Top Five WORST Characters In Genshin Impact 

let's not forget xinyan's element going against the only reaction that benefits physical dmg

Hydro MC was the hardest hit for us MC mains. At least Geo is seeing use thanks to Furina and Noelle, plus Electro has use. Dendro is still a great sub-DPS and support unit for meta.

Hydro traveler feels like trying to fight with a water gun. Not even a super soaker, im talking the 99 cent ones you find at dollar tree.

we know mihoyo did ningguang dirty since day 1 say what needs to be said good sir

the only purpose u need amber is to shoot the fire monument that is far, except u have yoimiya

Ningguang was a 5* but got nerfed badly into a 4*.

Dehya dodged this list incredible. Thx hydro traveler for saving the dehya spot for you

If Genshin did what Star Rail did where they released 5 star versions of their 4 star counterparts, Ningguang definitely deserved to be one. It just really baffles me that the person who saved the entirety of Liyue was just a 4 star.

Xinyan was doomed from the start and she didn't deserve it She has such a cool design (one of my favourite in the game), nice personality, relatable backstory, great music theme... I love her (I even named my cat after her) Just why, Hoyoverse, why

12:38 Unrelated but 100% honest C6 Lisa is one of the best units in the entire game. But try getting C6 for Lisa, it's already an unbeatable challenge.

Geo should have different reactions, most of them provide a shield, hydro and geo could slow a target, with anemo could create the same effect as the mud attack from the treasure hoarders, it blinds the opponents, with dendro it spreads seed so it also gives a way to react to pyro, electro, with pyro it could create magma, and with electro it could give the party a speed boost or reduce the electro damage you take

I predicted Amber to be here, I love her personality but man who thought of her kit and let it slide. I wish they at least made her more useful, Hoyo really hates her

As a qiqi main I’ll never not stop hearing she’s the worst but that’s fine I’ll let my qiqi clear the abyss for me until there’s a room that just doesn’t like her ( idk when that will be ) but I’ll be waiting 😂.

8:20 you're looking at it wrong. The traveler's elemental powers don't mimic the archons of the respective element, they mimic the respective dragon sovereigns' powers. Hence why traveler's finger gun pew pews water droplets when compared to Neuvillette's Hydro Pump.

For ning, im surprised you didnt mention how she works okay WITH navia, because she takes up a small amount of field time for her combo. Also there is one team that capitalizes on ambers off field app, which is VV hu tao with amber on elegy. i dont really blame you for not mentioning that one tho

amber main reporting in Amber has the most intensive pyro application in the game. it is a small burst but dammmm does it apply pyro like there's no tomorrow.

Tbf the biggest problem with Qiqi is only her obnoxiously long cooldown as her energy regen can be somewhat negated with an R5 Favonious Sword. It sucks because she does have a use and her healing is more than sufficiant but in her case it's just a matter of there being better options sadly.

Ning is old mordekaiser of genshin. Too much bugs and clunky things in her kit

I haven't even unlocked Hydro Traveler so I thought they were at least decent based on Electro and Dendro being usable.

The funniest thing about Mika is that he's designed to be a physical buffer and I have only ever used him to buff normal attack catalyst

Qiqi is actually so good in coop. When I played in coop with randoms we always died easily and she was the best at keeping the team alive. There is no healer as good in coop as her because she heals a ton, can heal a whole party at once and you don't have to stay in the same spot to get healed (like with kokomi's skill, bennett ult, diona ult). Whenever someone brought her to coop we finished boss or any other domain without any issues and for this reason only I believe she has her uses and her kit is good enough as there is really no better coop healer then her (at least with random people where noone can dodge lol)

Good thing Genshin is an open world game, so even the worst characters still have a place in the game for those who just want to use them to explore the world, whereas in most other Gachas the worst characters never see the light of day.

Xinyan would probably be more viable if she were electro instead of pyro and scaled either off def or atk but not both

11:27 the only use case scenario i ever found for amber is to use 4 piece instructor set for VV vape hutao with kazuha, no other units can pull off removing yelans hydro app to trigger a reaction and have enough pyro app to use kazuhas swirl, and all of that in under 3 seconds

am i going insane or was that danganronpa music at the end

Vars you didnt talk about ningguang as a quick swap dps. She is really good with navia. Use ningguang burst and skill swap to navia burst skill and recycle.

