Genshin Influence so as to add third banner part in Fontaine, leak suggests

This Genshin Influence leak means that HoYoverse shall be including a 3rd character banner part to its anime recreation. This might increase the variety of out there five-star banner characters to 9 per replace, offering extra choices to tug for in every model. It’s possible a needed 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 house.

Hu Tao and Shenhe had been not too long ago in the identical boat as Eula, ready over a yr to turn into out there for pulls once more. Fortunately, Hu Tao is at the moment on a banner in Genshin Influence 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 not too long ago. She gained’t even be on a banner in the course of 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 – shall be out there.

When HoYoverse begins including new characters to tug for from Fontaine, older choices will begin to get fewer and fewer reruns. Every replace is at the moment about six weeks lengthy, so the banners may be cut 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 dwell. Crew China’s information has been translated and put within the Reddit thread linked above. It appears as if this modification 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 deal with pulling for Hu Tao and Yelan earlier than they disappear once more for months when Genshin Influence model 3.5 goes dwell subsequent week.
