The BEST Character Of Each Element | Genshin Impact 

Technically Nahida shares 25% of the EM of whoever has the highest EM in the party, not her own. In my case, she shares Shinobu's EM.

They really need to allow venti to pull largers enemies like ruin guards, not where the float but are pulled to the center. I mean he threw mountains to form the archipelago.

As someone who uses the Geo Boys on every abyss reset, I still agree that Zhongli is better than Itto, like yeah. Itto can do TONS of dmg, but you need a lot of stuff for him to do that. So if you invest in him and his team, sure. However Zhongli just needs HP. That's it.

Picking cryo is hard for me. Ganyu is definitely the best all around character, Ayaka is definitely the best damage dealer, Shenhe is the best amplifier, and Diona is the most universal for team building. It feels like cryo is still missing that “staple” character that all the other elements seem to have.

it's interesting (but not surprising) that most of the 'best characters' are supports rather than the top strongest DPSes

Yun Jin has got to be one of the most helpful constellation group in Genshin. 4 out of 6 cons really enhances her main job of buffing. C2 buffs ally atk, C4 buffs her def which will add more atk buffs with her Elemental skill, C5 buffs her elemental skill so more numbers to her buffs, C6 increases ally attack speed which is also a buff. P.S. I'm not saying she's better than Zhongli lmao

This is really bizarre. On one hand, you say that Yelan and Xingqiu are a tossup because Yelan does more damage despite Xingqiu being far more universal than her , plus you factored in her constellations. On the other hand however, you say that Fischl is better than Raiden because she is more universal and benefits more from Dendro despite the fact that Raiden at c2 is significantly stronger than Fischl is, on top of some of her strong hyperbloom/quickbloom teams. Fischl is only really strong in aggravate with electro dps characters that have high electro application that abuses her a4 passive, but in everything else she is either replaceable (spread teams that can't abuse her a4 passive) or worse (hyperbloom/quickbloom teams where consistent AoE electro application matters more). If you are basing this on what character represents their respective element best that's fine, but if that's the case then Xingqiu is undeniably the best hydro character.

Sucrose also needs an honorable mention in Anemo.

I’m very interested in what they’re going to do with Focalors’ kit, since we already have two of the best sub dps as hydro perhaps they will go with a more main DPS approach ( maybe really good for forward vape teams or smth like that ). Although that’s not really what hydro is known for, maybe she’ll have some interesting mechanics.

Another massive point of comparison between Raiden and Fischl that seems often overlooked is that Raiden's E cannot target shielded enemies, whereas Oz can with no problem. Before Dendro, and with bad luck pulling Cryo units, this was a make-or-break difference facing Hydro Heralds.

My take... Anemo Best unit: Kazuha Best exemplifies the strengths of the element: Kazuha Geo Best unit: Zhongli Best exemplifies the strengths of the element: Gorou Electro Best unit: Raiden Shogun Best exemplifies the strengths of the element: Fischl Dendro Best unit: Nahida Best exemplifies the strengths of the element: Nahida Hydro Best unit: either Xingqiu or Yelan Best exemplifies the strengths of the element: Xingqiu Pyro Best unit: Bennett Best exemplifies the strengths of the element: Hu Tao or Xiangling Cryo Best unit: Ayaka Best exemplifies the strengths of the element: Ganyu

Fischl choice was soooooo based. She really encapulates electro in all ways. Talents and cons of her just go above and beyond on making her deal a constant barrage of electro damage

I can already guess Zhongli from Geo Raiden from Electro Nahida from Dendro Kazuha from Anemo Bennett from Pyro Xingqiu/Yelan from Hydro Ayaka/Ganyu from Cryo

I kinda forgot fischl was a good electro unit. I've been playing her as physicsl for such a long time. I haven't really used her other abilities much.

LOL !!! There is a reason why Raiden Shogun has a top 5 usage rate in every abyss cycle for long long time now. and fischl is usually sits around in top 20 or so. even though fischl is broken and amazing unit, she cant compete with shogun.

