Another year arrives, and with them another batch of new players entersing the world of Genshin Impact. If you are one of those, well, you’re in for a treat, that’s for sure. Not only that, building characters, artifact stats, elemental reactions, and team-building. Maybe too much to handle at one, right?

In this guide, we’ll tackle team building first, as it’s one of the basics in the game. Every combination of characters, new or old, will result in a different team with a different strategy. We’ll show you some teams that’ll help you learn and make your own.

10. Traveler, Amber, Lisa, and Kaeya

It’s obvious the first one should be the starter team. Before you pull for anyone in any banner, these four characters will be given for free to you. Neither Amber, Lisa, or Kaeya will cost you any wishes, so make the most use of these characters. Amber’s and Lisa’s ranged attacks, together with the Traveller’s and Kaeya’s melee DPS will make an all-round team.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • Balanced team with various elements and positions
  • Free with no cost on primogems
  • Traveller can be an Anemo, Geo, or Electro character

Team’s details:

  • Traveller: DPS
  • Amber: Sub DPS
  • Lisa: Enabler
  • Kaeya: DPS

9. Beidou, Xingqiu, Fischl, and Sucrose

In this team, we find the pirate captain Beidou. Next to her, we have another Electro character Fischl (for passive damage), a Hydro character Xingqiu (for healing and Hydro applying), and Sucrose (for elemental resistance decrease in enemies). This team of support enables Beidou to increase her DPS to conquer the 7 seas.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • Beidou’s counter is a powerful nuke
  • Electro resistance reduced
  • Passive extra damage from Fischl, Xingqiu, and electrocharged

Team’s details:

  • Beidou: DPS
  • Xingqiu: Healer and Enabler
  • Fischl: Enabler
  • Sucrose: Enabler

8. Xiao, Sucrose, Barbara, and Xingqiu

A double element pair: Anemo and Hydro. The Anemo resonance makes Xiao’s attacks faster and his DPS greater. The Hydro resonance increases the healing received from Barbara a Xingqiu. This helps stop Xiao’s death, which is always near as he loses HP when using his elemental burst, a.k.a. his main DPS ability.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • One of the best DPS in-game
  • Best 4-star healer
  • Hydro bonus and passive damage
  • Fast energy recharge thanks to battery
Team’s details:
  • Xiao: DPS
  • Sucrose: Battery, CC, and Enabler
  • Barbara: Healer
  • Xingqiu: Healer and Enabler

7. Keqing, Fischl, Chongyun, and Xingqiu

The DPS now is Keqing, from the Qixing of Liyue. Her three supports will be Fischl, Chongyun, and Xingqiu. Energy recharge and sub- DPS areis given by Fischl’s skill, and Xingqiu and Chongyun’s goal is to cause elemental reactions and freeze everything in their way. Kkeqing will have free rein with these three helping.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • One of the best DPS in early-game
  • Makes various elemental reactions: frozen (Cryo + Hydro), superconductor (Cryo + Electro) and electro-charged (Hydro+Electro)

Team’s details:

  • Keqing: DPS
  • Fischl: Enabler
  • Chongyun: Sub DPS and enabler
  • Xingqiu: Enabler and healer

6. Qiqi,  Barbara, Chongyun, and Razor

Two DPS, or just one, you decide. What do I mean? Well, Razor is a DPS for sure, with his super Electro elemental burst and all. On the other hand, Qiqi can deal tons of damage thanks to her tons of ATK. This can make her a DPS as well as a healer. To have both of them attack or just one of them is your choice.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • Best healers in the early game
  • Constant healing
  • Good crowd control with enemies’ freezing

Team’s details:

  • Qiqi: Healer, Enabler, and DPS or just Healer
  • Barbara: Healer and Enabler
  • Chongyun: Enabler
  • Razor: Enabler and sub DPS or DPS

