Top 10 Characters You Should Build in Genshin Impact 4.0 

Wishlist Astra: Knights of Veda NOW on Steam:wehy.pe/y/10/Mtashed The Art style is really cool, and the combat reminds me of old beat em up games!

bro actually seems like he doesn't hate his life this vid, im shook

To new players, take note that Defense and Resistance are different things. Mtashed mistakenly mentions Kazuha and Jean shredding defense, but he means resistance.

I would also recommend to build YaoYao, dendro character, easy to build, and a fast healer when you ult.

@10:22 To add on a little bit more info to Kokomi, as a unit, she's also the most artifact efficient character in the entire game, up to this point. Firstly, because you don't have to worry about crit stats, this makes building her much easier. Secondly, there's a very wide variety of artifact sets that not only work with her, but they work quite well. You've got a standard healer/damage dealer hybrid build with the clam set, or you can use the thrilling tales + tenacity set on her. BUT, you can also use her to carry your dendro res-shred artifact carrier, allowing Nahida or another dendro character to use gilded dreams. Or, you can use Kokomi as a driver for reaction based teams, focusing on HP and EM, while using her as a turret to mow down enemies at a distance. You can also use a wanderer's trope artifact set, with an EM catalyst (building EM and HP stats) and have her use her charged attack to vape pyro to do some fairly high f2p friendly damage, with this method being the only way she can do more than 100k damage in a single hit.

Yelan is xingqu but a lot nicer to look at 💀 4:45

Got Keqing as a new player wayyyyy before inazuma. She was my first 5 star. She is excellent for exploration to get higher up! And so fun to play. I have stuck with her all this time.

When Kuki came out, I copped with her by using a physical build so i was really happy when dendro came out.

Thanks for making these videos, I really enjoy them and are useful for new players like me ❤

I’d just like to point out Yaoyao. She’s an insane healer (can outheal Bennet/Kokomi) while also providing more dendro reactions for your teams. She’s extremely cheap to build (hp/hp/healing % or hp) and shares the same artifact set as many other dendro units (deepwood). Her best in slot for f2p is literally a 3* the black tassel. I’d also like to point out Yoimiya as an insane dps for players on mobile. Her normal attack play style makes rotations easy and effective. Her artifacts can also be farmed in a popular artifact domain (emblem of severed fate/shimenawa’s)

Man it makes me feel so happy that he is finally playing the game not with frustration but with really trying to enjoy it.felt like the old tashman was back

As a person who had diluc since he first came out, i love him on every squad i put him in, to me he is the best pyro character in the game

I want to add crowd control units; kazuha likely won't come back for a couple of months, venti might come soon but Nahida was actually the unit that helped me through my cc-less days (I didn't get even just sucrose until AR 53) bc of nahida's linking ability, you kinda get a cc effect and she helps clear groups on enemies so quickly. Also her collecting ability in the overworld is just really useful. I'd definitely prioritize her over venti rn since dendro can clear so much more for most of the game

I really missed this kind of guides you make cause they are really helping me out! And I’m in love with the way you explain things! I do really enjoy watching your videos! ❤

Pretty much covered all my personal recommendations as well. The only ones I feel worth adding here would be Kaeya and Beidou (although she would be subject to the same reasoning as Fischl's here) just because they both can be incredibly strong and can scale well through late-game.

i like that you kept in the multiple takes of the line at the end. very authentic

If you're only just starting on the game I would recommend just building characters that is mostly on that region, mainly on Monstadt and Liyue continent it will be more easy for you to level up the characters and their talents. If you got this characters early game I would recommend using them in the early game (Kaeya, Rosaria, Bennett and Xiangling) (Sucrose, Fischl, Beidou and Xingqiu) if you want to use hyperbloom right away you can use (Barbara/Xingqiu, Dendro Traveler(as the video state you can sprint to Sumery and resonate with dendro element), Lisa and Zhong li if you will get him on the next banner). For me if you're between AR 15 to 40 that's my recommended team to use if you got them.

Xiangling, Xingqiu, Sucrose, Bennett, Fischl, Kuki, Nahida, Kazuha, Zhongli, and Kokomi would be my top picks as a 1.0 player with a stacked account. They all are super versatile in a lot of teams, very strong, and fun to play in my opinion.

honestly fischl carried me in early game and she's basically necessary for dendro teams. she's a great battery and she can hit like a truck with the right artifacts. don't sleep on fischl y'all she's one of the strongest (and most comfy) characters in the game

great vid as always tash. i’m late to the party but still these vids hold up because the OG 4 star units are still so amazing. i made the mistake of going only for dps units on my first account and no good supports so im restarting and guides/recommendations like these always clutch.

