Based on sales reports, it appears that the banners featuring Baizhu and Ganyu in Genshin Impact have not performed well, making them among the game’s worst-selling banners.

In the second half of Version 3.6 of Genshin Impact, the Baizhu and Ganyu character banners were introduced, alongside the expansion of Sumeru’s desert region and two new bosses. The first half of Version 3.6 saw the Nahida and Nilou re-runs.

Although the current Wish banner in Genshin Impact introduces two new characters, Baizhu and Ganyu, it has not been able to generate significant revenue. This is the first time 5-star Dendro user Baizhu has appeared in a banner, while the 5-star Cryo vision holder Ganyu has been re-run for the third time.

Genshin Impact Baizhu’s banner dissapoints

According to Game Rant’s report, the current double banner featuring Baizhu and Ganyu in Genshin Impact has secured the 41st position on the all-time revenue list consisting of 47 entries. This means that the two characters have outperformed several past 5-star additions, such as Keqing, Klee’s re-run, two Tartaglia re-runs, Yoimiya, and Kokomi. Despite the lower-than-expected revenue, players have until May 23 to roll the Wish and potentially improve its performance.

Surprisingly, Baizhu and Ganyu’s current banner has only earned $5,482,270 as of now, despite the anticipation surrounding the debut of the Dendro user. Baizhu was first introduced during the early days of Genshin Impact in the Liyue Archon quest, and players were excited to finally have him as a playable character. However, the community’s excitement did not seem to translate into revenue for the game.

Frequent Dendro character additions could be the cause

Since Collei’s introduction as the first Dendro user in August 2022, Baizhu became the eighth character with the same element to join the Genshin Impact roster within nine months. As a result, some players have grown weary of the frequent addition of Dendro characters.

With the introduction of Baizhu, the number of Dendro characters in Genshin Impact now matches the amount of Geo users. Despite the recent addition of Dehya, no 5-star Geo characters are available in the game’s Standard Banner. Some players have expressed their weariness of the constant influx of Dendro characters since the element’s introduction, with Baizhu being the eighth Dendro user added within a span of nine months.
