This was massive news for new players, as an early 5-star unit will be able to carry them through the early game. Even though most of these characters are not part of the meta, even veterans were happy as they have asked for a similar reward for years.
HoYoverse also announced that this will be an annual event from now on. Additionally, the developers will add new 5 stars to the standard banners that will also be available through the selector in later years.
Apart from the 5-star selector, players will also receive 20 free pulls as a reward which will help them build pity for thePyro Archonof Natlan. Finally, some additional rewards such as Sactifying Elixir (change artifact stats), two Fragile Resin, Firstborn Firesprite, and Kaboom Box will also be available as part of the anniversary.
