Upgrading his Constellation levels gives you more “swords” to protect you during battle. His “Fatal Rainscreen” doesn’t necessarily heal (at least without 1 st Ascension), but he can deflect potential damage a maximum of three times with his base Elemental Skill. Xingqui is also one of those rare playable characters that can reduce damage taken by the active character. His Hydro Elemental Burst attacks rain Hydro-charged swords, with plenty of potential for Electro-Charged and Vaporize reactions. Xingqui is someone that pairs well with the Pyro or Electro damage dealers in your party. Keep him to help with crowd control with his “Storm Eye” Elemental Burst to draw in enemies into one place and inflict absorbed elemental damage. This tone-deaf bard may not be Paimon’s favorite person, but he may be one of the most powerful Anemo characters in the game – so far.

His 25% attack boost can make a difference on the battlefield, and his healing Elemental Burst can turn the tide in a challenging fight. Although he has a Pyro attack of his own, he’s best suited as support for your Hydro “main” DPS character.

Players have a love/hate relationship with this four-star support character. BennetĪh, happy, perky, and sometimes, annoying Bennet. They often have abilities that buff or heal other party members, but these versatile characters also pack a two-for-one punch on the battlefield when you include them in your party. Support or Utility characters’ help keep the battle moving in your favor. Not many characters can play a DPS and Support role quite the way that Zhongli can. However, check out Zhongli’s Jade Shield ability. As another Geo character, you may be tempted to go with Albedo instead. Zhongli got a bad rep when first introduced, but since then, miHoYo has buffed his abilities, making him more worthy of his high character rating. His ultra-short cooldown makes him necessary for any party. Send him in to lay down his Elemental Skill “Solar Isotoma,” a Geo construct that not only deals Geo AoE but gives others a platform for plunging and aerial attacks. Albedo may not have the base attack damage stats of many “main” DPS characters, but these alchemist’s Geo skills are formidable.
