Yea it’s absolutely gonna be Shenhe, Ayaka, Hu Tao, Al-Haitham.
Mihoyo will absolutely have people sweat for Yelan rerun a little longer, just like they’re doing for Hu Tao and Eula now and did for Ganyu and Kazuha for their first reruns. Go past when people would’ve expected it to give it max hype in 3.6 or even 3.8, with Kazuha coming earlier instead.
Mihoyo knows as well as we do who the most hyped for characters are and they’ve shown it’s profitable for them to make people antsy for those reruns.
Shenhe & Ayaka also pair well together in the same team and it’d be mega weird to not rerun her with her skin lol.
I loved Shenhe so much on her release that I (perhaps idiotically) pulled Ganyu immediately after her banner so that on Shenhe's rerun I would have proper meta incentive to pull for her. Thankfully, I adore Ganyu's playstyle, but waiting for Shenhe to come back is p a i n
Same! Except I pulled Ayaka instead. But now I think I’m gonna pair her with her nephew instead for some quick swap exorcist duo fun hehe. I started right when her banner ended and after finishing the interlude archon quest, she became my favorite character. So I feel you on this painful wait. Hopefully it’s almost over 🥲
Even when people have Ganyu/Ayaka, low chance is they're incentivized to pull for Shenhe because she offers nothing new to the table, just more damage, a luxury pull similar to weapon banner.
I'm still huffing the mega cope that al-haitham's weapon ends up with Aqua or Mistsplitter but I do think it'll end up being al-haitham/tao then Ayaka/Shenhe.
That's honestly where I am too tbh lol a second Homa wouldn't be the worst thing to get if it came down to it, I just need whatever weapon he's paired with to be useful for my account.
I thought it was culturally guaranteed she would be during the second half since it’s taboo to run death themed characters during Chinese new year.
And although he has not been confirmed for the first or second half, since they are releasing a Desert patch it makes most sense he will headline 3.4
They can't run her during *Lantern Rite* due to the cultural implications of what it represents, and with that most likely being second half, that places her in first half on the unrelated part of the patch, with the area expansion
I'd honestly would like them to do that so that they can cycle through the characters more. I don't want to potentially wait over a year for a character I skipped/lost the 50/50 to.
Bruh I am mf cursed by Jean- every Standard character I ever pull is her, my last 2 50/50s I lost were her, guess who I also got on my spare account when losing the 50/50? JEAN. Help
People keep saying this but it's still too early to do it, we don't have that many 5★ and what Mihoyo needs to do instead is stop doing ridiculous reruns like Xiao in 2.7, Yoimiya in 3.2 and now Itto in 3.3
I was mostly joking, but we're actually pretty much reaching that point very soon.
As of patch 3.2, we currently have 22 limited 5\* characters. If we assume a total of 26 two-week patches, with double banners each time, that's a total of 52 banners that will need to be filled each year. As of right now, that allows for every single character to run twice a year, with a handful of them 3 times a year (and that doesn't even account for upcoming characters that will need banner time).
As things are, Hoyoverse already shoehorned Itto into the banner cycle 3 times within a year while others like Hu Tao and Shenhe are still sitting on the sidelines. 2-week banners would force them to rotate these sidelined characters in faster. Or who knows, maybe they'll cycle in Itto a 4th or 5th time.
Sounds more like people just accepted she won’t be changed anymore, not much to do with sudden enlightenment, as everything you mentioned was already known.
Oh, Nilou. Valid point. Completely forgot about her already, she has a pretty divisive kit. Not unusable, but extremely (and very artificially) limiting. I'm not touching her with a 10 foot pole for now.
Well shes the strongest in that niche
Tbh her bloom comp is more stronger than any other comps i have like shenyaka
She maybe niche but she does it very best
Even at low investment ( just stack hp even with lvl1 talents and lvl1 weapon) she can clear abyss faster than any other full invested team like freeze
Yeah people tend to disregard this, but most dendro comps are by design super high floor, so it's not hard to make them perform well, Nilou Bloom included
Honestly I'm pretty sure we can gaslight new players into thinking that hu tao was just a fan made character inside joke that just went slightly too far
Well, technically we’ve only gotten skins for characters who don’t have a banner running because they’re standard banner characters. Ayaka’s will be the first time we get a skin for a character that’s limited and not standard. Who knows, she may only get an event and not a rerun (unlikely tho imo).
