Some are simply more worthwhile to chase down and upgrade than others.

Meanwhile, her elemental burst also comes in handy in inflicting a powerful AoE attack on surrounding enemies.
Kaeya
Kaeya has already joined the Knights of Favonius, serving as the Cavalry Captain.
Being a sword-wielder, Kaeya plays quite reliably as a sub-DPS character.
He specializes in cryo energy, freezing enemies at will while also helping you explore water bodies.
Further, he syncs well with hydro characters and enjoys a lower cooldown when its raining.
Fischl
Fischl may be a support character.
However, shes quite powerful enough to rank high up the tier list.
As an Electro character and a daring adventure, Fischl deals AoE attacks.
She can also ramp up her speed, striking nearby enemies with lighting and inflicting electro damage.
Her normal attacks allow you to unleash four rapid strikes.
However, her elemental skill can unleash an Enigma Thrust.
This inflicts anemo damage on enemies that will restore your health concurrently.
Geo has become incredibly powerful and also lets you conjure up shields for defense.
However, its her innate abilities that make her stand out among the best free characters inGenshin Impact.
She shoots gems, for instance, that inflict significant damage.

Diona
Diona is a Cryo character who also excels at putting up a powerful shield.
you’re free to survive for longer as a result.

The Dendro variant, for instance, is more powerful.
Interestingly, the Traveler can be either one of the twin siblings Aether and Lumine.

Although Xingqiu is a four-star character, he can compete easily with other five-star ones.
Hes fast and powerful, easily taking out several enemies.
He specializes in hydro, dealing water damage to enemies.
While wielding his sword, he can unleash five rapid strikes.
He can also perform twin sword strikes, inflicting more hydro damage.
Moreover, he can create rain swords that orbit around you, which have several benefits.

However, its the elemental burst that steals the show with its rainbow blade work.
It creates an illusionary sword rain which deals thousands of water damage and fast.
Xiangling
Xiangling remains in the top spot of the best free characters inGenshin Impact.
Shes simply that good, exceling in dealing pyro damage in the sub-DPS class.
She marries well with other party members, boosting your overall attack and defense.

However, she can summon Guoba the Panda, who breathes fire, inflicting pyro AoE damage.
