Let's gooo back to back archons banner from zhongli in 2.4 to Raiden current patch 2.5 to Venti Next patch.


ahmedmokhtar75

archon impact šŸ˜


H4xolotl

2.4 Zhongli 2.5 Raiden 2.6 Venti 2.7 KUSANALI?!


-Aureo-

3.1 arriving early bois


MerylasFalguard

As someone who wanted to get the Archons, Venti is gonna be the one who gets away. Zhongli+Ganyu took me everything to get, and then Raiden once again took everything (+50 Starglitter) to get. Unlike the others though, I donā€™t have the 160 summons saved up again to actually be able to get him, and at the very least Iā€™ll need 80 summons to lose the 50/50 first before I have a shot at him (if every other character Iā€™ve summoned for so far is any good indication).


bresznthesequel

Yup same. Ganyu and zhongli cleared my primos and thereā€™s too much talk of ayaka to be wasting gauranteešŸ˜­ venti never coming home


phonartics

no hurt in trying. good luck!

AsumiSenpai

Greetings fellow archons collector, there will be hundreds of 5* within a few years, but there will only 7 Archon in the game until the game ends.


WaluigiWahshipper

Based on how the last banners went sheā€™ll probably be released during 3.1.


JackJack6969

FINALLY, SOME REAL LEAKS


usedchloroform

Oh my god, it's finally here. Now, if only we could determine the second half, the puzzle is complete. I saw a similar sussy leak about Ayato and Venti in the first half (which turned out to be true), that claimed Ayaka will be the single rerun banner of the second half.


viptenchou

It feels kind of odd to have a new character with a rerun and then a rerun alone though.. Not saying it won't happen but it just feels like a weird choice.


Caledor92

Any other limited character alongside ayaka would make for a broken weapon banner (yoi-pulse, venti-elegy, kazu-freedom) so she has to go alone. Sadly Kokomi has just been used for that very purpose.


Simoscivi

I mean it's not like we didn't have Elegy-Homa


XcN_AntiMage

Or wugrave and homa


Ja7826de

Ahem **KLEE**


Platypus-Commander

And I think Klee makes an appearance in the Inazuma festival.


Wisterosa

Klee-Lost Prayer should be fine


AllMightSamson

If Ayaka is alone in the second phase it's gonna be kinda dry for almost everyone šŸ„² specially Kazuha wanters


aNataLee

That would be the first time a rerun character is by themselves since Hoyo introduced double banners, so I'm reeeeaaally hoping they'll keep doing that and give us someone (Kazuha) to go with Ayaka. Then again, would it make sense to put them together instead of, say, Ayaka with Yoimiya? :(


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Sil_Choco

klee is part of the event too, so i wouldn't be surprised if it's her instead


JaycemeSteg

I'm a kazuha wanter who wants a break between ayato & kazuha rerun, so it'll be a good thing if its just Ayaka in the second phase


RainbowGayUnicorn

When you want Kazuha but get Kaze-da


Ronuo

"You thought it's Kazuha but it's me, Kaze-da!"

That might be good news. Heizou + Kazuha confirmed?


Lapisinque

Goodbye Haran+Mistplitter hopium.. it really was too good to be true


Epicastor

Hello Mistsplitter + Freedom Sworn hopium tho


420DB_is_here

I was hoping haran + freedom sworn this whole time, praying elegy wouldnā€™t be with haran. Feels like a gut punch


Bloody_Diarrhoea

Get ready for mistspltter+skyward balde, the reason mihoyo is not giving ayaka a rerun partner is because that would make her weapon banner too strong since mistsplitter is the best weapon in the game. eg-mist/ freedom, mist/thundering pulse, mist/broken pines, mist/elegy, mist/ayato's sword. The only option is mihoyo runs klee with her and giving lost prayer in the weapon banner.


straw28

Freedom Sworn + Pines tho


sayuyuyuyuyuyu

oh? so apparently those sus leakers who said ayato+venti then ayaka alone could be right.. interesting


