Genshin Impact’s most popular characters: Genshin Impact pick rates

gamepur.com:

Genshin Impact has tons of different characters that are playable, and each has different levels of strength. Naturally, this means that some characters will be better at clearing endgame content over others.

It’s difficult to measure “pick rates” in Genshin Impact, as the game is a gacha game. This means an expensive, relatively low-selling character may have lower pick-rates, even though it’s not necessarily indicative of their strength.

However, with data combined from websites like Genshin Lab and SpiralAbyss.org, we’re able to get a good idea of a character’s general strength and pick rate. Different data collection sites have slightly different data, but the top 10 characters or so are mostly consistent. As a result, the following list is not necessarily ordered.

Here are some of Genshin Impact’s most popular characters.

Kazuha has a historically high pick rate since his release, due to his ability to do nearly everything at once. He buffs his team’s elemental damage as he swirls, has great crowd control abilities, and even does some good damage on his own as well.

He will likely stay relevant as a character. Unlike Venti who relies on crowd control, Kazuha is an all-rounder and his buffs will always be useful, whereas crowd control is less effective on bosses.

Zhongli is the ultimate safety pick for any account, as his shield invalidates much of the game. A well-built Zhongli can tank lots of damage with his shield, protecting your team greatly. It’s no wonder his pick rate is pretty high.

Zhongli is vital in teams that utilize DPS characters like Hu Tao, Xiao, and Arataki