I always feel like saying “Might as well use X character” is a mute point in Genshin. What makes a “bad” unit in Genshin is really just how difficult they are to set up and use

I agree 100% hydro traveler is objectively bad, that being said as the dedicated traveler main I am I have made it viable to clear most abyss floors. I use Furinas sword on him, Golden troupe set and pair with Zhongli, Venti and Bennet. The idea is you use bennets burst, Ventis burst and then use hydro travelers skill to shoot the crap out of the floating enemies. It wil never beat a other 5 star but the Damage is not useless.

I think hydro MC was greatly underpowered for the sole reason that because you unlock them so late into the game, there is was no need game progression-wise to make them viable at all. Compared to the other versions: Anemo MC is your 1st character ever and your main source of reaction dmg so atleast they were made useable so the player learns the basic game mechanics especially skill/burst and swapping though the team to enable reactions Geo MC was one of the the player's 1st introductions to the geo element especially if they haven't yet used the gacha system (my 1st pull happened in the middle of the 2nd archon quest for example) and not only was they a good sub dps, their skill both helped in exploration and some puzzles in liyue needed a geo construct tobe done and without geo MC, if you didn't pull a zhongli for example you would have been basically locked behind that part of map exploration. (One of the few praises I can give mihoyo is how every puzzle in genshin is f2p friendly/doable) Electro MC, while an underwhelming step compared to the pervious one, atleast introduces the element's relationship to energy which tbh maybe quite a stretch that a player who reached inazuma didn't get any other electro character other than lisa and therefore did not organically learn about that. But more than makes up for it being one of the best electro batteries in the game. Dendro MC is the prime example of my rant. Because in ver 3.0 they were the first introduction for dendro for both veterans and new players (Collei was also there but honestly for an element that lives on rapid reactions, she was too slow of an dendro applier tobe a good showcase for it), dendro MC was in my opinion overpowered as mihoyo was over pushing the dendro element and having a character that everyone has (and probably already leveled) was a very good advertisement for it making many players leave their comfort zones, trying, later loving and more importantly pulling on the new element. Hydro MC was not only obtainable in mid-late game, but because hydro is such an reaction friendly element I believe every genshin player has atleast tried it quite a bit before reaching fontaine (freeze/vape/electro-charged..etc) and dont forget barbara being everyones 1st healer. Hydro MC only job was to showcase the pneuma ousia mechanic with lynette and the HP draining kit that many fontaine characters have and therefore there was no need for mihoyo game progression-wise to make them (a free character) viable at all. Which honestly sucks for all traveler mains because if my yapping is true, pyro MC will be the exact same. TLDR: because Hydro MC doesn't teach you anything new, they were made as shitty as possible Edit: A fellow traveller showed me how good electro MC really is in being a battery.

During the start If fontaine I was really exited to see what Furina's kit would be like seeing the hydro traveler. But then we see that he is a lot more like Neuvilliette than Furina. After the archon quest, I suppose it was on purpose 😰😰😰

After playing since 1.0 started to play Amber just to feel things harder 😂

I used ningguang in mono geo team comp along with itto,zhongli and gorou. Although she might not be able to fill the demands of a main dps,she's great as a geo battery as well as a burst sub dps(mines C6). So although she might not be the strongest main dps or supporter,her burst dps is very hard to match in most instances.

Honestly, if Ningguang didn't have other problems I wouldn't even think her damage/element as being reason enough to be on this list. She can be a good quickswap or support, and can actually output pretty great DPS for a 4 star. Not on the level of actual meta carries of course but you don't need godlike artifacts/a 5 star weapon for her to do her job at an acceptable level like some other characters. IMO her main problems are just... clunkiness in her kit. Her screen disappears if a fat enemy walks near it, her particle CD being so long impedes her ability to quickly generate mass particles despite her skill reset, her NA string is inconsistent and awful and it's really annoying to try and minmax her NA/CA combos. It all adds up to her actual gameplay being more frustrating than fun, regardless of her numbers. If she was more fun mechanically I'd think she'd actually be a great character, and solidly mid tier. But mediocre numbers + feelsbad to play make her sadly close to unplayable for me.