I have one more point to be adding to the whole Raiden vs Fischl, Raiden actually has an advantage of generating flat energy (same amount for every element, her flat energy heavily competes with batteries of a particular element i.e. Diona for Cryo, etc) rather than only electro particles generated by Fischl, that somewhere makes her a better overall battery, even when considering an electro battery, Raiden can be better somewhat (even more energy through electro particles from her E), especially since off field characters take lesser particles that will happen with Fischl meanwhile Raiden's will be the same whether they are on field or off field

If crystalise were to be buffed to be actually useful in its own niche (providing shielding), Albedo could be great imo. Providing Elemental Mastery on his burst makes me think that this was supposed to be the case in the first place.

As someone who has c6 Fischl and c0 Raiden, I fully support your placement decision. Amount of electro dmg and applications that Fischl can do in a moment is just unachievable by anyone else. And while Raiden can do dmg by herself and used in some reactions, every time I'm looking for someone to be a part of electro for reactions there's only one answer: Fischl.

8:32 that timing of the music and Kokomi's Burst was sick... Edit: also that transition at 10:07 with Zhongli (again...with the music) was cool as well. Amazing editing there Vars !!!

There are a lot of ways you can define the best. Hydro as a whole may be dominated by the XQ and Yelan but I can say in other specific ways Childe, Kokomo, and Ayato are the best and happily argue why and in what way for hours. Electro possibly even more so especially these days. We have some balancing problems at times but for characters who aren't struggling there is a lot of good choice. That's something I rather admire about this game especially as older gamer who remembers countless titles where the power gap because of a tiny few alienated the entire cast in many older games.

I agree with basically all your picks. Even the Electro pick, because I was honestly thinking the same thing. Fischle aged like a fine wine.

🌸🌹I but await today’s findings as one before the precipice of life’s greatest treasure, and am myself of great ardor!🌹🌸

I think you had a very good benchmark for what should determine the best of each, I agree with all of them personally, I have a semi unrelated thought, while I now some info is out I haven’t looked at it and I’m sure plenty here haven’t either, the thought being what is the hydro archon going to do, hydro’s roll in the game is largely that of enabler/driver, based on the resonance of the other elements (except for Anemo) it would be easy to predict any of the archons baseline kit focus would be but hydros is more for what a lot of there units scale off of

Raiden, Fischl and Yae, I feel like all three are really solid. Since Fischl is the most flexible of the bunch, it makes sense to place her as number one. But honestly, performance-wise, I love all three.

I agree for the most part but Fischl over Raiden is outlandishly outrageous. Raiden is an absolute monster and if you include early constellations she is insane. Plus the fact that EM Raiden exists further enhances her flexibility and usefulness. Fischl is good. I love her. But lets be real here its not close. Lets not forget Raiden is the best battery in the game, she buffs everyone's burst, she does main DPS damage with sub DPS utility, and she is a reliable electro applicator with very comfortable uptime. Also I strongly believe Yelan is hands down better than Xingqiu outside of a Hu Tao team. But that is more debatable I suppose

What content creators always forgot to mention that Fischl only becomes that amazing at C6. As someone who only started playing Genshin in 3.0 and have only C2 Fischl, I find myself using her less and less the more characters I have. Raiden is just as good at electro application as a C2 Fischl, while having constant uptime.

this was a really cool analysis and I agree with the choices

Yeah no, FIschls 2nd you cant say she does more than Raiden and your assumption implies someone would have a c6 on hand which does change how good Fischl is + Raidens battery and uptime consistency and ability to trigger hyperblooms is just superior.

What I normally find with Ayakas burst is that it either kills small enemies WAY before it runs out, it is used against a boss so I lose crit rate, or sometimes it just misses or said boss moves out the way :/

Raiden over fischl for me, her skill has no downtime + burst energy CD for all party members is big

i'm actually really happy you gave attention to our resident LARPer and even though my Shogun is the star of my account and the sole reason i started being able to clear the abyss back when she launched, i can't forsake how much Fischl carried me on Oz's back throughout my progression

Nice video, also which is the song playing in the background? I think it is from Persona but I can't remember which song it is

The inconsistent usage of considering five star constellations is really strange to me I like a lot of your videos but if you’re going to include yelan cons to say she’s better than xinqiu (debatable) then you should use cons for every other five star on the list or don’t use cons at all it’s kind of an unfair thing to do

I am quite conflicted about electro, i know fischl is quite good especially after dendro, but she is only good in aggravate teams, her passive doesn't even work in spread teams as often as it does, but Raiden is great in Aggravate, Spread, Hypebloom and After dendro's release you can even play hyper Raiden and get about same damage no. even without c6 Sara, replacing Sara with any other dendro character.