Great vid bro Been following you for a couple years now just do what’s best for you ❤

Anyone else waiting for Furina in 4.2? 😈

You should speak about the important concept of off-field elemental application. Yae miko's use in dendro teams, Ayato and Ganyu burst, Freeze comps. Also, you should speak about ICD of element application and the units with altered ICDs

I was so excited to see you make a video like this 😊

Was waiting for a vid like this!

From an ex meta slave / theory crafting enjoyer to new players: There is probably no character that has more value on an account than Xingqiu. Absolute must build unit with the best single target hydro application by far (at c6 about twice as much as Yelan if I remember it right), insane damage output (at c6 about equal to Yelan because it's also easier to buff) and really underrated defensive utility (take up to ~50% less dmg + most of the time more than enough heal to make up for it). Xingqiu has always been insane but with the release of dendro, he even surpassed Bennett according to Zajef. There is actually not a single case in combat where Xingqiu can't AT LEAST keep up with Yelan and most of the time he is straight up just better. Together they are even better tho. Also, he is one of the easiest characters to get and c6 because he is free in the Liyue event every year and he is also in the starglitter shop rotations. Anyways, Xingqiu is my #1 recommendation to literally every player, no matter how good their account is.

NPC become human(i love the shorts😂)

So far your opinion aligns well with mine. This is why I watch your videos. Keep posting videos like this, it's helpful for some of us

You could also get Alhaitham when his banner comes since he makes exploration and domains a lot quicker and easier. Also I noticed you haven't recommended Ganyu this time around and you main her

For a brand new player who probably won’t have sucrose and they want to wish for yelan and you get Lynette constellations plus the free you get she’s a great option. She makes exploring good and she may not be as good as sucrose imo she’s still gonna be a very good Anemmo support unit and she’s gonna help with the new Fontaine region and the new mechanics there.

Fischl and Kuki don't compete. Fischl is the cornerstone of the aggravate team comp, while Kuki is such for hyperbloom with Raiden. It is funny that he recommends Keqing right after because of aggravate, when it is in truth Fischl who carries that team; Keqing is just there to provide the electro reaction to trigger Fischl's A4.

Loving the amount of uploads recently

Thank you for making this video, helped me a lot

I honestly think that Beidou is very underrated, maybe because she doesnt work with Raiden, but still if you get her constellations she is an insanely good sub-dps and can honestly replace fishl in some team comps

Yaooyao and Kirara were overlooked, in my opinion. As a new player, I don't think it's a good use of primos to spend them on Zhongli or Kokomi so it's more worth your resources to build the 4* healers. Bennett is free in 4.0 so that's covered. On the otherside, he mentioned Diona which is great but after her, I think the dendro healers are the best to build. They can fill the flex slot in bloom and quicken teams very well until you have the primos for Kokomi or Baizhu.

You actually seemed very passionate when talking about builds. Surprised you dont do more vids on them!

This is the Mtashed we like!!! He seems comfortable and happy talking about this topic

Really love this type of videos, you are so good making guides, and I understand that you burn out of the game but feeling you this calm is so much better than hearing you hating😅 I love and suport all your genshin videos mtashed keep the good work 🤗🤗

I always loved xiangling from the start even before i got her that mine as of now is c3 and almost level 90 that this shows shes really worth building. Im a cosplayer so i even got to cosplay as her that i cant wait to be her for hoyofest in my country this october

Good video little bit of a hiccup at the end, great advice. One major addition would be Yao Yao great in almost any dendro team, easy to build.

Awesome video! I agree with everything you said. This will surely help a lot of new players.

Ayaka, Mona comp has been my favourite since Ayaka first released and I’m still entertained perma freezing everything I face and she shreds everything in abyss. Her speed in dash form is also so fast I use them and kaz for ultimate ease in exploration.

15:26 I thought I was lagging man 😭😭😭

Hey buddy!!!!! It's really great seeing you again!!!!! I really enjoy your content with genshin.

Man, it's so good to see you happy.

At this point it doesn't even matter for me anymore since ive fully built all the existing 4 stars and the 5 stars i pulled💀 help me im dying

You can talk about the best 4/5 star character from each element for the new players. I always think it is nice to have a good unit from each element.

