Recent data from a notable source, Paimon.moe, reveals interesting sales trends between the currently featured five-star characters in Genshin Impact, Ineffa and Citlali.

Ineffa

Ineffa, the newest addition, has surprisingly attracted fewer players compared to Citlali, suggesting that established characters still hold significant appeal. Citlali made up about 55% of banner pulls despite Ineffa being the latest entry, which is contrary to common expectations where new characters generally lead in sales.

Citlali

One of the reasons attributed to this phenomenon may be the timing of Ineffa’s release, occurring just before a significant update that is anticipated to unveil a new region. Many players opted to conserve their Primogems instead of utilizing them on Ineffa’s banner, considering the upcoming opportunities.

Genshin Impact’s Unique Gacha System

Genshin Impact employs a gacha system that allows players to acquire characters through banners featuring a mix of limited five-star and four-star characters. Each update typically showcases new five-star characters, with Ineffa being introduced in Version 5.8.
