Best Choices are Xingqiu, Yun Jin, or Xiangling

Xingqiu, Yun Jin, and Xiangling are three of the best choices when you can't decide who to pick. These characters are mostly Sub-DPS who can effectively increase your team's overall damage by a lot!

Newest Characters
Gaming	Yaoyao

If you haven't gotten these characters yet, Gaming and Yaoyao are the most recent Liyue characters to release! Yaoyao specifically is a great Dendro healer who can also act as a decent applicator for reactions.

Gaming plays around plunging attacks, which Xianyun buffs. So if you want to make the use out of Xianyun's buffs, you may pick Gaming!

Character Constellations to Pick

If you already have most or all the Liyue 4-Star Characters, you can base your decision on their constellations! Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Yun Jin in particular become even more powerful characters with higher constellations!
