Summary
- Xianyun and Nahida limited banner in Genshin Impact generated over $20 million in revenue in the first week, making it the 10th most successful banner.
- Xianyun is a powerful Anemo support character with great synergy with another Anemo user, making her a flexible and valuable addition to a party.
- Nahida, the Dendro Archon, is highly favored by players for her versatility and power, being able to fulfill multiple roles in a team.
A Genshin Impact chart shows the first-week revenue of the current limited banner that features the new five-star character Xianyun and the Dendro Archon Nahida. Both of these characters are part of the first banner phase of the ongoing version 4.4, which also features a new four-star unit named Gaming.
Every update in Genshin Impact is divided into two phases, each offering a set of limited characters for approximately three weeks. As the pool of playable characters keeps expanding with each new version of the game, it has become customary for updates now to feature two or three re-runs that feature previously released five-stars.
A popular Genshin Impact stats website known as GenshinLab has revealed the Xianyun and Nahida banner revenue after one week. According to the data shown in the chart, this double banner has accumulated over $20 million, which makes it the 10th most successful banner in the game. However, it should be noted that the data shown on the banner only represents the iOS player base in the Chinese community, which means that the actual sales are probably much higher. The top spot still holds the Yelan and Hu Tao double banner that was featured back in Version 3.4.
How Good is Xianyun?
Xianyun is a powerful S-tier Anemo support who can greatly increase her party's Plunging Attack damage. This means that she has great synergy with another Anemo user, Liyue's fearless Yaksha known as Xiao. His kit revolves around using the Plunging Attack during the duration of his Elemental Burst, Bane of All Evil, which makes him jump higher than usual. The fact that she's an Anemo user makes Xianyun a flexible Genshin Impact character since this element cannot interfere with other elemental reactions.
Another factor contributing to this banner's success is probably the inclusion of the fan-favorite Dendro Archon, Nahida. She is widely considered the most powerful Dendro character in all of Genshin Impact. Nahida can be used in a variety of roles, from support and sub-DPS to being the main damage dealer.
While new four-star characters usually don't get a lot of attention, the Pyro claymore user Gaming seems to be an exception as he quickly became a favorite in the community. Many fans even claim that the only reason they've pulled on this banner is to get their hands on the new Liyue four-star. Travelers who want to get either of these characters have a couple of days left as the current banner is set to expire around February 20.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
