  "markdown": "A rerun is a repeat appearance of a previously featured limited [banner](/wiki/banner). Because limited characters usually cannot be obtained between appearances, rerun cadence is the practical answer to \"can I skip this and get it later\", and it varies enormously: some Genshin Impact characters have rerun within four months, others have waited well over a year, and games publish no forward schedule.\n\nRerun behavior interacts with [pity](/wiki/pity-system) rules. In HoYoverse games pity carries into a rerun, so progress banked on one appearance keeps its value. In per-banner systems like Fate/Grand Order's 330-roll guarantee, a rerun restarts the counter from zero, which changes saving strategy completely.\n\nThe 2025 to 2026 trend is formalizing reruns into curated pools instead of one-at-a-time repeats: Genshin Impact's Chronicled Wish and its Lightrace Wish (July 2026), Honkai: Star Rail's multi-character rerun banners, and Wuthering Waves' Starpath Reverbs (July 2026) each collect several older characters behind a designated-target guarantee. [[1]](#ref-1) The format trades spotlight focus for choice, and it partially answers the genre's oldest complaint about missed characters becoming unobtainable for unpredictable stretches.",
