Genshin Impact Nilou Banner Release Date October 2022

Nilou is a new character in Genshin Impact. We will see her in Version 3.1 part two on the 14th of October. The name of the wish associated with Nilou is called Twirling Lotus. In addition to Nilou, there will be a rotation of already released 4-star characters. This banner runs along with the Albedo banner Secretum Secretorum this time and that means that these banners share all the rolls. It means that you will have one guaranteed roll for both banners.

Twirling Lotus Details

Twirling Lotus is the event’s name that brings Nilou to Genshin Impact as a rollable character. It is an active banner 1 and will have the same 4-star characters roaster as the active banner 2, which is Secretum Secretorum. So Genshin Impact Nilou Banner starts on October 14, 2022, and will end approximately on October 31, 2022. You can expect to see more characters in wish and here is the list of other details.

Twirling Lotus Details wish will contain:

• 5-star promotional character:
  • “Dance of Lotuslight” Nilou (Hydro)
• 4-start featured characters:
  • “Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean” Beidou (Electro)
  • “Shining Idol” Barbara (Hydro)
  • “Exquisite Delicacy” Xiangling (Pyro)

Please, note that these champions will not be available in the “Wanderlust Invocation” standard wish. Also, the promotional characters will get a huge drop rate, which we describe below. After this event wish ends, the 4-star characters will be available in the standard wish “Wanderlust Invocation” from that on. But Nilou will be closed and you will need to wait until he appears in the promotional banner the next time.

Nilou drop-rate

If you want to get Nilou you need to get a decent amount of Intertwined Fate (special wishes for events). And use them on banner event wishes when the Nilou banner is active to roll it. Almost everything depends on your luck, but still, there are guaranteed chances to drop Kokomi anyway. Let’s start with the drop-rate first.

In the table above you can see the chances of obtaining characters from wishes. But during the event rules are a bit different. Below you can see the guarantees for character drop-rates:

• 4★ drop guarantee: If a player does not win any 4★ or above item after 9 pulls, then the 10th pull is guaranteed to be a 4★ or higher item.
  • This counter will reset if the player pulls any 4★ or above item.
• Featured 4★ character guarantee: Every time a player wins a 4★ item, there is a 50% chance it will be one of the featured 4★ characters.
  • If the 4★ item won is not one of the featured characters, the next 4★ item won is guaranteed to be one of the featured characters.
  • Thus it requires a maximum of 20 pulls to win a featured banner character.

• 5★ drop guarantee: If a player does not win any 5★ item after 89 pulls, the 90th pull is guaranteed to be a 5★ item.
  • This counter will reset if the player pulls any 5★ item.
  • Promotional character banners do not contain 5★ weapons in their item pool.
• Promotional 5★ character guarantee: Every time a player wins a 5★ item, there is a 50% chance it will be the promotional 5★ character.
  • If the 5★ item won is not the promotional character, the next 5★ item won is guaranteed to be the promotional character.
  • Thus it requires a maximum of 180 pulls to win the promotional banner character.

Also, keep in mind that all event rules save until the next banner. So if you spend 89 wishes during the current event the first wish during the next banner will be counted as 90th and will give its guarantees. We hope that you all get lucky and get Nilou fast!
