Rank 5: Venti
Venti was the first character to receive his own Gacha banner at the release of Genshin Impact. He is especially popular among many players as he is considered the original and representative.
His outstanding abilities as a crowd-controller also make him a part of many different teams in the game. You gave him 9.52% (455 votes), which places him just a few votes ahead of Raiden Shogun.
Who is Venti? Venti is the current mortal vessel of the Anemo Archon Barbatos. He comes from Mondstadt and enjoys drinking alcohol. If you can’t find him in a bar, you’ll surely see the bard playing his songs somewhere in Mondstadt, which the residents love.
To this day, Venti remains one of the most useful characters in Genshin Impact and is in our tier list in the SS-tier.
- Weapon: Bow
- Element: Anemo
- Specialty: Sub-DPS

Rank 4: Kazuha Kaedehara
Most players probably regret not pulling Kazuha. He came just before the update of the new Inazuma region and characters like Ayaka and Raiden Shogun. Kazuha was seen as a combination of Venti and Xiao, which is why many did not see the utility in him – wrongly, as it turned out later.
In the community, one often hears players complaining about not having Kazuha and having pulled other characters instead. He brings strong support and DPS abilities through his skills.
Moreover, he is an excellent crowd-controller. Kazuha ranks first among the most used characters in the endgame dungeon (via spiralabyss.org)
With over 100 votes more compared to Venti, you promote him to rank 4 – 12.3% (588 votes).
Who is Kazuha Kaedehara? The gentle and poetic Kazuha wanders through various regions without rest and specific goals. From time to time, he pays a visit to his “sister” Beidou on her ship; the two are very good friends.
Kazuha Kaedehara is an excellent Sub-DPS, who can greatly support his teammates through his special ability. He is in our tier list in the SS-tier.
- Weapon: One-Handed Sword
- Element: Anemo
- Specialty: Sub-DPS

Rank 3: Ganyu
The podium is led by archer Ganyu, who was considered absolutely weak and useless at her release. However, this rumor quickly proved false when she entered the game. To this day, she is one of the strongest Main DPS characters in Genshin Impact.
No wonder you have placed her in the top 3 with 15.21% (727 votes). Furthermore, her last banner ended at the beginning of February, making her, after Albedo, the character that took the longest time to get a rerun.
Who is Ganyu? Ganyu is a secretary from Liyue, who is half human and half Qilin. You can recognize the Qilin attribute by the prominent horns on her head. She works incredibly hard every day and is very sleepy due to that. Moreover, she constantly forgets things because she is so old – which is incredibly embarrassing for her.
Ganyu is in the SS-tier of our tier list due to her extraordinary abilities as a main DPS.
- Weapon: Bow
- Element: Cryo

Rank 2: Zhongli
Rank 2 with 16.13% (771 votes) is occupied by Zhongli. He is the strongest shielder in Genshin Impact and can enrich any team with his presence. He has already received a rerun, after players created drama around him. Subsequently, Zhongli was buffed and got a second chance in a Gacha banner.
Who is Zhongli? Zhongli is the Geo Archon of Liyue and knows an immense amount about all kinds of rocks and crystals. He also works for the city’s funeral company. As Zhongli has been alive for over 6000 years, he knows a lot about the history of Teyvat – probably more than he has revealed so far.
As the strongest and most reliable shielder in Genshin Impact, he is in the SS-tier of our tier list.
- Weapon: Polearm
- Element: Geo
- Specialty: Sub-DPS and Support

Rank 1: Xiao
While all characters received a character wish that lasted 3 weeks, you could only get Xiao for 2 weeks in February 2021. It’s no surprise that some of you had no opportunity to obtain him one or multiple times.
The majority of you wish for Xiao’s return in a rerun banner with 17.86% (854 votes). He is easy to play, deals a tremendous amount of damage, and becomes even stronger with additional constellations.
Who is Xiao? Alatus, or as he now calls himself, Xiao, is considered the only surviving Yaksha. Yaksha were sent by Morax, the former Geo Archon, to war against monsters and other embodiments of hatred from the gods. This task destroyed their mental health over time, causing them to turn against each other, succumb to darkness, or disappear.
Xiao now lives in seclusion and avoids crowds. He often stays at Wangshu’s hotel.
The Yaksha finds himself in the S-tier of our tier list due to his strong main DPS abilities.
- Weapon: Polearm
- Element: Anemo
- Specialty: Main DPS
- Last available in the game: February 3, 2021 – February 17, 2021
Additionally, you mentioned Albedo, Itto, and Eula in the comments, but we did not include them in the survey as they are set to receive a confirmed rerun or banner in Patch 2.3 soon.