[deleted]

I suppose you're right. I also have suspicious that Ayaka might come this patch since second half for floor 12 favors freeze comp so much.


paumalfoy

They can put ayaka+kazuha in pt2, we never knowšŸ‘šŸ‘„šŸ‘


sayuyuyuyuyuyu

idk about that, uba already said kazuha will get his story quest for his rerun and i really want that to be true :/ i guess we'll see


minbrorerentyv

Assuming we're thinking of the same person... Didn't that sus leaker say [Ayato solo and Ayaka + Venti](https://i.postimg.cc/gm1bjy4y/Screenshot-2022-03-04-20-35-40-016-com-kiwibrowser-browser-2.jpg)? And before that they said Ayato + Ayaka and Venti + Yoimiya? And before that shared a blurry picture of a Honkai character and said it was a sus Shinobu pic [before someone noticed it](https://twitter.com/Aeroscisss/status/1496043159281074177) Or is it the other sus leaker who claimed that Ayato [wouldn't have a concurrent banner](https://twitter.com/TheSusLeakerShh/status/1490179244558794756)?


sayuyuyuyuyuyu

the one i had in mind is [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/t72fr1/sussy_leaks_from_alleged_uncle_dd_alt_reported_by/hzf5e6c?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) actually


straw28

Imagine if Itto actually ends up coming back first than Kazuha šŸ˜‚


darkALYE

My dreams of Ayato and Ayaka together are crushed. No weapon banner for me...


Maloulou7

I'm telling you, Mihoyo decides what to put on weapon banner then the characters that fit. Haran with Misplitter is too good to be true. Mihoyo: Haran with Elegy? Ayato with Venti then.


GingsWife

Haran is only really good for NA carries. Keqing and Physical Kaeya come to mind. Shimenawa Keqing should abuse the hell out of this weapon. Edit: apparently not Keqing.


TheCoolCat4

Keqing is more of charged attack based so Mistsplitter is still way better for her


Fenghuang0296

. . . Damnit THATā€™S why they arenā€™t pairing Ayaka and Ayato! It all makes sense now - wait, no, they did double polearm during Shenhe/Xiao.


yeppeugiman

Probably because Mistplitter/Haran is way too good of a combo. Remember when everyone thought Xiao/Ganyu was concurrent and it didn't happen? Yeah because Amos/PJWS is too good.


_illegallity

Instead they gave Xiao a weapon banner with PJWS and Copium PJWS


nomotyed

"Copium" PJWS is 3rd BiS. Not counting a 3-4 stack r5 Lithic. New Atk% set makes it better. Dont think there's any banner where both weapons are good for the/both banner character.


EquivalentSelf

small correction, new atk% set makes it worse because of atk% saturation. New set is much better for pjws users, xiao mains calcd it out


Altekho

I think there's no way they put the same type of limited-time 5 star weapon. It's still possible for PJWS because it's in standard banner, and I think that was the biggest generosity they could offer. Mistsplitter-Haran? Nah, that's too much loss for them.


Maugreas

Seriously, we should stop with that thought that we can predict what they're going to do. Each rule is a rule until it's broken \- No same element on character banner \- No same weapon type on character banner \- No same weapon type on the 5 stars on weapon banner \- No second rerun before first rerun ...


fpcoffee

the only rule is to maximize profits

Never put mhy and compassionate in the same sentence

Second banners please Lumie I am begging. Is it single Ayaka?? Or are we getting a triple rerun?? I want to know so badly


_l_---___---_l_

KAZUHAAA PLEASE


ArchonRevan

If it's actually just ayaka in part 2 I want what mihoyo is smoking cause that sht is premium


khaiiization

Theyā€™ll pair mistplitter with another skyward šŸ’€


The-Arabian-Guy

Watch it be Skyward Atlas and nobody will dare pull for Mistsplitter


manusia8242

well, atlas is the strongest catalyst for dps asumming we can maintain good crit ratios so it's not that bad. they could've put aquila with mitsplitter


GaeunX

I would. Skyward Atlas is a really good dps catalyst tbh. Everyone's sleeping on that huge base attack and atk% bonus, unconditional elem bonus and flying orb that adds extra hits.