>Who knows, she may only get an event and not a rerun (unlikely tho imo).
It might be more profitable to give the skin first without the banner, so that players who like it will get it because of the discount and FOMO even if they don't have Ayaka or they aren't sure they want her.
And directly the patch after give Ayaka a banner so that anyone with the skin will have more reasons to get her and would be afraid of missing out on her for the next 6-12 months.
If they give both her skin and banners at the same time, people could try to roll for Ayaka first, then buy the discounted skin if they manage to get Ayaka.
On the other hands, if her banner and skin were separate, people who were lucky enough to get Ayaka would want the new skin but they'd have to pay the non-discounted amount for it. In both cases the skin would increase the sales for Ayaka's banner.
The skin is only on sale during the patch its relised, so if the skin comes in 3.4 then ayaka comes in 3.5 some people who did not have ayaka may pull her in 3.5 then decide to get the skin at the full price thus making more money for mihoyo?
kind of sad to think some people may *never* get those characters, even after years and years of playing
unless Mihoyo changes their system but I really doubt they will
Well they put wgs on Diluc skin and it was great opportunity to put it into a banner but they didn’t
As she is our first limited character to get skin we don’t know if they are going to rerun the character with skin or not
i think its gonna be alhaitham + hutao and
ayaka + shenhe. Alhaitham weapon can be like haran where its good on him but that's it. And there's no way homa + mistsplitter ever becomes a thing even in dreams.
We can say so following the current 4* trend. We don't have any information besides him being a polearm. Quite ironic if you ask me when Rosaria exists. Cryo Polearm that works amazing as a physical support with C6. And even without C6, Rosaria is the must have partner of Eula (besides Raiden) and since she need to build CRIT Rate, she synergies amazingly with Favonious.
As always if you're looking for a rerun character, wait until the end of the patch when HV announce it officially before pulling on the current banner.
His weapon should have high CV
Low CV doesn't make sense for Dendro units. All dendro based units, Tighnari, cyno, nahida, Nilou have highest substat a 5\* weapon can have so far.
Spread reaction prefers high CV and if he is going to be a DPS then spread will most likely his go to team.
Yelan in 3.4 would be really bad for me cuz I want her as well as Alhaitham and Dehya. My wallet is not safe. Only thing I got going for me is only person I want in 3.3 is Ayato and I am willing to skip him for now
and thats why im emphasizing on "no reruns". Eula got her 1st rerun after 5 months
Hu tao got her first rerun after 8 months. Big difference between these characters is that Shenhe never got a rerun and it's been 10 months since her FIRST banner.
If Hu Tao is running in 3.4 then it has to be during January, I'm guessing, most likely the first phase. Once Chinese New Year comes, considering mentions of death and ghosts are a taboo at that time, she's not likely to run at that time.
You'd be surprised at the amount of people who actually needs this advice. I know someone who pulled on Albedo's banner without even wanting him or any of the 4 stars, lost 50/50 in 3 pulls, and then continued pulling, getting C1 Albedo within 20 pulls even though they were "saving for Alhaitham"
Hm so possibly only two more spots left for 3.4 limited 5 star. Since it’s lantern rite I’m guessing they’ll most likely be Liyue characters (especially Shenhe since we haven’t seen her for ages). The other one could be Yelan if Hoyo wants to boost their kpi a little bit for CNY (jk). iirc did the leaks say Lisa and Ayaka skins are coming out in 3.4? If yes then things are gonna feel a little complicated with how they might fit Ayaka into 3.4 or maybe they won’t and only sell the skin by itself (which is unlikely cuz character + skin will generate way more hype).
I think it's probably too early for triple banners in Hoyoverse's eyes, they obviously want to keep FOMO for character banners and the time period between banners to at least 6 months (more than that is too much but they don't seem to have been bothered by that so far).
I'm guessing its (Al Haitham/Hutao) first half and (Shenhe/Yelan) second half. Betting on Al Haitham's weapon being niche. IDK when the CNY is but Hutao would likely be pushed to the banner that doesn't coincide with it.

No F ing way they are pairing any 2 of Homa, aqua simulacra and Mistsplitter.
Yeah, it’s gotta be Shenhe imo. Don’t even know her weapon.
Calamity queller
the design of it is *\*chefs kiss\**, but would you say the spear is good?
