Top 10 Best Genshin Impact Characters

Hu Tao's damage is crazy. I love her dark humor too. She's definitely my favorite.
I don't know much about her, but she's really cute and seems strong.

My main. People who hate on her don't know how to use her well or haven't raised her enough. As soon as they saw another pyro character, they dropped her. It's very sad.

Deemed the greatest bard in the world.

I used to be obsessed with him, but now I just enjoy his character.


Bennett is so versatile, and his burst is probably my favorite in the game. The healing is overpowered, and he can slightly increase your attack, especially if you're a pyro. Also, he's super likable and impossible to hate, even if you try.
Extremely versatile, very lovable, and amazing to have on a team.

She's quite funny, especially because people keep calling her "emergency food."

I'm a sucker for this guy. I don't really like his in-game design, though. I prefer his art.

His shield is very overpowered, and his petrification is amazing.

The Newcomers



I love Lisa! Her personality, voice, and design are all awesome!
I love you, Lisa Minci. Will you be my girlfriend?

Xiao is one of the best, most well-rounded characters in the game. His story, strength, and abilities make him beyond enjoyable to play.
"The time has come for humans to put their glowing trash in the ocean."

Klee is a pretty good damage dealer. Her bombs do a lot of damage.

Really strong! She is a vital part of my team.

I don't have Ganyu because she's too hard to get, but I've heard she's really overpowered.
I love you, Ganyu. Will you marry me?


Aside from being, in my opinion, the best-looking character in this game by a generous margin, his backstory and personality are rich in color, flavor, and texture. I find it unfortunate that so many people don't give him a second thought since he gives off the impression of being quite a flirty prick, on top of being nerfed in-game when it comes to fighting.
His attitude is a firm consequence of his past, and he's factually one of the most brilliant characters in the game today, as evidenced by his tactical and rational thinking. He lacks empathy at times, but he experienced extreme shocks at a young age. There's much more depth to his personality than I expected, but it's a shame he gets overshadowed. You most likely wouldn't realize how complex he is unless you unlock all his friendship stories, directly look up his backstory, or read the manga. There's also a lot of mystery surrounding him that makes him even more interesting. I hope he will finally shine in the late game.
All in all, he's nothing remarkable in the game aside from his great design. Lore- and personality-wise, he has a lot going on and is, subjectively, one of the best-written characters in the game.

Yet Mihoyo still hasn't released him as a playable character, like they promised.

I used to hate him, but after his story quest, he's one of my favorites.


Xiangling is a good four-star character and is probably my second favorite apart from Bennett. Her burst is really good and can burn anyone in any direction if they're too close.


Qiqi is a great healer, and her burst is underrated.