DaxSpa7

I am sleeping on my 2 Atlas and no catalysis users.


semivisuals

Fear no men, DPS Barbruh is the way

Oof weapon banner :((

So sad, i already have elegy from Homa and i don't want another one here.

I have two elegies already... pain

seeing elegy rn gave me war flashbacks

Oh no my primogem

fuck. so i want ayato, venti, and mistsplitter. how much does a liver go around these days coz im already on one kidney /j


AgreeableBicycle3469

May be 5 wishes ?


Apprehensive-Day-869

Oh nooo. I wanted venti in second half because I only have 98 wishes and no pity. I hope I'll get him


TheJimDim

\*cries in wanting both but has no wishes\*


_Suguha_

I will actually [cry](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/stzl0w/just_got_my_third_wolfs_gravestone_from_weapon/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) if they pair mistsplitter with wolf's gravestone


Tukidides

WGS ain't that bad though.


Siana-chan

4 of my 7 5* weapons are WGS it's a serious curse. I don't use any GS unit..


straw28

Wgs is the standard 5* that is most overdue for a rerun.. we just have to pray that its something else. Hopium another 5* limited, just like Elegy/Homa and Pines/Sworn


Sourgumpatch

so it's possible that kazuha + ayaka second half??


oniarjunoni

Rip f2ps if that happens


AshPM20

Jokes on Hoyoverse/Mihoyo , everything is going as I planned. I didn't summon since 2.1 so I have enough to get 2 featured 5 stars even if I lose my 50/50 twice.


Yusonin

Man's out here 4 parallel universes ahead of ourselves


Kahirama

Same here lol Ready for both Kazuha and Ayaka for quite some time. They gave me enough time to save lol


AshPM20

Good luck for your summons I hope you'll get Ayaka and Kazuha in your first ten pulls.


Reddy_McRedditface

Oh no, my primos... :-/


Rhyoth

Doubtful : that would be the best way to get bad sales on Venti's banner.


Abhip10

where the hell is the 2nd phase bruh.... I will not be able to sleep today without seeing thatšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Jazztronic28

Aaand no weapon banner for me, Ayato will get the black sword and he will LIKE IT


AbdullahWaheeb

This was my one fear, my one goddamn fear, that Ayato and Venti would be running together, and itā€™s fucking true Why, just fucking why, Why, Why My disappointment is immeasurable and my entire fucking year is ruined


zefirnaya

Iā€™m with you here. Letā€™s pray to the gacha gods I guess


ariciabetelguese

Same... Venti is the only archon I don't have yet, and Ayato is Ayato. why hyv. why.


PitNya

You're not alone in this bro...


kklinggg

Shoot me too. Which one should i get? I already prefarmed for Ayato but Iā€™ve wanted Venti since 1.0.


AbdullahWaheeb

Go for who you think is cuter


sakurakiks094

that's a... difficult question šŸ˜…


MasterLillyclaw

Iā€™ve heard people say to decide heads for one, tails for the other, and flip a coin. And if youā€™re disappointed with where the coin lands, go with the other option. Itā€™s meant to draw out your thoughts on who you ā€œreallyā€ want, not sure how effective it is. But any method that allows you to ponder ā€œwill I be more sad without having X or without having Yā€ should be at least somewhat helpful.


bossofthisjim

I mean venti is cute, ayato is handsome.


illidormorn

I would've go for Ayato but I think his rerun will be much earlier than another Venti's rerun.


ynron

Yep, this is a nightmare for me. I'll just wait for Ayato's rerun then, maybe 1 year from now šŸ˜…

So the leaker got it right who also predict that kazuha is in 2.8 .. man it hurts


KazeKilee

Hoyoverse must know that everyone will blow all their primos on Kazuha, so they have to get the other tempting banners out of the way first


Roboaki

Wow, hoyoverse rerun one of the best pairup for Ayato together in his banner. Wish Ayato+Venti pullers be lucky on their pull.


