Raiden Shogun

Is anyone truly surprised that the Electro Archon turned out to be the ultimate battery? When other character’s use their elemental bursts, it makes Raiden’s more powerful, but when she uses her own burst, it also recharges everyone elses. Considering that her passives also mean she scales with Energy Recharge, it creates a glorious never-ending … Read more

Albedo

This Alchemist’s strength lies in his Elemental Skill: Solar Isotoma. This ability provides a consistent source of AoE Geo damage, a fast cooldown, and produces elemental particles to fuel other abilities. It also creates a raised platform that your characters can use for plunge attacks, or to rain destruction from—no wonder Klee likes him so … Read more

Arataki Itto

Itto is a defense-scaling damage-dealer who gains stacks of Superlative Superstrength that he uses to perform powerful Arataki Kesagiri charged attacks. The Raging Oni King state from his burst strengthens these even further, and grants him Geo infusion similar to Noelle’s Sweeping Time.

Hanyu

This Cryo archer is not only one the best DPS characters for that element, but one of the best damage dealers in Genshin. Her greatest strength are her charged Frostflake Arrows that explode and cause AoE Cryo damage, making her fantastic at freezing enemies. Similar to Shenhe, she can also boost Cryo damage with her … Read more

Venti

This tone-deaf bard is one of the most powerful Anemo characters in-game, using his Elemental Burst to summon an AoE hurricane that sucks in enemies and absorbs other elements to trigger Swirl. This makes Venti a versatile support for most damage-dealing characters. Also he levitates, which is cool.

Ayato

The head of the Kamisato clan is a strong damage-dealer, due in large part to his speedy Shunsuiken Hydro attacks, and the Namisen effect that buffs them. When you also take into account the normal attack buff from his Suiyuu burst, and his energy regen passive, you have a pretty self-sufficient DPS character.

Yelan

This five-star Hydro bow-wielder is effectively the closest thing Teyvat has to a secret agent, running around wrapping up evil-doers with her Lingering Lifelines. Yelan truly shines as a sub-DPS. Her Exquisite Throw is basically a better version of Xingqiu’s Raincutter burst, and can combo with other characters to do some serious damage.

Heizou

The first Anemo catalyst-user in Genshin Impact quite literally punches above his weight, using the power of the wind to beat the hell out of enemies, and infusing elements to cause explosions with his Windmuster Kick. Like Bennett or Xingqiu, Heizou is a four-star that really provides five-star value.
