Hopefully

And hopefully Shenhe and Ganyu come back into existence

None of the liyue five stars entice me tbh lol

Well, Shenhe is a low priority character of mine, but if she comes back in the middle of the Natlan runtime, I'll have to skip her again cause the Natlan characters are peak.

I also like Zhongli and Baizhu but I have them already.

If the next Chronicled banner is Liyue themed, I will probably skip it altogether, but I'm just curious about WHEN will it come back, and Lantern Rite makes sense to me.

When is the lantern rite?

^Probably 5.4

^ Chinese new year. So it's always the patch that takes place in january-february IRL. So far, aside from version 1 as it was shorter and what not, every Lantern Rite took place in versions X.4

Ah ok

Iirc Shenhe isn't even eligible for chronicled because she didn't have 3 reruns yet. Liyue still has enough veteran characters for a chronicled banner though... But that's bad news for me because Xiao will almost certainly be transferred there. I'm never willingly increasing my chance of getting more Keqings, or worse, Ganyu/Hu Tao/Tartaglia. The good news is, Hu Tao is rerunning right now, and Tartaglia isn't even from Liyue. I still consider him a possibility because he hasn't rerun in a while.

Who is shenhe? I don't remember that being a character.

^^ I think Tartaglia is a very real possibility considering he released during the Liyue storyline time frame. And well, he had a bunch of reruns already.

If I ever pull for his cons I would really prefer to wait for a proper rerun if he ever gets more, or for a different Chronicled in the future (maybe a Snezhnaya one once it actually releases). I wouldn't want to risk getting characters like Ganyu for him, and increasing Keqing or Qiqi probabilities is dumb considering the only characters I WANT to lose my 50/50s to are Diluc, Tighnari and Dehya.

Verily hope so. XD