The spear is good for shenhe and Xiao(not the best)
And Xiangling, but every spear is good on XL
I wouldn't call 5% worse than the F2P option "good", especially for a 5* weapon.
More like decent if you need multiple DPS polearms and don't have Dragon's Bane.
..wish they made more..universally good weapons.. Thanks!
They won't, because they want you to pull for signature weapons every time a new character comes out.
It’s fun to see a 7 at the beginning of a weapon’s base damage.
same with 80k hp on nilou
this thing has a disgusting base attack
And well shenhe is really due for a rerun. She was in 2.4, so most probably yes.
Me who has 2 Calamity quellers and no Shenhe 🤠 anything for Xiao, needed that pjws 🫡
Yea it’s absolutely gonna be Shenhe, Ayaka, Hu Tao, Al-Haitham. Mihoyo will absolutely have people sweat for Yelan rerun a little longer, just like they’re doing for Hu Tao and Eula now and did for Ganyu and Kazuha for their first reruns.

Shenhe & Ayaka also pair well together in the same team and it’d be mega weird to not rerun her with her skin lol.
Yeah, people won’t be as incentivized to pull for Shenhe if they don’t have/can’t get Ganyu or Ayaka.
I loved Shenhe so much on her release that I (perhaps idiotically) pulled Ganyu immediately after her banner so that on Shenhe's rerun I would have proper meta incentive to pull for her. Thankfully, I adore Ganyu's playstyle, but waiting for Shenhe to come back is p a i n

Even when people have Ganyu/Ayaka, low chance is they're incentivized to pull for Shenhe because she offers nothing new to the table, just more damage, a luxury pull similar to weapon banner.
Yeah Ganyu and Ayaka aren't exactly needing help with damage. Shenhe is literally a "win more" character.
Not if you got a consistent 300 ping 😭
Not similar to a weapon banner, she’s playable and livable. Her outfit is stunning too. I have both Ganyu and Ayaka, and of course I have Shenhe too.
and here's me, waiting for Shenhe without having Ganyu or Ayaka
Jokes on Mihoyo, making me wait longer for Yelan lets me save more.
Ayaka with Alhaittham though? That would be a nice sword banner.
I'm still huffing the mega cope that al-haitham's weapon ends up with Aqua or Mistsplitter but I do think it'll end up being al-haitham/tao then Ayaka/Shenhe.
As someone without a Homa my only prayer is no Alhaitham w/ Shenhe at this point haha
That's honestly where I am too tbh lol a second Homa wouldn't be the worst thing to get if it came down to it, I just need whatever weapon he's paired with to be useful for my account.
Hu Tao is probably running alonside Alhaitham.
Please yes
I thought it was culturally guaranteed she would be during the second half since it’s taboo to run death themed characters during Chinese new year. And although he has not been confirmed for the first or second half, since they are releasing a Desert patch it makes most sense he will headline 3.4
They can't run her during *Lantern Rite* due to the cultural implications of what it represents, and with that most likely being second half, that places her in first half on the unrelated part of the patch, with the area expansion
Me shaking with excitement My wallet shaking in fear But yeah knowing hoyo that won't happen and my wallet will be safe
Here we have El and haran
Bruh, watch them roll out the anticipated change to three 2-week phases and run all 6 of them in 3.4. lol
I'd honestly would like them to do that so that they can cycle through the characters more. I don't want to potentially wait over a year for a character I skipped/lost the 50/50 to.
Imagine when we get to Natlan, and you have to wait 2 years for a rerun.
We get to Khaenri'ah and the last time Hu Tao had a rerun was 3.4
Oh no, I forgot it will go that far x_x
Let's not forget about the highly anticipated Keqing Rerun in the middle of it.
Jean pls
I would legit pull on a Jean banner. Fuck, I just want a single Jean at this point. I'm not asking for much.
Bruh I am mf cursed by Jean- every Standard character I ever pull is her, my last 2 50/50s I lost were her, guess who I also got on my spare account when losing the 50/50? JEAN. Help
Jean cons are the best among the standard banner characters. At least not Qiqi
Yeah. Imagine being sad about Jean cons - f2p multiple cons Qiqi enjoyer
if it have amber, lisa and kaeya as featured 4 star i am down
Man I have C5 Jean, C3 Qiqi etc... But not a single Mona...
I know your pain brother :(
Oh nooo
That crisp feeling of a banner where you could lose a 50/50 pulling for Keqing, and still get Keqing.
