Genshin Impact is one of the most popular gacha games, primarily thanks to its free-to-play model and cross-platform accessibility. The game has a significant number of players playing and traveling its vast, beautiful open world.
The game has multiple 4-star characters on its roster, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. But not all of them can boast of being the best. These six best Genshin Impact 4-star characters are powerhouses that can either deal intense damage or protect their allies in other ways.
Bennett
Bennett is arguably the strongest 4-star character in Genshin Impact with a massively powerful Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage, that deals bonus ATK to enemies. The character also has a strong healing ability that allows him to protect teammates during battle.
Bennett is a worthy character to use as a support, but his strength is also a great option if you want to use him for offense. The Pyro character can be leveled into a lethal weapon that also provides great defense, making him powerful yet balanced.
Xingqiu
Xingqiu is a 4-star character with one of the more balanced kits, as he can reduce damage, heal, and also deal damage. This makes the character more useful than others because he’s essentially a jack of all trades and comes in handy in all types of scenarios.
Xingqiu’s Raincutter applies Hydro for easy merging with other elements, and Fatal Rainscreen offers damage reduction and healing. The character positioned in a support role can be most optimal as he can heal members while also helping their health from getting too low.
Xiangling
Xiangling is an off-field Pyro DPS character who relies on her Elemental Burst to deal significant damage. Since her powers are useful when she’s off-field, that makes the character a great asset to any team.
While Xiangline is strong, she isn’t a tank character, and she needs an energy recharge due to the huge strain of constantly using her bursts. She can be a great character paired with Bennett, due to his healing and reducing damage effects.
Sucrose
Sucrose is regarded as one of the best 4-star characters in Genshin Impact because of her crowd control ability that can be used to pull enemies together and take them down using AoE attacks. She also has a passive ability that greatly buffs teammates by sharing her EM.
Sucrose is a great support character, easy to build, and significantly strong even at the base level. She can also use Viridescent Venerer synergy to boost the damage dealt to enemies by removing their elemental resistance.
Fischl
Fischl is another 4-star character who has strong abilities that deal damage to enemies while she’s off-field. During the duration of Fischl remaining off the field, enemies are constantly dealt electro damage through her Nightrider ability.
Fischl can easily gel with any team, as her abilities don’t require any specific elements that would require a specific type of team. She can help her team by producing energy particles and charging up allies. This is perfect for powerhouse characters like Neuvillette, who can deal insane damage under the right circumstances,
Diona
Diona is another jack of all trades 4-star character that can provide shields, healing, and Cryo. She can use her Elemental Burst to enable shield while giving a healing over time effect. This makes her perfect for teams that require strong support.
Diona’s ability to generate and then share Cryo particles with allies is an especially nifty effect that can be useful for those using Freeze, Melt, or Superconduct reactions. With enough time and effort to set up Diona, she can also deal significant damage. That, paired with her shield and healing, makes her one of the best.
