Recent data from Genshin Impact has unveiled an interesting revenue comparison between the two featured five-star characters in Version 5.6: the Electro Archon Raiden Shogun and the reptilian hunter Kinich. As always, the game's dual banner system allows players to simultaneously wish for both limited characters during their run.

Following the Escoffier and Navia banners in the first half of the update, Version 5.6's second phase introduced a shared four-star lineup featuring Lynette, Sara, and Thoma alongside the two five-star characters. The Character Event Wish remains the most popular gacha option as it's the primary method to obtain new playable units. With Natlan's introduction, each update has consistently brought at least one new five-star addition to the roster.

The reputable Genshin Impact statistics platform Paimon.moe has released fascinating data showing the revenue split between these two characters. Surprisingly, the distribution was relatively balanced - Kinich accounted for approximately 57% of total sales while Raiden Shogun generated 43%. This 14% gap is notably smaller compared to previous banners, such as the Escoffier-Navia pairing where the former dominated with 85% of revenue.

What makes these results particularly interesting is Raiden Shogun's status as one of the game's veteran characters, originally introduced during the Inazuma storyline. Her continued dominance in the meta, thanks to unparalleled versatility across team compositions, likely contributed to maintaining competitive sales despite this being Kinich's debut rerun.

However, analysts note that the overall banner engagement appears lower than average, suggesting many players might be saving their Primogems for upcoming content. Version 5.7 promises exciting additions including the highly anticipated five-star warrior Skirk and Mondstadt's new four-star character Dahlia.

As the Natlan chapter approaches its climax, the community's attention is shifting toward the imminent Version 6.0 and the mysterious new region of Nod-Krai. Recent teasers have fueled speculation by hinting at appearances from legendary figures like Varka and Alice, creating significant anticipation among the player base.
