Genshin Impact 5-Star Must Have Characters

5. Kazuha

The Swirl-King and the best friend of traveler from Inazuma; Kazuha Kaedehara has proved to be a meta character soon after its debut. Kazuha is one of Genshin Impact’s most adaptable fighters. He specializes in dealing extensive elemental devastation and generating energy for the group, and his latent abilities increase the elemental damage output in the form of swirl reactions involving the EM (elemental mastery) of the entire team comp. Kazuha is simply the best buffer and support character currently in Genshin Impact.

Weapon: An Iron Sting will do the trick as Kazuha wants tons of Elemental Mastery. Ideally, Freedom Sworn (5 Star) is the best possible sword in the entire game for this character.

4. Yelan

The Newest 5 star meta character; Yelan has shook the Genshin Impact tier list by simply outpowering every character released so far. Being a hydro character makes her suitable for easy vape comps and taze comps running with Raiden. Hydro was always a part of Genshin Impact, introducing some of the strongest assists to the game, and they remain to do so with Yelan. Yelan is a bow master with an incredibly unique combination of skills that may drastically affect meta teams as DPS or burst dps.

Weapon: The 3 star Recurve bow is the best f2p bow after 4 star Favonious Warbow. Ideally her best in-slot weapons are Aqua Simulacra (for dps build) and Elegy of the End (For support build), both are 5 star bows.

3. Zhongli

The Geo Archon has the strongest shield in the entire game and has proven himself to be the most flexible utility and burst dps character so far. As Zhongli is most renowned for his shields, using him in Abyss has now become a mandatory option unless you have God-like dodging skills. He is of the Geo element, which gives his shields 150% more durability. Players may anticipate these shields to be 100% operational with the right build. This feature is very valuable in the Spiral Abyss.

Weapon: The Staff of Homa is currently the best in slot weapon for Zhongli and the best part is with this weapon he is the best support and burst dps at the same time! Although 4 star options include Wavebreaker’s fin, Deathmatch and Lithic spear.

2. Kokomi

Kokomi has the ability to heal allies while also applying hydro to adversaries, making her extremely useful unit in Genshin Impact. Players can use Kokomi to clear the spiral abyss with ease as dropping HP won’t be a concern anymore. She is very flexible since a hydro character and can be included in almost any team comp. Sangonomiya Kokomi from the Genshin universe features a one-of-a-kind uniform. One of her passive skills grants her a 25% healing increase but a 100% crit rate decrease. This indicates she has a crit rate of over -100%.

Weapon: Thrilling tales of dragon (3 star R5) or the 5 star weapon; Everlasting Moonglow are currently the best options for Kokomi.

1. Raiden Shogun

The electro Archon is currently the best electro sub dps character that works efficiently with National teams and teams running on ER buffs. Raiden Shogun has been an essential unit for continuous electro application along with greatly increasing the team’s attack damage numbers. Raiden Shogun could one several of the game’s elite enemies by levelling up her Elemental Burst skill to level 10. Raiden Shogun is also one of the only electro character that doe not require a niche team comp to do her best; and even at constellation 0 Shogun is simply a nuke and broken character even today.

Weapon: The Catch is the best 4 star weapon that even beats many 5 star weapons in terms of burst damage boosts. Ideally the Engulfing Lightening spear (5 star) is her signature weapon.
