Genshin Impact is known for its huge roster of Genshin characters, which only continues to grow after each update that comes out. But with so many Genshin Impact characters, which ones do the fans like more?
What Makes a Popular Character?
Need a quick boost? Top up Genshin right now! Each update that HoYoverse releases has been in the habit of also releasing a new Genshin Impact character along with it. This also includes creating a banner specifically for the Genshin characters to increase the chances of players receiving them. Due to this, a lot of players have had experience with the newest Genshin Impact characters that have been coming out which can make their popularity either skyrocket or plummet depending on how well the fans rate them.
Along with the new updates keeping fans on their toes, players also gravitate towards Genshin Impact characters that perform the best in the game itself. Genshin Impact is an action RPG after all, so being able to have and play as the strongest Genshin Impact characters throughout the game is essential. Therefore, naturally, Genshin characters who are very powerful with lots of abilities and team potential will be likely to rank higher in a popularity contest.
Finally, something else to consider is how a Genshin Impact character is designed. Genshin Impact has many beautifully designed characters with their outfits, giving hints about their personalities and gameplay style. This is also helped by giving each Genshin character an in-depth description of how their lives really work, what region they’re from, etc. This helps make the Genshin Impact characters come to life along with some having their own quest lines before becoming playable in future updates.
The Fan Vote
A Reddit user going by ResidentSpin back in August revealed the results of a special popularity vote with the Genshin fanbase. It was a big survey where voters could list as many of their favorite Genshin Impact characters as they wanted with zero limits.
Below are the final results:
- Furina (55%)
- Neuvillete (37.9%)
- Navia(37.1%)
- Nahida(34.6%)
- Zhongli(32.9%)
The Genshin character in the number one spot is Furina. Considering the update that surrounded her, this should be no surprise. At the time of the survey, there was an arc in Fontaine that revolved around Furina and her story which made the Genshin character very interesting and likable to a lot of players. She is also a very strong Hydro element support character which allows players to use her in battle more often while still being able to enjoy the story elements and personality surrounding her.
Neuvillete arrived in second place thanks to his incredible combat abilities. As of writing, he is known as one of if not the best Hydro element DPS (Damage per Second) Genshin Impact characters which makes him great for fighting headfirst. Neuvillete has a special charge attack that is incredibly popular for its AOE (Area of Effect) damage. His kit overall is very powerful which will likely make him stay popular for quite a while.
When we look at Navia’s vote, this is where things get a little more controversial. With Navia taking the third spot, many fans were a little confused as to how and accused the votes of being biased. This is because as of the survey, there was a limited-time banner with Navia that tons of players were trying to get her with. With this in mind, it could make sense for some biased votes to be put in the survey due to being excited over a new Genshin Impact character or limited-time banner.
With Nahida, we go back to how powerful a Genshin character can be and how that affects their popularity. Nahida is said to be popular due to how often she is used on teams thanks to how much Dendro element she can give in her DPS play. She is a very strong Genshin Impact character with very few limitations which will naturally make her very popular among a lot of players.
Finally, there is Zhongli in the fifth place. Just like Nahida and Neuvillete, Zhongli is popular due to his sheer strength. Zhongli has gotten a lot of buffs over the years which has made him considered overpowered before. He is widely known as one of the best supports in Genshin Impact while still being able to pack a punch. With that being said, it’s no wonder why he was able to sneak his way to the top final results of the vote.
How Do I Get These Characters?
Now that we know what the most popular characters in Genshin Impact as of right now are, how can you get them? Most of the characters mentioned can thankfully still be earned through wishes and banners. When the Genshin Impact characters were first released, they had special limited-time banners that made getting them a lot easier. However, these banners have already passed, so you will have to get them the old-fashioned way through the regular banners. It may take a lot of wishes before you get a 4 or 5-star character at all, so it’s going to take a while. Be sure to check the banner’s catalog before casting your wishes to be sure that you have a chance at the Genshin Impact character you really want!
Conclusion
With so many Genshin characters in Genshin Impact, it can be hard to imagine having a favorite. To many players though, it is simply a matter of having the strongest and most versatile character possible. However, having a well written character with a good story can also make them incredibly compelling and personal to a fan. Combine that with a great kit in battle and you practically have an almost perfect Genshin Impact character. Furina wins the votes thanks to her very well-written story and quest line while still being a strong character on the team. However, other players and fans may prefer stronger combat than the other which is how Genshin Impact characters like Neuvillete or Zhongli scored highly. It ultimately all comes down to a player’s preference, so what’s yours?
