AGenshin Impactrevenue chart shows that Raiden Shogun’s and Ayato’s double banner sales are much better than expected. They are both part of the new Limited Character Banner that arrived on December 27 as part of the second banner cycle. As the game’s playable roster keeps expanding almost every month, developer HoYoverse has introduced an interesting trend of releasing two double banners in every update.
Genshin Impact’s double banner mechanic allows players to pull for two limited five-star characters at the same time. Players who want to acquire Raiden Shogun or Kamisato Ayato have a couple of weeks to do so as their banner is officially scheduled to expire on July 02, 2025.

Reddit user Norinoku has shared a chart that shows how well the current double banner did in its first four days when it comes to revenue. According to the post, Raiden Shogun and Ayato are currently placed in the second spot with $19,480,695, but it should be noted that these numbers only represent iOS devices from the Chinese server. Many fans are surprised by these numbers considering thatGenshin Impact’s first-day revenue reportsshowed that the two characters barely made it into the top 20 on the list. There is a chance that this double banner overtakes Nahida and Yoimiya, especially considering that it will run for a couple of days more since update 3.1 was shorter than usual.
Raiden Shogun is placed in three out of the top 4 banners in the list which is another proof that she is themost popular Archon inGenshin Impact. She is by many considered the strongest character in the game due to her ability to excel in multiple roles within a team composition. One of her greatest assets is the fact that she is a very free-to-play friendly character who performs well even without any upgraded constellation levels.
However, players who want to use her as the main DPS should try to acquire her first three constellations. Recent Spiral Abyss data has revealed thatRaiden Shogun is part of the most used team compositionfor the 12th floor of the current Abyss. The Raiden National party consists of three four-star characters, Bennett, Xingqiu, and Xiangling, and the Electro Archon who serves as the main DPS.
While Raiden Shogun did most of the heavy lifting when it comes to sales, the second character on the banner, Kamisato Ayato, probably also attracted a decent amount of sales, especially considering that is his first re-run.Ayato is also a great DPS characterwho can also fit the sub-DPS role due to his potential to constantly apply Hydro damage.
Genshin Impactis available on mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5 with a Switch version also in development.
