AGenshin Impactfan has created an interesting chart that ranks the game’s playable five-star characters by the number of updates they have not been featured on a Limited Character Banner. Every update in the game has two banner cycles, each of which features one or two five-star and three four-star units.
Developer HoYoverse already confirmed that the upcomingGenshin Impactversion 3.5 will introduce the Pyro claymore user Dehya on the first banner cycle. She will be joined by the Electro polearm user Cyno who will receive his first re-run after being released in 3.1. The Special Program event also confirmed that the second part of the update will feature two Cryo characters, Kamisato Ayaka and Shenhe.

Reddit user RapidFresh has created an interesting chart that shows which five-star characters have missed the highest number of consecutive banners. At the top of the list with 11 skipped updates isthe Cryo claymore character Eulawhose last banner appearance was back in version 2.3 which arrived in November 2021. Despite being a very popular character in the community, HoYoverse keeps delaying Eula’s re-run. Some characters like Arataki Itto, who was released in the second part of 2.3, already had two re-runs in updates 2.7 and 3.2 while Eula is waiting for her first appearance since 2021.
Eula is one of thestrongest DPS characters inGenshin Impactand she still holds the record for the highest damage number ever recorded. Unlike most DPS units, Eula’s kit revolves around dealing Physical damage which makes her a very flexible character that can fit many team compositions. The second character on the list with 6 missed updates is the Pyro catalyst user Klee who was part of the game’s first Limited Character Banner back in 2020.
While she used to be an S-tier DPS character at the time of her first arrival, the releases of newer and much more complex characters have pushed her out of the meta. The third character with the same number of skipped updates isthe Anemo user Kaedehara Kazuhawho is by many considered the strongest Anemo support in the game.
Many players claim that if they could choose one character from the list to add to their roster, it would be Kazuha since he’s a must-have unit in most versions of the Spiral Abyss.Genshin Impactofficially confirmed Baizhuas the only new five-star character in update 3.6 which means that players can expect three re-runs in this update.
Genshin Impactis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
