And not a word about new 4* versions. But there is information about legendary versions of legendary characters. Even Rappa won't be re-wounded.
When will River be released?
Looks like never again... I've been waiting for it for 2 years too.
I knocked out Anaxa, now we're waiting for Great Hertha, she hasn't appeared for 6 versions, any chance in the next couple of patches?
Will there be reruns of the characters' cones added to the Star Invitation? I wanted a cone for Fu Xuan. 🙁
Unlikely. You can buy it with the shards you get in the paid BP.
Will Archer remain in the banner after Rin's release?
Will stay.
It's still unknown, but insiders have previously said that they will continue for at least a few more years and be replenished with new characters every year.
