Genshin Impact launched for Windows, PlayStation 4, Windows, iOS, and Android in 2020. Ever since its launch, this game has become a synonym for gacha. Genshin Impact was a game unlike any other on mobile phones and people were loving it. It became so popular that by March 2022, it managed to earn a revenue of over $4 Billion.

It being a gacha also means that it keeps on evolving. Constant updates, new storylines, and new characters are a regular thing and developer miHoYo has been pretty generous with these updates. A big part of these updates is the addition of rated characters. And if players are to be believed, a few new 4-star characters that miHoYo have released are way weaker than the previous bunch.

Now fans are just saying that this can be due to a number of reasons. Either these characters are given away free as a reward for completing a quest or are just planning to improve later. Even though one of these answers might be true, some just refuse to use them. According to some fans, if there’s a better character in the same class and better abilities are available, why waste time with these?