Making this whole video without mentioning dehya is amazing lmao

Would love to see a part 2 of this vid.

Since getting Gorou a couple weeks ago, and having C5 Yun Jin, I decided to try to make a Geo team centered around Ningguang. It's...well, it's the weakest team I've played in awhile, but it's hard to compare to Neuvillette, Alhaitham, Ayaka, etc 😅

Disagree on Ningguang. She is the 2nd best 4 star main DPS unit behind gaming. Her hyper carry team dish out around 75k damage per sec on average in abyss (for example, this round of abyss floor 12 chamber 1, enemies has a total HP pool of 3.5mil and I clear in the range of 40-50sec, that's 70k-87k dps). She'll obviously be behind most 5 star main DPS's teams but she's definitely not the worst among 4 star main DPS.

I still use Amber, I like taunts and at C4+ she has my favorite taunt. I use her far more than my C2 Hu Tao even, because taunt is utility/support while Hu Tao offers only damage.

Perfect! Now I know what my next team for the Spyral Abyss looks like

Amber and Xinyan used to be my only pyro characters, and their application wasn’t enough for me to beat the Dragonspine quest (I was new to the game so I needed break and ice shield of a Lawachurl), so I went to the Spiral Abyss just to build Xiangling.

Ning Guang is not exactly an on-fielder that needs to stay long on field, same goes for Navia; both can be in the same team because they are playing quickswap style, and Ning can even buff geo damage for Navia. It's open screen, walk thru, burst, charge attack her jades, open 2nd screen, and then swap. No extended field time needed, you can swap to Navia/others. Also same reason why Keqing and Tighnari can work together. Quickswap damage dealers don't need long field time. Qiqi is just sad, the only healer I can't seem to make work with Furina. Aloy - I feel that Chongyun, a 4* unit from 1.0 of all ppl, outclasses her.

Respectfully, Ningguang shouldn't be on this list. Candace doesn't even have a good role in any team, she should be there. Regarding Hydro mc, it may be underwhelming but holy shit is it a lot of fun. I built this team with mc, nahida, kuki, collei and i had a lot of fun in the overworld. Definitely not a viable character technically speaking but I have fun with hydro mc, unlike the other characters mentioned.

5:10 there is a universe where she will be good if they implement stat caps toward the end of the game or diminishing returns which are sometimes rumoured, dual scalers may end up becoming the gods of the game, but I don't think it's worth banking on

Out of everyone here my most used one is Amber, Reason was exploration. Amber being both a pyro and bow characters is really helpful as there are chest that are covered in vines, there are the bloatty floaties, the anemo slime "puzzle" and the time challenge for bow characters. Lastly is her talent that decreased stamina when gliding.

Amber is still bad and I agree, but I will say that I found out once you get c2, you can detonate her bunnies through overload. Of course you first have to apply electro and then swap to her and use her charged attack on the enemy, but it’s nice to know there’s a way to detonate her bunny without specifically shooting at its foot.

Vars forgetting about dori again, I would argue that both qiqi and ning are much much better than dori

i still have only ever found 1 use for ambers burst pyro application, its good enough to let chongyuns burst melt all his hits. i do wish they would give small buffs(sometimes large like what hydro trav needs) to certain chars when they are just that far behind

There used to be a Niche for Amber in a Hutao team to set up Pyro swirls. Her ult pyro app was strong enough to remove Xingqiu’s hydro app and allow a VV user to swirl pyro then hydro with Xingqiu reapplying hydro afterwards. Team was Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Sucrose, Amber, but this was before double hydro was available.

