Genshin Impact releases multiple promotional character-banners for each version of the game. Each limited-time character having a drop rate of 0.6% to 1.6% tempts the users to spend hundreds of dollars to unlock them finally.

In the process, miHoYo has generated millions of dollars on the release day of a 5-star character and weapon in Genshin Impact.

The report does not include characters like Klee, Tartaglia, and Venti, who were introduced before December 2020. Although the exact stats are not available, fans must not forget that Venti and Klee played a major role in generating over $250 million within one month of Genshin Impact's global release in 2020.

Despite all the drama regarding Zhongli's underpowered abilities, the character has owned the most valued banner in the last couple of months. Considering a rerun banner for Zhongli is rumored to arrive in version 1.5 or 1.6 of the game, the revenue can be expected to skyrocket in the future.
