Genshin Impact: New Hydro character Yelan breaks revenue records

The 2.7 update of Genshin Impact released just a week ago bid farewell to the extended banner of Kamisato Ayaka as players were ready to move forward with the banner of Yelan and Xiao. While Xiao got his second rerun within a short span of time, the arrival of Hydro character Yelan was the most anticipated thing of the update.

As Yelan looked quite powerful as a Hydro DPS character in addition to an elegant gameplay style, players didn’t think twice to wish on her banner. The 4-star characters on her banner brought three other female 4-star characters making her banner quite beautiful as fans termed it. The following characters are available on her banner-

As per the statistics of Genshin Lab, Yelan banner on her first day of arrival collected a total of $9,490,604 USD revenue which surpassed the sale of Raiden Shogun’s first day revenue by roughly 1 million USD. It is important to note that the revenue depicted here has only taken the data from the Chinese server on iOS devices.

Many fans have however, pointed out that the revenue number might be slightly higher as Yelan has appeared along with the Anemo Yaksha Xiao. Several fans have also wished for Xiao as he became an important character for the Perilous Trail quest. All in all, players were quite satisfied with the first phase banners of Genshin Impact 2.7 update.

Prior to Yelan, Ayaka’s rerun banner also outperformed the lifetime revenue sales accumulated by the Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun. A possible reason for this is her extended banner whereas Yelan’s banner performed good as players were able to save up a lot of primogems in the 2.6 update.