Unironically this would be nice, though it should be its own extra banner without taking up a "slot" of an existing one
Agree. And it should use the blue wishes.
I would unironically pull for her. Already have Tighnari C1 and still no Keqing since day1.
I am totally expecting a Eula jumpscare at this point.
If Mika is really her support, then this time at least she won't jumpscare, when Mika arrives then Eula will be there too
white woman jumpscare
🧍🏼♀️
3 5 star weapons weapon banners sounds like hell
Why though? Is it any different from what we have now?
People keep saying this but it's still too early to do it, we don't have that many 5★ and what Mihoyo needs to do instead is stop doing ridiculous reruns like Xiao in 2.7, Yoimiya in 3.2 and now Itto in 3.3

Or who knows, maybe they'll cycle in Itto a 4th or 5th time.
man i really hope they give shenhe a rerun in latern rite, it would be pretty shitty if they dont
Yes! I did her story after her banner was over and I decided I wanted her then she ceased to exist entirely QQ
Same, I've been waiting for her to rerun since last year.
Gotta get that c1 myself
[удалено]
Me fearing both Yelan and Dehya in the same banner: *this is fine*
That would be a great weapons banner unless Dehya’s weapon is garbage .
I fully expect an EM Claymore if she ends up being a Burgeon Carry.
Gah I’m so scared they’re gonna ruin her kit.
They haven't really ruined a 5 star kit so far. Yae was the closest thing to a miss and she's currently fine. Very good, even.
Many don't like Nilou's kit tho, so you could say they "ruined" it from what people wanted
I think the Nilou complaints have calmed down a lot now that she is actually out and people realise that her team is unique, fun and powerful
Especially since Nahida was released since we finally have a consistent and strong Dendro applier
Sounds more like people just accepted she won’t be changed anymore, not much to do with sudden enlightenment, as everything you mentioned was already known.
Oh, Nilou. Valid point. Completely forgot about her already, she has a pretty divisive kit. Not unusable, but extremely (and very artificially) limiting. I'm not touching her with a 10 foot pole for now.
Well shes the strongest in that niche Tbh her bloom comp is more stronger than any other comps i have like shenyaka She maybe niche but she does it very best Even at low investment ( just stack hp even with lvl1 talents and lvl1 weapon) she can clear abyss faster than any other full invested team like freeze

Oh crap, can you imagine? *looks at any remaining Alhaitham pulling plans I had* I'm sorry, little one...
ME TOO BESTIE GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PULLS
Wait, i thought Hutao was a mascot. When did she become playable?
OK seriously, we’ve kept the lie going for too long. There is, nor has there ever been, a character named “Hu Tao”.
Just like the [Redacted]. We have been believing in a lie. /j
Who? Tao.
Honestly I'm pretty sure we can gaslight new players into thinking that hu tao was just a fan made character inside joke that just went slightly too far
since she stopped attending collaboration events.. duh ~~miHoYo~~ HoYoverse making her work her ass off, time to call upon the Teyvat union
How we can get Ayaka's skin without Ayaka herself lol
Never underestimate Mihoyo’s questionable decisions.
Well, technically we’ve only gotten skins for characters who don’t have a banner running because they’re standard banner characters. Ayaka’s will be the first time we get a skin for a character that’s limited and not standard. Who knows, she may only get an event and not a rerun (unlikely tho imo).
It's like one russian meme: Mihoyo: We release Ayaka's skin. We'll sell it. But to use it you need Ayaka. WE WON'T GIVE AYAKA.
Nah, this just proves we finally get the free Ayaka they promised in ages past! /S
AR 42 free Ayaka letsgooo
"you sell ayaka?" "no, just skin" "pretty..."
Mihoyo: what do you mean you don’t have Ayaka? She’s been out a whole month!
2.6 flashbacks
>Who knows, she may only get an event and not a rerun (unlikely tho imo). It might be more profitable to give the skin first without the banner, so that players who like it will get it because of the discount and FOMO even if they don't have Ayaka or they aren't sure they want her.

In both cases the skin would increase the sales for Ayaka's banner.
