It is well known that the archons are often very powerful in Genshin Impact, although Zhongli had lagged a bit before his rework, he is now one of the game changer units, which we very often come across in players’ teams.
Nahida did it miss the mark or manage to climb into the top of the most profitable units for Mihoyo ?
A new record for the little Archon?
As with each addition of banner in Genshin Impact, the best indicator of a character’s popularity is to look at how much was spent by the community to get it. Again, the numbers don’t lie. Nahida is a titanic success for Mihoyo. The small support dendro managed to take, with Yoimiya in the same banner the first place in the ranking of units that have generated the most money since the game was released. The stats shared by GenshinLab identify the revenues generated by the Chinese market on iOS and are a very good indicator, having proven themselves for a long time.
More incredible than its figures, it is the gap between Nahida’s income and that of iconic and highly prized units like Raiden Shogun who shock. Where Raiden had generated $3 million when it comes out, Nahida generated more than 5 million in just one day. Certainly Raiden was alone where Nahida is accompanied by Yoimiya, but it would be surprising if the pyro archer was enough to tip the scales so strongly on her own.
The reasons of this success ?
It is enough logic that Nahida has had some success, players are now used to archons being units very strong and which sometimes strongly change the usual gameplays. However Nahida also arrives just after the appearance of a new item, and is the first character to push this mechanic even further dendro. His position of support at strong dendro app is also a very important element in explaining its success. We can already imagine many teams integrating it and using it to completely change the game of elementary reactions.
