Does happiness even exist anymore? In Genshin Impact, it supposedly does but not in the way many players think. Sadly, happiness isn’t found in contentment with the current roster of 4-star characters you have, even if Razor is among them. Otherwise, millions of players wouldn’t have gambled away billions of dollars just to get the coveted 5-star characters.
Needless to say, happiness in Genshin Impact lies in being lucky enough to have a 5-star character, because they are the best when it comes to the game. It just so happens that their number keeps increasing and there are currently ten of them plus the main character. Which of them is the best though?
11 The Traveler
Well, certainly not this one. The Traveler, whether it’s Aether (boy) or Lumine (girl) is the only free 5-star characters the players will ever obtain. Even then, this one’s not exactly thrilling to have. Aether and Lumine are both just support characters and they’re not even the best at what they do.
The only advantage they have over others is the fact that they can switch elements. In the near future, however, they’re bound to become more important as more cities and regions are added to the game, most likely expanding the Traveler’s elemental pool.
10 Zhongli
Geo is currently the worst available element right now since Genshin Impact is a game of numbers and the majority of players love to focus their efforts on seeing huge damage numbers. Geo simply doesn’t provide the best opportunity for this as it’s a defensive element.
Zhongli had the misfortune of being the patron of geo element since he’s also literally a former god. Even with all the buffs, he simply pales in comparison with what the other 5-star characters can do be it support or DPS. That, and he also requires a specialized set of artifacts to match them.
9 Jean
Jean’s skillset reflects her personality well. She’s a workaholic and tries to do everything herself. As such, Jean also loves to fill in for many roles in the party. Her element is anemo or wind, making her an awesome DPS companion since Swirl is one of the most powerful elemental reactions.
On top of that, Jean can also heal well though not as good as the more dedicated healers in the party. She’s perfect for anyone looking to save a character slot in their current party since Jean can count as both DPS support and healer.
8 Mona
Genshin Impact’s developers and official tier listing put Mona in the sub-DPS class or role, making her quite a sight on the battlefield both for her aesthetics and her skillset. She can easily cover the battlefield in hydro damage and status effects.
Hydro happens to be one of the best elements in the game and the most versatile as players can use it for crowd control with cryo and for DPS with pyro or electro. Unlike other DPS characters, Mona isn’t selfish and can also be a supplementary damage dealer in addition to being the main one.
7 Albedo
Speaking of selfless characters, Albedo is another sub-DPS character who’s actually better than Zhongli at utilizing the geo element. So all is forgiven for using a geo-focused Albedo since his Elemental Skill gives tons of shield and also has lots of utility.
It can drastically increase the DPS and defensive capability of characters along with the low cooldown. In addition to having more exciting skills than Zhongli, Albedo’s passives also grant a significant amount of energy recharge.
6 Keqing
As for the most powerful electro-based character in Genshin Impact right now? That would be Keqing. Sorry Razor users. Keqing at her base constellation count is a powerhouse capable of clearing battlefields in a blink.
If there is only one enemy such as a boss, then all the damage goes to them. What makes her a fun character is also her ability to teleport around the battlefield and zip past opponents with ease. Keqing can use this ability to travel as well.
5 Tartaglia
Now, for a much more solid hydro character that isn’t a healer or isn’t Mona, Tartaglia or Childe is just miles better. He’s the only pure DPS hydro character right now and the fact that he uses a bow makes him a desirable addition to any party.
The ranged form of attacks makes him more evasive to damage compared to other DPS characters. Tartaglia’s playstyle is also exciting since he can switch to melee too and dish out even more damage for faster attacks and better precision.
4 Qiqi
There’s no other better healer in the game than Qiqi the zombie popsicle girl. It’s impossible for her to die with the right artifacts. Many players have already proven this in the latest event in Dragonspine where Qiqi can tank through the Cryo Regisvine’s eruption with no shield.
That also makes her a reliable tank. Qiqi can heal herself faster than most sources can damage her. Theoretically, that also makes her a powerful damage-dealer since she can’t die when built for it but her damage output is simply too low and she’s also open to interruptions.
3 Klee
Want to deal the most pyro damage in the shortest amount of time all from a relatively safe distance? Then look no further than Klee. Klee throws out bombs like it’s nobody’s business and when she gets bored of that, she leaves around landmines all over the battlefield.
When paired with Albedo (assuming you’re lucky enough to have them both, how dare you), Klee can become an invincible reign of fire and terror that most enemies can’t hit. The only thing preventing her from being a selfish DPS character is her pyro element as she can become helpless when facing pyro Abyss Mages or pyro slimes.
2 Venti
Venti is the best support in the game and also the best anemo character. He can easily change the layouts of the battlefield by introducing a vortex that sucks in all enemies, opening them up to stacks of Swirl elemental reactions.
His Elemental Skill also allows him to create updrafts that let players fly and glide and also sends enemies up in the air for some crowd control. Venti then does all of this with his bow, making him a reliable last resort for when other party members are dead and range is the only line of defense left.
1 Diluc
Right now, it seems that Genshin Impact’s developers are intent on keeping Diluc on the DPS throne. He’s easily one of the most effortless damage dealers in the game and is a selfish character who can stand on his own without help or support thanks to physical damage.
Give him support and then he’ll suddenly become a speedrunner’s dream main character. Diluc can clear battlefields with one button and then do it again a few seconds later because his skills have a low cooldown. He’s perfect in every way and the worst thing about Diluc? Getting him.
