The Only Characters You Actually Need In Genshin Impact (Updated 2024)

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of xiangling. I try to play diluc. My xiangling deals more damage. I try to play yoimiya. My xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Hu tao. My xiangling deals more damage. I want to play Klee. Her best team has xiangling. I want to play raiden, childe. They both want xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull engulfing lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with homa." I can't pull for homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world Edit: I've started a world war 3

Neuvillet is the most F2P friendly DPS because you don't have to build a team around him. He is the entire team.

It's also worth mentioning how valuable Sucrose is in crafting. She will make the material grind way more manageable.

bro imagine how insane genshin would be if it wasn't a gacha game.

Just a constant reminder to pull any character you want or like, the amount of damage you deal doesn't matter if you're not having fun (unless you're into that and flex it online.) Or you don't like the gameplay, just get any character whether they're meta or not and enjoy the game 😊

I feel like you should have mentionned Yaoyao as a budget-friendly dendro character that consolidates good dendro application and very high healing. Her constellations don't even bring much, so she's perfect at C0 !

I feel like the pyro archon will have very good offfield pyro applications that she becomes better than xiangling at that role. Edit:she might not have faster application than Xiangling ,but would have a better uptime.

Zhongli's actually a REALLY good training character because he allows you to observe (most) enemy actions and reactions without fear of death. Double Hydro Zhongli team simply for scoping boss AI.

I appreciate your videos so much! My 16yo son plays this a lot and he got me into it recently. He has tried to “teach me the way” 😂 but alas, I find that your videos are so much easier to understand. I am only AR 12, but I am thoroughly enjoying the game so far and have been following your guidance on what to focus on as a new player. I appreciate you! Thank you as always! 🦈❤

Furina's healing ability is overlooked by most people, but its usefulness cannot be overstated in the overworld. Whether you're farming domains or just wandering around, you can usually top out your party's HP in less than 10 seconds without needing to use a burst. It also makes Hu Tao a viable overworld character, since you never need to worry about her HP drain while fighting mobs. For those who have them, I cannot recommend the BluTao core highly enough. Just add a healer and the support of your choice, and you can handle just about anything the game throws at you.

If anyone wants a dps go for Nuvilete without thinking. He is the best dps in the game mathematically rn. And his 2nd bIs is craftable. He can solo a side of abyss by himself. I wish I got him but damn I will get him next time

Nice video, excellent for beginners but for veteran’s mindset as well. Fully agree but I’d put more emphasis on Neuvillette. He might be an onfield DPS but he’s very strong even alone, including being able to heal himself. A one man army. Just need Raiden and Nahida now, thankfully I was able pick practically everyone on your list, with exception of Venti, which I don’t really need. For those in need of Kuki, she’s on banner now. Sniped one at low pity on Ayato’s banner. Totally worth it.

Neuvillette C0 is strong already and next his Rerun i want C1for 100% immune intruption!!

Very good guide! My only nitpick is that you didn't mention that Furina is best used in teams that are not based on transformative elemental reactions. Essentially, I think she was designed to buff all other teams that want a hydro off-fielder much more than she buffs e.g. hyperbloom.

I think Baizhu is worth a mention, not only can he drive on field dendro, buff dendro dmg, and heals a ton, in the comfort tier, he gives interuption resistance aswell, denfinitly a comfy character to use

the way my zhongli and kokomi literally carry me through the entire game when everyone originally said they both sucked😍😍

This is a really helpful video. As a newbie with zero previous gaming experiance and playing on mobile I was stuggling to see what charaters I need. Im also pretty bad at aiming cause my reactions are a little slow so its good to see who I should pull for, to build strong teams and get an idea of some artifacts. I do also have to say though that Navia has been my most used character the last couple of months. She deals a heck ton of damage and for a mobile user is incredibly easy to play.

"In any game there are traps" Why did I instantly think of Venti... 😅

Something to add for Xingqui for newer players: He exploits the 3 hit icd rule with his rainswords coming down 3 at a time meaning he functionally doesn’t have any icd on his burst which is why he’s such a good hydro applicator

As a low spender (I own one battle pass) I think neuvi is a good f2p character since he’s extremely easy to build, he doesn’t NEED a team and even without c1 he’s still extremely strong. Also one of his best weapons is prototype that provides a small amount of team wide healing. If you own furina neuvi also provides over healing. A neuvi and furina team has been one of my best teams that I’ve used and I’ve been playing for over 2 years.