I love ur voice, its so soothing and calming

Nice, I guessed them all (I only had Xq for Hydro, but deliberately did 1 per element). The only one I didn't expect to show up in this video was Gorou, but I'm not well-versed in mono-geo stuff

I was a fischl main to start with so happy to see her win a spot.

Why did you pick and choose who you would use constellations for? if that was the case then you should have put c1 hu tao in pyro since she as dependent on xingque as xiangling to bennett and you get higher damage. bias much???? If youre gonna put fischl over raiden because of flexibility in team comps then shouldnt ganyu be above ayaka?

I would love to see a version of this video with each weapon type also :0

Glad this video came out to remind me to pull for Nahida. I took a long break from the game since failing to pull her last time

Shogun functions as DPS (with C2 could almost one shot anything before dendro), sub dps, buffing support, battery support (all elements), is functional (best or second best) on any electro team (not only dendro). Very powerful and flexible. That's best character material for me. I'll have to watch again the video, but right now I don't remember you mentioning all those.

Fishl placement was a surprise but i agree with that completely. She is the only character in the game that is able to overcome nahida element application to even swirl electro in aggravate teams lol

How about the best weapons in each category next? I'm not aware you already have a video about it.

I might be the only one who never felt pressured to get Kazuha since I have a built Jean and venti. Kazuha only provides damage support but I have not needed more damage to beat the abyss. I usually need survivability so I use Jean or better crowd control so I use venti.

I get your point for fischl but i think it totally contradicts what you said for ayaka and ganyu? There's an incosistency there. Because ganyu is so much more versatile than ayaka, ayaka can only be a main dps and only for freeze comps, ganyu not only works in both freeze and melt, she can also be sub-dps with her burst and a support with her passives. If ayaka still placed higher for doing more damage than ganyu, by this logic, then raiden deserved to be best electro too.

I tried guessing the characters before watching the and got 5/7 correct (Got Cryo and Electro wrong, thought it'd be Ganyu and Raiden)

At the moment im running a stupid triple dendro team with Alhaitham, Kuki, Nahida, and Baizhu, might switch Kuki for Fischl, but i like the consistent healing while Baizhu's skill is down and his paper thin shield doesn't really block any incoming damage

I noticed smth about your take... All these units have off-field support WHILE encapsulating the ESSENCE of their element. *PYRO,* the element of war, damage output, and ATK, acting as a support through Bennett's buffs. *HYDRO,* the element of justice, recovery, and HP, brought full force with the elemental applications of Xingqiu and Yelan (better when together, too.) *ANEMO,* the element of freedom, movement, and CROWD CONTROL, donned by Kazuha's DMG buffs, skill utility, and VV procs. *ELECTRO,* the element of eternity, energy, and ER, covered by the bullet-like consistency of Fischl and Oz's energy generation. (Though Raiden's skill also does this to a lesser degree) *DENDRO,* the element of wisdom, catalysis, and EM, embraced by Nahida being a catalyst and unique 1.5U Dendro applicator with her skill and EM sharing. *CRYO,* the element of ???, pressure, and CRIT, freeze-framed through Ayaka's sheer application, and Ganyu's burst presence (plus that sweet 20% Cryo DMG bonus and free 15% crit rate when you use her Frostflake Arrows). Finally, *GEO,* the element of contracts and DEFense, grounded in Zhongli's shieldbot skill, and his petrifying burst.