15:30 love the content, even those types of moments smh keep it up tashed man

Ive had one too many hiatuses. The last time i played was in 2.8. i was so overwhelmed by how much the meta have changed. This video is really helpful.

I agree with you, Tartaglia is very very good, but is not for everyone if you are not careful with rotations, so here's where Ayato comes in, he's good and fun as well. Those two are awesome.

Someone that he should’ve mentioned whilst explaining nahida is nilou. Practically the easiest unit to build( I have her stacked hp as much as possible, she uses a level 1 dull blade, and talent doesn’t matter). And her team consist of two free characters, Collei/dendro traveler and Barbara. Ofc if you have kokomi or other dendro characters you could switch them. But I’ve been using the nilou nahida barbara collei team and it slaps hard. I’ve played the game since 1.2 and in my opinion this is by far the best team you can get. Easy investment, high damage, and fun

Wirh Lynette being a free 4* anemo and not locked behind content, she will be a good character to build as well if you dont have sucrose/venti/kazuha. Lynnette may not have the crowd control but her swirl and shred will be very effective

Almost 2 months into genshin and loving these guides :)

Yanfei is also a good pryo support/ sub dps for her charged atk dmg She gives sheld on her c4 And extra damage on her charged atk on c6 Very versatile with most of the craftable weapons Crimson witch set with crit rate or element mastery makes her a very good damage dealer 🔥🔥🔥

If you're new, these are into the must pulls, because they enable comps and buff other characters a lot and arent particularly boring: - Nahida - Kazuha - Nilou if you like her (niche but incredibly strong) - Bennett, Xingqiu and Xiangling, Kuki Everything else after that imo, isn't super important and the same role can be filled by different characters. Id say if you build these units, everything else that you raise doesnt matter in in terms of power, cause they can play in great teams as long as they are supported by these units. Yelan or Raiden for example are great, but kinda a premium, like they dont define the way you play (Xingqiu and Kuki do the same as them for example) so you can pull them if you want, but they dont define teams like these other units do.

Worthy list of characters to build. Well done. Also, good luck with Yelan's C1. It's an absolute joy to use that skill twice.

Haven't played the game for a month but its nice to see this guy playing the game again.

Quick shoutout to Alhaitham being one, if not, the best ftp friendly 5 star character out there :)

I'm actually having a lot of fun using 4 stars nowadays. Any 5 star will carry your account. Pull/build the characters who you love and want to play :)

This is probably one of the best new player guides I've seen in a while. I do Genshin coaching and will point people to this video as a reference.

Notable 4 stars for me. that cam work in multiple scenario. YaoYao - Dendro, healer. Kuki - Electro healer, excellent for hyperbloom. Xingqiu - Hydro, damage reduction, abit healing. Beidou - Electro, damage reduction. Has shield with cons. Yanfei - Pyro, excellent shielder with Cons 4. Thoma - Pyro, shielder, can work in burgeon. Razor - Eula 4*. Kaeya - Cryo, good dmg Lisa - Electro, can work on hyperbloom/electro-charged. Amber - Pyro, supportive with Eledgy. Dionna - Cryo, shielder, healer, EM boost (Cons 6) Sucrose - Anemo, grouper, shares EM.

My recommended limited five stars would be Kazhua ( comfort ) Raiden ( mommy ) Wanderer ( travel ) Yelan ( sub DPS ) Ganyu ( most efficient DPS ) Nahida ( dendro application ) Childe ( most fun character in the game ) Venti ( mob killer )

As a Yelan haver that pulled her last banner congrates on getting her tashed man and yeah I can confirm she is one of the best units in the game not only in the abyss but also the overworld where she almost never leaves my part because of her running ability alone lol

I think Miko and Nahida are must builds. Them both toghther is super powerful too and you can kill enemies with little effort which some times you want when you feel lazy.

Can't wait to get Bennet so I won't have to use barbara as support anymore lol

feels good having you back talking Genshin Mtash !

100% agree on the Yelan C1, it makes exploration way better and faster especially if you dont have the time for it but need to do it.

this changes everything

I know everyone hates her but Qiqi is such a good healer. Her cds are long but the ascension passive is enough to always be on full health. Has been so helpful in a lot of situation and shes also easy to build honestly

Noce vid tashed man as always, love ya vid budd...

