Every character is great, but let's see which are the best...
In Teyvat, a world where the energy of seven elements can be used, people with ambitions strong enough may be recognized by the gods and be granted a Vision. These allow them the ability to use and manipulate the element of the Vision that was granted to them, giving them unique and strong skills.
Each playable character in Genshin Impact has its own Vision of a particular element: Anemo, Pyro, Cryo, Hydro, Electro, Geo, and Dendro. These have their own abilities that can act as a support, healer or just to deal a lot of damage. Do you know what are the best characters for each element? Here we’ll be going through the best characters so far for each element.
Anemo
Anemo archon Venti is one of the most popular Anemo characters
The characters that have Anemo Visions have abilities related to the wind. Anemo is an element that was misunderstood in early versions, the only character from this element that was considered “Good” was Venti. Now, people see its true power and use the characters of these elements as amazing supports, healers, or main damage dealers.
