sale comes from Raiden..
Kokomi definitely got a boost as time went on. Like the fact that she couldn't crit was terrible. But thanks to the clam set I actually rolled for her and have her on my team always
justice for my girl kokomi!!!
I'm curious of how high kazuha is about to jump lmao
My Baal hype was actually way before leaks of her were seen, like ppl weren’t talking much about her when I decided I was gonna go ham for her release. I main Raiden Mei’s Herrscher of Lightning battle suit in Honkai and once we found out her name was the Raiden Shogun I put my money in Mihoyo’s hands once again.
i feel that kazu, klee and yoyi will be pretty low, as a bunch of sumeru characters just got released
yeah.. gonna skip kazuha again.. preparing for sumeru is better since i already have yoimiya i can skip her as well.
Kazuha was looked down on alot but I'm happy i went all the way on his banner
I agree with most of what you said but you downplay yoimia too much lol. Her first banner was just bad timing just like her second banner being the last before Sumeru. I can attest she is powerful and fun to play. Hoyo just keeps doing her banners dirty with the timing.
Great informative video, thanks!
Overall good, but there is one important thing you didn't mention in the video, which is the player base is actually growing consistently in the east (mainly China and Japan) That's why the recent banners are all generally out performing the earlier ones, and why the yelan banner are topping in Japan, whereas in the West neither the recent Ayaka banner nor the Yelan banner was performing well, cause the potential player base in the West is probably smaller compared to the east and there weren't many new players trying out Genshin.
When Kazuha rerun hits I feel like he is gonna become top 1 easilly, when he was released there was so much going on against him, no hype at all, mihoyo didn't even talk about him, most creators didn't even recomend them ( I despise some till this day cause of this) and so on and so on, who will knew that he would have such an impact in the story and have one of the best kits in the game… yeah its gonna blow up
2.2 – 2.5 was my biggest nightmare. All characters I wanted to pull were right next to each other. What made it worse is that I lost my 50/50 in all of them
14:15 for what I remember the abyss introduced the Corrosion mechanic even before it was discovered naturally in the new island, but players hated that even more because it was mihoyo atempt for force feed a character than no one wanted on top of having one of the worst anniversary for any gacha ever, also even the twitter main account treated her as meme, she is only good because the Clam set is such a powerfull set
I will never forget the hype that I had for ayato,I stopped playing after albedo’s rerun but when his dirp market dropped thats when I knew I was going to get him . plus ayato made me break my f2p rule lol I spent like 20$ to get him 🙂 ,I cant wait to get kazuha this time I lost the 50/50 to qiqi on his banner last year but this time he is guaranteed hehe
I don't think kazuha is gonna be around top 10, but top 1. I think everybody knew this but I still want to say:
Kazuha is now new going meta , the most used character in spiral abyss and Klee hasn't had a rerun in a very long time, so she is mid-hyped. But I'm pretty sure it's just going to be kazuha carrying his banner with klee and yk..
In the other hand with Yoimiya, she could potentially get atleast 15 million or higher, cause I don't see as many people with Yoimiya, so I feel like people are going to roll for her since not as many people I see have her. She's also a pyro main dps in where she can go along well with Yelan and Xingqiu, the two best duos in Genshin Impact.. So, that's what im precisely going to assume. Yoimiya can also make a lot more than 15 million, but definitely more than her previous banner
Sumeru isn't going to stop the 2.8 banners since people have considered about the 2.7 banners and are mostly going to roll for the 2.8 banners. We still don't know on what dendro gameplay is like, so I feel like people are just going to roll for the 2.8 banners instead of 3.0 banners.
Starting from the Inazuma characters like Kazuha, we also see this pattern of people saying that the new character was terrible, but towards the end of the banner, realizing that they are actually quite good (after all, most of them are comparing said characters at level 60 to old characters at level 80 or 90, as well as not having nearly as good artifacts on the new characters)
also part of why raiden/kokomi’s rerun did better is because kokomi was discovered to be a pretty good sidegrade to mona in the morgana/moryana team comps
i dont think what u r saying is correct
I have a feeling kazuhas banner will not fail this time
I just realized that the Hydro Archon is gonna need advanced/good timing,great design and exposure and a brilliant kit to get into the Top 3
Why I say the Hydro Archon is cuz Kusanali's model is a chibi not a waifu(not being biased) and because Hydro has a good reputation of having the drippiest characters with good kits and for it's versatility in teams the only bad factor is it's Resonance
I think its worth noting that genshin as a whole was kind of in a drought for content from 1.4->1.6. Game had drastically reduced the rate of new characters, no new permanent regions, and lots of players were getting fatigued waiting for inazuma, which had no public release date or really any information at all. With so many people taking breaks or quitting, its not a suprise that the rerun banners didnt do so well. Mhy has clearly learned from this tho, we havent gone more than 1 patch without a new area until just recently.
also this isnt talked about as much in NA, but eula was just an anti-casual character in and of herself. physical is boring and feels not great against all the ruin enemies in open world, her ultimate is super overkill for doing dailies, and a very high portion of her dmg was locked behind cons/weapon refinements, when compared to existing 5 stars at the time.