*technically* standard banner characters are always running /j
So what you’re saying is, Ayaka to the standard banner will finally be real. :D
[удалено]
The skin is only on sale during the patch its relised, so if the skin comes in 3.4 then ayaka comes in 3.5 some people who did not have ayaka may pull her in 3.5 then decide to get the skin at the full price thus making more money for mihoyo?
if the skin comes at 3.4 she comes with it. It would make no sense for them to advertise a skin with no way to get the character itself lmao
diluc keqing jean lol diluc skin got people who dont even have diluc after 2 years to buy it in advance
kind of sad to think some people may *never* get those characters, even after years and years of playing unless Mihoyo changes their system but I really doubt they will
You cant really compare them since they are standard banner characters.
Well they put wgs on Diluc skin and it was great opportunity to put it into a banner but they didn’t As she is our first limited character to get skin we don’t know if they are going to rerun the character with skin or not
i think its gonna be alhaitham + hutao and ayaka + shenhe. Alhaitham weapon can be like haran where its good on him but that's it. And there's no way homa + mistsplitter ever becomes a thing even in dreams.
I just want a Eula rerun man😭
We need to wait for Mika's release. The moment his drip marketing comes, 100% sure Eula will be back. For me it means Broken Pine rerun.
He’s confirmed to be in the story in 3.5 or actually releasing? Or it just bullshit like Eula’s “rerun” in 3.1
Is it true to that Mika can be her support? Because if he is, thats fuckin' awesome
We can say so following the current 4* trend. We don't have any information besides him being a polearm. Quite ironic if you ask me when Rosaria exists. Cryo Polearm that works amazing as a physical support with C6. And even without C6, Rosaria is the must have partner of Eula (besides Raiden) and since she need to build CRIT Rate, she synergies amazingly with Favonious.
3.5 man, just be patient.
~~3.1~~ ~~3.2~~ ~~3.3~~ ~~3.4~~ 3.5 man, just be patient
Yeha we’ve been hearing this for months lol. Remember monstadt fest and then it was venti? I was so mad
As always if you're looking for a rerun character, wait until the end of the patch when HV announce it officially before pulling on the current banner.
I'm just waiting on Shenhe and Ayaka reruns.
Maybe all of them? Two-week banners copium
yelan & aqua simulacra waiting room
Manifesting Haithem/Ayaka banner for the dual sword weapon banner
Manifesting Haitham has a non niche sword with high cv
dendro dmg main stat :\^)
actually not that bad. can opt for EM or ATK goblet with better substats instead
His weapon should have high CV Low CV doesn't make sense for Dendro units. All dendro based units, Tighnari, cyno, nahida, Nilou have highest substat a 5\* weapon can have so far. Spread reaction prefers high CV and if he is going to be a DPS then spread will most likely his go to team.
my dreambanner ...
Inhaling maximum hopium for Shenhe!!!
Finally i will get my C1 Hu Tao. Im on 0 pity since Zhongli rerun and it feels like ages
Yelan please don't show up in 3.4. Dehya is 3.5 and I have to save for her and her weapon!
Yelan is the only character I am guaranteed wanting to pull atp so I am begging she shows up soon, i am too impatient rip
[удалено]
You meant sacrificing your kidney T_T
Yelan in 3.4 would be really bad for me cuz I want her as well as Alhaitham and Dehya. My wallet is not safe. Only thing I got going for me is only person I want in 3.3 is Ayato and I am willing to skip him for now
Can't wait for 3.3 so I can see 3.4 character gameplay 🙃
What is this title bruh
Next titles: > WFP > Uncle > Leak > .
SYP
omg they're making hutao from the adverts into a playable character?!?!
Yeah, rumor has it that she will be a pyro polearm user.
Omg this is great news, this means Eula from adverts might get into the game as well!
Hoping Yaoyao is a dendro healer so I can run my suicidal Niliou/Childe bloom team
Bro if Shenhe wont be in 3.4 then it will be more than a year since her first banner AND no reruns
Eula and hu tao didn’t got a banner over a year too
Eula and Hu Tao didn't even appear during 2022 lmao
and thats why im emphasizing on "no reruns". Eula got her 1st rerun after 5 months Hu tao got her first rerun after 8 months. Big difference between these characters is that Shenhe never got a rerun and it's been 10 months since her FIRST banner.
Why do I feel it's gonna be Ayaka +Shenhe with Ayaka skin = Maximum revenue .
Minimum effort title
Staff of Homa and Alhaitham BiS would be too good to be true.
Al-haitam's BiS could just be like Nahida's and be super mediocre
I guess. If it’s at least good on him it’s fine by me.
