There are loads of characters to collect in Genshin Impact, as you’d imagine from a gacha game. Unsurprisingly though, some of them are better than others. That’s why we’ve written this list – it breaks down the characters and shows you which ones you should be trying to get.

There are different tiers of character, different elements and different roles, all of which you’ll find outlined below. The characters aren’t listed in any particular order within their tiers, so don’t shout at us if you think we’re saying someone’s better than someone else.

Got your own thoughts to add? We’d love to hear them in the comments section at the bottom of the article. Before we get there, though, here’s the tier list for every character in Genshin Impact.
