If you’re starting out, or looking to up your game, then we have everything you need to know.

Here’s our complete guide for each character, role, and build in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact: Character roles and positions

There are three main positions, or roles, characters can take, and which one suits them will change how you play.

Main DPS are your big damage dealers. These characters stay on the field for as long as possible and focus their attacks.

Sub-DPS characters support your Main DPS. These fighters only enter the field for a short amount of time.

The rest of the time they are dealing damage using their off-field effects and abilities.

Finally, Support characters take care of the rest of the team. This can be through healing or shields.

They will also provide support through energy regeneration, or through helping with elemental resonance or reactions.

Here are some of the best characters for each position depending on the elements you wish to use.
