Who Will be Added to the Standard Banner in Genshin Impact?

Seeing as Tighnari is going to be added to Genshin Impacts standard banner, "Wanderlust Invocation," I wanted to find out if Genshin can add other 5-stars to it, and if so, who deserves to get added?

I think they should try make banners for the region specific characters(maybe same for their weapons) like one for monsthads characters,one for liyue characters and etc and maybe lock all them except monsthad first incase they couldn't get their accession materials and to unlock those banner you just need to unlock one the statue of the seven in their respected region

I personally think there could potentially be one more 5 star added to the standard after tighnari and it will be a completely new character. so far the standard banner has a 5 star for every element minus dendro and geo. tighnari will obviously fill that vacant spot for dendro when he’s released which leaves geo as the only element not having a 5 star on the standard. so IF they were to add another 5 star character i think it would be a brand new geo wielder but i doubt they would be adding any more after that and this is if hoyoverse decide to add another at all

[@kylesmith987]

Its definitely interesting that the standard banner does not have a GEO 5 star. I personally think this is because Ningguang was originally supposed to be the 5 star Geo character and for some reason they moved her to 4 star. This is just speculation but there is some data to back the idea that Ningguang was originally designed as a 5 star.

[@TheCheeseman1983]

I feel like we’re ignoring the most important criterion here: what would motivate HoYo to add an existing limited character to the standard banner? Obviously, Tignari was added because he’s the first dendro character, and they want to provide permanent access to that element. However, we can’t really make a list of viable candidates without first knowing what purpose they are intended to serve.

[@spiderninja_1]

I remember seeing a concept of regional-based banners. Not in terms of a character being put in a certain banner based on their home region, but based on where that character’s ascension material is located. So, for example, Shenhe would be put into an Inazuma-based standard banner instead of Liyue since her ascension material is in Enkanomiya. Same with Ganyu being put in Mondstadt’s banner, or Albedo being put in Liyue’s banner. It’s a good way for players to be able to pull for characters based on areas they’ve already unlocked, especially in the case of Inazuma, where the region is locked behind a quest and AR rank.

Not to mention Fischl is a pretty easy 4 star grab who’s whole thing is off field electro application. Sure sometimes the gacha gods can screw you over, but most people should get at least her c0 early on (my own kryptonite is Bennett who I only have at c1 at AR 57).

[@emopeterparker7]

i think its bc lisa, while obv a viable support for eula, only applies off field support via her burst which would need charging. and for fischl, perhaps its because shes more of single target and eula is more of aoe so theyre not a good fit? (assuming eula is aoe bc of her burst and claymore playstyle , let me know if this is wrong as i dont have nor know how to play eula much)

[@PineappleLiar]

@@emopeterparker7 Eula can certainly do aoe damage, but I’d probably describe her as a more single target nuke who just happens to do damage to nearby enemies who get caught in the blast radius. The way her burst works doesn’t really synergize with other units who specialize in grouping enemies, and can only really reliably get the first hit of her burst onto a large group before they spread out again (which is fair, given that Eula’s final burst hit would be stupid if it could be consistently applied to like 10 enemies at once). For comparison Hu Tao’s Q and E hit hard almost as soon as she hits the field, so I consider her more of a group damage dealer just because she can better take advantage of Kazuha/Venti’s enemy grouping. Before Raiden, Fishcl was a pretty good pick for Eula teams, though yeah the problem of Oz targeting the wrong enemy was still there. Raiden is unquestionably a better option, but has the obvious downside of not exactly being F2P viable.

Since the current Anemo 5 star list is limited and also on a higher tier than other elements, I feel like Anemo would be left out of the second Standard banner if one were to be made, giving them time to enlarge the Anemo 5 star list.

Klee should probably get priority just because for new players (the ones with the most standard wishes) she isn’t Inazuma-locked like Yoimiya in terms of ascension materials. I also just feel like she’s a pretty great early game character, even if her damage output becomes sub-optimal at higher levels. Also all new players get a pyro bow at the very start with Amber, so type-weapon variations in the early game would work better.

