Both characters arrived as part of the second banner cycle for Genshin Impact update 3.3, which also includes a decent four-star lineup. Players who want to get these five-stars who are considered S-tier picks in their respective roles have a couple of weeks to do so as their banner is scheduled to expire around January 17, 2023.

Reddit user TimocaSamJa has shared an interesting chart that shows how well the Ayato and Raiden Shogun double banner did when it comes to sales, at least on its first day. According to the chart, the banner took the 19th spot on the first-day revenue list which is considered underwhelming by many comments. It should be noted that the data in the chart represents only iOS devices on the Chinese server. Players expected the banner in the top 10 considering it features one of the strongest characters in Genshin Impact, Raiden Shogun, and Kamisato Ayato, who is considered an S-tier Hydro DPS character.

Some fans claim that one of the reasons why the banner didn’t live up to the hype is probably the fact that a lot of players already have Raiden Shogun in their roster, and they want to save up some Primogems for the upcoming character releases in Genshin Impact. Others claim that they’ve already spent all of their Primogems on previous banners which were stacked with popular characters like the Anemo user Wanderer and the new Dendro Archon Nahida.

Raiden Shogun is widely considered one of the most useful characters in the game due to her ability to fill multiple team compositions. The Raiden National party is currently the most popular type of team comp in the Spiral Abyss, and it also consists of three four-star characters: Bennett, Xiangling, and Xingqiu.

The second limited five-star character, Kamisato Ayato, was released back in update 2.6, and this is his first re-run. Even though he can work as an off-field support, Ayato’s primary role should be main DPS. Genshin Impact players who want to get Ayato’s damage potential to the next level should try to acquire his signature sword, Haran Geppaku Futsu, which is featured on the current weapon banner.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
