Genshin Impact Characters: Top 5 Strongest Characters

Jumping into the world of fantasy adventures in Genshin Impact, players have a chance to explore the immersive journey as a traveler from another world. In the more than 3 years since the initial launch, the developer has released numerous characters. There is no doubt that the biggest element that makes Genshin popular is its massive list of characters.

Let's take a look at the top 5 strongest Genshin Impact characters for January 2023 in this article.

The top five most powerful Genshin Impact characters

5. Ganyu

Strengths

• Ganyu possesses numerous AoE skills.
• She can assist other characters by adding Bonus Cryo Damage to their strikes.
• Ganyu’s CRIT-DMG is quite high.

Weaknesses

• Her attacks take time to charge.
• Her base HP is quite low.

Ganyu is, along with Xiao, one of the best Genshin DPS characters. But, unlike Xiao, Ganyu can also help other people. Her Elemental Skill draws enemies in and deals AoE Cryo damage. This is good for setting up reactions and other AoE attacks, while her Burst deals continuous Cryo damage.

 4. Xiao

Strengths

• Xiao's close-range attacks with his hands are fast and effective.
• His skill lets him dive over and over again on enemies.
• You can use his skills to make it easier to explore.

Weaknesses

• The only thing that helps him is that he can explore.
• Xiao loses HP so that he can do more damage.

Xiao is excellent for DPS. As long as he's alive, he can do a lot of damage. You can significantly increase his attack power by equipping him with the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear. Combine this with the Gladiator's Finale artifact set to boost his attack to new heights.

3. Traveler

Strengths

• By distributing additional elements with a gust of wind and using the Traveler's normal attack to apply Anemo, you may create some decent reactions with no effort.
• Your Burst creates a tornado that moves enemies away and combines with other elemental effects to hit them more than once as it moves.

Weaknesses

• Waiting for your skills to cool down might be tiring and leave you vulnerable.
• Your Palm Vortex is dangerously immovable while charging.

The Traveler is the main character in Genshin Impact. In the opening battle scene, twin siblings from another world travel through the universe until they are stopped by an unknown god. The player has the option of selecting either Aether (male) or Lumine (female) as the traveler, and the Traveler's Sibling is captured. The Traveler is not a particularly powerful character, but he does have the advantage of being able to change elements and thus serve as a useful support character. He is ideal for beginning with free-to-play accounts and will work with a variety of teams.

2. Venti

Strengths

• Venti's Skill enables exploration.
• He is one of the best characters for crowd control because he can absorb elements and spread them to unfortunate enemies caught in his torrent.
• Venti's energy recharge speed is relatively fast.

Weaknesses

• His Burst is ineffective against enemies who have elemental damage or debuffs.

Venti's best role may be as an Anemo Sub DPS who focuses on stacking Elemental Mastery to make his Swirl reactions do more damage overall. Venti is a young, wine-loving bard who also happens to be the physical manifestation of Barbatos, the Anemo Archon. He is lighthearted and playful, like a bard should be, and he enjoys writing songs about his travels.

However, one of his worst vices is that he is fatally allergic to cats. He will not perform if a cat is nearby. Venti can occasionally become rather philosophical and babble on about The Seven Stories when his Archon form shows.

1. Zhongli

Strengths

• Zhongli can cause petrification with his Burst attack.
• He has the ability to drain Geo from enemies.

Weaknesses

• Zhongli’s Normal Attacks are quite weak.

Zhongli is without a doubt one of the top Genshin Impact characters. As the oldest living God, Zhongli is one of the original Seven's last surviving members. He has extensive knowledge of the past and present of Liyue, due in part to his time as Geo Archon. Since he was a god before The Seven even existed, he possesses a wealth of memories and experiences.

He is an Adeptus and currently holds the position of Consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Before faking his death, however, Rex Lapis had accomplished many remarkable feats.
