The world of Genshin Impact is vast, with over 50 playable characters — and new ones added all the time. Wrapping your head around each one and how to use them can be a nightmare, especially considering the fact that each character has their own skills, necessary materials, and more.

To help make sense of all these characters, we’ve created this character directory. Here, you’ll find the following guides for almost every playable character in Genshin Impact:

  • Ascension and talent upgrade materials Builds and artifacts guides The best weapons for each character Constellation explainers Team composition recommendations Mistakes players make when playing each character
