Yes, the Arataki Itto banner rerun is worth pulling on. This Geo character has access to some incredibly powerful abilities, which can make him a viable pick in a variety of Genshin Impact team comps. 

Itto currently has a 59.8% pick rate, making him the third most used Geo character in the game – sitting behind Zhongli and Albedo.