I mean, they could always bring them to unique banners, as they did with Keqing. Imagine for example that for events related to festivities of a region the could bring several character banners that includes the ones that are already part of the standard banner. There are gacha games with fewer characters that release special "cards" near the birthday of certain characters. So they could also add a "Birthday Wish Banner", with a character being in a special banner a week before their birthday. They have endless ideas, but you know, greedy and money gets in the middle

First of all, I think your picks for a second permanent banner are pretty solid. I think just adding more Limited Banners per update is the way to go. So long as reruns occur more often than once a year, I would prefer that to having more than 7 characters that are extremely unlikely to get their own banner in the future. Keqing already set a precedent of that one Standard Banner character that never got her own banner after the first. Praying my lost 50:50 lands on Qiqi or Jean is already hard enough with 5 options, imagine there being 14 once there are 2 standard banners with 7 characters each. Now imagine there being a third or fourth standard banner. Imagine wanting to C6 a standard banner character. It would take either extreme luck or extreme whaling to do that.

[@silverhawkscape2677]

The easiest Answer is Legality. Specifically Chinese laws on Advertising something as Limited time in Gacha, only to make it part of the Permanent banner.

@@infiniteaj8688 When you look at Honkai battle-suits in the fine print, it doesn’t say they’re limited. “Limited time” rate up is different from “limited character” which says “will not be added to ‘standard’ banner”. If you look at FGO, Evertale, Black Surge Night, etc, it defines limited character as “this character will not be added to standard banner” in their fine print. FGO added Tamamo to standard banner months after her debut in Halloween because it never said she was a limited character for example.

Its still weird how there no geo 5* on standard

what a great video! the narration, editing and music is good! keep going

[@ChandlerNWilson]

This was super interesting! Thanks for sharing. :') I think as time goes on, it would make sense for them to add another banner. To be honest, it even makes sense from a financial perspective. I believe players would be more likely to spend money for those kinds of fates (presumably acquaint fates) which they likely haven't been buying as of late.

[@socktoast636]

Even without new characters, Mihoyo should definitely add some sort of epitomised path to the standard banner. There's a 1 in 15 chance to get what you want and that chance will be even slimmer if new characters are added

[@sabsain2399]

I'm only a minute into the video but I just wanted to mention how good and genuine your content is and the work you put in it pays off

[@Ryo-jb4zn]

Imagine if they added xiao to the standard banner, seems really unlikely tbh By that logic they would be adding hu tao and ganyu as well I mean it wouldn't make sense if the standard banner had stronger characters than most limited banners, unless it's just because they're older. In that case maybe eula and klee should be added first

[@mistyseas]

Yeah i'm fine with the other characters but at least for me I'd rather have some other character placed in the standard banner than Xiao

honestly I love the 2nd standard banner you made, you put together strong characters of all different elements and weapons but also loveable characters! also I main xiao but only have him at c1 right now and it would be lot easier to c6 him if his banner wasnt limited as well as getting cons for my yae and yoimiya :)

[@veeistiredasf]

i'm sad archons won't probably get added 😭my raiden is doomed to be c1 for an eternity now, but i seriously hope characters like tartag or xiao get added cause they have good cons and it would at least make spending blue fates more exciting

[@Ryo-jb4zn]

It's extremely unlikely, but if xiao gets added then the older charcaters like him will most likely be added as well, especially ganyu and hu tao. That would indeed make the standard banner much better.

No way they wil add old character to standard banner, maybe create some new character but not too op into standard banner, that is what i think.

[@chrrstiannnn]

I think having two standard banners would not be a good idea unless they're accessible on the limited banner if you lose the 50/50. But I think adding the Epitomized Path on the Standard Banner would be the best option. Also if they were to add anyone on the standard banner I feel like it should be a newer character and not one that's had a few reruns at least not until the later versions of the game.

[@karmajay8540]

great video!

[@lorne-san6738]

I will want to pull on the 2nd wanderlust invocation that you made cuz really, i want all of the characters including baizhu because while i have xiao, albedo, and yae (all c0) already and was saving for childe rerun, these characters are actually pretty neat and if you build them right, they can be serious damage dealer that doesnt need constellation that much to perform well but acquiring their cons would also make a very good booster especially xiao

[@shindig5974]

thank you so much for making this video, ive seen so much misinformation on the "legality" and other such problems adressed in the video that you cleared up quite nicely, i agree with everything you said. i also think they could add extra banners as you discribed. awsome vid with interesting topics, love these man keep em coming!!!

