Who Is the Best Melee character in Genshin Impact? – Answered

Genshin Impact offers plenty of stacking in its gameplay as well as building up units upon units to best suit your own play style. But if there is one question that never stops being asked, it is who exactly from within its DPS ranks should you be rolling for whenever you make a Wish?

Who Is the Best Melee character in Genshin Impact?

Ayaka is a five star Cryo character who wields a sword. Her rarity in getting pulled by players is far and away the most understandable of the lot for her raw power. Ayaka happens to be arguably the strongest melee character in the game as of this write up – version 3.4. The best weapon to equip her with is the Mistsplitter Reforged, although being a five star weapon, the Amenoma Kaguichi is a good backup option instead.

Why Ayaka is so powerful is due to many factors such as her quick cooldown timers. Furthermore, her entire kit delivers AOE Cryo damage and impact, so much so that her heavy strikes hits multiple enemies. As a Cyro type, this happens to be one of the best types to formulate a squad around. We recommend Kaeya, Kazuha and Kokomi in a team with her to make the most out of her Freeze effect. Ensure to kit her up with as many Blizzard Strayer’s too for this reason alone when it comes to decking out her Artifacts.

Since Ayaka is a five star, our other suggestions who tend to be possibly easier to obtain. If you happen to end up rolling for Bennett, Fischl or potentially Ganyu, these characters will be worth building up in place of Ayaka. Bennett’s damage output that can be buffed makes him a more than viable unit to have for his additional healing and support elements. Fischl is an extremely helpful sub DPS character who continuously aids in stacking elemental damage whenever she is on the team.

When it comes to Ganyu, the only other five star we will be recommending, she hits hard much like Ayaka, including that of being able to attack multiple targets. She is ideal to include in your primary team for the amount of damage she can dish out that can be charged and is based on Cryo.