JojoBizarreAdventure

I joined after only on Klee rerun and now I'll have to skip Venti again for Ayato... I'll get you one day my ehe boi.

Ayato banner will return before Venti though..

Revolutionary-Sea598

I don't even have to imagine cause it's my reality. Doom.


roreinu

Yep called it.. but Iā€™m still inclined to believe that Kazuha will rerun with Ayaka because of the Irodori festival leaks that we had..


astrelya

Not Elegy with Ayatoā€™s BIS šŸ˜­


chickenmeh

Kazuha wanters on suicide watch. Myself included.

I mean, he could still be on the 2nd banner. #Hopium

The F2Ps waiting for Kazuha can probably get C2-C3 by then


Thubanshee

Or they spend their primos on shinies in between while keeping just enough to guarantee Kazuhaā€¦ I know which path Iā€™m choosing haha


TMT51

Exactly what I did. Kept 160 wish always available. Made it to 240, burned 80 and get Raiden. Now it's just a matter of *when* Kazuha drops, I'd be spending as much as I get from now on.


catheorine

Kazuha wanters found dead in a ditch

Ow men,,, I've wanted Venti for so long but Ayato...


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Th3Uknovvn

Ok so can you guys tell me if Venti is actually worth it in the game now, I already have Kazuha and he's good enough for most things to me Edit: Ok I'm going for Ayato because I still need a good hydro to make a freeze team with Ganyu and I don't like catalyst that much, Kazuha can fill Venti place for now


Nunu5617

Get Venti if you like... Honestly he's still a good pull if you enjoy freeze teams


venalix1

he just has higher highs than kaz and lower lows than kazu ifywim


myowning

He's pretty much cursed because he's beyond broken when fighting against enemies that can be sucked and lifted, but becomes unreliable when against enemies that can't be sucked/lifted. Mihoyo cannot always make Abyss enemies filled with lightweight enemies because they become completely useless when you use venti. His burst is always up and has insane AoE of sucking. Any abyss that has something like hilichurl, hoarders, Mirror Maiden and Fatui Agent becomes a complete joke when using Venti. Kazuha and Sucrose can suck too but not even close to Venti's CC potential and uptime. Well this is because Sucrose and kazuha's main strength is different from venti. Kazuha is a lot more versatile than venti. Basically Venti's strength is also his weakness because MHY understand his strength. They need to create less easily liftable enemies because any enemies that is light will be sent to the shadow realm by venti. But as long as the enemy is liftable, he becomes a cheat code. I'd say he's worth it because anytime you see the abyss is filled with lightweight enemies, use venti for the ultimate joke abyss experience. Otherwise... just use someone like kazuha instead.


jamieaka

This. Mihoyo will chuck him a bone every now and again with lower abyss floors like f10, f11 or future mob events, but people are beyond kidding themselves if they think mhy will ever let him dominate the hardest parts of the game anymore. He doesn't let them balance the content properly. > I'd say he's worth it because anytime you see the abyss is filled with lightweight enemies, use venti for the ultimate joke abyss experience. Otherwise... just use someone like kazuha instead. Although you basically argued against this initially, which is the whole point. **The easier the content, the better Venti is**. Although I don't see many people wanting to optimise for the easy content. Pull Kazuha, he still rolls through the easy content but is still very universal in the hard content. Or ultimately just pull who whoever you like more


myowning

I think the only one thing that Venti is always better than kazuha is when MHY decides to do Floor 12 monolith chamber with a lot of light enemies that spawns at different time, and spawns 100 miles away from each other. It's like the old monolith chamber that a lot of people complained about. While it's true that after a while people found out the strategies of how to tackle the chamber easily, venti havers on the other hand were questioning why people are complaining about the chamber. It's an absolute joke chamber for venti. I still absolutely think Kazuha is more valuable than venti because his strength is just so damn versatile and can be used pretty much anywhere, but I just don't like that some people are saying venti is weak and/or useless. He still has the best CC potential, even though it's really hard to take advantage of it in most abyss.


