Genshin Rerun Data: Banner Regulars & Cryo Scheduling

The Extremes of Rerun Cycles: Endless Waits and Lightning-Fast Returns

In the rerun interval records for all characters, there is a stark polarization:

• Longest Rerun Cycle Record Holders: Diluc, Klee, and Eula. These three Mondstadt characters once jointly held a record of 693 days without a rerun (from the first half of Version 4.5 to the first half of Version "Luna V"). After a wait of nearly two years, the developers ultimately chose to bring them back to the players' view through the Chronicled Wish mechanism, implying a fundamental shift in the return model for early characters.

• Shortest Rerun Cycle Record Holder: Yoimiya. After her banner ended in the second half of Version 2.8, she had a lightning-fast rerun in the first half of Version 3.2 with an interval of only 70 days, a record that remains unbroken. Following closely are Xiao (125 days) and Tartaglia (126 days), showing that the developers possess extremely high flexibility in scheduling certain characters during specific periods.

Appearance Count Review: A Showcase for Archons and Popular Characters

To date, the characters with the highest number of banner appearances are undeniably taken by the first two Archons:

• Venti and Zhongli tie for first place in the entire game with a record of 7 rate-up appearances, fully demonstrating the absolute dominance and value retention of the Archons in rerun schedules.

• Following closely is a group of high-ownership characters with a record of 6 rate-up appearances, including: Tartaglia, Xiao, Yoimiya, Kaedehara Kazuha, Raiden Shogun, and Klee. Although some characters (like Klee) have experienced extremely long scheduling gaps, throughout the overall lifecycle of Genshin Impact, they remain frequent regulars with exceptionally high total appearances in banner history.

Cryo Character Rerun Status: Strategic Delay or System Restructuring?

Within the overall rerun data, the scheduling trajectory of Cryo characters indeed appears quite unique, sparking discussions among players regarding Cryo rerun cycles. By examining objective data, we can gain a clearer understanding of their actual situation:

Shenhe: The Epitome of Extreme Scheduling Strategies

Shenhe's schedule has been full of drama. She once endured a massive waiting period of over 650 days before entering the banner in Version 5.3. However, after that long silence, the developers gave her an intensive rerun just 126 days later (in the first half of Version 5.7). This extreme and unpredictable scheduling strategy truly tests players' resource planning abilities.

Wriothesley: A Bitter Wait in the Standard Banner

As a Fontaine Cryo Main DPS, Wriothesley has only had one rerun record in the second half of Version 5.4 since his debut in Version 4.1. As a melee Catalyst character with excellent combat feel, the official's conservative attitude towards his subsequent scheduling might be related to the numerical control of the overall Cryo environment or the systemic layout of future versions.

The Chronicled Wish Destiny for Eula and 4-Star Characters

As mentioned earlier, after a long wait, Eula finally made her return in the Chronicled Wish during the first half of Version "Luna V". At the same time, the acquisition difficulty for 4-star Cryo characters like Freminet often increases due to low rotation rates in standard Event Wishes. It is important to note that 4-star characters will also be included in the accompanying roster of the Chronicled Wish, so their actual acquisition channels are gradually shifting towards this mechanism.

Summary and Outlook

Judging from the data, the developers have indeed been relatively restrained regarding the standard rate-up schedules for Cryo characters over the past few major versions. But as the game progresses towards the Cryo nation, Snezhnaya, the Cryo system is bound to usher in a comprehensive mechanical revival. For players who love Cryo characters, now might be the best time to stockpile Primogems for future environmental shifts.
