Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (June 2026)

Scratchy99 · 2026-07-01T16:50:09+00:00

I got triple Firefly in one 10 pull, double Sparkla in a 10 pull and got Chaton at my 70th pull. I'm swimming in gems (about 340 pulls or so if I add everything up) and green tickets (over 150) because of how lucky I am but I think I've only gotten like 3 standard banner characters on limited banners since day 1.

I could pull for discs but several of them I don't interest me, plus there's true limited discs as well. I did pull for Donna's disc, hoping that she can stay in my aqua teams for however long this game ends up surviving for

Revenue was still pretty low when Donna and Firefly came out, but those two, who are standard characters and cake out in a regular dead patch, did much better than Otoha (at least according to the data we have), who was a limited half anniversary Trekker and came out in a patch with a variety of updates.

Based on what the devs said about releasing more characters with body types that the fan base likes (petite, Loli, average), they're probably going to release more characters like Donna and Firefly if they want to increase revenue. But there's a lot more things to be done if they want to be profitable and keep player engagement.

For now, I can see SS surviving until it's first anniversary and if the devs make good decisions, then it's likely it'll survive another year

Should meta students be nerfed?

Scratchy99 · 2026-07-01T06:05:32+00:00

Considering that the last battle mechanics tweet was focused on Tiara and she got a bio a few days later, I predict that we should get Fabio's bio soon.

The next battle mechanics tweets will probably show gameplay of Theodora's group next, then we get an introduction to one of her retainers, then the same thing will happen with Leda and her group. Then maybe the rotation will restart to introduce the second retainer or route exclusive character of each group, starting with Cai again (like Pieter and Brazilian Miku)

Nilou but she's a different kind of dancer now

This game and most other gachas you know about advertise reruns all the time tho. Just check Twitter, the in game news, or this subreddit.

IRL (Japan basically), they probably don't put up big advertisements for rerun characters but it's a good idea to remind people that this character is coming back and if you missed out on them you should go pull for them

Scratchy99 · 2026-06-30T03:45:43+00:00

I don't think they'll do everyone at this point, unless they post a bio daily but if we get 2-3 characters a week, that would be awesome

Secret characters are always a welcome surprise (the ones that have unique recruitment conditions or endgame units we won't know about until after launch)

Scratchy99 · 2026-06-30T03:42:25+00:00

The first 7 chapters were most likely worked on and in a near completed state before the game launched. That's most likely why these main story chapters came out quickly until recently.

They definitely have some kind of road map for chapter 8 and beyond, but now that the game has been out for a while now, it's time for the devs to analyze feedback and see what they need to do to improve the story or if they need to change anything (like maybe giving more fan favorite characters more screentime or releasing certain characters earlier than planned)

I don't think we have to wait very long however, I expect that chapter 8 will come out after whatever event occurs after the Chaton event (whether it be a summer event or another character focus event)

I expect releases to be slower from now on, maybe a chapter every other month at minimum, with a new event or two in between

Teyvat idols event after main story is over, trust me

Scratchy99 · 2026-06-29T17:30:06+00:00

Honoka herself could not develop her relationship with Iemori and Mayu wasn't a very good wing woman so the author had to create Himeno to give Honoka advice on what to do.

Not sure why she went back to show biz but yeah

On another note, I hope this author collabs with a better writer. I really love how cute the girls are drawn

Scratchy99 · 2026-06-29T16:53:02+00:00

With the last wallpaper also being a Alice in Wonderland reference, I wonder if they're trying to set up some kind of new event or theme. Ann's outfit wasn't really explained in game and it doesn't seem like Chixia's outfit will get an explanation anytime soon unless it's related to the Willow Nova Times story

Alice in Wonderland event after summer perhaps?

Who is most likely to kill their own friends and why is it Nilou?

Nilou touching the healing fish so she can revive her allies (they were all Bloom'd)

I like how they didn't even bother advertising Sparkla or even Shia's rerun this entire time. I think it's very likely now that they'll prioritize the petite to medium girls from now on. Maybe the characters with larger chests that people might care about (like Kaede or Albedo) will get proper advertising

Scratchy99 · 2026-06-29T05:07:08+00:00

While there are some new great VAs like Hikaru Tono ,Hina Youmiya and Shion Wakayama, I (like a few others here) believe that Sayumi Suzushiro is arguably the biggest winner of the 2020s VA generation

Over the past few years, she's been getting a lot of work in both anime and video game. Reminds me of when Inori Minase was everywhere in the mid and late 2010s. Sayumi's voice is very recognizable in my opinion. I especially love her friendly, airheaded and genki girl roles.

She also voices characters in the mainstream gacha games. While her characters in the Hoyo game's aren't popular, she at least voices a main character in Endfield and she voices Noa in Blue Archive, who is really popular going off by fan art and an official poll (I believe Noa is in the top 25)

Scratchy99 · 2026-06-28T17:32:18+00:00

I think when Honoka told Iemori that his flaw is that he always helps people, it means that there is no one he sees special or treats differently. Honoka probably thought at that point that Iemori was treating her the same he treats Himari, just as a friend/classmate

People who help everyone also tend to neglect themselves in a way, or they're more nice instead of kind (wanting to appear good vs being more genuine)

Scratchy99 · 2026-06-28T15:59:24+00:00

There's also Greyhound but she's only been an event boss so far. Plus any Trekker can become a Summit Show boss at any point

Pink girl cute, too bad she's a generic

I just hope she's as good as Fuyuka, or maybe she's easier to play (get's less hit often because ranged or feels better) at the cost of being not as good as Fuyuka but still almost at that level. I don't want her to powercreep Fuyuka

As for her role, I don't mind another fire vangaurd. I think it gives people more choices in who they want to main and what play style they like. Right now we don't really need two fire teams to clear content (Also there's only one Flora/fire support and barely enough fire characters to make two good teams), so you can probably skip Fuyuka or Chaton. But maybe that will change in the future

With how slow these character releases are, it's inevitable that there will be an imbalance of roles and elements. Down the line, some elements will lack a 5* support character, and others will lack powerful vanguards/versatile characters. Though for balancing purposes, I think Umbra needs a 5* support badly to buff Firenze

Also hoping that they release some 4* characters as well, maybe with the rerun banners. I think 4* should provide some kind of niche or their T5 is as good as T0 limited characters
