New characters inGenshin Impactare always nice to have, though reruns of existing characters are also much appreciated, whether it be another chance to get the character for any players who missed them, or a chance to get more character Constellation upgrades and/or weapon refinements. UntilGenshin Impactreaches the point where new and improved methods for obtaining limited-time characters arguably become a necessity, the Event Wish Banner is still a great opportunity for unlocking characters.
Considering that some characters have gone over a year without a rerun, bringing this trend to an end inGenshin Impact’s future updateswould surely be a welcome change. Between characters who haven’t received a rerun in a while and general meta characters, a handful of notable characters are more than deserving of a rerun in the Event Wish Banners at this point and throughout the new year inGenshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Can Address the Character Rerun Waiting List in 2025
By now inGenshin Impact’s lifecycle, changes that could make limited-time characters more easily available are becoming increasingly popular requests among fans, such as adding more characters to the Standard Wish Banners and Paimon’s Bargains shop or adding athird Event Wish Banner inGenshin Impact. Until big changes like this come to the game – hopefully sooner rather than later – having certain fan-favorite characters rerun in the Event Wish Banner could potentially hold fans over.
Naturally, a rerun wish list wouldn’t be complete without a special mention of the characters at the far end ofGenshin Impact’s rerun waiting list, both four-star and five-star characters. Regardless of how these characters fit into the current meta, it’s unfortunate that some of them have gone over a full year without a rerun, so it should arguably be a high priority for HoYoverse to consider this waiting list for future event Wish Banners after the upcoming 5.4 update.
Genshin Impact Reruns Can Avoid Another Cryo Drought in 2025
Throughout 2024, there was a drought of Cryo characters inGenshin Impact, with few new Cryo characters released and few Cryo character reruns featured in the Event Wish Banner. While this situation has already gotten much better after plenty of four-star and five-star Cryo characters appeared in recent Wish Banners,Genshin Impactcan prevent another Cryo drought by featuring Cryo character reruns more frequently throughout 2025. Especially considering that some of these characters are already onGenshin Impact’s character rerun waiting list, they are more than deserving of reruns throughout the new year.
Rerunning more Cryo characters throughout 2025 could be a sweet treat afterGenshin Impact’s recent Elemental Reaction buffsto Shatter and Superconduct Cryo Reactions in the version 5.2 update.
Genshin Impact’s Event Wish Banners Can Spotlight Meta Character Reruns in 2025
Even though some of these characters have featured recently in the Wish Banners, these are generally considered some of the best,meta characters inGenshin Impactfor their respective roles as DPS or support characters. Overall, these characters can be notable additions to any player’s roster, especially for newer players who don’t have as many options for team compositions for endgame content like the Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater. Hence, having them rerun at least one more time throughout the year could give players another opportunity to finally unlock the character, or to obtain some character Constellation upgrades and/or weapon refinements for their signature weapons.