As a genuine Aloy and Traveler all elements main and triple crowner(yeah it was a painfully long process to triple crown each element) i wholeheartedly agree that hydro trav is trash. -Anemo Trav is rlly bad but can at least CC to some degree. -Geo Trav is horrendous because of how the constructs collision works and how 90% of the time they either block you somewhere with the invisible collision OR you climb on them but no1 can disagree the Geo Trav dmg is respectable. -Electro Trav has piss poor dmg but is a rlly decent energy support for energy hungry character if you know how to use them. -Dendro Trav. . . . . . need i say more? Come on DMC was the top dendro unit for quite a while until Nahida came out then Alkeqing and so on,for a couple of patches DMC was top tier dendro above all others and i can safely assure everyone as a Trav main who spend alot of time on each element Dendro is your best pick for the Trav to switch to and never change. -Hydro Trav, godawful dmg,HP cost for the aforementioned dmg,lack of range and mobility while shooting and a more useless burst than the most useless thing related to Genshin ever created and that is the surveys that the devs always ignore anyway XD. Seriously tho the burst might aswel not exist,if anything the burst should just never be used,you never deal dmg with it and even if the whole universe aligns and you get 1 or 2 ticks of dmg out of it it's about 30% of what Xinqiu does when you tap his skill on an enemy Still love Aloy and all Trav elements and i will triple crown the other 2 remaining elements too, they all are useable in open world which i do mostly cuz Abyss because boring and bad so after you clear all floor for a while it becomes like a daily chore but once every 2 weeks instead of a challenging thing so i found myself not doing it anymore for the past 2 months or so but for the casual content all characters including all the ones in this video are useable.

My girl Xinyan will always be amazing and the best in my eyes. Being a dps yes, she’s not great at all, but she’s a great pyro shield if you build her right. I have over 3k defense and crowned her skill and not ONCE has it broke in abyss 12. You need to hit 3 opponents to get the best shield protection. but 2 is still great, and things can still be done with 1. People need to stop sleeping on her when she can do so much as a shielder or even a pyro applicator with her burst. I use her with Navia and even Lyney

I am surprised Dehya isn't here. Maybe because the list only goes to five instead of six. I love Dehya. She looks awesome and beautiful, her personality is cool, her (in lore) fighting style is brutal. She has so much going on. But then when it comes to gameplay, she falls apart. I don't play as much as I used to, so if Dehya went from a literal 0/10 to a 5/10, I'd still say that's a success. Unless I missed some kind of Salvation Update, Dehya's kit is...an atrocity. It's so much worse than just simply being bad. Being bad can be serviceable because at least something, even if niche, comes out of it, like some of the characters on this list. Or even just character preference. I main Keqing because I love her lore and how she plays. She is so fun to play and is my favorite Electro character to play as despite having Raiden Ei. Even if there are better opinions, Keqing is still serviceable. Dehya... Dehya's kit feels like it was kit-bashed together to the point that it goes against itself. The truth really breaks my heart considering it is one of the few times I allowed myself to get hyped. I was looking forward to her ever since she was revealed. We didn't even know her weapon back then (or her name and Vision if I remember right), so it was a long time coming. They deliberately sabotaged her. I still hold onto my crackpot theory that Hoyo used Dehya as an experiment. "Will players spend money on a character that is functionally unplayable so long as said character is smexy?" You tell me.

Hear me out: Ningguang should have been a 5-star.

I mained Amber for a year, but when I got Lyney, I let her retire 😂

An issue with this video is that you don't look at it enough from a F2P perspective. Like, saying Amber is obsolete because Yoimiya and Lynie exist. But they're both limited units so people are more likely not to have them. Barbara is the only healer players are guaranteed to have, so Qiqi can be a much needed 2nd healer. When I first got Hydro Traveler their kit seemed to me designed for the various Fontaine field puzzles (pea shooter to fill up the containers and such). But I keep them as geo anyways since extra footholds are much more useful in general. Surprised Dehya isn't on the list. But maxing her HP to make her immortal is all kinds of useful. She won't die on Dragonspine, and I have a feeling Natlan will have high heat areas she will similarly trivialize.