I disagree with your choice of choosing fischl ver raiden because raiden brings more utility with her like off field DMG, party wide buff, energy generation and can also abuse most electro reactions on top off can be played as a hypercarry. I can understand your reasons for choosing fischl but I think you forgot the benefits of raiden other then just DMG. It's just my opinion. If you don't like it don't take it seriously. And I also like content you make.❤

I strongly disagree with electro's placement. Fischl is very good without the shadow of a doubt, but that applies only to aggravate and electrocharged comps. Raiden, other than having one of the best performing teams at all levels of investments, either uses strictly better reaction for low invested teams (hyperbloom) or has much stronger teams if you're willing to invest vertically (raiden hypercarry or raiden national). Overall i feel like Fischl works more as a Keqing/Beidou/Yae support more than anything else, or you could use her in some quickbloom teams with Nahida but that's pretty much it

I your videos.❤ Could make an update about the elemental resonance, now that dendro is out for a while?

My favorite character from each element: Pyro: Xiangling (Diluc and Bennett are close seconds.) Hydro: Xingqiu Anemo: Sucrose Electro: Fischl Geo: I haven’t used Geo in a long time to form an answer. Cryo: Diona Dendro: Dendro Aether/Lumine (I don’t have Nahida yet.)

This list is just gonna be dominated by supports

I understand that Fishl is broken but you just need to take a look at the usage rates for the abyss and youll find that Raiden is picked at a much higher rate and not only for the recent abyss. Its obvious that Raiden is the supreme electro character considering she consistantly gets picked over Fishl. At least from a meta point of perspective.

Haven't got fischl yet, saving for kazuha, nahida has always felt a little awkward to use whenever she's available through trails and events recently otherwise I would have pulled for her over Kaz. I also enjoy using ayato and alhaitham so that might explain my choices lol.

HOT TAKE Nahida is a bit down as dendro applier for ego onfield DPS (worse if burst addict and they suffer energy issue if their uptime not fully spent) when tackling multiwave spawn challenges

I would probably still go with Shogun just because she does so much in a way that sort of transcends electro. The logic that would lead you to select Fischl for electro would have lead me to pick Hu Tao or XL over Bennet for pyro, as they signify thier element better much like Fischl. Does. Shoguns role consolidation and universal useful ness is more like bennet in that way as well.

The problem with Fischl is her complete lack of aoe and the fact that in certain teams and agains very mobile enemies Oz is very unreliable

Being the "best" is always subjective, so I'm glad you went down a generalist route. It's certainly a very hard toss up between Raiden/fischl and Yelan/Xingqiu. I could understand arguments for either As kits are bound to get much more niche (like nilou for instance), I don't doubt that these characters will probably remain at the top as great all-around generalists within their respective element - Cryo being the odd one out for now

That background music at the start. I know it from somewhere. But I don't know from where. Can somebody pls help?

When you were talking about best geo character, I immediately thought of Albedo because of the EM boost and follow up that he provides - rather than yun jin, who i have only really seen in yoimiya teams. Also, Yelan's damage is not really a good enough reason to make her tie with xinqiu who can both heal, shield and shred resistance

Fischl may have been buffed slightly more than raiden with dendro but as an individual entity not only was raiden buffed but she embodiies the key aspect of electro, the energy recharge aspect, along with the overwhelming damage aspect. Ultimately, any burst centric team is ameliorated greatly by raiden, even without her driving it and just sitting there silently with her elemental skill active. Plus, raiden's skill activating on damage is great for things like nahida comps where you can chain the coordinated attacks on enemies on the other side of the room through her skill

In my opinion, venti is always easier to use than kazuha, because his crowd control is larger, longer and off field. And venti does way more damage

what is the best build for bennett? i have him built but he's so weak!

I think I only disagree with Fischl. She is really good, but she did not benefit that much from Dendro, at least not as much as you say. 1)For catalyze teams she requires a second electro (someone like Keqing, or maybe Cyno), and someone who also applies a lot. Maybe even also an anemo unit like Kazuha. Otherwise her utility is greatly reduced, since her a4 passive doesn't work. Units like Shinobu, Raiden and Yae Miko don't have this problem, and can work as a sole electro unit in these teams. 2)She doesn't really work in Hyperbloom. Oz doesn't always hit the dendro seeds, and her utility is these teams is always as a second electro unit not as the only one. Kuki and Raiden don't have this issue. There is only one dendro team in which she is objectively better than other electro units on her own, and that team is Burgeon. This because she helps with energy and to diminish the burning aura. Other than Burgeon she requires another electro unit to be actually a benefit to the team. And even then she is replaceable by another unit of a different element (dendro, hydro, cryo or geo). Other than dendro, Fischl is only better in Taser. So, at the very least, I would put Raiden and Fischl at the same rank. Raiden is a better battery and I think she works better in most dendro teams that use electro than Fischl (since she does not need another electro unit at all). But she does require to change her DPS build to a EM build for dendro, while Fischl doesn't need to change much. Fischl is also more accessible (If someone is playing since 1.1 they should at least have her a C1 since she was given for free twice), while Raiden is a 5 star, who reaches her ceiling at C3. So there is an argument where you could place them at the same rank, putting one over the other depending of what parameters we are using.

