Genshin Impact’s roster has grown past 120 playable characters, and Version 6.x continues to reshuffle who actually carries you through the Spiral Abyss. We split the rankings tier by tier — each section below has its own table, summary and color band so you can jump straight to the bracket you care about.
Every row lists the character’s element, role, rarity and the constellation used to evaluate them. Five-star characters are tagged ★5, four-stars ★4.