[@fuuko7376]

Well, I don't think it will be fair for ones who spent money to get them for them to be added into Standard Banner. One of the reasons why some, especially low spenders, top-up to get them/their cons is because they are limited event exclusive, who knows how long till they get another re-run. Those who spent money on the recent re-runs will surely be upset? Though, if there is a possibility, I think it will need an announcement long before it's implemented. Like at least one or two years before. Even so there might still be backlash. Imo it's better to create and add new characters in

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

Just amazing!!!

[@aweckzs]

love this idea, i dont think we'll get this for a WHILE, but would be nice ;v;

[@kasuha]

The odd one out on your alternate banner is Yae Miko. Everyone else is still Mondstadt/Liyue character. My personal opinion is, they might want to make standard banner for each area. I.e. Mondstadt banner, Liyue banner, Inazuma banner, Sumeru banner, etc. Not necessarily filled with 5-stars of each element or weapon type but rather giving you the choice depending on how far in the game did you get so far. Seriously, less 5-stars on the banner coming with higher chance to get either of them would count as an improvement.

I remember hearing a while ago that after a limited 5 star has had 3 reruns they would be added to the standard banner but that was a while ago and I completely forgot where I heard it but just wanted to point this idea out lol.

[@Efrostling]

I would like to see (this is without much thought so there may be loop holes etc) but a banner that resets every month, 4 months or version? idk which would be best? where 5*s are put on the banner for the duration until the banner resets.

[@lordofshibainus]

Personally, I think characters like Klee, Childe, and Albedo should go to a standard banner given they’re quite old but they’re great for starting players since they’ll be able to get their materials and boss quite easily. Plus their passives are super helpful early game given a lot of 4 stars have expedition talents.

[@Simmlex]

I don't think adding already limited characters to the standard banner is a good idea. People saved and whaled for those limited characters and putting them in the standard banner would devalue them greatly and make the efforts of the people who saved for them and skipped other characters for them be in vain. The way they handle Tighnari is the correct approach. When they make new characters, they should just add some to the standard like Tighnari. Or make new character directly for the standard banner. Adding older already limited characters there is both a terrible and a great way to piss off fans enough so they start to protest. At the very least I know I'd be extremely furious of the characters I saved and skipped for would now just be common stuff that can spook me. Because then why the hell did I skip other characters for them then?

[@rororo69]

I don't think putting limited characters on the standard banner would devalue them, since Genshin isn't really a multiplayer game. There's not even any PvP, which makes comparing your account and characters to others pretty useless. If anything, it would be great for F2Ps or low spenders to not have to worry about saving primos within a time limit for these characters if they want them, and it would give them a chance to gain constellations for the ones they have, which F2Ps most likely don't.

[@Simmlex]

@@rororo69 I actually see your point and I don't exactly meant monetary value, although if you ever want to sell you account, that too, but what I mean, it'd make the efford and dedication of old players who were there and saved for those banners cheaper. It's good and all to think of newcomers but, I don't think cateing to enwcomers soly is a good idea. because old players want to feel like their sweat and deciation to the game also means something in the long run.

[@nilou1841]

​@@rororo69 then, if like that, its better off for me to not pull the limited banner and just save save save save until they change the old limited into the standard ones, no? Once players realize this pattern, i believe numerous people will feel less important to pull the limited banner just because "oh eventually the limited ones will go into the standard ones" like what a large sum of people think when Mihoyo said Tighnari will be relocated to the standard. its like you're advertising the registration fee perhaps 25$, then only by the time the program starts, you reduced it to 5$ and the one who paid earlier can't get their refunds. i am at ar56 and until now, i dont have mona and qiqi. Getting a 5 star in the standard took months and months and what, you get just a skyward pride? Yes, sure you can add more but do announce it prior like Tighnari. And your point of f2p dont have to worry about etc etc, if i think this in a long run, people wont be logging into genshin as much as they do rn, which ofc affects the developer's side as well since their monthly active players are reducing slowly. Which is why putting a time limit motivates players to log in and grind. idk these are my two cents.

