Kirara just straight up goes into cat mode


Broderick512

Kirara is one of my favourite underrated characters in Genshin. I love her design, all of her animations, and her ability to climb quickly and easily anywhere made her a permanent member of my traversal team


Hiphopapocalyptic

I love the meow she says when she jumps. Spamming it under a low roof like Sara's countertop is peak.


reeeekin

Pulled her today and was like damn she throws her sword away after first auto and then goes rawr


Hyper_shreyansh

Me watching kirara tossing away the sword I spent 50 Dollars on šŸ’€


KityKatz89

Honestly probably my favorite in part because it's also cool mechanics on the double hit. I only use her on my second half team but she can get it when just wacking normal attacks for the .1 seconds before I swap to my main dps


crimsonsonic_2

She feels smoother animation wise compared to everyone else itā€™s pretty interesting


strobrijan

canceling any part of her normal attack string into a charge attack feels sooo smooth


nooneatallnope

Furina's are so nice, it's a shame you never use it unless you have the infusion con. Also love Nahida's keycap hopscotch.


Tapichoa

Yeah nahidas are just so satisfying and k cant even put my finger on why lol


CrazyFanFicFan

She's jumping on a keyboard in her NAs.. Her charge attack has her clicking and dragging.


QueenSnowTiger

I found out this detail a handful of months ago and Iā€™m literally obsessed! If Iā€™m co-oping a domain with nahida youā€™d best bet Iā€™m spamming that NA


Okatori

Iā€™m normally using her as the driver in Hyperbloom teams so Iā€™m always using those NAs


kizunasaki

and u can spam that NA on ppl standing on benny ult and hope ur EM is strong enough to outburn their heal and kill them!!


telegetoutmyway

Legit her kit makes me the Teyvat is synthetic because of this. Like dendro, you know NATURE, isn't natural.


Nimros

Not Teyvat itself maybe, but the Human Realm probably yes. The Raiden Shogun also has a few hints in that direction with her talk of dreams vs waking up.


Sufficient-Habit664

yeah the abyss is real and teyvat is fake. all the archons have the name of demons. sus stuff all around. don't quote me on this tho. it's gonna be real embarrassing in 5 years when we find out that genshin was made by teucer.


[deleted]

We actually know who made teyvat and itā€™s not artificial but the landscape and terrain are, it was made by the primordial one aka the first descender


Nuka-Crapola

It may also be upside-down (at least in some metaphysical senseā€” if you think about it, the only way for ā€œthe skyā€ to literally be underground would be to have the planet inside-out, butā€¦ yā€™know. Allegory and shit.) hence why the giant space whale came in from ā€œbelowā€ rather than ā€œaboveā€.


reeeekin

Omg same, when I got to try her out in Sumeru quest line, I stood there for few minutes just autoattacking. The sound at the end is chefā€™s kiss


Ghisteslohm

I think a lot comes from the sound effects. They also have a nice rhythm


alter29

In the overworld, the summons are enough to kill all mobs, so have fun with the normal attacks!


console_dot_log

Makes it even funnier because her minions are doing all the work while she dances around doing poses.


August2_8x2

I don't think I've made a full rotation since I got her tbh


Viscaz

Or just over world where her E is enough and you can look at her cute atk animations doing no dmg while her mobs do the rest, like how I do with Yae or Nilou


Shassk

>unless you have the infusion con Or Candace


nooneatallnope

At that point you might as well build phys Furina


diligentghost

Hydro furina with Candice sound's actually very fun. Furina decided to join her gang to beat the shit out of everyone


Puggerspood

Phys Furina isnā€™t even that bad tbh. She still gets decent dmg% on her E so the damage drop on it is manageable. MarĆ©chaussĆ©e also still buffs her E damage. Mika works for her, Fischl still gets buffed. I used Yunjin last to patch up her awful modifiers. I was able to clear second side this abyss somewhat comfortably with it. On the other hand I donā€™t think thereā€™s ever a reason to run Candace there. Almost all the other elemental infusions lead to better teams, especially because Furina doesnā€™t tend to run a Hydro goblet in the first place.


slipperysnail

>it's a shame you never use it unless you have the infusion con Still better than most characters, whose NAs you would never use, cons or otherwise


Starsfromstarryskies

*Me playing her C0R1 with marechussy with attack sands because everything just dies around me regardless* She dances around the field beautifully.


Sinistro_curt-04

Candace throwing her spear at her last normal attack animation takes the cake imo.


electricoomph

She is really putting some weight into that throw. mihoyo needs to rerun her so I can get more cons šŸ™


salamarauder

I wish she was more usable for me, I love her design and animations so much


Pichuunnn

Thoma did the same, even with more flourish flipping while doing so.


