Best Electro Characters in Genshin Impact – Tier List

This list is shocking. Seriously.

Travelers, we have a confession to make. The confession is that we adore our electro wielding characters. The amount of characters that we have fallen in love with is out of this world. We’re always adding them to our rotation in battle and they never disappoint. If you carefully equip an electro character with great artifacts they can do some heavy damage, and we love that. If you main an electro this list is for you. We’re going through all of the electro characters in Genshin Impact and we’re ranking them. Here are the best electro characters in Genshin Impact.

Best Electro Characters in Genshin Impact

You may have your reasons for choosing other characters to add to your rotation. In this list we’re counting down on who is the top electro character. In this list you’ll be looking at why these characters placed high or low on the scale. Even if you have found a character on here who has ranked low we still love them and we appreciate all that they do for the traveler. With that being said here’s the best electro characters in Genshin Impact.

12. Lisa

Ah, Lisa. She’s one of the first electro characters you come across during the game. This beautiful librarian is smart and is always finding time to compliment you. Her soothing voice and gorgeous outfits unfortunately can’t make up for how weak she is. This is why she’s on this list. She’s a four star character who wields a catalyst. She resides in Mondstadt and even if you use certain abilities it’s still not enough to climb the ranks. She’s just terribly weak. Sorry Lisa. You’re still a high ten in our hearts.

11. Beidou

Best Beidou Build in Genshin Impact

If you’re a fan of sailing, drinking, and exploring you’re going to love Beidou. This fiery brunette enjoys a good fight and making jokes. Did we mention she’s also captain of her own ship? She’s a baddie and has potential to be a strong character. We’ve even used her a few times in our rotations when we first started out. She’s just not at the level that the other electro characters are since she is someone you meet early on. She’s a great DPS player and if you choose to make Beidou your main you’re going to want to find high quality artifacts to make her strong. Beidou is a four star character who wields a claymore.

10. Traveler (Electro)

Unfortunately traveler you’re towards the bottom of this list. Paimon believes you’re strong and over time you’re going to be stronger. There are just others out there who are better than you are and that’s okay. You find out you can use electro powers once you have entered Inazuma and have unlocked the Statue of the Seven. Your buffs and elemental powers can do some damage but we won’t place you at the top of the list. There’s just others who are better. Keep training, traveler! Your day will come. You’re a five star character that wields a sword and that has to mean something.

9. Dori

Dori is a resourceful DPS who is from Sumeru. People typically play her as a healer and that’s why she’s sort of at the bottom of the list. She has great healing potential and she’s not that strong. We mostly see her as support for her teammates. Nothing wrong with healing but this rank is about strength. She just doesn’t quite make it. Dori is a four star character who wields a claymore. She’s a cool looking character but that’s just about it.

8. Kuki Shinobu

The lucky Kuki Shinobu is the second-in-command in Arataki’s gang. This lucky girl is incredibly smart, like seriously, she should be the leader of Arataki’s gang. She could have been a lawyer and yet she chose to follow alongside Arataki. We get it. He’s Arataki. We’re not talking about him, though. Kuki Shinobu is an S-tier character according to how rare she is. If you manage to get ahold of this four star character you’ll want to hold onto her tight. She’s not the strongest character but man is she fun to play around with if you pair her up with Cryno characters. She relies too much on others and that’s why she’s at this ranking.

7. Cyno

If you’re looking for a solid DPS than Cyno is your guy. Some would say he’s one of the best electro characters out there. So, what gives? Why is he so low on our list? He ranks low on our list because there’s someone else on our list who outranks him by a long shot. If you’re wanting to add Cyno to your team you’re going to need a lot of primogems to wish on. He’s a five star character who wields a pole arm so acquiring him will be challenging. Try your luck at it and maybe you’ll come across Cyno.

6. Kujou Sara

Support is something Kujou Sara excels at. Have you heard of Kujou Sara before? She works with the Tenryou Commission, actually, working with them is putting it lightly. She runs the entire operation as their leader. Intimidating, resilient, and supportive are words we would say to describe Kujou Sara. She’s a four star character who wields a bow and she can do some major ATTK damage. That’s why adding her to your team is beneficial because of the bonuses she gives.

5. Razor

Razor is probably a top fan favorite when it comes to characters. He’s precious and we want to protect him. Adding him low on our list wouldn’t make sense because he’s Razor. This little guy was raised by wolves, therefore, he fights with his heart and soul. He was raised to be fierce. Wolves literally taught him everything he needs to know about fighting. With his powerful elemental bursts and his ability to be versatile in combat he’s up here with the top five. Razor is a four star character who wields a claymore and if you build him accordingly he can be powerful.

4. Yae Miko

The beautiful and deadly Yae Miko is a five star character who wields a catalyst. She is coming along with new characters during the return of Raiden Shogun update. With her release will come new characters as well. The banner will come February 16th and she’s going to be a perfect addition to your team. She is great with a team so make sure you play her as support. The reason she’s so great is because she’s flexible and over time she will become one of the best.

3. Raiden Shogun

The incredible Raiden Shogun. Remember when we were talking about Cyno and why he isn’t high on our list? It’s because of Raiden Shogun. She outperforms him by a lot. She isn’t a side character. You need to make her your main DPS. When you max out her constellations and give her an incredible build using artifacts you will have a strong character. She can destroy opponets with her pole arm. She’s a five star character and is perfect if you’re looking for a character with battery abilities. All hail Raiden Shogun and her awesomeness.

2. Keqing

Keqing is fast. She’s like lightning. You can spot her dashing around and slicing down enemies with her sword. Playing her is just fun. Her rapid attacks make it impossible for enemies to strike her down. This is why she’s high on our list. The reason why she’s high on our list is because she’s incredibly versatile. She may be considered average, and some players may find her to be easy, but for someone who wants to have a character who’s easy to use at the beginning, she’s great. We wanted to make her number two on this list. She’s a five star character who wields a sword.

1. Fischl

We’re going to be honest. We main Fischl. We main her and because we main her she’s number one on the list. We’re only half joking. Yes, we do main her, but there’s a reason Fischl is an incredibly great character. She’s one of the best well-rounded characters you can add on your team. If you build her perfectly and use the right artifacts, it’s incredibly rewarding playing her. This makes her top notch DPS character. All hail Prinzessin der Verurteilung! Fischl is a four star character who wields a bow and man can she use that bow with ease. Don’t believe us? Go ahead, try adding Fischl to your party and you’ll see what we’re talking about.