[@blackbun130]

@@nilou1841 that's heavily flawed logic, that people will just save and pull when they're on standard. Growing the standard pool is important as a standard for all gacha games. At that point, since standard banners are a free for all, it becomes even LESS likely to get the characters you want without a rate up. Literally all popular gacha games in existence do this and they still thrive, because their standard pools are so large that people greatly value rate ups as well anyway. Honkai did this exact thing of adding limited characters to standard after a year or two and it didn't make any of those characters less desirable or of value when they get rate ups again. The concept of paying for early access that only affects you and no one else is not new at all. This is something that occurs in other services too, but no one complains once that service is made available later on?? This really shouldn't be as bewildering as you people make it out to be.

[@destiney6013]

I like this idea! I think it would also be cool to have a five star rate up banner for every region after two new regions come out. For example since sumeru is coming out, there should be a liyue five star banner rate up!

[@Brownyan]

1:42 i remember they did a similar thing on khux where they made banners with no mercy (having gone years without doing no mercy bannners) and after huge backlash they removed the banners and replaced them with a 10 (10 pull) mercy, with it getting cheaper every time to 1900 jewels from 3000. Everyone who pulled kept their medals and got their jewels back. I was one of those players. And I got the medal too.

Several games played limited FOMO card & put the characters into standard banner, cough "false advertisement" lawsuits. That got immediately regulated by the JP & CN governments.

[@defour7649]

Haha I disagree kindly with your opinion Mr KZbinr. If this were to be implemented before the 3rd anniversary, I still don't think a second Wanderlust would get any Inazuma characters. Overall I agree with Tartaglia, Albedo and Xiao. But there is no way Yoimiya will claim Klee's spot, and I say this as someone who owns both, enjoys both but finds Yoimiya more fun. Klee's constellations are super valuable and should be allowed to be passively earned, and also Hoyo's marketing team as you discussed isn't very fond of Ms Naganohara, also no one will pull on a 4th Klee banner, where I see many pulling on a Yoimiya banner. Also Yoimiya is way too new and even in 5 years from now, Klee is still the more attractive option. Electro... Yea I think we omit electro, there's no need for 7 characters when the first standard is only gonna have 6. Also saying this as someone who finds Yae actually fun but doesn't own her personally. Cryo is a dilemma because they're all so pullable. But I would pick Ganyu over Eula, even though I own Eula and she is my second most played character (behind Hu Tao) and I don't own Ganyu (even though I effing love her). But Eula feels so outta place on a standard banner because she doesn't represent Cryo. Ganyu to me is Cryo, and Ayaka too new, Shenhe wouldn't even make sense. But yea so my banner tldr is Albedo, Ganyu, Xiao, Klee, Tartaglia, and I forgot to say that we should just have the next dendron character that isn't the archon.

[@fizzyjam]

i would pick shenhe or ganyu yeah

[@QuackEasy]

I think Shenhe would make sense. It could lead to a new player being encouraged to pull for a Cyro dps.

[@yousufaltameemi6502]

Ye but the issue with Ganyu is that she’s too strong to be added. Her kit provides simplistic dmg that’s attainable at lower investment and that’s too strong for a standard character. and even tho childe faces this issue too it balances out with certain skill cost as well as higher necessary investment. As for Eula. I would argue that her disposition as a high skill requirement character as well as her RNG aspect balance it out until later cons, also I would believe that Eula being physical would be a unique trait that incentivises her addiction as we don’t get many of those.

[@Rapiers-and-flowers]

Ganyu's way too valuable to even be in the standard so you'd have to think of someone else

[@Junee1]

This was a great video. I think that there are 2 extra factors worth considering: ease of use, and role diversity. As it stands the hardest character to use in the standard banner is Mona but in this new banner you get Childe which is arguably the hardest character in the whole game. On top of that the current banner has 2 main dps, 2 healers, and a sub dps. Compare that to this banner which has 4 main dps, and 2 sub dps. If you’re new to the game healing is more valuable as your skill level isn’t high yet and you have less damage overall so a 5* healer could prove to be more valuable in the short term especially when you consider the free options are Barbara and Noelle.

[@celestabelleabethabelle7551]

[@Xaonn]

they still can't do that. First your point of wanderlust being a standard banner doesn't make sense since in the description it clearly says THE standard banner, second you blatantly ignored the fact that the description still said the character is event limited, they cannot stop being event limited aka permanent.