if anyone has an aquila favonia sword (or the flute) and just wants to give qiqi some love, i have a super good team that can get through anything.. even the hardest abyss sections. I use a team that has qiqi (clam set), nahida (deep wood set), yelan (emblem set) and raiden on paradise lost set but she can also use gilded dreams. basically qiqi is the on-fielder since she heals with her normal attacks. her artifact set benefits a lot from it and you will get that 30k bubble pop every time. everybody on the team is an off field support, so that gives qiqi the privilege to be the on-fielder for her heals lol. the reason why i chose these characters to be on her team, is because hyperbloom is a super strong reaction that can make anyone who works with it look good. qiqi's cryo doesn't really interfere with the hyperblooms. another reason why the team is hyperbloom specifically, and not burgeon, is because cryo and electro make super conduct which makes physical dmg stronger. the clam set qiqi uses actually does go above 30k when it pops after super conduct (even though it says it doesn't count as physical dmg). reasons why i use this team over most other teams is that this team is literally immortal. with qiqi, nobody ever dies. also there's literally nothing that this team can't kill. name it and it's dead by the qiqi team lmaoo oh and i forgot to say that you gotta build qiqi with full on atk, with healing bonus as the circlet. and build raiden with full em with dragon's bane because she's the one triggering the hyperblooms. and also build nahida more as a dps rather than just full on em.. bc she only buffs the character on field with her em bonus, and qiqi doesn't need the em... give nahida em sands, dendro goblet, and crit rate circlet bc you should already have crit dmg if you're using the widsith.

I thought I was imagining things but it was really a danganronpa ost, cool

Since it's Vars, Dehya is likely going to be in this. *Doesn't include Dehya* A suprise to be sure, but a welcome one! They still did Pyro Claymore version of Raiden so dirty. Some people even try to cope by calling her a "tank". Instead of embracing that Chevreuse and Furina were in-direct buffs to her. Especially C6 Chevreuse for Carry Dehya.

I think a better concept for this kind of video would be the worst (limited) 5 stars since it's really expected that a lot of 4 stars and version 1 standard units would be considerably weaker alternatives to most 5 star options by version 4

8:10 actually, it’s been theorized that the Traveller’s elemental skill is linked, or a reflection of the dragon sovereign of that particular element instead of the Archons

Love the danganronpa music in the background!

Tbh i never understood why people hate on Ninnguang . I use her as burst sub dps, since tbh her burst locks on way more compared to others. And I love Qiqi but i kind of agree with what Vars said, and sadly i think Debuffing might be what the cryo archon does.😭 i Hope we get a Qiqi signature weapon, in her Story quest thing. Cuz i use Amenoma on her 😅

I think the only time i used amber was back in that abyss cycle where if you ran mono element you got major boosts, thats it, at least she can hold elegy...?

Ningguang is a great support character, since in addition to having the Geo boost, she generates tons of Geo particles, can equip either Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers or Prototype Amber, and her extremely cheap Burst means that she can spam the Noblesse's or Exile's 4 piece set buffs on cooldown, assuming that you don't stick an Archaic Petra on her and buff your other party members' elemental damage by 40%.

I'm glad I have all five mentioned, but I don't plan to use them other than for building friendship.

Damn, I remember when you were making RotMG content, look how far you've come :'o

The traveler actually mimics more the elemental dragons than the archons, like the seed of Apep matching their EB, and their shooting water matching Neuvillette. Tornados more like Dvalin.

Got early pity for Xiao and got excited a week ago ish. Then Qiqi appeared on my screen instead. I've been coping ever since- I do, thankfully, have a team that suits her okay. I've been running a Gaming melt team, alongside Benny, Chongyun, and Diona. Qiqi replaced Diona. With Chongyun around, she seems to get her burst back quickly enough, and she keeps Gaming alive when Benny's ult isn't up so I'm pretty happy. I lost out on a shield but tbh I don't find myself needing it much anyways. It's a fun team to run with and I'm not constantly dead so I'm pretty happy. They're just an overworld team for now since none of them are over level 70 and absolutely will get crushed in abyss or in a boss fight, I have hyperbloom and electro-charged for that lol, we'll see how they hold up at higher levels with tougher fights

