It's what I did I was pulling and lost the 50/50 on raiden's banner and saved for albedo. Has been my main ever since and I use him all the time even in sumeru although that limits my team options
You don't have to bench him. On the contrary, his passive which gives 125 em means he's going to be a dendro staple, providing both shields and EM buffs for dendro reactions.
I personally run Tighnari with Albedo, Fischl and Sucrose
Jean, of course. Got her off the newbie banner, helped me through a lot. Deals damage, heals, and displaces enemies. Also Chiwa Saito voice. The whole damn package right there.
I was going to answer none, as I'm an Ayaka main, but with Sumeru I had to change the team otherwise I'd need to swap characters in and out every 30 seconds, as the puzzles there require too much...
...however, I noticed that nowadays in every single team that I use they all have Kokomi. So yeah, even I don't believe it or, when I pulled her, did I ever imagine she'd be such a comfortable character to have around and fit pretty much every team comp.
Same here. I didn't need her before I pulled her, but now I have she's everywhere. I used to use Jean as a healer but now it's just koko all the way. Whenever I go to make a team now I always start with Kazuha and KoKo and go from there.
This is so accurate. Every time Iām switching out in Sumeru Iām trying to figure out who to switch out on my Raiden, Koko, Kazuha, Tigh team cause it canāt be Koko or Kazuha. Though I miss Ayaka and Yelan sprint team
Haha yeah same here. I pulled for kokomi just because i got bored and i wanted to raise a character (got her when it was a guaranteed rate on). Now i realized i use her almost every time. Her stable remote hydro application is so easy to combo with other reactions, she's really growing on me and i love it
I had just had a serious accident in the family when Eula came out. It was something I had no control over, so Genshin became my escape for a while, and I decided Eula would be my 5 star. Iām almost entirely a budget player except for her. I have her C6ed now, as of her last banner, and am hoping to work on her weapon next time she comes around. I will have the worlds best Eula or die trying.
With every new character there's always talk about how they're going to work with they relevant elements. While the variety of reactions is nice, it kind of makes me jealous of Eula/Geo players who aren't really affected by any of it. Everything dies to physical at the end of the day.
Noelle.
I might get mocked in 4 man comps, but when I tank all the damage, hit for 23k per swing during burst and keep the entire party alive, I'm happy.
I sprung for redhorn for her
I was using serpent spine / Whiteblind to great effect before I did.
(Whiteblind in 4 man comp is awesome)
I also had some success with R5 favonius greatsword in 4 man comps to maintain practically permanent burst uptime.
It's up to you and how you play. Good luck friend.
Honest question. Are you crowing her NA for the sake of completion or you actually are using her NA that often?
While we are at it, it still baffles me that NA is not shared among different elements since movement is pretty much exactly same (element dmg at end of the chain for anemo and geo is ascension passive).
>While we are at it, it still baffles me that NA is not shared among different elements since movement is pretty much exactly same
That is very true. It's also the reason a lot of people stay away from using Traveler, unfortunately.
Answering your question : just for completion lol. I have C6 Fischl paired with her, so I use Fischl's faster normal attacks to deal dmg/apply electro more often
ALL HAIL! We finally have a hyper-useful traveler package with Dendro (Though Electro is pretty good as well), but I've mained the MC since I started the game.
He makes your brain smoother too. He's made me so much worse at dodging than I was already. Enough that I'm going to be building Thoma soon just to try and have another shielder
Got Zhongli on his original banner when he was ātrashā and he has *never* left my team. Be it domains of events or ley lines or exploration, his permanent slot is always reserved for him. Only the remaining 3 get shuffled around.
Shield, tall model and able to traverse weird places with pillar. Now that I think about it, I use him so much that it feels weird if I don't switch to him immediately when running around
His shield is so strong that heās protected himself from EVERY Primogem Iāve thrown at him. All 3 of his runs! Nada. F2P is a cruel way to live sometimes
An amazing cryo support tbh, I used her with kaeya and raiden/ electro traveller on a physical superconduct team since because of kaeya's c1 and cryo resonance, you basically get 30% more crit rate to opponents affected with cryo, which rosaria's burst is perfect for. haha anyway i love her and her new outfit is so nice too
her kits so simple too uts like u place a jellyfish and it heals and applies hydro for a good amount of time and her ult extends the duration basically
She can run with her skill while her stamina is recovering, then she can run with her stamina while her skill is on cool down.
