[Top 10] Genshin Impact Best Teams That Wreck Hard!

Genshin Impact Best Teams
Updated:
17 May 2022

Every new player has asked themself these questions at least once: “Is my team okay?”, “Should I change my support?” or “What is the perfect team?”. Well, I’m sorry, there is no perfect team in Genshin Impact. However, here we study what we think are the top 10 teams that cover huge damage and flexibility. To sum up, teams that wreck hard!

First, we should explain the different roles they can have: damage dealers, DPS  and sub DPS; or supports, healers with healing abilities, shielders that protect your characters, batteries who recharge energy easily for your team, crow controllers (CC) who control enemies movements, and enablers who increase the DPS damage.

10. Raiden Shogun, Xiangling, Xinqiu, and Bennett

In this team, we find our favorite Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun (also known as Ei to her friends), and the three best 4-star supports: Pyro Xiangling and Bennett, and Hydro Xingqiu. Remember that double Pyro characters give the team an ATK boost!

This is a burst team, which means a team that mainly uses their characters’ elemental bursts to deal damage. In this case, you should first use Raiden’s elemental skill (which increases her damage depending on bursts used), Bennett, Xiangling, and Xinqiu’s bursts, just before using Ei’s and start hitting like a truck.

Between the elemental reactions, Bennett’s damage increase, and Raiden’s DPS, she will be unstoppable.

Roles:

  • Raiden Shogun: DPS
  • Xiangling: Enabler
  • Xinqiu: Enabler
  • Bennet: Enabler

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Easy to get (three 4-star characters)
  • Strong elemental reactions
  • Two damage increases (Raiden’s ES and Bennett EB)
  • Healing
  • Pyro resonance

9.  Xiangling, Bennett, Tartaglia, and Kazuha

Here we have another burst team, repeating Xiangling and Bennet. This time Xingqiu changes to the Anemo swordsman Kazuha and Raiden Shogun changes to Hydro Tartaglia. We maintain the double Pyro, one of the best elemental resonances.

In another article, Tartaglia is shown as the best nuker character because of his elemental burst and flexibility. And that’s how you can use him in this team.

After Bennet, Xiangling, and Kazuha’s burst (for increased damage, vaporization, and resistance decrease) you should make Tartaglia take his melee stance and unleash his burst, killing all the enemies in the arena at once.

Roles:

  • Xiangling: Enabler
  • Bennett: Enabler
  • Tartaglia: DPS
  • Kazuha: Enabler and sub DPS

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Strong vaporize reaction
  • Elemental attacks resistance decrease with Kazuha’s Viridescent Venerer artifacts
  • Damage increase
  • Healing
  • One of the best DPS in the game
  • Pyro resonance

8. Jean, Xiao, Zhongli, and Albedo

Two Anemo characters and two Geo characters. It seems a bit poor in variety but the continuous crystallization and shields paired with the Geo resonance improve damage by 15%. Moreover, having two Anemo characters increases your speed and decreases their cooldowns.

This is an easy team to play with. Your strategy should be placing Albedo’s elemental skill and activating Zhongli’s pillar and shield. After that, you can use Jean and Xiao’s elemental skills to charge their elemental burst and use them in succesion.

With Xiao jumping up and down in a safe healing zone and with passive geo damage and shield, he will be killing enemies non-stop.

Roles:

  • Jean: Healer and battery
  • Xiao: DPS
  • Zhongli: Shielder
  • Albedo: Shielder and sub DPS

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Anemo and Geo elemental resonances
  • Jean’s healing
  • Permanent shielding
  • Difficult to die
  • Albedo’s passive Geo damage

7. Hu Tao, Zhongli, Albedo, and Xiangling

Now we have the same structure: two pairs of characters of different elements. In this case Pyro and Geo. Both elemental resonances are extremely good and increase your damage without any time limits or cooldowns.

How to use this team? Well, for starters Hu Tao has an extremely good DPS and is a great nuker as well. Xiangling is a great enabler for this carry: her first and sixth constellations decrease Pyro resistance and increase its damage.

This, together with a double protective shield that prevents Hu Tao from dying, and Albedo’s passive damage, makes this team one of the best.

Roles:

  • Hu Tao: DPS
  • Zhongli: Shield
  • Albedo: Shield and sub DPS
  • Xiangling: Enabler

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Strong DPS
  • Permanent shielding
  • Pyro and Geo elemental resonances
  • Albedo’s passive Geo damage

6. Venti, Ganyu, Mona, and Diona

Now we start with crowd-controlling teams. These teams excel at fighting a bunch of small enemies (like the elusive slimes or the blink-blink Electro witch) and crowding them together before hitting them with a nuke.

In this team you should first use Mona’s elemental skill, so they start attacking her double. After that, a chain of bursts is in order: Mona’s (damage increase), Venti’s (best crowd control), Diona’s, and Ganyu’s burst (freezing, healing and energy recharge).

Because Venti’s Swirl reaction will infuse your enemies with Mona’s Hydro, they will freeze with Ganyu’s burst. After that, just spam Ganyu’s charged attacks (which, let me tell you, hit like a missile) and destroy them!

Roles:

  • Venti: Sub DPS and CC
  • Ganyu: DPS
  • Mona: Enabler
  • Diona: Healer and battery

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Best CC (Venti and Mona)
  • Elemental attacks resistance decrease with Venti’s Viriscent Venerer artifacts
  • Healing
  • Possible perma-frost
  • Damage increase
  • Cryo resonance

5. Ayaka, Venti, Bennett, and Tartaglia

Again we find Venti in this CC team, also known as the Anemo Archon (and the mob monster God…). As you can see, the character’s elements are really similar, so you can already guess the strategy will be similar as well.

