Top 5 Best DPS characters in Genshin Impact
Here are the best five DPS characters in Genshin Impact.
1. Eula

Eula is undoubtedly one of the best Genshin Impact characters from a DPS perspective. Eula is a DPS character whose biggest strength is her high base attack and stackable Elemental powers. But where other characters provide elemental AoE damage, Eula’s powerful Icetide Vortex and Glacial Illumination abilities cater more to a one-shot playstyle.
2. Ganyu

The most obvious and the most talked-about DPS character is none other than Ganyu, a 5 star Cryo character. Different from other Bow users, Ganyu’s Charged Shots will act differently depending on their level of charge. A fully charged Cryo shot will deal AoE Cryo damage. She is considered the highest single-attack damage dealer in the game. Ganyu’s frost charge strike for her bow is completely destroyed, and she may inflict five to six digits of damage every three seconds or so.
3. Hu Tao

Wansheng’s polearm-wielding Funeral Director, Hu Tao, hits like a truck on fire. Not only does she deal massive Pyro damage with her Elemental Skill and passive, but her burst, Spirit Soother, inflicts AoE Pyro damage and heals her when it hits making her one of the most desirable DPS characters.
4. Ayaka

A noble yet lonely princess of the Kamisato clan, Ayaka’s power lies in her ability to move quickly between opponents using Senho sprint, freezing them, and dealing massive Cryo damage. She is especially well paired with Xingqui for constant Freeze reactions. If you’re struggling to find her character ascension material, be sure to see this Sakura Bloom locations guide
5. Xiao

Xiao, a 5-star anemo character is also known to be the closest to a berserker type of character. His elemental skill lets him zoom past the enemies thrice while dealing damage. His skill can also be used midair. His Bane of All Evil Elemental Burst amps up his damage output even more, in exchange for slowly draining his own HP. Xiao’s polearm attacks are quick and consecutive, and his Anemo moves can hit multiple enemies at the same time.
