Zhongli returns to Genshin Impact banner rotation. We will see him in the second phase of Version 4.0 which starts approximately on the 6th of September. The name of the wish associated with Zhongli is called Gentry of Hermitage. In addition to Zhongli, there will be a new 4-star Cryo character Freminet in this wish as well. This banner runs along with the Tartaglia banner Farewell of Snezhnaya this time and that means that these banners share all the rolls. It means that you will have one guaranteed roll for both banners.
Gentry of Hermitage Details
Gentry of Hermitage is the name of the event that returns Zhongli to Genshin Impact as a rollable character. This banner will also introduce a new 4-star Cryo character Freminet. It is an active banner 1 and will have the same 4-star characters roaster as the active banner 2, which is Farewell of Snezhnaya. So Genshin Impact Zhongli Banner Rerun starts approximately on September 6, 2023, and will end approximately on September 26, 2023. You can expect to see more characters in wish and here is the list of other details.
Gentry of Hermitage Details wish will contain:
- 5-star promotional character:
- “Scarlet Leaves Pursue Wild Waves” Zhongli (Geo)
- 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, the 4-star characters will be available in the standard wish “Wanderlust Invocation” from that on. But Zhongli will be closed and you will need to wait until the next time when he appears in the promotional banner.
Zhongli drop-rate
If you want to get Zhongli you need to get a decent amount of Intertwined Fate (special wishes for events). And use them on banner event wishes when the Zhongli banner is active to roll it. Almost everything depends on your luck, but still, there are guaranteed chances to drop Zhongli 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 Zhongli fast!