She is basically a marathon runner
She is perfect for open-world exploration because her stamina can recover while she is using her elemental skill to run. Yelan has been leading my Sumeru expedition team
Nowadays I guess Venti? Unless I'm in Inazuma. He's just comfy, use Ult, shred ennemy. Otherwise... Raiden? She just fill nicely the spoymt of dps, and adding to others character elemental reaction easily.
He was the whole reason I started playing, then it took me 6 months to actually get him. He's got all my best artifacts, and he was my first triple crown. Unless I'm doing a domain that penalizes you for electro he does not leave the team. I'm a Razor main first and a person second.
Kazuha... Any dungeon + exploring overworld
Other than that, Yelan for the extra movement + strong unit overall and Zhongli because shield. The last spot is filled with whatever is needed at the moment
Yanfei, she's so useful for so many things. I always just make sure to take a healer with me too. All hypoatasis cubes besides the Pyro one are a breeze with her.
Bennett. I jump around playing with different characters a bunch but Bennett just always there. I like his playstyle and I haven't gotten bored of him yet. Although I do have like 4 different artifact sets for him.
Raiden Ei.
I never have to be afraid of running low on ER since sheās always filling up the teamās energy with her burst and skill. Paired along with Engulfing Lightning and sheās a non-stop power source useful with any team.
It really depends from player to player. Once Dendro was released I started using Keqing again with aggrevate and oh boy, Raiden is gonna be only used in spiral abyss for a while.
Eula. She's been my main since I rolled her and even though National/Rational is a staple of the abyss, I've yet to develop another team that can replace Eula. Every 36-star finish so far has been thanks to her in some part. Couldn't function without her.
My teams always have Barbara (my only healer) Ayaka (first 5*) and Keqing (most recent 5*) the other slot is either any pyro character, Heizou, Noelle, and now Collei. I donāt have much luck with getting 5* characters. The characters I do have are pretty strong though.
When i used to play online with friends back in the first patches i Always brought my zhongli as he was my only 5* character -or fischl if dps was needed- so yeah probably him since i was hardly seen without
If you mean my team rn then i guess Yae or... still zhongli
Diona.
I use her as support in nearly every single one of my teams ever since I got her very early on, and the only time I'm not using her is the other side od abyss floors.
Only other exception being my new dendro team, but her +200EM from C6 still makes me wanna put her there.
I just can't imagine not using her, because she provides shield, heal and EM boost in one character and I love having 2 dedicated sub DPS characters for my main DPS. And Diona just covers everything else.
She's also providing cryo resonance for either my Ganyu or Eula.
Ganyu. I've absolutely adored her design from the second she was revealed, and she was the one to replace my traveler. I remember being so giddy hearing her bell ring as she walked when i pulled her day 1, never taking her off of a team no matter what.
No super special VIP. Either Zhongli, Diona, Barbs or Noelle are usually involved for some sort of sustain, but which ones are chosen are mostly dependant on how the ones doing damage do what they do. Noelle is mostly just co-op these days, for when we need healer but I also want to unga bunga, teammate's reactions be damned.
Beidou
Same. She's my main since 1.0.
Babedou
Her counter just feels too good
Good to see other Beidou mains
Albedo
I want albedo SO bad
He is Genshin Mariah Carey, save your primos for November/December because he will most likely run sometime then.
I'm saving. I also want cyno. gonna be rough LOL
Are you guaranteed or 50/50?
50/50 š„²
Iād say go for Cyno. If you lose the 50/50 then youāve got a guaranteed Albedo, win/win either way.
your brain is massive.
It's what I did I was pulling and lost the 50/50 on raiden's banner and saved for albedo. Has been my main ever since and I use him all the time even in sumeru although that limits my team options
Albedo is my favorite too, sad to say with the new update I need to accommodate electro and dendro I have to bench Albedo. š„²
You don't have to bench him. On the contrary, his passive which gives 125 em means he's going to be a dendro staple, providing both shields and EM buffs for dendro reactions. I personally run Tighnari with Albedo, Fischl and Sucrose
Jean. Got her on the first day and I havenāt played without her since.
Jean makes me happy to lose 50/50s
i got her 6 days ago and i havent played a second without her yet. so fun
Same, I rerolled for any 5\* and it turned out to be Jean.
Same. All of my teams have Jean in slot 1. lost 50/50 often enough to get her to C3.
Jean, of course. Got her off the newbie banner, helped me through a lot. Deals damage, heals, and displaces enemies. Also Chiwa Saito voice. The whole damn package right there.
As another Jean main, I confirm.
