It hasn't been visible in top 50 for a while. Currently this sits at 83 or something.
Until the gameplay loop gets a bunch of significant changes (ascension, emblem, content frequency) it's going to remain this way for the foreseeable future.
Like please give us something to do. Why is Finale Echoing only running once every 2 months? Why has Summit Showdown only ran once? Why are events recycling minigames until literally only this most recent patch?
It's Yostar's first internally developed game and it really shows.

Nah lmao, game just slow on EVERYTHING and got bunch of other problem
Story, updates give very short story, unvoiced at that
Released not one but TWO alt instead of releasing a new named character, the game is not even 6 months old
Events roll out just slow in general
Slow character release rate, genuinely, why this kind of game even follow release rate of genshin
Most of 4 star that isnt support felt godawful to play in general, especially at ranged aoe matchup
Said character going to put into standard pool, nothing, and they already introduced a true limited unit (santa laru) months ago lol

u/thelastgooberofGolb HSR / Stella Sora / BA / Azur Lane Mar 01 '26
I liked the game but they really undercooked the roguelite despite being the gameplay most people will interact with. Every run is basically the same, there is no incentive to keep playing once you get a decent score and cards, and getting there is such a chore too.
Story chapters should be longer, FGO makes large chapters every new patch, but SS basically gives us 40 minutes of content every update.
The banners were also weird, i sincerely doubt that Laru and Coronis were popular enough to warrant an alt so early in the game's life. The lack of 3D skins was another issue, give me skins i can actually see on gameplay.
→ More replies (7)16
u/cug12 Mar 01 '26
The problem, even with 3D the skins in this game is really lacking. I bought their premium skin (non battle pass one) and it doesn't even have a new voicelines usually found on a game skins with barely any interactive feature (Counterside, Granblue Fantasy). The only skins even more lacking than that was Arknights but that game skins are technically free.
They're also releasing their skins like they are some kind of high quality 3D gacha (only 1 premium skin per patch). Skin monetizations usually only works with multiple release since not everyone are going to buy that one skin since preferences exist.
There is also a problem where non main trekker wouldn't be showing their 3D in the gameplay most of the time anyway so the BP wallpaper skins ended up being a better deal in comparison.

Fire emblem Heroes dropping past the top 50 even though is was their 9th anniversary, even doing WORSE than January, tells you how much they did fuck up with their terrible decisions in giving new free units.
Twisted wonderland BARELY missing top 50 (doing 2.4 millions) is not somerhing for me to concern. Without counting overblot Leona in JP, it was actually a dried month for both servers, and I do believe it will get better next month as it's JP six anniversary. And EN will have two overblot forms so some wallets (including mine) are in danger.
I also believe Uma will rise because 6th anniversary in JP is going right now and EN will have their "1st" anniversary soon.
HSR I predict will be a dried month because Sparxie and Ashveil will not carry it and April will be their 3rd anniversary so I do believe people will save pulls and money for 4.2.

u/cuttieartgirl Mar 01 '26
Ok, so slowly they have been taking away things without us noticing until January. We didn't notice this minor changes until it exploded at the start of 2026.
First no video for the end of the TT+ Book 6 story (we get this special end videos like the books for special TT's that have continuation of the Books story). Then they drop Harmonized Brave Heroes (put the two winners of CLYs together and call it a day) this does not include a GHB, but instead they added JUST for the first banner battles like legendary/mythic/emblem heroes.
Book 10 arrivals came with a celebration with a character... that came from the banner. Normally we get a new added pool character that doesn't appear in the banner but is added directly to the pool, but here they just gave the 4* of the banner.
Then January released the TT+ for new year... that include ZERO new unit for TT+. Instead is a 3 year old unit with outdated skills and no use, neither in arena. Plus you cannot +10 merge them as you can only redeem them with grails just 2 times. And in this TT they give you just ONE unit. So the max you can do to this character is +2.
People were angry, whales decided to quit, people cancel the feh pass, but it seems February was enough for people. Guess how many new units got into the pool this month? YOU GUESSED IT! ZERO NEW UNITS TO THE POOL. Only 8 characters were released last month, and only ONE was a new character, the rest were all repeat. They even added the harmonized CYL again but this one was worse. No maps like the legends battles (instead it was new story), no GHB and no Forging Bonds.
So no new TT+ units, as they were replace with 3 year old units, almost no new units to the pool, GHB are getting rarer and the powercreep is way off the roof.
Sorry for the long comment, but this time IS really screwed up this time.