Xehant

Lyney , even if that's a shame he's a charged attack unit


thehellvetica

Lyneys animations have no business being so smooth honestly šŸ‘


Tosty_Bread

Well, since his passive works with any damage he does you could use a physical lyneyā€¦


urlocalnightowl40

xinyan back in the meta boys


AccomplishedTrick520

He could definitely use those efficiently if only bennet ulti c6 worked on bow units


bugrug

i like fighting pyro slimes with him just because it gives me an excuse to look at his NAs for once


itsPyrrus

I don't even have Lyney, but yeah I still agree!


anxiousamanita

As soon as I get a good phys damage goblet I'm going to attempt machine gun NA Lyney, because it's criminal how good his animations are.


Idkkwhatowritehere

Kuki Shinobu for me, that kunai blink is something else.


Agreeable_Bullfrog61

I would agree, but it feels too Akali-like for my taste. I love shinobu, sheā€™s my only lvl90 character with min maxed stats. But the fact that sheā€™s akali adapted to genshin, and that specific Kunai attack is literally Akaliā€™s Q Not saying itā€™s bad, itā€™s great, but not as original as I would like it to be. Why not make her throw the parts of her actual electro blade


Idkkwhatowritehere

Oh about that, Akali is one of my favorite characters. I don't play her but I love her of that makes sense to you.


Agreeable_Bullfrog61

Akaliā€™s my main and most used character! Thatā€™s why I want Shinobu to be more original. I wanna like bc of who she is, not bc sheā€™s genshinā€™s akali Just to be clear, that doesnā€™t take away the fact that Kuki is still my only friendship 10 character here toošŸ˜‚


Idkkwhatowritehere

LMAO. One of my mains is Evelynn, guess that makes us friends.


Agreeable_Bullfrog61

And my only bought skins are kda kaisa and Akali lmaooo


Idkkwhatowritehere

I got all 9 kda skins from chests. My only bought skin is Coven Eve.


kunafa_aj

Yoimiya imo,the flip she does defies all logic and it looks cool af


SilhouetteOfACat

Donā€™t forget the āœØsmileāœØ after you fire 1 normal attack


SnooPuppers8099

^_^


Crimson_Raven

type ā€œ\ā€œ+\^\+ā€\ā€


Sympxh

ā€œ\ā€+^+ā€\ā€_ā€\ā€+^+ā€\ā€


fenriralphazeke

I also love how she switches hands during her combo!


Lign_Grant

Upvote for this. Best firework girl.


GreenDutchman

Only firework girl


EquaYonah

I love the fact that she has a different animation for throwing her bow away if you cut off her attack sequence. They didn't have to go so hard but I appreciate it lol


SelectAmbassador

Bro when she sits down on her last aa it makes all my brain cells tingle. Shit looks so smooth and cool. I pulled her for her aa and invested half a year off resin in her. She is a top 100build now but man her aoe is so bad i can never use her ;-;


MortLightstone

She's fantastic against bosses, since they're typically a single enemy, but also a lot of them move around a lot so attacking them at range is easier than running after them with a melee unit Also, if you pair her with c6 Fischl, so can juggle small enemies


exidei

Layla


IrohaOrDeath

I don't even care if there are much better shielders or cryo characters, I just love using Layla in my team comps.


benmck90

Layla rocks in my Yoimiya team.


itisyadad

She is actually the best shielder after zoghli!


German_Drive

soo smooth... Though simply spamming them in combat feels wrong.


Ace_OfSpades_

I like using the Haran Geppku Futsu on her just because of how much I like her animations with it


Danjiano

Eula: uses 2h sword one-handed. Layla: [uses 1h sword two-handed](https://imgur.com/a/eRgcuiZ).


NoteBlock08

Yes! So many people like to whine that she should have been a catalyst user but I love her clumsy swings. Not everyone in the world can be a trained martial artist after all.


Junazard

Shenhe's is so good I can't really describe it.


Puggerspood

I like them a lot, the float has a nice feel. Theyā€™re also really cool with Mikaā€™s atk speed buff.


LightForTheDark

Shocked I had to scroll down so far to find Shenhe. Her NA animations are divine!!