I feel Albedo should have at least gotten the honorable mention for geo. He can be used in almost any situation that I've found. He's my most played character, possibly cause he's my favorite character, but his usefulness is extremely underrated. While geo may not react with anything in a way that's seen as useful, Albedo doesn't care. Hell, I'd argue that some of his best teams are ones where he doesn't react with anything, like Xiao, especially with his c4, or any Dendro based team, with I believe one of his passives giving 120 em? I can't remember if it's just him being there or after doing his ult, but either way, a decent boost for a character that doesn't use it at all. The amount of damage he can do on his own shouldn't be laughed at either, depending on the build, likely doing the most of all geo members aside from Itto, who you need to have out on the field to do so where Albedo can just use his skill and you're set. And with the uptime of his skill compared to its cool down is kinda ridiculous thinking about it, 30 second duration with a 5 second cool down. How he's one of the least owned characters is beyond me. He may not encapsulate geo the best, as he shouldn't with the literal archon right there, but I'd argue he's one of the best characters in the game, let alone of geo. People really be sleeping on him man.

I just got the green guy on the new banner. They say He's ss but is he really that good?

Can you make a video on the best designed character from every element, regardless of the META

You really didn't bring anything new to the table .. Benny Nahida Yalan zhongli etc.. We already know they are the best by looking at the usage rate in the abyss .. I thought you would classify them based on who uses their element the best or something like that ..

Raiden is much superior to fischl in my opinion, because not only does she have insane individual damage and can carry a team, she is also incredibly good for hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, and any sort of electro application. She is also really really good with Nahida, due to her eye having practically infinite range with Nahida's hold E. Zhongli isn't "tenous" at best as the best geo character because with hold E or with cons ult, you can avoid anything. As a wise man once said, "want to not take damage? hold E. Want to not learn attack patterns? Hold E. Want to not pay taxes? Hold E".

I think there is a probability that in next region and 4.0 cryo will be more useful . And mabe pyro too because all that Hydro region thing maybe they do something new like sumero.

can u do best DPSs for every element next time 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤

Great review i personally would put Sucrose as honorable Anemo cause she’s just below Kazu and venti isn’t worth pulling for if you already have her, gorou is actually proper choice cause I haven’t try him but know my Ningguang needs more than just Zhongli to clear bosses with average build and personally would put Noelle as honorable cause she carried me and most new players, about that annoying fish girl I’m mostly biased cause I don’t like her and don’t enjoy archers as mobile player with few exceptions (Yoimiya and Yelan) but i believe Kuki aid better while Sara deserves to be honorable even if she’s underrated and tricky to use.

I think I agree with the Fischl take even tho she’s not as plug and play as raiden for hyperbloom. Fischl is the unit you slot in a lot for off-field electro

you should do best character from each nation so far

When you mention Zhongli make the game feels like easy mode due to his shield is true but sadly alot misunderstood euch sentiment and often forget thanks to his shield player that have c0 Hu Tao don't have to worry about get 1 shot from attack that nearly impossible to avoid when your stamina at 0, you can see why character where their main dmg is from charge attack need someone like Zhongli or Diona as budget Zhongli in their team very often.

Kokomi being underrated as always as a hydro unit. Should be at least in honourable mention.

A very agreeable list imo. Yes, Fischl is the best electro character because Shogun's kit was copied from her since they're both electro batteries except Fischl is more versatile.

tbf bennet Q is also cozy as you can easily swirl pyro off yourself as well without eating up what's already applied on enemy for double swirl

make the video on best charcter for each wepon

I do Agree with Fischl. Although you can just do same with Yelan and Xingqiu. Both at The top. But the Fischl's Placing makes me wonder why Miko is not their. Cuz Basically they do the same thing just Fischl being more accessible and Miko having more damage. But then again they do work together and they're formidable.

