Character | Strengths |
---|---|
Furina | ・Universal buffing for all team-comps as long as you have a healer. ・HP Drain opens up new playstyles to other characters that don't have HP fluctuations in their kit. ・Healing mode with her Pneuma form is useful for easing overworld exploration. |
Kazuha | ・Swirling increases your party's Elemental DMG based on the Element Swirled. He can also buff two Elements within a single instance. ・Pull from his Skill is great at crowd controlling enemies. ・Burst increases Elemental Mastery in an area. |
Bennett | ・Elemental Burst provides heals, ATK Buffs, and also Pyro infusion at C6. ・Has a high Elemental Recharge rate as he can spam his skill. |
Nahida | ・Can provide up to 250 Elemental Mastery to the character on the field inside her low-energy cost Elemental Burst. ・C2 Unlocks multiple Dendro reaction-based buffs. |
Zhongli | ・Can provide the strongest and most durable shield in the game while also offering free unconditional Elemental RES shred. |
Baizhu | ・Great comfort healer for all content. ・Provides decent shielding that can act as an interrupt resistance. ・Applies decent off-field Dendro for reactions. |
Kokomi | ・Has an incredibly strong and reliable healing which can also apply Hydro off-field. ・A staple for Freeze and certain Bloom teams. |
Character | Strengths |
---|---|
Shenhe | ・Best buffer for Cryo teams with Elemental Skill, She can also decrease enemies' Physical and Cryo resistance on her Burst. ・Quills are limited unless you have her constellations. |
Jean | ・Elemental Skill and Charge attack can crowd control enemies. ・Elemental Burst acts as a powerful burst AoE heal for the whole party. Her burst field also creates a field of persistent healing. ・C4 provides Anemo RES shred for Anemo DPS characters. |
Chevreuse | ・Powerful RES Shred debuff, ATK buffs, and healing as the best support for Overloaded team comps at C6. ・Her team comps are inherently niche, and she doesn't necessarily fix the problem of Overloaded knocking enemies away, thus she's only better against bosses than other similar supports. |
Sucrose | ・Elemental Skill and Burst provides crowd control. ・Swirling increases your party's Elemental Mastery by a great deal, which enables your party to have increased reaction damage. |
Faruzan | ・Buffs Anemo DMG and decreases enemy Anemo RES. ・Has an extremely high Energy requirement without her C6 constellation, which makes her a high investement character. |
Raiden | ・Increases the team's Elemental Burst DMG and refills their Energy, which lets her teams rotate their skills near-off cooldown. |
Mona | ・Elemental Burst debuffs enemies to increase the damage dealt by your Main DPS. ・Elemental Burst also provides a small crowd control for smaller enemies. |
Character | Strengths |
---|---|
Gorou | ・Best Geo Support for DEF-focused Geo teams who can provide Geo DMG and DEFbuffs, and interruption resistance. ・Turns into a well-rounded offensive support and healer with C4, and a top-tier support at his niche at C6. |
Venti | ・Provides strong consistent crowd control, and Viridescent Venerer coverage. ・Struggles against enemies that are harder to pull-in. |
Diona | ・Provides shields, heals, and off-field Cryo application. ・Also becomes a buffer for Elemental Mastery at C6. |

Yaoyao | ・Applies Dendro to enemies and heals while off-field with her Elemental Skill. ・Elemental Burst has strong party healing but Yaoyao has to be on-field to make it work. |
Charlotte | ・Good panic healing when stuck in a pinch, although the AoE for it is small. ・Constellation improves her efficiency with healing. |

Character | Strengths |
---|---|

Layla | ・Provides very strong shields ・Her constant off-field DMG from her Elemental Skill makes it ideal to use the Tenacity of the Millelith Artifact set for a permanent buff. ・Breaking her shield ends her off-field DMG from her Elemental Skill and ends the Artifact buff. |
Sayu | ・Off-field healing that has wide coverage, especially at C2. Her initial trigger for her Elemental Burst also has strong party-wide healing. ・The amount of HP recovered can be increased with Elemental Mastery. ・Elemental Burst healing is improved by her constellations. |

Traveler (Electro) | ・Elemental Skill helps in filling up the active character's energy and increases their Energy Recharge. ・Electro Traveler's usage is highly situational. Moreoever, other characters that fulfill the same niche has more utility. |
Rosaria | ・Her Burst increases CRIT Rate for all party members by 15% of Rosaria's CRIT Rate. ・Aim to make Rosaria's CRIT Rate 100%. ・At C6, she decreases enemy Physical RES by -20%, a very strong debuffer for Physical DMG mains! |
