Mihoyo has announced the next banner character for the online action-RPG Genshin Impact which is Hu Tao.
Genshin Impact Next Banner Announced Hu Tao
Hu Tao will be the next character coming to Genshin Impact on March 2nd at 18:00 according to server time. Hu Tao’s banner will last until March 16th 14:59. The banner joins version 1.3. of the All That Glitters event.
Hu Tao joins the Moment of Blood banner as the featured five star character, as per usual there will be also boosted four star drop rates, this time for Xiangling, Xingqui and Chonyun.
Both Xingqui and Chonyun have been featured in previous banners before, and Xiangling is part of the four star free characters available to choose currently (once you’ve completed the requirements). But those who are after the fiery Hu Tao might think this banner is worth their while. If you are planning on wishing for Hu Tao be sure to take part in the current Ley Line event, as you can get double the leveling mats needed or mora from Ley Lines, with a maximum 3 per day.