I would like to give an honorable mention to Albedo for his decent off field damage and 30sec duration his def scaling making him easy to gear, and his 125 em buff for reaction teams

I personally haven't used fishchl since I first played the game and I keep Raiden shogun on in heavy rotation so I'd personally switch them but also I'm probably not that good at this game I really just play bc the characters are dope, I'm almost positive I could be outputting more damage than I do 😅

Vídeo bom como sempre ❤

Yae Miko can already outperform Fischl, especially if constellations are involved. You mentioned that in Yelan's and XQ's case, so why not here? Also, Raiden has lots of utiliy too on the top of the DPS she provides, so i'd put her above every other electro character in the game, even if Fischl/ Yae works better with Dendro.

🌸😹It shall no doubt yield vigorous discussions betwixt the comment today, and no shortage of opinionated fervor shall be witnessed this day!😹🌸

Think the only mentioned character I haven't lucked into on my Welkin+BP account is Kokomi. Still need to C6 several four-stars (of those mentioned, got Xingqiu and am close with Fischl), but all my non-standard five-stars are C0 -- maybe one day I'll chase constellations... Even so, my pocket team has become Shogun/Xingqiu/Nahida/Zhongli. Hyperblooming _everything_ except myself. Only weaknesses are when requiring other elements, most typically Pyro, for which I usually field a C1 Diluc with the BP claymore (when I lose to him one more time, paired with Zhongli...), and uh, ranged damage, for which I'll field Ganyu unless her element or AOE charged shots are liabilities. Having picked up most of the meta characters, it's really coming down to preferences and favorites now...for which I am crumbling to _dust_ waiting on the beautiful Dr. Baizhu~ From humble beginnings soft-pitying Kazuha in 2.8 to now, where, ummm, I still haven't ground out artifacts.

THIS IS OVERALL BEST ELEMENTS, NOW I WANT TO WATCH A VERY DETAILED SUCH AS, BEST DPS EVERY SINGLE ELEMENT, BEST SUPPORT, BEST EXPLORATION TEAM ETC THX

11:38 and thats is why Yae Miko is so broken with her. Her totems attack at random which doesnt matter, everything will take the same dmg. 😎

I wouldve definitely done the same thing u did with hydro placements for anemo placements with sucrose and kazuha. One is better than the other in different scenarios. Overall, imo sucrose is the better unit considering kazuha is c0 and dosnt have freedom sworn.

Hearing when mother was there in the background made me smile so hard

Personally in my opinion I think for geo I agree that zhongli is in 1st place but i also think you should’ve put albedo at 2nd or honorable mention since he’s also somewhat universal?

For Cryo, I think while ayaka is the best dps, ganyu is probably a little better. She has better off field appliacation, comparable damage, but more playstyles.

By your own metrics, I'd say that the best picks for cryo should've ironically been Kaeya and Rosaria instead because, sure, for freeze teams Ayaka might be the best, but freeze has been benched pretty hard since 3.0 both due to dendro's power and Hoyoverse actively gimping it, whereas some newer teams mixing dendro in have emerged, but for those situations, off field application is key, so Kaeya and Rosaria are the most popular picks, perhaps with Ganyu also showing up every now and then

People need to admit the truth, Ayaka is just a Cryo Catalyst character

My Pick - Geo : Zhongli Cryo : Ayaka Pyro : Bennett Anemo : Kazuha Dendro : Nahida Electro : Fischl Hydro : Xingqiu/Yelan/Kokomi

Venti: "They used to call me the cheat-code, the one man army! Until that guy appeared!" *Looks maliciousl at Kazuha*

I agree Alhaitham and Nahida is just too strong to pair together lol I just recently used them both at the same team during this abyss rotation and didnt know they can be so good together

Guessing geo/zhongli - Anemo/Kazuha - Pyro/Bennett - Cryo/Ayaka - Electro-Raiden - Dendro/nahida - Hydro/Yelan

Your videos butter my biscuits thank you