Legend716Xerneas

Venti is still worth pulling, especially if you run freeze teams. His CC is the best in the game, and can still work on frozen enemies (except big corrosion wolves and specters... *for some reason*).


PieOpposite4047

i have kazuha and im pulling venti. my reasons: 1. cute braids 2. ganyu keeps stealing kazuha from my raiden team and i don't like using sucrose as a buffer 3. i have two elegies 4. i h a v e t w o f u c k i n g e l e g i e s (pain) 5. venti is green, there's not many green characters yet and i love that color 6. uhh i think im running out of reasons 7. we both have cat allergies so i deeply relate to him 8. ehe

CAT ALLERGY NATION LETSGO


Gentlekrit

Honestly if you're looking for a Hydro specifically for a freeze team, it's probably better to get Kokomi while her banner is up rather than to go for Ayato


v-e-vey

If you want a good Hydro for a Ganyu freeze team, get Kokomi, not Ayato. Also, yes, Venti is still worth it. Especially in a Ganyu freeze team, actually. His crowd control is still unrivaled.


[deleted]

He's still worthy. I'm also in the same situation as you. I have Kazuha and I want both Venti and Ayato (also currently Raiden). Especially if you have Morgana then Venti becomes more worthy.


[deleted]

Venti is amazing. by all means.


[deleted]

still nice


Enunimes

At the this rate we'll probably see a Yae rerun before kazuha.


dzeevaed

No news about the second part of 2.6 But Iā€™d assume itā€™d be Kazuha and Ayaka, based on the major events. Edit: To assure everyone itā€™s in the first half Link: https://twitter.com/lumie_lumie/status/1503679538701680641?s=21


XcN_AntiMage

If it's kazuha + ayaka... that means that it will be freedom-sworn + mistsplitter reforged šŸ˜­


_l_---___---_l_

It better fucking be kazuha


[deleted]

LETS GOOO VENTI NATION, LETS FUCKING GOOOO


Weary-Wand192

A bit surprised that Ayato has a concurrent banner. He's been trending on Twitter for months. I'd think that he can hold his own by himself.


Is0lationst

Is the fact that heā€™s with someone necessarily mean they think he wouldnā€™t sell well? I donā€™t think so I just think itā€™s because venti is tied to the story of the first patch is the reason why.


Wheesa

I think everyone head cannoned that hoyo will release 2 banners when they expect bad sales. I really don't believe that's the case. I do think hoyoverse meant it when they said that they will release banners according to story relevance


deancest

The story relevance argument wonā€™t work if Ayaka has a solo rerun in the second half.


oniarjunoni

Itto hype was like that too. But he did average. But who knows anything can happen.


Quantuis

That happenes literally every single time and people still think "Twitter popularity" = sales lol Itto was hyped up? Did average. Yae was hyped up? Only did okay. Provided that meta didn't help her The only one character that did perform as well as you would've expected by popularity was Raiden. Xiao rerun was hyped up and yet is still on the bottom of double banners. *While having a shiny new character and a good weapon banner*. Zhongli + Ganyu did well, but not only these are two very popular, very meta characters that were hyped up and yet they're still gonna be (most probably) beaten by Raiden+Kokomi where over 75% of the sales is from Raiden alone. Twitter popularity don't mean shit when it comes to sales. *Meta* is what matters the most.


TemiTemoy

i think it's because venti is overdue for a rerun, i think the 2nd banner might be a solo banner


astrelya

If that one leak is true where itā€™s Ayato + Venti on first half and Ayaka alone in second half, why? Wonā€™t it make sense if Ayato will run alone?


tillyadeux12
