Best Of
Genshin Impactis a huge game that is ever-expanding.
This is because additional areas and characters are being added several times a year.
It can be pretty easy to get lost with all theinformationthat constantly comes out about the game.
The Spiral Abyss, for one, is always changing the Meta of the game.
There is also the addition of new artifact sets and weapons that shakes up characters.
This is especially true for DPS characters who are always fighting for the top spot in the game.
Ganyu
Ganyu is still making waves as she is a heavy-hitting Cryo bow-user.
Despite being a ranged character, she is one of the strongest DPS characters in the game.
Her elemental skill summons a lure that attracts enemies and then explodes.
Her elemental skill will rain Cryo damage down unto the field in a large AoE.
Even her charge shot is powerful and can quickly help take out enemies.
Ganyu can also be switched to a support role at any time.
Pairing her with characters like Raiden Shogun, Ayato, and Xingqiu can be completely devastating.
Best of all, it’s possible for you to easily use her even if she is at c0.
Ayato
Ayato is a Hydro sword-user who is insanely easy to play, even for new players.
His whole kit is simple and just requires holding or pressing a button.
Ayato’s elemental skill lets him constantly deal Hydro damage to enemies.
His elemental burst rains Hydro damage down onto the field in a large AoE similar to Ganyu’s burst.
He’s especially great for vape and freeze teams.
In addition, he is rather easy to build a team around, making him even more valuable.
While many players do prefer Tartaglia, he is harder to manage.
You also need his C1 to keep up his close-range form, while Ayato is great from C0.
This makes him a great DPs for free-to-play players who aren’t looking to pour money into a five-star.
Xiao
Xiao is beta character that finally got his release right beside Ganyu.
He is an Anemo spear-user and the only remaining Yakasha in Liyue.
His attacks are incredibly powerful, but he does deplete his health to use his burst.
Xiao’s elemental skill let’s you quickly do an Anemo slash through the air.
His elemental burst depletes his health, but lets him pogo stick around the field doing massive anemo damage.
This can easily be turned into swirl damage by giving him a supporting party.
While any five-star is broke at c6, Xiao just becomes a complete monster.
Just confirm his health bar stays full and you will decimate any enemies in your path.
This is especially true if you pull his weapon, the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
Hu Tao
Hu Tao is another spear-user, but her element is Pyro.
Hu Tao, like Xiao, depletes her health when using one of her abilities.
Her elemental skill converts all damage to Pyro and increases her attack.
The skill does drain her health in exchange though.
Her burst is a quick AoE attack that deals a good amount of damage.
Hu Tao can be paired with characters like Mona and Kazuha for massive reaction damage.
Raiden Shogun
Raiden Shogun is one of the best DPS characters in the game.
In fact, the Raiden National Team is a go-to for clearing the Spiral Abyss.
When she uses her elemental burst, hitting an enemy will trigger an electro attack.
Raiden is another character that you don’t need to worry about maxing out.
Like most characters, it does help to have her signature weapon, but it’s not a requirement.
