Summary
- Furina's sales represent over 96% of the total revenue on the limited character banner, making her one of the most popular and anticipated characters in Genshin Impact.
- Furina offers a unique kit that allows players to swap between defensive and offensive forms, making her a versatile and valuable Hydro support character for team compositions.
- Baizhu may not have as high revenue as Furina, but he is regarded as the best Dendro healer in the game and can be a powerful asset when surrounded by the right team composition.
A Genshin Impact chart shows the revenue difference between the two currently available characters, Furina and Baizhu. Both of these playable units are part of the ongoing double banner which arrived on November 8 as part of the first banner cycle of the new update.
Genshin Impact keeps expanding its playable roster with every new Fontaine update and, after the catalyst users Neuvillette and Wriothesley arrived in 4.1, HoYoverse finally introduced the long-awaited Hydro Archon in update 4.2. There has been a lot of hype around this sword user since she's one of the most important characters in all of Fontaine.
As Genshin Impact's roster kept growing with each update, developer HoYoverse introduced the double banner mechanic with update 2.3. This banner mechanic allows players to pull for two different five-star characters at the same time, and it often features one new character and a re-run. An interesting chart on the popular Paimon.moe website shows the difference in revenue between the two currently featured limited five-star Genshin Impact characters of Lady Furina and Baizhu. According to the chart, Furina's sales represent over 96% of the total revenue, which is a new record when it comes to the difference in revenue distribution between two characters on the same Limited Character Banner. This should not come as a huge surprise considering that Furina has been one of the most anticipated characters since her first appearance during update 4.0.
Furina offers a unique kit that allows Travelers to swap between the Pneuma and Ousia forms by using her Charged Attack. The Pneuma form is much more defensive as it allows Focalors' skill to summon three elemental lifeforms that heal nearby characters. In contrast, activating her Elemental Skill during the Ousia form will make these elemental lifeforms much more offensive, and they will attack nearby enemies, dealing Hydro damage in the process.
Her Elemental Burst can spawn a large form stage that increases the party's overall damage and healing potential. This flexibility makes Furina the go-to Hydro support for most team compositions that rely on this element. While the revenue difference seems massive, it does not reflect Baizhu's power on the field, since he's regarded as the best Dendro healer in Genshin Impact.
However, in order to use this Dendro healer to his fullest potential, players need to surround Baizhu with the right team composition. Travelers who want to add either Baizhu or Furina to their team have around 2 weeks to do so, since their banner expires on November 28.