Useful guide Thanks

Bro, I TOTALLY agree. Hu Tao AND Ganyu are in that tier of “Really strong but boring imo” You won’t regret using them in abyss, but…..idk if I’d ever call them “fun”. But that’s just me. Some people love charge shoting like it’s going out of style. Also, some characters like Lyney and Tighnari are ALSO charge shot users, but…idk what it is, I find them WAY more fun to play. Their rotations are just slightly more engaging

‘Yelan is xingque but way nicee to look at’😂

I gave up on Kuki a long time ago but somehow kept going back to her and didn’t know why. I hyper invested in her and don’t regret it.

got my Keqing/Kuki Shinobu/Qingqiu/Collei team going and my goodness is hyperbloom so easy to build and fun to do! Keqing was my first 5* pull when the game came out and I'm glad to come back and see her working a lot better with dendro being added to the game.

I think you need to move fischl into the xingqiu/xiangling/Bennet tier. She got absolutely blasted to the top with dendro.

I know it’s not everyone’s recommendation but for me it was Yae who helped me clear abyss the first time. Yae became incredibly good with Nahida, surely you can easily replace her with Fischl and Kuki but for me she’s the best.

Exactly the guide I needed! I don't care much about stats, just wanted to see how fun these characters can be

i came back to your channel and was surprised that you came back to genshin. I've left myself cuze i got bored but maybe i should come back as well great video as always!

Boys, we got him back, now,,let him cook!!

Guys I will make a top 3 here 1- is Bennet (no need to say why lol) 2-xanling(w/Bennet=ultimate boost And I still don't know how to spell her name lol 3-water boi-(a very good hydro applying unit work with almost every pyro dps and with xanling There are a lot more if you have any questions just reply me

I just got Tighnari as my first ever 5 star in the standard banner as my 4th summon! Real happy I got em and my prior summon to him was Yaoyao. I just started the game too from last week and from Beginner's Wish I got Bennett, Sucrose, Barbara, Razor and Noelle.

Freeze teams in general are really nice for ftp because you get a lot of free crit rate and the best possible CC in the game

Kuki is an archon of hyperbloom. Period. Pair her with Nahida and Ayato and you'll never be forced to use elemental bursts, just E everything into dust. And you still have a flex slot to put your waifu/husbando or a useful for exploration character in.

Since you recommended her teammates, Nilou. Nilou bloom is one of the best and easiest comps in the game to play.

Been watching your stuff again lately..this is a W video too..thumbs up from me 👍

You should make comps list for every character that's your specialty Mtashed

ayaka is so busted op even at a0... i strongly suggest anyone who has her who isn't using her to build her right. she's utterly worth it.

This "top 10 builds" is always gonna be heavily situational. If you have Kazuha then building Sucrose could be quite pointless for example. If you play a lot of Hypecarries you'll want Zhongli, but if you play a lot of Dendro or Quickswap teams you'll want Kokomi. Likewise, if you plan to use Raiden in Hyperbloom, you might have no need to build Kuki. And so on.

Thanks for your advices

Glad to see the tier list barely changed overtime with what was good still being good lol Kinda surprised and glad that kuki had a spot on mtashed list. Wasnt the best whe she came out but remenber how usefull she was on my teams as a healer atack% buffer set on E dmg or just a respectfull passive dmg healer with the clam set at the time

Yelan over Xingqiu any day of the week imo

Hutao is the only regret pull I have in my account

I would definitely build those characters that I didn’t get a chance to build on my main due to the anxiety of clearing the abyss. Sayu, Mika Lynette etc.

Good core team units enable you to pick up any new 5 star that comes in more easily, getting at least one dendro team going is essential and building 2 is advisable.

Hot take that I know will made people mad: Sucrose is one of those characters that people always pretend is the best thing since sliced bread because TCers love her but the cold hard truth is she's clunky and feels like shit to play. She is one of those characters that people say is amazing just because other people are saying she's amazing but she has less than 1% usage rate for a reason, she's just not fun. Mtashed is recommending her and saying she's OP but even his Sucrose is level 60 and neglected and he's a huge meta slave, that's all you need to know. She has her uses but the days of getting easy C6 Sucrose are long gone now that the 4* pool is oversaturated. If you're a new player, just get Kazuha and call it a day. Don't fall for the Sucrose meme.

just started playing Wayfinder and its so good compared to genshin

My favorite character currently is Wanderer. He's SS tier in exploration and his power level is surprisingly good. He's flexible and easy to play. Have a great time with him exploring teyvat and stomping enemies out of existence lol. Yelan is my second favorite unit.

A new player getting C1 Bennet just from a lucky banner pull and the upcoming freebie event is probably the best thing this 4.0 patch has provided to accounts long-term wise.

Best video soo farr ❤❤❤
