Overview of Current Trials for Genshin Impact Players
- Players express a need for combat trials involving Chronicled Banner characters to aid decision-making in pulling.
- New players face challenges in assessing whether to pursue specific 5-Star characters due to limited testing options.
- Introducing permanent character trials could significantly improve decision-making for players when pulling for new characters.
Genshin Impact enthusiasts have highlighted the current absence of testing opportunities for Chronicled Banner characters, creating uncertainty for new players contemplating pulls on specific 5-Stars. Although the expansive open world of Genshin Impact has received considerable acclaim over the years, the game’s core attraction lies in its diverse roster of characters. Each character possesses a distinct play style, ensuring that every player can find a character that resonates with their preferences.
Players primarily rely on either Limited or Standard Banners to acquire characters in Genshin Impact. Thus, it is crucial for HoYoverse to include combat trials that allow players to experience the gameplay of featured 5-Star and 4-Star characters. Although Story Quests offer a limited opportunity to test characters, these special domains can only be completed once, which diminishes their utility for ongoing decision-making.
The lack of combat trials for Chronicled Banner characters was notably raised by user Silly-Accountant4116 on Reddit. Unlike Arlecchino and Clorinde, the current 5-Star lineup from the Chronicled Banner—comprising Baizhu, Childe, Xiao, Ganyu, Shenhe, Keqing, and Qiqi—offers no testing opportunities for players. Critics argue that even if trial runs were introduced for many characters, any resulting Primogems would not equate to enough for even a single pull.
Demand for Permanent Character Trials Among Genshin Impact Players
Why is there no Test Run for Chronicled Wish characters? by u/Silly-Accountant4116 in Genshin_Impact
The conversation surrounding the lack of trials for Chronicled Banner characters has sparked broader inquiries into why combat trials are not a permanent feature in the game. Notably, Zenless Zone Zero offers constant testing for its diverse character lineup, while Genshin Impact boasts an extensive collection that would benefit from similar trials. For characters like Shenhe, whose reruns may take nearly two years, the introduction of permanent trials could mitigate the lengthy wait times and assist players in their decision-making process.





Given the consistent quality-of-life enhancements HoYoverse has implemented in Genshin Impact since the late Fontaine updates, there is a realistic expectation for the eventual inclusion of permanent character trials. While players currently lack the ability to test the featured characters in the Chronicled Banner, numerous online resources remain available to guide them in evaluating whether a particular 5-Star character aligns with their gameplay style. The Chronicled Banner will continue until February 12, coinciding with the anticipated launch of Version 5.4.
