Baal will be either in August or September, Mihoyo confirmed that update 2.2 will be introduced on October 13-14 so if Baal is in the first banner in 2.1 it should be in the middle of August

why early august? every update is 6 weeks apart and the 2.0 update is tomorrow so mathematically speaking the 2.1 update is early september. but mihoyo already stated baal is not coming in 2.1, maybe in 2.2 or 2.3 aka oktober or late november.

lol did not read they said 2.1 not 2.0 that already we know is Ayaka and Yoimya.
Mostly likely speculating we will probably need to fight our way to the Shogun so maybe only after 2.2? seems we will have to maybe fight Sara and maybe Yea?

Baal will not release first because ayaka is first, followed by yoimiya lol