5. Diluc, Chongyun, Barbara, and Fischl

And here we start to have some really good DPS. The first example is Diluc, the best early-game DPS character in the Game. His Pyro element can make amplifying reactions such as Melt (with Chongyun’s Cryo), Vaporize (with Barbara’s Hydro), or Overload (with Fischl’s Electro). These reactions increase his damage a mile further, making him unstoppable.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • One of the best DPS in the game
  • Good crowd control with freezing
  • Passive damage with electro skill
  • Various elemental reactions
  • Two of the best 4-star supports

Team’s details:

  • Diluc: DPS
  • Chongyun: Sub DPS and Enabler
  • Barbara: Healer and Enabler
  • Fischl: Enabler

4. Sayu, Xiangling, Zhongli, and Albedo

Sayu is an Inazuman shinobi. Inazuma is a region you may or may not have encountered yet. It doesn’t matter because the banners will give you every 4-star regardless of their region. Zhongli and Albedo can prepare the field with their skills, and Sayu will spread Xiangling’s Pyro thanks to her powerful burst.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • Best Shield from Zhongli
  • Field damage from Albedo and Zongli
  • Xiangling constant Pyro damage
  • Sayu’s skill enables her to attack lots of enemies at once
  • Also healing from her burst

Team’s details:

  • Sayu: DPS and Healer
  • Xiangling: Enabler
  • Zhongli: Sub DPS and Shielder
  • Albedo: Sub DPS and Shielder 

3. Zhongli, Albedo, Jean, and Xiao

Image
Body Image
Why the same pair as before? Because they are amazing of course. The shields increase damage thanks to the Geo resonance, and the passive damage from both is outstanding. In this case, Xiao is the jumping DPS, with Jean preparing a healing field to stop him from dying. A perfect team, if you ask me.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • Best Shield from Zhongli
  • Field damage from Albedo and Zongli
  • Full healing in Jean’s Area
  • Amazing DPS from Xiao
Team’s details:
  • Zhongli: Sub DPS and Shielder
  • Albedo: Sub DPS and Shielder
  • Jean: Healer and Enabler
  • Xiao: DPS

2. Tartaglia, Kazuha, Xiangling, and Bennett

Body Image
And we start the end with a nuker team. What is a nuker team? It’s a team centred around a DPS that can deal tons of damage in a short time, in this case, Tartaglia. Kazuha, Xiangling, and Bennet exist to prepare the enemies through various methods so that Childe’s nuke (in this case his elemental burst) can deal up to one million damage.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • Strong support from Xiangling’s elemental reaction, Bennett’s attack increase, and Kazuha’s elemental resistance decrease.
  • Amazing DPS as Childe
  • Tartaglia can be both a ranged (archer) DPS or a melee (polearm) DPS
  • Nuker bursts
  • Bennet’s healing
  • Easy to use
Team’s details:
  • Tartaglia: DPS
  • Kazuha: Enabler
  • Xiangling: Enabler
  • Bennett: Enabler and Healer

1. Raiden Shogun, Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Bennett

Image
Body Image
A similar team? Well, yes. But how can humans compare to archons? Raiden Shogun’s nuke is her elemental burst, whose damage is increased with the number of bursts used before. The other three characters’ role is to use their burst to both prepare enemies and prepare the Shogun’s burst. Well, even without support, she’s a formidable enemy indeed.

What Makes This Team Great:

  • Shogun is one of the best new DPS
  • Energy recharge through the roof
  • Strong support from Xiangling and Xingqiu reactions and Bennet’s increase in attack
  • Healing from Bennet
  • Passive Electro damage even when Raiden is not on the field
  • Easy to use
  • One of the best teams in-game at the moment
Team’s details:
  • Raiden Shogun: DPS
  • Xiangling: Enabler
  • Xingqiu: Enabler
  • Bennett: Enabler and Healer
 

Team building may cause a shock for some people at first glance. However, it’s not that easy once you know the different roles and strong points of each character. We hope these teams can give you a little push to start building your own team, which you’ll play with and have lots of fun.​