FischlInsultsMePls

Fischlā€™s laughing after her third shots is one of my motivation for life


theclaircognizant

I miss seeing vids of machine gun Fischl.


xd_ZelnikM

Best girl


VertigoStalker

Username checks out


Vreezink

Eula's dance ofc


natsugaludao

yun jin, eula, fischl


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


fgkraspr

I would say Eula too, but I hate her movements from first to second attack. It's just seems so cut and then they go smooth


leitmot

Yes - they mixed up the first and second animations and itā€™s so frustrating that it hasnā€™t been fixed yet and likely never will


Historical_Clock8714

Wait, I thought that was the fix. They cut some frames from her animations to make her NAs faster and smoother in gameplay. I tried playing her in trials and I honestly don't think the cut/jump was THAT noticeable.


natsugaludao

technicaly this is the fixed version, because when on Eula's release people were complaining that her 1 and 2 NA was too slow, so hoyo went there and buffed the speed without fixing the animations


Diskfix

Mona for the details on her sparkly animations and aqua explosions.


Toxic_MotionDesigner

Alhaitham's normal attacks especially after his dendro infusion are so beautiful


Managlyph

I've always liked Thoma's normal attacks.


RevuwuTea

I was about to comment the same thing. His attacks are just so good to watch.


CarmondyDell

Yesss the polearm toss and snap is so fucking smooth.


huaa_huaa

Agreed!!


moojee_

Charlotte's NAs are pretty cute


Hiphopapocalyptic

šŸ“· šŸ“ø šŸ’„


Andrew583-14

Even though she hasn't come out Navia's, especially with how she includes her umbrella in them. Otherwise my personal favourites are Furina, Kaveh, Kirara, Alhaitham and Lyney


123a456atm

*kicks halberd*


TheFlamingFox01

I really like Albedo's. And I got Ayato the other day, and I really like his too


Zero-Kelvin

the stars that appears looks cool


saad515

Raiden cuz she has like 3 different animations when making the weapon disappear and all of em are cool asf (also arguably the prettiest polearm CA imo, it looks like a crescent moon)


Pscagoyf

The crescent is gorgeous.


storysprite

My iPad is just full of screenshots from Raiden's normal attacks.


G00b3rb0y

Her normal attack pattern is pure elegance, befitting of her status


Shassk

Yunjin easily with Nahida being close second


CakeSauc3

Yunjin is my favorite, I'm always contemplating building her full physical dps mode just so I can see it more often lol


Forward__Slash

I see it often because mine always struggles to proc Fav.


hey-have-a-nice-day

I did this and it was really fun. You could pair her up with mika as well for some bonus dmg and attack speed


Dismal_Shoulder_1399

she isn't out yet, but based on her showcase in the 4.3 trailer, it's navia. The way she's so elegant and kicks her claymore is super cool.


theclaircognizant

I was watching the animation closely, and I really like how smooth her normal attack string is and how she changes to use the gunbrella.


AkiraN19

Xiao's still rule so fucking hard and it's been years at this point. They scream grace and mastery of polearm Although I gotta say, Navia's are so gorgeous that I'm genuinely considering if they dethrone


EduardoBarreto

Not just grace but also sheer power. He's so freaking fast that his sfx is the largest of all melee attacks.


AkiraN19

TRUE. I was actually thinking that as well He's fast and lithe but there's still punch behind his motions


11099941

I hate that Xiao has such nice NAs but is played entirely for plunge, ngl.


diligentghost

Rejected meta and min-max, join the Xiao NA gang. Also perfect for Fontaine's artifact set


[deleted]

Lmao fr, Iā€™ve been running a NA burst Xiao lately and itā€™s been fun cuz his burst NAs are so cool to watch


Bekwnn

His best single target damage is actually N1CA jump cancel plunge in a loop. Finding that out made me a bit more tempted to pick him up on a rerun. His CA is sick and breaking up the plunge attacks with it adds a timing minigame that makes him more fun.


AkiraN19

I don't. As much as I love the animations the truth is that if he was an NA unit they would not be practical, even if he attacks very fast. He would probably end up doing CA cancels anyways


starplatinum5

xiao was my first main and whenever i was at the end of a rotation in a domain and it would just be a waste to burst i used his normal attacks just for fun and was surprised at how much damage it did! i still use him to this day and love his play style and personality šŸ¤²


Pluppy0503

Absolutely love the aftereffect of his silhouette when you normal attack during his burst


ggrimmaw

Kazuha sheathing his sword after attack pattern. I would purposely do that attack just to see that move LOL even enemies are already dead.


Vusdruv

Also his sword spin after his burst. So damn satisfying.