Amber is a support unit, she can replace bennett in some teams using elegy (her burst activate it almost in an instant) and instructor. Because her burst infusion is so fast it will let you swirl pyro even when furina's pets are attacking. Her buffs doesn't suffer from limited area, but the real obstacle is the difficulty to get her c6 (she is still good even without that). And if you think baron bunny is weak you just played wrong. Bunny can be infused with cryo which means you can double swirl against single target, or even swirl cryo against Thunder Manifestation, Tulpa or others (a bit technical). To be practical main attacker in abyss she needs c4 though, while most attackers c1, navia c0. She is still the fastest cryo shield breaker in the game. Definitely easier to use compared to Xinyan. If you think characters are weak and shouldn't be played, you just want to play "easier difficulty". Playing difficult to use characters is playing on a higher difficulty, which gamers actually prefer. That's why when someone full star abyss with Amber solo on one side, everyone was amused.

Other people care about DPS, support, stats and other stuff. I just play with the characters i find cute and good looking

12:31 WHAT DID WE DO😭

Where Dori at?

...Thank you for this. Now I know what to pull for to create the worst team combo. Thanks^^❤

Ahh Ningguang…. I use her in an itto team but it hurts that I can never use her c6 in that team, it just takes too much time. She always makes me feel like I wish I had albedo (or maybe chiori going forward)

Very good pick of 5 worse chars. About Ningguang I can totally relate to your explanation. Have used her exactly how you explained her. Xinyan I never used in an actual fight, she definitely belongs in this list and I should put her bottom last. Qiqi is in my account only good for harvesting trees since her consecutive hits are the fastest. I have 1 use for the Hydro Traveller, to perform the pneuma/ousia required attack against the Narwal due lack of better Fontaine chars. And also Amber has one task, to shoot the poles at the end of the electro hypostase fight, since she is most effective in that part. Since Amber has one task on my account and Xinyan zero is why I switch their bottom ranking.

Just levelled Amber, for the against the odds gameplay and a travelling party. Let's wait for mihoyo to release some narrow artifact set that quadruples explosives and even she will shine.

I agree 100% with everything you've said. As a Eula main...your joke was funny :3

dangg, this hits really hard no wonder i quit genshin not long after the first lantern rite my team - xinyan dps - qiqi healer - xingqiu support - ningguang for second dps

"Genshin doesnt really have ways to debuff enemies" Viridescent Venerer and Anemo MC: "Are we a joke to you?"

Love the danganronpa music in the background

7:07 doesn’t qiqis c4 reduce the enemy’s attack when they have a talisman on them?

Only note is that the travelers skills aren’t related to the archon but to the dragon of the element. Compare dendro to apep or hydro to neuvillette or anemo to dvalins tornadoes. Lore reminder: archons have the role that originally belonged to the dragons and archons are the holders of the gnosis which, according to skirk a gnosis are the remains of descenders (which the traveler is). Also compare the traveler to the archons. For example Zhongli is all about shields but geo trav has no shield.

Just my thoughts using these characters. I want to build Amber as I have her C6, but her skill is much better if you leave it unleveled and I sadly leveled mine early into game. (Mihoyo, please let me unlevel it!) Yeah, Hydro MC is a lost cause. I honestly believe they were made so that no other character would ever have to be called the worse unit in the game. I’ve enjoyed using Qiqi ever since clam set came out. I think that set will always be relevant to her given the damage ignores 100% of enemy defense on an AoE off-field attack. I really enjoy using Xinyan with roll-DPS Sayu. While the shield is important for the interruption resistance, Xinyan temporarily applies Pyro to the whole team giving Sayu a 100% chance to swirl into Pyro, if both skills are used immediately after the other, which can let you dedicate a team around Pyro swirl interactions. I haven’t built Ningguang as I somehow don’t have her C6. I would imagine her Geo auto-attacks would at least make her one of the best candidates for Archaic Petra and being a TTDS user is her best path as a support character which is rather sad.

it's been a while since I've played Genshin, have they fixed Xinyan's shield bug yet?

fontaine made a healer meta so hopefully natlan will make a shielder meta and xinyan could shine more by being a dps and a shielder, similar to noelle being a healer and dps

All fair calls. However, I think you could follow up with work-arounds for their weaknesses. e.g. I only use Ningy as a burst DPS and Amber as a Noblesse buffer because of their energy-efficient bursts. QiQi with Ocean-Hued Clam, Sac Sword, and 3 other off-fielders doesn't care about energy or low damage, just filling that bubble with healing before it pops.

