She doesn't quite match Pyro DPS Diluc's incredible AoE damage, but outshines him in single-target damage. Overall, she's arguably the best Pyro character in the entire game and has great animations to go along with

Sacrificial Jade offers a decent amount of Crit Rate and Elemental Mastery for Nahida in Genshin Impact . It’s not a perfect weapon for her, but definitely a useful one. With Sacrificial Jade, you’re able to build Nahida with more Crit DMG, especially considering she also gets an extra Crit Rate from her Ascension Passive. The extra Elemental Mastery is also nice since it’s one of her Core stats in Genshin Impa

Part of Xiao's power comes from his uniqueness in his role. He's by far and away the most DPS-oriented Anemo unit. He also has a unique play style focused on diving attacks that easily breaks enemy shields before doing massive damage as Xiao dives over and over. Plus, it can be a ton of fun to win battles by jumping up and down repeate

In this Instagram post, min_mmu shows off Nilou's iconic red hair and dress, which are very important for the unique, overall design of the character. The detailing of the costume for Genshin Impact's newest cosplay favorite is also extremely complex, showcasing many gold accents that help raise the cosplay to a higher level, reaching the grace of Nilou herself. Finally, it's easy to see the graceful personality of the character, simply through min_mmu's pose which matches the official art of the character. For those looking to attempt this cosplay at home, many full versions of the costume exist for purchase online, though attempting to create it may prove to be a fun challenge, especially considering the amount of details that Nilou

This is an enhanced Drake that can attack both in the air and on the ground . Furthermore, he will develop Elemental resistance to the elements he takes the most damage from sometimes. He can be quite hard to defeat with just one elemental

Tighnari is a versatile 5-star Dendro character in Genshin Impact, and has quickly skyrocketed into cosplay popularity. Fans fell in love with the design of the Verdant Strider, mainly due to his fennec fox ears. Due to his overall appeal, and Zzz Pan Yinhu the importance of Genshin Impact' s new Dendro Element, Tighnari became a popular choice for many cosplayers, including Instagram user Lujiuerhei , who shows off his wonderfully accurate take on the charac

Finally, Genshin Impact cosplay isn't purely limited to the main playable cast, and often branches out to NPCs and antagonists as well. Though not a playable character yet, Scaramouche is one of the fan favorite NPC characters that has stolen the hearts of many players, especially with his recent reappearance in the story of Genshin Impact Version 3.1 . This, as well as the characters unique design and subsequent redesign in the newest patch has lead many to cosplay the character, showing their support for Scaramouche on his quest to become a god. Cosplayer Lujiuerhei, on top of his Tighnari cosplay, has also shown off a wonderful Scaramouche cosplay as w

When comparing the two characters, Nahida fulfills a more sub-DPS and supportive role because her abilities will allow her to be off-field. She's a strong Dendro enabler and could even be the one who triggers Elemental Reactions since all her Normal Attacks can inflict Dendro. Nahida could possibly be the best Dendro character in the game as her elemental application has 100% uptime, meaning players do not have to wait for any cooldown in order to apply Dendro to enemies. Additionally, Nahida can increase Elemental Mastery for active characters, which would increase damage for reactions. Nahida is also quite flexible within teams and can even synergize well with upcoming leaked characters in Genshin Impa

Nahida doesn’t really need the passive of Sacrificial Fragments considering her Elemental Skill only needs five or six seconds to be available again. Meanwhile, her Tri-Karma Purification stays for up to 25 seconds. However, this Catalyst is good for its immense Elemental Mastery subs

While combat is important, the vast majority of the game is spent exploring, and being the fastest in the game makes Yelan adept at exploring. On top of that, she's one of the highest damage Hydro characters in the entire g

Yoimiya's Niwabi Fire Dance transforms all her Normal Attacks into Blazing Arrows, which increases her damage and converts all attacks to Pyro for a limited time. During her Niwabi Fire Dance state, she cannot use her level 2 aimed Charged Shot and will primarily focus on firing arrows through her auto-attacks. With this ability, Yoimiya will synergize with many support characters who can help her trigger Pyro-related Elemental Reactions in Genshin Impa29-kindest-anime-characters-ranked.jpg
