Genshin Impact Dehya and Cyno banners worked as expected. Looking at their low overall sales estimates for the first half of the anime game’s version 3.5 update, it seems that neither of them turned out to be favorites among fans. It’s the expected result, given that Dehya fans have started a hashtag #FixDehya to spread the word about how disappointing it is for a five-star character.
So far, HoYoverse hasn’t made any significant adjustments to Dehya’s kit amid fan uproar. Players had a similar reaction when Zhongli was introduced as the first five-star Geo character. The community found it lacking a lot until HoYoverse decided to improve it shortly after its release.
That time has not yet come for Dehya, and there is a chance it never will. Therefore, fans have spent much less on it than other recent five-star banners. It also doesn’t help that Cyno isn’t the most popular character to please anyone – he’s solid in his role, but most people who wanted him probably rooted for him when he first cast. .
Dehya and Cyno’s numbers below are in stark contrast to recent Hu Tao and Yelan reruns, where players were even aiming to get both characters with their foreground weapons. And that’s not to say that some were even trying to push Yelan all the way to C6.
The figures above come from GenshinLab, a site that uses data from the Chinese App Store to make sales estimates for this large part of the RPG community.
Dehya and Cyno managed to earn around 12,934,126 USD (10,566,534 GBP), almost four times less than what Hu Tao and Yelan have at the top of the chart.
With the replacement of Dehya and Cyno, Genshin Impact version 3.5 now features the Cryo trio of Ayaka, Shenhe, and Mika in its second half banners.
