This took me out of my 2024 retirement 👀

Oh my gosh, you guys! When I heard the news about the Wriothesley 5.4 Rerun, I swear I jumped out of my chair! It truly felt like I came out of my 2024 retirement just for this. For those wondering, 'how many reruns has Wriothesley had?', let's dive into it because this latest 5.4 banner is actually his first official rerun since his initial release! I know, right? It feels like ages, but that's how Genshin Impact banners roll sometimes. Wriothesley, often affectionately called WRIO THEE STALLION by the community (and me!), first debuted in Version 4.1 in October 2023. He was part of the 'Ode to the Dawn Star' banner, sharing the spotlight with Neuvillette. So, if you count his initial release as his first appearance, then the 5.4 rerun makes this his second banner overall. This is fantastic news for anyone who missed him the first time around or, like me, is desperate to get his constellations! I remember pulling for him during his initial run, and I loved his unique Cryo Catalyst playstyle. But I didn't manage to get all the constellations I wanted. So, when I saw the announcement for the 5.4 rerun, my immediate thought was, 'FINALLY!!! Need his cons so badly!' It's always a tough decision in Genshin: save for new characters or go for constellations on favorites? For me, Wriothesley is definitely a favorite, and improving his kit with his constellations would be a game-changer for my Abyss teams. Character reruns are such a crucial part of the Genshin Impact experience. They give players a second (or third, or fourth!) chance to acquire limited 5-star characters and their signature weapons. HoYoverse usually follows a pattern, but it's never set in stone, which makes every rerun announcement super exciting. Typically, popular characters might rerun every 6-12 months, but it varies wildly. For Wriothesley, waiting from version 4.1 to 5.4 felt like an eternity, but it also gave me more time to save up my Primogems! If you're planning to pull for Wriothesley in this 5.4 rerun, here are a few tips from my own experience. First, make sure you've pre-farmed his ascension and talent materials. Nothing's worse than getting a new character and not being able to level them up immediately! His materials include Tourbillon Device (from the Experimental Field Generator), Subdetection Units (found in Fontaine), and Transoceanic Pearls/Chunks/Eyes (from Fontemer Aberrants). For talents, you'll need "Order" books (from Pale Forgotten Glory domain) and Lightless Silk String (from the All-Devouring Narwhal weekly boss). Second, manage your Primogems wisely! Decide if you're going for C0 (just getting the character), specific constellations (like C1 or C2 are often great power spikes), or his signature weapon. Personally, I'm aiming for C1 this time, but I'll see how my luck goes. Remember the 50/50 system and soft pity! It's always a gamble, but with enough saved wishes, you increase your chances. So, to recap the big question: Wriothesley has now had two banners in total – his initial release in 4.1 and this current 5.4 rerun. This makes him a relatively new character in terms of rerun frequency, but his return is highly anticipated. I'm so hyped for this rerun, and I hope everyone wishing for him gets lucky! Let me know in the comments if you're pulling for Wriothesley or his constellations!
