Genshin Impact SS-tier characters

The following characters are all ranked SS-tier in our list of the best overall Genshin Impact characters.

Alhaitham

In Genshin Impact, Alhaithm is great in a main DPS role, but can also slot into sub-DPS if the need arises. He’s a five-star character who wields a sword and harnesses the dendro element.

Neuvillette

Genshin Impact’s Neuvillette is a five-star, pneuma-aligned, hydro character. He’s currently one of the best units in the game and is pretty handsome to boot.

Xiangling

If you’re looking for a proficient four-star character who just so happens to be free, Genshin Impact’s Xiangling is a great pyro sub-DPS character. She wields a polearm.

Xingqiu

One of the few four-stars on our list, Genshin Impact’s Xingqiu is a great sub-DPS character who can help with support on occasion. He wields a sword and has a hydro element.

Yelan

Genshin Impact’s Yelan is a five-star hydro bow-wielder who we recommend using in a sub-DPS role. Her talents help fill in the downtime between main DPS attacks.

If you need a geo polearm-wielder on your site we recommend Genshin Impact’s Zhongli. He’s a five-star character and the strongest shielder in the game but some distance.