In this case, we should use Bennet’s burst to increase our damage. After that, Venti’s burst to CC your enemies is important, just before Tartaglia’s burst (a great nuker and Hydro applier).  The only thing left is to spam Ayaka’s charged attacks, which can hit far away.

With your damage increase and the constant freezing and shatter reactions in our favorite vortex, those Hilichurls won’t have a second to relax.

Roles:

  • Ayaka: DPS
  • Venti: Battery and CC
  • Bennett: Enabler
  • Tartaglia: Sub DPS

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Strong DPS
  • Possible freezing
  • Healing
  • Good CC
  • Elemental attacks resistance decrease with Venti’s Viriscent Venerer artifacts
  • Damage increase

4. Ganyu, Xiangling, Bennett, and Zhongli

You may think we are repeating characters, but you will see that a little modification changes the strategy and the gameplay completely. In this case, we can see the elemental reaction we are looking for is melting, and the strategy is the one that follows.

As always, Bennett’s and Xiangling’s enabler burst come first, as well as Zhongli’s shield. If your Ganyu has her burst charged you can start melting everything with that. If not, you can just start making your arrows explode in your enemies’ faces.

Remember that melting doubles your damage (already increases thanks to Bennett) and with Ganyu’s huge DPS, this team wrecks really hard.

Roles:

  • Ganyu: DPS
  • Bennet: Enabler
  • Xiangling: Enabler
  • Zhongli: Shielder

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Permanent shielding
  • One of the best DPS in the game
  • Good elemental reactions
  • Pyro resonance

3. Zhongli, Albedo, Raiden Shogun, and Eula

Now we get to what we think is the top 3. The best Geo duo is here again. We also find a character that hadn’t appeared yet, Eula, and another that was in lower positions, Raiden Shogun.

Starting with Baal’s skill, you should use Albedo and Zhongli’s skills and bursts. After that is the carry’s turn: Eula. After her elemental skill, her burst is in order, hitting enemies with basic attacks during the wait. After it’s finished, Baal’s passive will be completely charged and her burst will deal a lot of damage, recharging energy in the process.

This team being one with shield, battery, enabling and good DPS makes it worth the top 3. Most important, it’s really fun to play, trust me.

Roles:

  • Zhongli: Shielder
  • Albedo: Shielder
  • Raiden Shogun: Enabler and battery
  • Eula: DPS

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Good DPS
  • Permanent shielding
  • Good passive damage (Albedo and Raiden Shogun)
  • Defense decrease in enemies

2. Hu Tao, Ganyu, Zhongli, and Xingqiu

In the top two, we find one of the top teams. These characters don’t need resonances to destroy their enemies. Two of the best DPS, the most powerful elemental reactions, and an impenetrable shield. What more would you want?

You can use two strategies with this team, although they are basically the same. After shielding yourself and using Xingqiu’s burst or elemental skill, you change to your DPS and start rampaging. This DPS can be Hu Tao (vaporizing enemies) or Ganyu (freezing enemies).

With this versatile team, you can ease your way through the Spiral Abyss and have a lot of fun at the same time.

Roles:

  • Hu Tao: DPS
  • Ganyu: Sub DPS
  • Zhongli: Shielder
  • Xinqiu: Enabler

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Best elemental reactions (vaporize and melt)
  • Permanent shielding
  • Huge DPS
  • Healing

1. Ayaka, Kazuha, Albedo, and Kokomi

Here we find my two favurite carry DPS: Ayaka and Kazuha. I won’t lie, I use this team as my main team. However, don’t panic, I’m still a professional writer and will analyze it objectively. I mean, I objectively think it’s the best.

After placing Albedo’s and Kokomi’s elemental skills, for both healing and passive damage, with Kazuha’s elemental skill you will have your enemies at your mercy. Moreover, after using his burst (infused with Kokomi’s Hydro), they are ready to be permanently frozen with Ayaka’s basic attacks and skill.

This is a very fun and easy team to play. It covers all the possible roles and makes you nearly invincible. Crystallization shielding, healing, elemental resistance decrease, crowd control, perma-frost, and huge DPS. Just perfect.

Roles:

  • Ayaka: DPS
  • Kazuha: Sub DPS and enabler
  • Albedo: Shielder
  • Kokomi: Healer

Why This Team Is Great:

  • Constant passive DPS damage (Kazuha, Albedo and Kokomi)
  • One of the best DPS in the game
  • Permanent shielding
  • Healing
  • Possible perma-frost
  • Elemental attacks resistance decrease with Kazuha’s Viriscent Venerer artifacts

 

Although this is a TOP 10, in Genshin Impact it is difficult to rank teams or characters. This happens because some battles are longer than others, some enemies have specific resistances or maybe some prevent you from recharging energy.

We put Burst teams last because they have less flexibility and are more suited to boss battles. Also difficult to build correctly. After that useful teams but without good elemental reactions, that prevent them from hitting as hard as others.

Then, teams that mainly use CC to battle. These are helpful in a lot of situations. However, if the enemies are too heavy...well, a vortex that doesn’t attract enemies can’t be any good. We have now a team with great DPS that overpower other weaknesses, like lack of healing or elemental reactions.

Finally, the top 3 contain three versatile teams, which don’t lack anything, and hit like a truck. Don’t get me wrong, all the teams in this top are amazing, so choose the one you like the most!