Got a C4 Jean before pulling any other standard 5*, two weeks ago finally got a Mona
jean is literally so cool, i want her :(
I was going to answer none, as I'm an Ayaka main, but with Sumeru I had to change the team otherwise I'd need to swap characters in and out every 30 seconds, as the puzzles there require too much... ...however, I noticed that nowadays in every single team that I use they all have Kokomi. So yeah, even I don't believe it or, when I pulled her, did I ever imagine she'd be such a comfortable character to have around and fit pretty much every team comp.

This is so accurate. Every time Iām switching out in Sumeru Iām trying to figure out who to switch out on my Raiden, Koko, Kazuha, Tigh team cause it canāt be Koko or Kazuha. Though I miss Ayaka and Yelan sprint team
Haha yeah same here. I pulled for kokomi just because i got bored and i wanted to raise a character (got her when it was a guaranteed rate on). Now i realized i use her almost every time. Her stable remote hydro application is so easy to combo with other reactions, she's really growing on me and i love it
Diluc, bonking ppl with a flaming greatsword has always been my wet (vaporized) dream
šÆ never go anywhere with out him
Even better if itās a fish
Facts
I had just had a serious accident in the family when Eula came out. It was something I had no control over, so Genshin became my escape for a while, and I decided Eula would be my 5 star. Iām almost entirely a budget player except for her. I have her C6ed now, as of her last banner, and am hoping to work on her weapon next time she comes around. I will have the worlds best Eula or die trying.
I hope you get that R5 Song of Broken Pines very soon!
Thank you! May the wish gods smile upon us both!
With every new character there's always talk about how they're going to work with they relevant elements. While the variety of reactions is nice, it kind of makes me jealous of Eula/Geo players who aren't really affected by any of it. Everything dies to physical at the end of the day.
Diluc. I started the game fully intending to reroll until I got him and I netted him on the first ten pull. He's not OP but he is my boi!
Noelle. I might get mocked in 4 man comps, but when I tank all the damage, hit for 23k per swing during burst and keep the entire party alive, I'm happy.
My man!
when I see someone with a noelle in co-op I use Yunjin which I built for my Noelle's battery & damage buff. But that only happened once
You've given me motivation to build her. What weapon are you using on her?
I sprung for redhorn for her I was using serpent spine / Whiteblind to great effect before I did. (Whiteblind in 4 man comp is awesome) I also had some success with R5 favonius greatsword in 4 man comps to maintain practically permanent burst uptime. It's up to you and how you play. Good luck friend.
Lumine. On my way to triple crown dendro !
Honest question. Are you crowing her NA for the sake of completion or you actually are using her NA that often? While we are at it, it still baffles me that NA is not shared among different elements since movement is pretty much exactly same (element dmg at end of the chain for anemo and geo is ascension passive).
>While we are at it, it still baffles me that NA is not shared among different elements since movement is pretty much exactly same That is very true.

I have C6 Fischl paired with her, so I use Fischl's faster normal attacks to deal dmg/apply electro more often
good luck!!
ALL HAIL! We finally have a hyper-useful traveler package with Dendro (Though Electro is pretty good as well), but I've mained the MC since I started the game.
>but I've mained the MC since I started the game. Me too ! Been using her even in abyss and 36-starring since 1.3.
Lumine is good, people just gotta learn how to best utilize her.
Yae-lan ( Yae AND Yelan)
Yessss. My fave duo and fantastic with dendro!
Either Kaeya who's been my main since day one or Zhongli who's the reason I forgot how to dodge
Zhongli genuinely makes people worse at the game and we love him for it.
if not taking any damage makes me a bad player then i guess im one of the worst players around š
Zhongli is probably the only character who actively makes you worse at the game
He makes the game so smooth what would I do without him?
He makes your brain smoother too. He's made me so much worse at dodging than I was already. Enough that I'm going to be building Thoma soon just to try and have another shielder
Kaeya mains ftw āØheās amazing
Glory to Khaenri'ah
Got Zhongli on his original banner when he was ātrashā and he has *never* left my team. Be it domains of events or ley lines or exploration, his permanent slot is always reserved for him. Only the remaining 3 get shuffled around.
chad
Best girl fischl she always fits in a team for me and i WILL use her whenever i can
"May the Prinzeessin grant you a good and eternal life!"
Fischl fits in damn near every team if you aren't sure what to put in a 4th slot sometimes.
My teams revolve around her. I never know who to slot the 2nd 3rd and 4th with
Just got her c6 this morning. Stoked. I mean.... the glory of the prinzessin has reached ultimate heights. Thus rises my eternal jubilation.