Make a top 10 "barely hanging on" list. Characters who arent bad but arent great either and are so unoptimized and flawed despite still having a niche it would be very easy to replace them if someone just sligthly better comes out and thus they are barely hanging on to their niche.

I feel like you could make a video on shielders, because ever since Sumeru came out I feel like people use them less and less, it may be because the release ratio is way more healer sided, ever since Sumeru we got only 2 shielders (3 with Baizhu but he can also heal) and 6 heales (7 with Baizhu) if I am not mistaken

Haven’t pulled a Qiqi yet. Got all the other Standard chars but Qiqi

i think a duo pyro geo team with chiori, xinyan yunjin/albedo, and chevruse/xianngling could be pretty good actually, max out the def and attack bonuses from elemental resonance. thinkin abou how xinyan has an atk/def dual scale woth some of her stuffs, just a though that came to my silly little head tho edit: awh not qiqi, also even if enemies dont have the talisman she still heals on hits, when she's attacking anyone and has her skill active she will heal everyone in the party

Title: 5 Worst Characters in G.I Me: Alright then, time to build these unit, Challenge Accapted

I think ning is great for early game like you said, maybe one of the best even with her projectile blocking and even decent overworld exploration since she can crack ores. But yeah being a geo 4 star even if you build her with great artifacts she just cant compete late game. She was my first main dps so i still brought her to the top with me haha.

You are absolutely right about Hydro MC, after Dendro MC which i still use in my Nilou team, Hydro MC is such a letdown i forgot it's even an option. I wouldn't honestly put Amber on the list though, most of the game is exploration and doing pyro puzzles without her is way too annoying or even impossible unless you have Yoimiya (Lyneys AOE can mess up some puzzles). Instead i would put Kaveh on the list as much as it pains me, to this day i haven't been able to make a team where i would pick him over literally any other dendro character.

uses for each character: Ningguang: can be a worthwhile early to mid game(before ar 40 or so) hypercarry for players with a limited resources and characters, since she works by herself. Also can be used as a geo battery and a quickswap Q nuker. qiqi:same as above but using superconduct, and she carries even harder with her healing. Amber: lights torches and is bow, good for exploration role compression. xinyan: no clue. Hydro mc: He has an instance of arkhe damage I guess. Kinda worthless though.

You have no idea what Nninguang is capable of.

Real shame about Ningguan, my first 5* weapon was skyward atlas early and she was the only unit for me to use it properly, so I built her and I really enjoyed using her in the earlier game, but now as time has progressed and I have gotten different units, I basically robbed her of all the good artifacts and the weapon to give it to Xianyun, which is just alot more fun to play. I just use her occasionally for old times sake and her damage isn´t bad(for me) not great either, also she feels kinda slow and sluggish, especially compared to Xianyun

Every talks about how getting cons for the three starter chars is super difficult and here I am stuck with C1 Kaeya, C2 Amber, and like C3-4 Lisa(I haven’t checked her in a while) :’>

Pyro MC can be good if they just give them a kit that plays well with Bennett and/or Xiangling. Imagine if Pyro MC or the Pyro Archon can boost Base ATK with one of their abilities. That would make them a good support for every ATK scaling character in the game.

I’ve always thought Xinyan should’ve had an ascenscion that buffs base damage if attack and defense stats have a diference of less than like 250 points, a bit like Owain’s talent from Fire emblem

Ning is one of my fave characters. If I wanna use her for on field, competitively in Abyss, I just run hyperbloom, ehe. If not, then burst DPS for her ult, so baso jade screen, ult, charged aa.

C6 Amber is used in HuTao VV vape speed runs, but only wales do so
