Genshin Impact announced in the 2.2 live stream Childe’s character banner would be getting another rerun. Since Childe is one of the only characters in the game with both a melee and ranged fighting stance, this is a good opportunity for travellers to add him to their team roster. Along with him, the Farewell of Snezhnaya banner will also see a drop rate increase for characters like Chongyun, Ningguang and Yanfei.