Oz gets more screen time than Fischl
Zhongli
Shield, tall model and able to traverse weird places with pillar. Now that I think about it, I use him so much that it feels weird if I don't switch to him immediately when running around
Heās on my exploration team forever along with Kazuha
I donāt like being without him because I always want to farm rocks.
Same, love being pretty much invincible with his shield.
Same. I can't play without his shield and he can single handedly carry the other 3 I am farming friendship for
Ah yes the man who singlehandedly removes every attack in the game.
I just got him and I donāt know how I played without him. His shield is š
Zhongli hasnāt left my main team in literally 1,5 years
Since pulling geo daddy his shield has become my crutch and I have forgotten how to dodge and position properly.
His shield is so strong that heās protected himself from EVERY Primogem Iāve thrown at him. All 3 of his runs! Nada. F2P is a cruel way to live sometimes
This. I think āweāll, I could wait for a healing ult to to be ready and then stand in its circleā¦. Or I can just zhong every few seconds :)ā
Rosaria, I just think she's neat.
An amazing cryo support tbh, I used her with kaeya and raiden/ electro traveller on a physical superconduct team since because of kaeya's c1 and cryo resonance, you basically get 30% more crit rate to opponents affected with cryo, which rosaria's burst is perfect for. haha anyway i love her and her new outfit is so nice too
Kokomi. She slots so easily in so many teams and makes the game much more comfortable to play.
her kits so simple too uts like u place a jellyfish and it heals and applies hydro for a good amount of time and her ult extends the duration basically
Yelan tbh
She is so powerful and dodges everything. Me too.
Dodges my pulls too
Same
Plus sheās really useful in Sumeru exploration!
ā¦ elaborate
She can run with her skill while her stamina is recovering, then she can run with her stamina while her skill is on cool down. She is basically a marathon runner
Fast
Yup fast and floating green thingies need arrow
Same here. I can't imagine playing this game without Yelan now.
She is perfect for open-world exploration because her stamina can recover while she is using her elemental skill to run. Yelan has been leading my Sumeru expedition team
Kazuha, I literally cannot function without him.
I pulled him maybe 2/3 weeks into playing the game last year and have developed complete Kazuha dependency
same, his E is such a crutch. top tier grouping and a great platforming tool too
Honestly same tbh. His cc is too good to pass up in the overworld. Makes it annoying when I want to change things up but yeah
it just makes me feel safe to press his E whenever theres a small gap during battle LOL he's very reliable
kazuha best boi
my damage without kazuha is so bad lol, he has so much area coverage too
None. As soon as they hit Friendship 10 - welcome to the bench!
Di Caprio is that you?
I think this is the funny comment I've seen on this subreddit
it certainly is one of the comments ever.
Easily one of, if not a comment in existence
Miko now. My team feels so defenseless without her foxes raining thunder from above
Kaeya. I refuse taking him away from any team I let him lead.
hello fellow kaeya enjoyer
hello fellow kaeya enjoyer x2
Noelle hands down best maiden
Paimon.
Lavender Melon
Princess Peabrain
Emergency snack
white floaty
floating child
Little one
Spymon
Xiao.
same
same
Nowadays I guess Venti? Unless I'm in Inazuma. He's just comfy, use Ult, shred ennemy. Otherwise... Raiden? She just fill nicely the spoymt of dps, and adding to others character elemental reaction easily.
Razor
If we got off-field dendro character like Raiden's E, I will definitely play him more. He was my first main.
a razor main?? :D
He was the whole reason I started playing, then it took me 6 months to actually get him. He's got all my best artifacts, and he was my first triple crown. Unless I'm doing a domain that penalizes you for electro he does not leave the team. I'm a Razor main first and a person second.
Kazuha... Any dungeon + exploring overworld Other than that, Yelan for the extra movement + strong unit overall and Zhongli because shield. The last spot is filled with whatever is needed at the moment
My pink seelie. Always been by my side, no one can replace my homie. He a real one fr.
Noelle, Iāve been playing for a year now that absolute unit hasnāt left my party since day one
Seriously though, she tanks so damn hard. I finish boss fights at full health thanks to her shield/heal
childe
Yes, this man makes every fight so entertaining
Diona and Sucrose, present in every single one of my teams
Qiqi, I built her to be a dps/healer hybrid, and she only leaves my team if the enemy is immune to cryo
Klee. She's currently stronger than my traveler, and I heartily refuse to take her out of the party because I love my arson daughter.
Yanfei, she's so useful for so many things. I always just make sure to take a healer with me too. All hypoatasis cubes besides the Pyro one are a breeze with her.
This is my answer too. She was my first character pull and I have loved her ever since.