[@arushiiru]

If they add not just Tighnari I hope they make the OG 5stars redeemable from Stardust at least. I want my first of copy of Jean.

[@ZanathKariashi]

yeah, IMO they should add Chongyun and Sucrose to the normal rotation (the only beginner-banner/tutorial 4*'s who aren't in the rotation), and add a third slot for 1 Standard 5* that just cycles through the list each month for 100 Star-glitter.

[@queenashfire2318]

If they were to make more standard banner they should definitely place a optimized path feature like the weapon weapon along with the original standard banner

[@symartin45]

I think the first event banners that were rerun twice or more will be add to the Standard Banner. like Venti, Klee, Tartaglia, Zhongli, Xiao, Ganyu etc. And don't forget about the weapons like Summit Shaper, Vortex Vanquisher, The Unforged, Memory of Dust.

[@meekumanu]

I think Albedo basically belongs on the Standard Banner at this point. It needs a Geo 5* to round out the elements, he appears early in the story in Dragonspine, he's about on the same power level as Mona and Jean and is from Mondstadt so he wouldn't be too hard to build for new players.

[@bluefenneris9009]

at this point albedo is more of a seasonal character appearing every december and giving you a free sword (so basically santa lol)

[@Moon1tan]

Honestly I was expecting that we'd have one of each element and from each region in terms of 4stars and 5stars as permanent characters So I was expecting maybe like 1 new standard 5star from each region, but that didn't happen when Inazuma finally came out after a year of waiting, but! It finally happened with tighnari, I hope they add more standard 5stars because having most of them being limited can be really annoying if you miss out on one then have to wait for a rerun

I've said it a few times, but I believe that updating the standard banner or giving players a second standard banner would be beneficial. The roster of 5 stars could be the 1.0 to 1.6 limited banner characters, as some were originally released up to nearly 2 years ago. Considering that there are also version 2 (2.0 to 2.8) characters who've only had 1 run, additional reruns could be helpful. Your list was very insightful though, with keeping chase characters still chase (archons and powerful units). I like it.

What they can do is something like honkai where you get to select the 5* that you want . If I remember correctly it was on the weapon banner and you can select 4 5* out of the other standard items in the banner . Doing this might break the game as you can just select the best character available but maybe they can add a cool down of some sorts where you can't get the selected five stars untill a month passes or after getting another 5 star

What are ur thoughts on Region Banners? You must likely be reruns but one per region

[@powguma]

Good speculation on the Wanderlust Invocation not being the only standard banner. But there's a potential problem that no one's going to roll on the Wanderlust Invocation 1. I can already imagine youtubers stating the obvious and bashing the first banner, like "DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR PRIMOGEMS!" as if it's a life or death situation and also bash on the characters on the banner. This may not be a huge problem, but I believe Hoyoverse's business strategy is making every single character marketable and never outdated. So I think they will buff the first standard banners more before the 2nd one is available. Because, even though RedFlaim tried to make the 2nd one not too OP, it's still a whole lot better than the first one. So I think they will buff the first one with either a really strong yet-unseen 7th character (it looks Tighnari is already a step in this direction, he may be really strong) or flat-out buff the old characters and weapons on the first one.

If Character Event Wish-2 was out right when the game was released, then the standard banner 5 stars could have gotten they own rate up banners between Version 1.0 and 1.3.

[@ChaosFlute]

Ahhh, I appreciate your take on the fine print. Creating a new, second standard banner is a way around their wording that I hadn't considered or heard suggested before. It's also possible that the new standard banner will not have full elemental coverage in its five-star roster, like the current one. All I can say is they probably would choose to drop a different element than geo if they went that route. Also I really don't see the problem with adding formerly limited characters, morally speaking. What you were paying for was to have the Shiny New Thing. Other people having a chance to get it later takes nothing away from the time you got to enjoy having the Shiny New Thing when others couldn't. But I frown on unnecessary artificial scarcity in general anyway. I'm still constantly advocating in surveys for them to make old event weapons and so on available to new players in some way.

[@Invizable99]

The more characters they put in standard banner the harder to get the one you want, I got Tignari now because I want him now and he's C2 , I'm not worried about, I may never get another copy and maybe I will get c6 but by that time it won't matter, I'm already using dendro bow for puzzles and way better quality of life.
