During the second half of Genshin Impact's Version 3.3 update, both the Raiden Shogun and Kamisato Ayato will have promotional rerun Banners that players can attempt to pull on. HoYoverse has consistently featured returning 5-star characters within every update, which provides an opportunity to acquire a specific unit or to strengthen characters through the game's Constellation system. Due to the new 4-star ally Faruzan being released during the first half of the update along with the Wanderer (Scaramouche) and Arataki Itto, players should expect three returning 4-star characters that will be featured along with Raiden Shogun and Ayato.

The Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact is an Electro polearm user that specializes in quick burst damage while also offering support to allies. Kamisato Ayato can consistently apply Hydro to enemies while also dealing significant damage through his Normal Attacks. Both characters offer distinct advantages and disadvantages in battle and can become a strong asset for players; therefore knowing how the two characters compare can help fans understand who to pull for.

The Raiden Shogun can help enable Electro Reactions with her Elemental Skill, an ability that deals Electro damage to enemies even when she is off-field. The Raiden Shogun's greatest strength is her ability to deal significant amounts of damage with her Elemental Burst while simultaneously helping charge all party members' Burst gauge. Due to her many supportive capabilities, Shogun is regarded as one of the best playable characters in Genshin Impact. If players want to further increase her damage output, then obtaining her at Constellation level two will make her a top-tier DPS character.

Kamisato Ayato can be used as both an on-field and off-field damage dealer within a team. His Elemental Burst has one of the largest areas-of-effect in Genshin Impact, and will constantly rain down Hydro damage to enemies. If players want to use him as a Hypercarry damage dealer, then his Elemental Skill will transition Ayato into an offensive state that will change his Normal Attacks and increase his damage. Kamisato Ayato specializes in triggering and enabling Hydro-specific Elemental Reactions and is considered among the best Hydro characters in Genshin Impact. He is also one of the easiest characters to use because the player will only need to hold down the Normal Attack button and Ayato will instantly attack non-stop until his skill ends, which makes him very beginner-friendly.

Between the Raiden Shogun and Kamisato Ayato, many players have used the Shogun significantly more for challenging content such as the Spiral Abyss. She has become one of the best 5-star characters in the game due to her strong Talents and being able to fit into most teams' builds, one being the Raiden National Team, which is considered a strong variation of the National Team in Genshin Impact. Players should consider pulling for the Raiden Shogun first, but if fans need a reliable Hydro character then Kamisato Ayato will not disappoint.
