The Cryo element is associated with ice. It can trigger elemental reactions like Superconduct, Melt, and Freeze. Teams like permafreeze usually compose of two Cryo characters because they create an elemental resonance wherein CRIT rate against enemies affected by Cryo is increased by 15%. Same with Pyro, this element has the greatest number of characters so far, having 10 characters. Let’s dive into each one’s notable skills, passives, and constellations. Aloy Genshin players aren’t really impressed with Aloy as she is actually a character from Horizon Zero Dawn, a Playstation-exclusive video game. She is a five-star bow user given for…

Alongside Cryo, the element Pyro has the most characters in the game so far. And that’s valid because Pyro is such a good damage dealer. Its elemental resonance is also used by a lot of players, as having two Pyro characters in the party increases ATK by 25%. Pyro can cause Overload, Vaporize, Melt and Burning. The best Pyro characters can deal lots of damage and elemental reactions as well as shield your characters. Most of them are DPS-worthy, while others can be built as support. Xinyan I rarely see Xinyan players in the game, and that’s because a lot…

Electro is the best element when it comes to dealing elemental reactions. With it, you can conduct Overload, Electro-charged, and Superconduct. But Electro can also stand on its own. When breaking enemy shields, there are usually certain elements you have to apply in order to break them. With Electro, you don’t have to constantly switch out characters. There are currently 8 Electro characters in the game. Not all characters are well-rounded, so it’s important that you take note of each characters’ traits to maximize their damage. Razor Though I see a lot of players build Razor more as a physical…

It’s honestly hard to rank the best Geo characters because everyone can do big damage. Geo does not react with other elements, but rather Crystallizes. The Crystallize reaction creates a shield that can absorb all elements, though it will absorb the same element that you reacted with more efficiently. There are currently 7 Geo characters in the game. Most of them can make Geo constructs, while some of them can create a shield aside from those built by Crystallize. Noelle Noelle is almost in every ranking article: best shield, best healer, and now one of the best Geo characters. Though…

Anemo is one of the first elements to be introduced in the game, as it was the first element to be acquired by the Traveler. Anemo is best known for triggering elemental reactions through Swirl, which deals elemental damage of the involved element while spreading the element out. This causes more enemies to be affected by the element. Anemo is also known for its crowd control abilities, where enemies can be pulled altogether to make attacks easier or knocked back to avoid being inflicted damage. There are currently 6 Anemo characters in the game (excluding the Traveler), with only two…

Hydro is an underrated element in the Genshin community. It can deal lots of elemental reactions such as Vaporize (deals twice the Hydro DMG), Electro-charged (deals Electro DMG over time), and Frozen. Hydro characters are usually seen as supports or healers, but with the right artifacts and weapons, they can be good enough to be used as main DPS. As of writing, there are 5 Hydro characters (soon to be 6 with Kamisato Ayato)! This article ranks all the currently best Hydro characters in the game. See what makes each character unique by diving into their notable skills, passives and…

Ever wonder why most players have already collected the name card of a new character when their banner has just been released? Sometimes it even takes them just less than a month! The answer to that is by earning Companionship ExP. You can obtain lots of these in a day by doing tons of things in-game, not just the daily commissions. There are still numerous ways to obtain them. This guide will show you how. But First, What Is Companionship ExP? Companionship ExP is used to increase friendship level with your obtained characters. All characters can obtain Companionship ExP except…

There are two types of players: the ones who heal by consuming lots of recovery dishes, and the ones who bring a healer. Some players prefer consuming recovery dishes for their party to maximize the four slots, while others prefer the latter to avoid wasting time switching out all your characters just to restore them back to health. This article ranks all the available healers in the game as of writing. In here, we list down all the skills, passives and constellations that’ll help maximize the character’s healing ability. Xingqui While Xingqui is technically not a healer, some players consider…

When setting up your party, you usually have your typical setup: a DPS, a sub-dps or two, and a healer. However, if you want to avoid all the dodging when battling with enemies, you can consider bringing a shield character. Certain characters can gain shields by using their skills, by activating their constellations, or through the Crystallize elemental reaction. The duration of these shields can be based on their maximum HP or defense, so it’s important that you read the skill descriptions first before building your shield characters. Beidou Aside from being one of the best DPS due to her…
