There are currently over 60 Genshin Impact characters, including the Traveler variations you’ll unlock along the way. So brace yourself for a summary of who they are, their abilities, specialized weapons, where they rank in the universe, and more.
GANYU
Ganyu has remained one of the most powerful characters in Genshin Impact from the beginning. You’ll get to meet her in Chapter 1: Act 2: Farewell, Archaic Lord once you’ve made it to Liyue, but she can only be obtained through wishes.
HU TAO
Hu Tao used to be the highest damage dealer in the game with 2 million damage in a single hit but has since been bested by Eula. That doesn’t make her any less formidable, though. As Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she’s strongest when closest to death.
KAMISATO AYAKA
Ayaka was one of the first Genshin Impact characters from Inazuma to be released in the game, so she packs quite a punch, especially when properly built. As the heir to the Kamisato Clan, she upholds the samurai standards.
RAIDEN SHOGUN
It is no surprise that Raiden is currently the best battery in the game. We all knew she would be one of the most powerful characters – she’s the Electro archon, after all. She’s a great utility character that you can add to your team.
NAHIDA
Nahida is the vessel of Buer, also known as Lesser Lord Kusanali, our reigning Dendro archon. Her banner was one of the most wished-on events in Genshin Impact history, and she is a fan favorite due to her ability to read minds and a rather self-conscious personality.
KAEDEHARA KAZUHA
Kazuha is dubbed a ‘better version of Venti,’ an Anemo user who can do what Venti does but more effortlessly. He’s also a sword-wielding samurai that harnesses the power of the wind, which is pretty cool.
