8 Best DPS Characters in Genshin Impact

After players go through the happiness of the anime world that is connected with the Breath of the Wild gameplay formula, it will look like what Genshin Impact really is.

Like most other mobile RPGs, Genshin Impact involves a lot of grinding and although it has a dizzying amount of in-game resources to find, what matters most is player time.

When it comes to shortening the time spent grinding in Genshin Impact, DPS is always the most important factor. Thus, the character with the highest DPS potential in your party is very important for game efficiency.

In addition, this character gives players power and strength. For the record, these characters are officially designated as “DPS” by the developers themselves, so the list we’re making here is based on DPS or carry characters.

8. Klee

Element: Pyro
Weapon: Catalyst
Best strategy: Use charged attack after Elemental Skill and Burst

Klee can easily cancel pyro damage dealers like Xiangling, especially for those looking for pure fire damage. He can summon tons of bombs/mines to clear swarms of enemies without much effort.

If that wasn’t enough, Klee’s Elemental Burst would make sure that anyone who survived the bomb he so brutally threw would still be hit. This will summon an entity called “Sparks ‘n Splash” which will continuously bombard Klee enemies with pyro damage.

The downside is that Klee only gives pure pyro which means, enemies that are immune to pyro can be troublesome for him.

7. Diluc

Element: Pyro
Weapon: Claymore
Best strategy : Spam Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst when off-cooldown

Kabar Diluc is currently considered by the community as the simplest DPS in Genshin Impact. That’s because Diluc’s pyro damage can be stacked easily, making him great against swarms of enemies or bosses.

How about the Elemental Burst? He unleashed a fire phoenix which continued to push the enemy, damaging them until they exploded.

His Elemental Skill can also be used three times before entering a short cooldown so it’s no wonder why this redhead is one of the most sought after characters, even many gamers are willing to pay thousands of dollars just to get Diluc, you know.

6. Arataki Itto

Element: Geo
Weapon: Claymore

It’s time for Genshin Impact to introduce a five-star Geo character that focuses on DPS. In that sense, Arataki Itto “slapped”, both literally and figuratively.

The reason is, he can release a lot of Geo damage in a row using his abilities. In addition, it easily synergizes with Geo characters for a sweet resonance.

Itto was also very helpful as he had his own weapon tailor-made for him. Only one character can deal with it and that is Noelle.

With Arattaki Itto’s best weapon, he can become a monster. So, you can imagine what it would be like if Itto used the right Claymore in his hand.

5. Xiao

Element: Anemone
Weapon: Polearm
Best Strategy: Use pluge attack when Elemental Burst is activated

Xiao is another reliable character, but much less secure thanks to his low-key attitude towards his personal safety.

Slap 2 Gladiator’s Finale and 2 Viridescent Veneers to reach their maximum potential. After that, it’s just a matter of doing a pluge attack after activating his Elemental Burst.

Make sure to weave some of his Elemental Skills between plunge attacks. Why? Because Xiao himself doesn’t save Energy to maximize his Burst.

The team must have an Anemo battery such as Jean, Sucrose, or Venti. Have the character perform their Skill or Burst, then switch back to Xiao to get Anemo Energy orbs.

4. Eula

Element: Cryo
Weapon: Claymore
Best strategy: Elemental Burst immediately followed by a combination of base attack and Elemental Skill

Currently, Eula still holds the highest record for the largest single damage attack in Genshin Impact. In the right configuration, he can issue six million points of physical damage.

Indeed this happens in one second and it is debatable whether it counts as DPS or not, but one thing is for sure, anyone who is hit by it and does not have a shield, is very dangerous.

While you shouldn’t expect your typical Eula to deal that much damage, bottom line, she has some awesome overhead that flows well even in the cheapest builds.

3. Ayaka

Element: Cryo
Weapon: Sword
Best strategy: Charged Cryo-infused attacks with Hydro applicator and Elemental Burst

Ayaka made a home run when she was released because she was one of the few characters in Inazuma that launched without much controversy. The kit is very impressive.

Players only need to use Hydro abilities like Xingqiu’s Elemental Burst, switch to Ayaka, use Elemental Skills, and then use her Elemental Burst.

If it doesn’t kill a large enemy or multiple targets, then Ayaka can run towards them and use a Charge attack to death.

This requires the player to hit the enemy with Ayaka’s dash to insert his sword with a Cryo attack. Do this, repeat, until the enemy becomes a small ice cube that freezes, and most importantly don’t let the enemy melt.

2. Hu Tao

Element: Pyro
Weapon: Polearm
Best strategy: After activating Elemental Skill then use charge attack, and Elemental Burst after Skill finish

Hu Tao currently held the record for the highest amount of damage ever. To reach that point, he would need 4 Crimson Witch of Flames with Pyro goblet also.

In addition, to increase his damage, his HP must be below 30%. Give Hu Tao Xingqiu’s Elemental Burst, then activate his Elemental Skill.

Once Hu Tao’s polearm is infused with Pyro, have him perform Charged Attacks against enemies for multiple Vaporize instances.

Once his Energy is full, use his Elemental Burst (assuming he still has access to the Hydro applicator) to deal six digits of damage or more.

Burst is bad for some targets, best used for bosses. Also, it can heal Hu Tao, so find a way to bring his HP back to less than 30%.

1. Ganyu

Element: Cryo
Weapon: Bow
Best strategy: Use a lot of charged attacks

Ganyu, you could say that the god of DPS in Genshin Impact, no one can beat him in terms of Spiral Abyss speedruns. He is also the simplest DPS to play today.

All he needs are 4 Wanderer’s Troupes or 4 Blizzard Strayer sets both of which must include the Cryo goblet.

To destroy enemies, perform Level 2 Charged Shots on enemies and watch their corpses shatter to pieces. No team setup required and make sure to always prioritize Normal Attack talents.

If you want more damage, pair him with Xiangling for Pyronado and let Ganyu do six-figure Melt damage every two seconds. At that point, the game became almost too easy.
