It's hardly been twelve hours since Mihoyo shared its teaser for Arataki Itto on Twitter, but Teyvat's next Geo user is already beloved by all. The mysterious gang leader is outpacing the wildly popular Raiden Shogun in the race for engagement, and has all of us collectively rethinking any plans we may have had for stashes of precious Primogems.
Itto's reveal is a bit of a strange one, considering in-depth leaks for the dreamy Claymore-wielding hero didn't drop months in advance.

Over on Twitter, Mihoyo's English account for Genshin Impact only makes two mentions of Itto, but at the time of writing this, they're already over a collective 160,000 retweets and 370,000 likes. The announcement of just his existence is already more popular than any of us could ever hope to be, and players have some thoughts on the head of the Arataki gang.

Itto is undeniably a Genshin Impact star already though, one that comes just after the RPG climbed to the top of September's mobile gaming charts despite a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:nasty series of review bombs from players.
Other Genshin Impact favorites, like Keqing, have their own dedicated subreddits, and Itto of course already has his own. It's a thirsty corner of the fandom, already filled with illustration after illustration of Itto's bare abs and digs at the Geo element's other desirable lord, Zhongli.
No matter what, there's room in my heart—and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:my messy roster—for two 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Geo hotties. Limited resources be damned, some of us are in the comments with a . A party with Zhongli and Itto gives you a spicy Elemental Resonance anyway, so pull away when his banner rolls around, there's room for both.
