Shenhe returns to Genshin Impact as a rollable character in Version 3.5 part two on the 22nd of March 2023. The name of the wish associated with Shenhe is called The Transcendent One Returns it will also bring a new 4-star Cryo character to the game Mika. This banner runs along with Ayaka banner The Heron’s Court this time and that means that these banners share all the rolls. It means that you will have one guaranteed roll for both banners.
The Transcendent One Returns Details
The Transcendent One Returns is the name of the banner that brings Shenhe back as a playable character in Genshin Impact. So Genshin Impact Shenhe Banner Rerun starts on March 22, 2023, and will end on April 12, 2023. You can expect to see more champions in wish and here is the list of other details. In addition, this banner will run alongside with The Heron’s Court banner that brings Kamisato Ayaka rerun.
Discerner of Enigmas wish will contain:
- 5-star promotional character:
- “Lonesome Transcendence” Shenhe (Cryo)
- 4-start featured characters:
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, all 4-star characters will be available in the standard wish “Wanderlust Invocation” with the normal drop rate. But Shenhe will be closed and you will need to wait until the next time when she appears in the promotional banner.
Shenhe drop-rate
If you want to get Shenhe you need to get a decent amount of Intertwined Fate (special wishes for events). And use them on banner event wishes when the Shenhe banner is active to roll it. Almost everything depends on your luck, but still, there are guaranteed chances to drop Shenhe anyway. Let’s start from drop-rate first.
Item | Base Rate | Average Rate including Pity |
---|---|---|
5★ Character | 0.6% | 1.6% |
4★ Character or Weapon | 5.1% | 13% |
3★ Weapon | 94.3% | 85.4% |
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 characters 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 Shenhe fast!
