Hall of Fame15+ versions — the droughts everyone still talks about
#117 version(s)

💬Went missing from banners so long that the running joke was he'd simply decided never to come down from Dragonspine.
💬His Solar Isotoma platform carries you up and down, so the fandom just calls him the Dragonspine elevator.
💬Inherited Eula's crown in the no-rerun marathon — the two of them only got out together on the 4.5 Chronicled Wish.
💬Disappeared for so long that 'wait, is this a new character?' became the standard reply under any Eula post.
💬3.5 was supposed to be the one — Mika, her own squadmate and a physical-damage Cryo support, debuted and she still wasn't on the schedule.
💬Cyno, Ayaka and Shenhe each got two rate-ups while she got zero. The joke settled on HoYoverse having simply locked her up.
💬The fandom's standing explanation for her droughts: she's still in solitary confinement and Jean hasn't signed the release.
💬Kaeya's survival rules for her — bombs in town means confinement, hurting someone means Jean shows up, setting the forest on fire means it's over — became a meme of their own.
💬Her bombs hit harder than most characters' entire kits, which is how she ended up nicknamed a tactical nuke in a hat.

💬One of the strongest Cryo buffers in the game, and she still vanished for the better part of two years.
💬The red ropes wound around her are lore-accurate restraints sealing her emotions and killing intent — not what most fan art chooses to focus on.
💬Raised by an adeptus far from human society, so she chews raw medicinal herbs like they're snacks.
💬Her ascension passive trades a flat −100% CRIT Rate for +25% Healing Bonus, and the community has never once let it go.
💬Her debut banner set the lowest revenue record in Genshin history — then she quietly became a staple of half the Hydro teams.
💬She calls the resistance members 'comrades' in English, so the fandom promoted her to supreme leader of the red revolution.
💬Version 4.6 gave him a second Story Quest chapter and no banner — the first time that had happened to anyone in Genshin.
💬Delivers terrible puns with a completely straight face, then adds that it was hilarious. He has a dedicated joke BGM called 'With Witty Wit.'
💬Called a windmill a 'great wind mechanism' four separate times until Tighnari flatly told him it wasn't funny.

💬Universally nicknamed Cocogoat — Qiqi's tall tale about a 'coconut goat' plus the horns on her head, and the fandom never looked back.
💬Went 630 days without a rerun, and her outfit released during that stretch — so people bought a skin for a character they couldn't actually pull.
💬As Yuehai Pavilion's secretary she pulls all-nighters constantly. Her PV invitation to work overtime together gets Paimon's flat 'No thanks.'