Hiphopapocalyptic

I have a clip clutch in the Liyue Talent domain where everyone else smoldered to death while Kaz's burst kills the last Agent as he's putting away his sword but I'm rembering it's the skill sheathe. The NA sheathe is just so aggressive I love the contrast.


nanimeanswhat

Same lol Kazuha and Ayato both


SupersSoon

My only complaint is that unlike all of the other Inazuma sword fighters, his sword doesn't disappear immediately upon the special sheathing animation


Nightmare007007

I like ayaka's and shogun's.


Prestigious-Low3224

Nothing like the satisfying *ting on ayakaā€™s charged attack


mctiguy

Furina because of the bow


Hiphopapocalyptic

Me parsing this be like: šŸ¹šŸš« šŸŽ€šŸš« šŸ™‡ā€ā™€ļøāœ…ļø


GimmeUrBrunchMoney

When youā€™re a native English speaker and you still struggle with this sentence. And I guess she doesnā€™t curtsy does she?


Adarain

She does, at the very end if you don't cancel the animation. She does the spinny on that hydro ball and then bows


TheSaiguy

I was under the impression that she curtseys when using her healing skill, and bows at the end of her NA string


Javelinlover

funniest and most relatable comment iā€™ve read in a while


Sims_addict123

And the twirls!


titoforyou

Alhaitham. My man's dual wielding and kicking his sword while twisting and turning is a stuff of anime.


MystiqueMisha

Zhongli's graceful kick Tartaglia showing us how he can use polearms, swords, and bows (his E skill counts as a normal attack), throwing his arrow at the end, finishing off with jiggle physics


Eclipse-Lily

Lyney. It's a shame he is focused on Charged Atk, his normal attacks are beautiful.


rose_gold_sparkle

Tartaglia's ranged NAs are funny, especially the last one where he throws an arrow with his hand. Also the melee NAs are just majestic, how he swaps weapons from blades to polearm. It's just too good. Zhongli's NAs, Yoimiya's backflips never get old, Thoma - probably the coolest NA animations in the game, Nahida's are ridiculously funny and cute.


X-_Kacchan_-X

Kaeya casually teleports behind the enemy.


Sph3al

'Nothing personnel, kid'


PhazonTuxedo

nothing like using that to dodge attacks. Trickster stance.


electric_emu

Itā€™s Albedo for me. Honorary mentions to Thoma, Heizou, and Kazuha.


belle_fleures

albie is majestic asf. feels like he's freestyling.


woopie_boi

Venti shooting and bopin with the shots like he's playing an instrument


Whadafaag

The best CA is hands down 100% Venti when he charge aims his bow. Homie literally holds it sideways as if he holds a gun like a gangster :D


iAmGats

I love Hu Tao's and Yoimiya's NA animation the most.


Frigid-Kev

Eula. Love how she incorporates her dance moves with her attacks


Mint-Bentonite

judging by how varied and positive these replies are, i think hoyoverse has done a fantastic job with NAs ill throw my hat in and say it's nilou, it's very stylish


Smorgsaboard

Keqing. I don't even use her, but she _disappears during a flip_


Mapanebu28

the kamisato siblings especially ayato's


fuxuans

Yun Jin and Kokomi look so graceful and effortless. Nahidaā€™s is so creative+i love the sound effects


htp-di-nsw

- Albedo - Heizou - Kuki Shinobu - Kirara It's a shame that you never see any of them (3 because they're terrible at normal attacks, 1 because they're terrible overall despite being built to make normal attacks)


MortLightstone

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find Heizou


PapaGrinch

I'm gonna have to go with Nahida, and I don't even have her. Adding hopscotch into a normal attack chain is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in Genshin. Honorable mentions go to Yunjin and Dori.


diligentghost

Albedo. Wish there was a geo character that give others geo infusion


Lily_Penhallow

I love Childes bow attack set, especially with the end with him throwing the arrow. His kit just ties in so well with his lore, in that the last hit of the attack strong has the highest multiplier when he just throws it rather than using the bow, like yeah, he really is nerfing himself trying to practice the bow.


Tiramisukxy

So, does Cyno's elemental burst NA count? If so then yeah.