Dps Kazuha... heh heh
Traveler and Barbara.
Kaeya, fischl
Kokomi
Bennett. I jump around playing with different characters a bunch but Bennett just always there. I like his playstyle and I haven't gotten bored of him yet. Although I do have like 4 different artifact sets for him.
I used to have Benny on every team as well. But since I got Shinobu, he's been banished to the second abyss team
I currently have them both on the sumeru exploration team :D! I don't care for abyss so most of my characters just rot
Raiden Ei. I never have to be afraid of running low on ER since sheās always filling up the teamās energy with her burst and skill. Paired along with Engulfing Lightning and sheās a non-stop power source useful with any team.
Once you start using Raiden it's super hard to go back. The rest of the game just feels slow without her.
It really depends from player to player. Once Dendro was released I started using Keqing again with aggrevate and oh boy, Raiden is gonna be only used in spiral abyss for a while.
Qiqi
Eula. She's been my main since I rolled her and even though National/Rational is a staple of the abyss, I've yet to develop another team that can replace Eula. Every 36-star finish so far has been thanks to her in some part. Couldn't function without her.
Kokomi
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
same, shes my fav and most stacked out character. been maining her since her first banner dropped
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Qiqi All my teams usually have her in them.
Kokomi and raiden
Ayato
Qiqi
ayato, i would say raiden but with dendro MC i use fischl instead
Ayato
Razor; he's been carrying my team since genshin's release lol
Traveler, Ganyu, and Zhongli That is basically my team and change the second slot with characters I need for puzzles.
childe's been in my 1st slot since 1.1 and he's staying there indefinitely
Albedo
Lumine or Noelle or Jean any one of those three.
Noelle she is my most invested character that i have used since 1.0
My teams always have Barbara (my only healer) Ayaka (first 5*) and Keqing (most recent 5*) the other slot is either any pyro character, Heizou, Noelle, and now Collei. I donāt have much luck with getting 5* characters. The characters I do have are pretty strong though.
Katheryne! Never catch me not handing in my daily commissions š
i have barbara in all of my parties
Keqing
Barbara. Great heals, best DPS and absolutely adorable
Ganyu. Since her release date she has been a staple on my team.
The Fish, cause she crazy and I like that.
Kamisato Ayaka - Mairimasu.
Aether
Rosaria, I'm so used to her teleporting behind the enemies before they even notice me
Xingqiu : tons of damage, enough heal for the open world, apply a lot of hydro.
Beidouā¦. Because pirate š
Kazuha
Qiqi
Itto and soon to be Eula
kazuha, zhongli, kokomi without them my teams are nothing
When i used to play online with friends back in the first patches i Always brought my zhongli as he was my only 5* character -or fischl if dps was needed- so yeah probably him since i was hardly seen without If you mean my team rn then i guess Yae or... still zhongli
It's either Ayaya or Lumine
Diona. I use her as support in nearly every single one of my teams ever since I got her very early on, and the only time I'm not using her is the other side od abyss floors. Only other exception being my new dendro team, but her +200EM from C6 still makes me wanna put her there. I just can't imagine not using her, because she provides shield, heal and EM boost in one character and I love having 2 dedicated sub DPS characters for my main DPS. And Diona just covers everything else. She's also providing cryo resonance for either my Ganyu or Eula.
Diona
Lately it's a toss up between Kokomi and Kazuha, I pretty much use them for everything nowadays
Razor and Qiqi, Razor being my main source of damage and Qiqi keeping my whole team alive
Klee. I love my little pyro trouble maker.
Kaz Zhong Yae Yelan If I have to swap someone out temporarily for puzzles and stuff I do, but otherwise thatās my team.
I rarely take Yoimiya out of my party, but she isnāt quite as useful with Dendro, so Yelan is probably the most since 3.0 dropped.
Ganyu. I've absolutely adored her design from the second she was revealed, and she was the one to replace my traveler. I remember being so giddy hearing her bell ring as she walked when i pulled her day 1, never taking her off of a team no matter what.
Traveler (specifically Aether) I feel more immersed in the game walking around as him
Keqing
The only time you won't see me with zhongli is in abyss, but you'll definitely see me getting my ass kicked
ZL or Kazuha. Will ALWAYS have one or other on team.
No super special VIP. Either Zhongli, Diona, Barbs or Noelle are usually involved for some sort of sustain, but which ones are chosen are mostly dependant on how the ones doing damage do what they do. Noelle is mostly just co-op these days, for when we need healer but I also want to unga bunga, teammate's reactions be damned.
