Summary
AGenshin Impactplayer has created an interesting chart showing how many consecutive banners each four-star character has skipped so far. Four-star characters are usually considered second-tier playable units, as their kits are typically weaker compared toGenshin Impact’s five-stars.
Every limited banner inGenshin Impactfeatures three different four-star characters, who run on a 10-wish pity. This pity is shared between both limited five-star characters offered on the double banner. While four-stars are generally easier to obtain, the drop odds are divided among the three units, making it tricky to acquire a specific character from the four-star lineup.
As HoYoverserecently revealed all the characters featured on the Phase 2 Limited Character Banner for the ongoing update, a Reddit user named RapidFresh shared a chart showing the four-star waiting list forGenshin ImpactVersion 5.1. Surprisingly, at the top of the list, with 12 missed updates so far, sits the Inazuma detective Shikanoin Heizou. This Anemo DPS unit was a fan-favorite four-star upon his release, asGenshin Impactintroduced a new type of playstyle. Heizou was the first Catalyst user in the game who favored close combat, a playstyle later replicated to some extent in other catalyst DPS characters like Wriothesley.
Genshin Impact: Which 4-Star Units Missed Most Consecutive Updates?
The second character on the list, with 11 missed updates, is Cryo polearm user Mika, a solid support choice forGenshin Impactteams that rely on Physical damage. Some comments noted that Mika had so few banner and in-game appearances that they even forgot his name or that he was part of the roster. There is a chance that Mika could get more screen time with the release of the long-awaited Mondstadt expansion.
According to the chart, the Anemo claymore user Sayu has not been featured in the game for 10 updates now. This Shuumatsuban ninja was one of the first Inazuma characters to join the roster back in 2021. While she may not be a meta pick, Sayu offers one of the most enjoyable playstyles in the game, thanks to her unique rolling ability that significantly enhancesGenshin Impact’s overworld experience.
The fourth spot on the list is currently shared by three characters: Fischl, Diona, and Chongyun. Many still consider Fischl an A-tiersub-DPS or support inGenshin Impactdue to her ability to deal great damage and regenerate energy with the help of her Oz, even when she’s off-field. Chongyun was once the go-to Cryo DPS, but releasing more complex characters has turned this four-star unit into a situational pick.
