Oh. My. Archons. 😱 I just saw the most mind-blowing, unbelievable sales chart for the recent Genshin Impact banners, and I'm still reeling! As a dedicated player who's been grinding since day one, I thought I'd seen it all. But the numbers from that 4.7 phase two banner, the one featuring the Hydro Archon Furina and the new head nurse, Sigewinne, have completely shattered my expectations. The difference isn't just a gap; it's a yawning chasm, a Grand Canyon of revenue! Let me tell you, when that data dropped from the super reliable site Paimon.moe, the entire fandom gasped. Despite all the pre-release hype and excitement swirling around the adorable new five-star Sigewinne, the re-run of Lady Furina absolutely DOMINATED. I'm talking about her being responsible for a staggering, earth-shattering, jaw-on-the-floor 81% of the entire banner's overall revenue! Just let that sink in for a moment. A re-run character, someone we've had the chance to pull for before, utterly eclipsed a brand-new, highly anticipated addition to the roster. It's pure, unadulterated Archon power, and it's glorious to behold.

Now, why did this happen? Why did we all collectively open our wallets for Furina while being a bit more... reserved with Sigewinne? The answer is as clear as the waters of Fontaine: Furina is simply, unequivocally, the best Hydro support in the entire game, even in 2026. She's not just a character; she's a phenomenon. Her story arc? Unforgettable, one of the most emotionally charged journeys Teyvat has ever offered. Her power on the battlefield? Unmatched. When I'm sweating through the final floors of the Spiral Abyss, she's my go-to, my secret weapon, my absolute MVP. Her versatility is her superpower. Just like Zhongli, Raiden, and Nahida before her, Furina can slide into almost any team comp that needs a powerful Hydro presence. Need off-field Hydro application for your hyperbloom team? Furina. Need a massive, team-wide damage buff for your hypercarry? Furina. Need someone who can switch between Ousia and Pneuma forms with a simple Charged Attack? You guessed it—Furina!

  • Combat Mode: I almost exclusively use her Ousia form in battle. The damage and support it provides are just insane.

  • Exploration Mode: When I'm just roaming the beautiful landscapes of Natlan or Chenyu Vale, I swap to her Pneuma form. It's so convenient!

Of course, to truly unlock her god-tier potential, you need her signature weapon, the gorgeous Splendor Of Tranquil Waters. I'll be honest, pulling for a five-star signature weapon is a Primogem black hole. It can devour your savings faster than Paimon devours Sticky Honey Roast! 😭 But here's the beautiful part about our beloved Archon: she's incredibly free-to-play friendly.

Weapon Choice Performance Tier Notes for F2P Players
Splendor Of Tranquil Waters 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (God-Tier) Maxes out her stats, but costs a fortune in wishes.
Wolf-Fang (Battle Pass) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Excellent) A fantastic and accessible option for consistent performance.
Festering Desire (Event) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Great) If you were lucky enough to get it, it's still a top-tier pick!
Favonius Sword 🌟🌟🌟 (Very Good) Perfect for battery support and team energy needs.

Seriously, slapping a Wolf-Fang or the old event weapon Festering Desire on her still turns her into an absolute monster. She doesn't need her signature to be meta-defining, and that's what makes her such a valuable pull for every type of player.

Now, let's not do a disservice to Sigewinne. I pulled for her, and she's a delight! As the head nurse of the Fortress of Meropide, she's a powerful Hydro healer who can actually work really well in the same team as Furina. Imagine the sustainability! But in the harsh economic reality of Genshin Impact banners, she was paired with a literal deity. It was like opening a small, charming bakery next to a world-famous, century-old patisserie. The bakery might have amazing pastries (and Sigewinne's healing bubbles are adorable!), but everyone is lining up around the block for the patisserie's legendary cake.

The hype for Sigewinne's release was real—new character, new mechanics, new lore. But Furina represents proven, undeniable power and flexibility that has stood the test of time. In 2026, with even more complex end-game challenges, having a unit that can adapt and excel is priceless. Players, especially those who missed her first run, saw this banner as a golden, can't-miss opportunity. We weren't just pulling for a character; we were investing in a key that unlocks countless team compositions and makes the toughest content feel manageable. This sales chart isn't just about numbers; it's a testament to player intelligence. We recognize value, we recognize power, and we are willing to pledge our allegiance (and our Primogems) to the Archons who deliver it consistently. The reign of the Hydro Archon is far from over, and this banner proved it in the most spectacular way possible. 💧✨