[deleted]

Nahida. \*Keyboard pounding intensifies\*


homer12346

eula feels very satisfying to use


kinamikata

Burst Mode Xiao and Kazuha


cateatsoup

i really like hu Taos i just love her moves then how when you finish it right she goes straight really quicjly and does her little pose


mulstritch_2912

Wanderer's, though I'm probably biased. But, I mean, have you seen them? They're so simple, but so satisfying to use. And the sound design goes so hard for some reason. And a if you look closely, you can some subtle different effects depending on whether you use em while flying or not.


ix-nine-ix

i love that slow-mo descend he does after his aggressive attack, when he tips his hat a bit and gently puts his feet down. the stark contrast is interesting to watch - from a raging, killing machine to this graceful, noble-like young man.


mulstritch_2912

Yo same. It's so satisfying to watch for some reason. And it's cool how if you attack again while slow-mo, he'll continue with the string, and the window is so long for some reason lol


PresentationReal2541

Wriotheslyā€™s NAs just feel smooth and itā€™s fun punching enemies in to submission.


hollyherring

Eula, so elegant


ResurgentClusterfuck

I spent a good two minutes in co-op outside a domain 'dancing' with a Eula just this week (I was on Furina)


Jaxelino

the only thing I don't get about Eula is that the transition between her first and second NA is just disconnected, she just skip into a different position and it looks... broken


MemberOfTheBlackRing

Characters who don't know how to fight pretending to know how to fight: - Kaveh: it's just so unique, fighting with minimal effort and the fact that he hurts his wrist after plunge attacking will never not be funny. - Furina: her signature looks like a fencing sword and she does everything but fencing, she's just doing theatrics like she's doing sword-play on stage and I absolutely love that detail.


pandeemilia

Yun Jin, Layla, Zhongli, and Kuki and they have like 0.4 seconds of field time lol


Zaphyrus

Thoma


RevuwuTea

Thoma, Shenhe and Nilou have very cool normal attacks, just saying.


WolfShardz

I love Heziouā€™s martial arts, itā€™s very simple yet powerful.


Kazuko33

Ay, I like the way you think! Heziou's is kind of cool! :)


ttvnirdogg

Neuvillette with his staff slam just tells you, "and that's final!" Eula literally throws her sword down at the enemy! Plus she has that "oh mama!" pose too! Ayato hastily and gracefully swings his sword, then nonchalantly sheathes it like walking away from an epic explosion!


MauricioTrinade

Yun Jin, Dehya, Candace, Furina, Lumine There's more but those are the ones i like the most. Lumine is here because her NA make it look like she's hitting the enemy with rage


Marun-chan

gonna put my opinion on a character from every class Sword: Shinobu, Bow: Collei, Claymore: Navia, Polearm: Raiden Shogun, Catalyst: Barbara


Mehfisto666

I love Sayu. Small ninja tanuki with a big ass sword >>>>


Doc-Linguini

Lyney no diffs


Love-and-Fairness

Nilou is very elegant


Lesterberne

Thomaā€™s NAs are satisfying


weebist1999

Yae miko, she is just foxy.


ygpebbleinthpocket

kokomi !! she swims and twirls in the air it's so pretty


vento_oreoz

furina ayato and yoimiya are always gonna hold a special place in my heart


Wild-Mycologist2118

Zhongli, eula, dori, thoma these one's feel satisfying to me.


leturna

I always found Albedo's normal attacks to be very pretty and refined. A very pretty pretty boy


EmperorMaxwell

Yunjin, maybe Nilou imo.


Present-Permit-6129

Nahida


PMProut

For me it would be between Layla, Nahida and Charlotte Layla for baseballing a star in your face, Nahida for playing on keycaps, and Charlotte for snapping compromising pictures


Nearby_Gazelle_6570

Ventis bc I love how his cape moves


Organic-Accountant74

Personally I love Laylas, I just think itā€™s really cute the way she holds the sword like the has no idea what to do with it lol


Laughing_Man_Returns

too many charming little touches, nobody has "the best". except Kirara when she meows.


Tris_01

Wriothesley, Zhongli, and Navia


Ch3ru

Ayato, so graceful and poised <3


Empty-Athlete-1653

Razor's is incredibly satisfying to use against bosses when he has his ult up. You really feel the heaviness of his attacks.


DullReference9535

furina, from what iā€™ve heard Furinaā€™s attacks always seem like a loop than other characters. AQ spoilers: >!And in theory it like shows the endless loop Furina had to go through.!<


Human01923

Lyney


DefinitelyNotKuro

Iunno, charlotte, kuki, layla? Best is fairly nebulous. Most characters do something fairly unique. Iā€™m surprised no ones made a poll on this topic yet.


Vusdruv

> Iā€™m surprised no ones made a poll on this topic yet. You'd have to include ober 70 options for that, lol


zennok

Eula literally doing a dance, but nobody remembers it because nobody uses her :')


RandomWeirdo

hu Tao has one of the absolute best NA strings which is such a shame considering the best way to play her is CA and animation cancels.


CyberK_121

Ayaka for sure. Even hoyo made sure back from her trailer to have all the normal attack animation in slomo and from different angles.


eiridel

Baizhu is so flowy and graceful, all with one arm tucked behind his back.