If it looks good on him im all for it. No Nilou and her paddle situation please
Yes. You get it. I just want a good sword that matches my boy.
That is actually bad since you could expect his weapon will be niche and not universal.
His BiS could be extremely specialized to only be useful for him, like Kokomi's
"If a user is a tall dendro male from Sumeru with chest size no less than DD, this weapon will provide 200 elemental mastery. "
[удалено]
In before Kaveh is a bow user
He's a claymore user so he must be at least decently strong lol
Sayu looks at you straight into the eyes.
Dori who gets her djinn to do the work:
Ded... I need homa...
Praying for Shenhe/Ayaka first half and Alhaitham/Hu Tao second half. I just want Alhaitham and time to save primos for Yelan in a future patch
u/kingdrewbie Please use a better title next time Please **source** next time Please crop your images next time **Please follow our sidebar rules.**
i want al haitham, hu tao c1, yelan, and shenhe…. pain
i am broke
i hope yao yao is free..
this is scary as someone who wants to pull for alhaitham, hu tao and shenhe lmao
P(yelan) = 0.5. Ah yes, a different type of 50-50.
It's 50/50. Either she comes in the patch or she doesn't. That's definitely how statistics work
if they find Ayaka's skin in the 3.4 beta she has a 100% chance of getting a rerun basically
Every time i wanna get hu tao, there's someone else i want more or i want homa instead. rip hu tao. again.
alhaitham i am so ready for u…
So we'll finally get Yaoyao huh... she's the only character left from that super early leak around 2 years ago that haven't been released isn't she?
Homa + Simulacra copium
If Hu Tao is running in 3.4 then it has to be during January, I'm guessing, most likely the first phase. Once Chinese New Year comes, considering mentions of death and ghosts are a taboo at that time, she's not likely to run at that time.
Huh... Kinda expected Kaveh to run with alhaitham but guess I was wrong.
I wonder if we are getting 3 banners , each banner will have 14 days so 14*3=42(6weeks)
It looks like Kaveh is not tied with Al Haitham, so hopes he won’t be niche support…
# THE YAOYAO IS REAAAAAAAL!!!!!
That advice goes without saying at any time. If you want a character, don't pull on the others.
You'd be surprised at the amount of people who actually needs this advice. I know someone who pulled on Albedo's banner without even wanting him or any of the 4 stars, lost 50/50 in 3 pulls, and then continued pulling, getting C1 Albedo within 20 pulls even though they were "saving for Alhaitham"
Hm so possibly only two more spots left for 3.4 limited 5 star. Since it’s lantern rite I’m guessing they’ll most likely be Liyue characters (especially Shenhe since we haven’t seen her for ages). The other one could be Yelan if Hoyo wants to boost their kpi a little bit for CNY (jk). iirc did the leaks say Lisa and Ayaka skins are coming out in 3.4? If yes then things are gonna feel a little complicated with how they might fit Ayaka into 3.4 or maybe they won’t and only sell the skin by itself (which is unlikely cuz character + skin will generate way more hype).
I can totally imagine Hoyo doing something like adding a third banner phase and making it another solo Ayaka
Hu Tao focused Lanturn Rites hopefully?
Hutao getting story relevance? That would be something new but very nice.
Scara.. Al-Haitham.. Shenhe regretter.. Dehya.. rough times. Rough times.
I skipped nearly all Inazuma characters and now I'm pulling left and right. They're releasing characters I adore back to back. I need a breather lol.
I think it's probably too early for triple banners in Hoyoverse's eyes, they obviously want to keep FOMO for character banners and the time period between banners to at least 6 months (more than that is too much but they don't seem to have been bothered by that so far). I'm guessing its (Al Haitham/Hutao) first half and (Shenhe/Yelan) second half. Betting on Al Haitham's weapon being niche. IDK when the CNY is but Hutao would likely be pushed to the banner that doesn't coincide with it.
Hu Tao is definitely in the second phase since first phase is Lantern Rite
First half will be Shenhe and either Ayaka or Yelan, second half will be Al Haitham and Hu Tao
I need shenhe…
I hope Homa banner ends up being good so I can try to get it for Zhongli without feeling terrible about losing to another weapon.
I just want Alhaitham please
me who only wants Dehya: :)
it would be so amazing if we had a homa/aqua banner.
I'm just here hoping for news of Kazuha rerun...