It's just too flashy for me. Even the numbers on the elation card was flashing rainbow, like why? I swear someone out there got seizures over time from this.
Also people learned from Aglaea/Castorice to wait out the entire team to see whether it's worth to pull or not. Aglaea being the first remembrance without actual dedicated remembrance team like Castorice, might deter people from pulling Yao/Sparxie till SW/Evanescia full team is shown.

This.
The Units before anniversary are sent out to "die" or get replaced/powercrept fairly early as the meta revolves around the Anni Unit.
If they do it like with Acheron/Firefly or Castorice/Phainon most of their best in slot units come afterwards.
So IF Yao Guang or Sparxie are part of their teams they will rerun them alongside them or their support units anyway.

also people are probably just wary cuz of what happened with Aglaea and also Sunday. Aglaea was obviously the guinea pig for remembrance and was given peanuts throughout 3.x, Sunday was marketed as a summon/remembrance support and he never even got a spot in the premium remembrance team + got powercrept by Cyrene in Aglaea's team
Leakers did also sow some seeds of discord (likely unintentionally but some leakers thrive off ragebait to get interaction like with Sunday and Cyrene) with Silverwolf rumored to not want Yao at all, and there was also the whole EMC will be on par/better than Yao speculation. People are probably just gonna wait until 4.2 beta before pulling Yao

FYI!
Varka and Zibai both did really really good. Zibai had no business doing as great as she did without battlepass revenue, and Varka had no buisiness doing as great as he did considering how lukewarm his release combat state is. They both did really really solid.
If you want a breakdown of Zibai's and Varka's regional performances(per Top Chart which records the LOWEST rank of one's debut day)
CN: Zibai 5, Varka 6
*Varka would have hit 5 in CN without the "Boss" CN Linked in app going nuts and hitting top 4 during his debut. On the day of Zibai release the boss app was rank 29, if Boss app had shot up to rank 4 on her release day it would have bumped her to 6 too(and nearly all other Genshin banners for that matter). Boss app does not normally push down the performances of genshin characters so Varka hit 6 due to an anomaly app event and otherwise would have hit 5.
In other regions
SK: Both 21
Aus: Varka 25, Zibai 38
Taiwan: Varka 9, Zibai 12
Vietnam: Varka 18, Zibai 14
Russia: Varka 8, Zibai 16
Japan: Varka 6, Zibai 7
US: Varka 32, Zibai 42
Brazil: Varka 62, Zibai 65.
Top Charts - Market Analysis - Sensor Tower
Again Topup gives LOWEST number when it snapshots rank. For example I believe Varka hit a peak of 24 in US and somewhere between 31-34 for Zibai, but they dropped to 32 and 42 by the end of the day.

Varka and Zibai are successful for totally opposite reasons and that’s funny
Zibai came out of literally nowhere and had a bit role, but sold based on incredible metagame performance
Meanwhile Varka is universally agreed to be kinda okay-ish gameplay wise, but had incredible narrative buildup and oozes charisma out the wazoo
Either way it’s a 1-2 punch of a patch and there’s something for everyone

yeah true i pulled Zibai cause she looks majestic and Varka for being best Dad in Genshin. Also i dont give a damn about the doomposters in Genshin anymore, they where wrong way too many times already and knowing that Nicole will definitly boost Hexerei in one way or another there is a big chance Varka will be buffed aswell.

Also Varka's just a more fun character to play mechanically speaking. His hits really sells the oomph behind every slash while lacking the usual sluggishness of other claymore characters. It's really his numbers and restrictions that hold him back (sidenote pls Nicole, save varkanation)
Meanwhile Zibai's autotargeting is an actual joke. Unlike other characters she stays in the same place as she does her attack, meaning enemies moving out of her range ends with her just hitting the air a lot of times. You also have to get real close to the enemy for her auto-targeting to kick in, unlike characters like Arlecchino, who dashes to the nearest enemy available at any given moment.

Varka is also just so fun to play. It feels like DS3 with the ringed knight paired greatswords. And if you dont care about playing him in meta, he has so many teams.

General Reminders
This revenue chart provides estimates for mobile platforms only, sourced directly from SensorTower. Revenue generated by the PC and Console versions of games, where applicable, are not included. As the Google Play Store does not exist in China, any estimates published in regards to China's Android revenue data are established using a multiplier based on the country's iOS revenue estimates. The chart published here is accurate as of the time of posting, but SensorTower may revise or adjust their estimates over the next few days. Numbers on the revenue.ennead.cc website may be subsequently updated to reflect those changes as necessary. Estimates do not take into account development costs or marketing expenses, and therefore do not directly translate to "profit" for the developers and/or publishers. While these estimates can be useful for gauging trends, they are not intended to be taken at face value as definitive revenue figures.
