Genshin Impact’s 5-Star Waiting List Exposes Unfair Event Banner Rotations
According to my sources, a shocking chart compiled by RapidFresh has been making waves in the Genshin Impact community. The chart reveals a staggering number of days since some of the game’s most beloved characters have last appeared on Event Banners, sparking heated debates about fairness and game design.
The Waiting Game: A Stark Reality
Shenhe and Ganyu, two of Genshin Impact’s most iconic 5-Star characters, have been absent for over 500 days. This revelation has left many players questioning the game’s commitment to providing a fair and exciting experience for all.

Top 5 Characters with Longest Wait Times
- Shenhe: 523 days
- Ganyu: 517 days
- Wriothesley: 246 days
- Neuvillette: 194 days

Rumors of a New Banner Format
Rumor has it that HoYoverse is considering introducing a new banner format, possibly inspired by Honkai: Star Rail’s triple banner system. This could be the solution to the current problem, but it remains to be seen how and when the developers will take another stab at addressing the issues with the Event Banners.
A Call to Action
As one Twitter user (@GenshinLeaks) pointed out, “It’s time for HoYoverse to take a closer look at the banner format and consider making changes to ensure a more fair and exciting experience for all players.”
The Genshin Impact community is abuzz with excitement and frustration. While the game’s developers continue to push out new content, the Event Banner rotations remain a contentious issue.
