With the last game update still recent, we come back as always to recreate this guide. Here, we create the 15 best teams you can get in Genshin Impact and explain their amazingness to you. In each update more and more characters get included, like Yelan was in the last update, so a change is in order. Pay attention because team building is one of the trickiest subjects in Genshin Impact!

15. Ayato + Yelan + Venti + Shenhe

Yelan is a Hydro character and a bow user that works for Ningguang and the Qixing of Liyue. This new character gets trapped with you in the Chasm, where you get to know her better, as well as try her in battle.

Both her skill that makes you immune to damage and her off-field burst make her a powerful ally. With Venti’s vortex and crowd–control and Shenhe’s Cryo enabling, you can freeze those enemies and kill them swiftly with her or your other DPS: Kamisato Ayato.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Hydro resonance
• Powerful CC
• Can perma-freeze enemies
• Both active and passive DPS are amazing

Roles:

• Ayato: DPS
• Yelan: Sub-DPS
• Venti: Enabler and CC
• Shenhe: Enabler 

14. Yelan + Raiden + Xiangling + Bennett

This team also contains Yelan but uses another strategy. With two powerful enabler supports such as Xiangling and Bennett, Raiden can show her burst powers with all their might. And, of course, Yelan can also help.

Xiangling’s burst inflicts Pyro damage, Bennett’s burst heals and increases ATK, and Yelan’s burst activates passive Hydro damage. These two complement Raiden Shogun’s sudden burst in power and help amplify her damage.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Pyro resonance
• Healing
• Lots of elemental reactions
• Amazing total DPS

Roles:

• Yelan: Sub-DPS and enabler
• Raiden Shogun: DPS
• Xiangling: Enabler
• Bennett: Enabler and healer

13. Ayaka + Diona + Yelan + Kazuha

This is another perma-freeze team. We all know these teams base their strategy around freezing opponents by fusing Hydro and Cryo abilities. This allows your team to crowd control your enemies with ease and kill them in one shot.

Ayaka is the DPS in charge of applying Cryo element (which has its damage increased thanks to DIona), and Yelan is the one in charge of applying Hydro. After this freezing, Kazuha's super-crowd-control pulls together enemies for one final hit.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Cryo resonance
• Both shielding and healing
• Can perma-freeze
• Amazing crowd-control

Roles:

• Ayaka: DPS
• Diona: Enabler, shielder, and healer
• Yelan: DPS
• Kazuha: Sub-DPS. enabler, and CC

12. Sayu + Zhongli + Hu Tao + Yelan

With a lonely Inazuman, we find 3 characters from Liyue. Instead of centring our efforts on freezing enemies with Cryo and Hydro, we’ll change Cryo for Hu Tao’s Pyro and create tons of vaporization, which doubles damage.

Zhongli’s shield will increase your team’s defense by a lot, and Sayu’s healing will be in charge when the shield breaks. Combining Hu Tao and Yelan’s skills and bursts, Pyro and Hydro will be applied to every enemy, making their trouble double.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Best shielder in game
• Constant vaporize reaction (double damage)
• Double healing
• Both active and off-field damage

Roles:

• Sayu: Enabler and healer
• Zhongli: Sub-DPS and shielder
• Hu Tao: DPS
• Yelan: DPS and enabler

11. Yelan + Yoimiya + Kazuha + Diona

Now, with this team you can vary your strategy to your heart’s content. Having all characters differ in their element not only increases the number of elemental reactions you can do, but it also increases your resistance to all elements.

You can freeze a batch of enemies with Yelan’s skill and Diona’s burst, just to use Yoimiya’s normal attacks to melt them and cause damage. Even then, you can also change your strategy by applying Hydro and vaporizing your enemies. Kazuha will take care of the rest!

What Makes This Team Great:

• Can create multiple reactions: freeze, melt, or vaporize
• Amazing crowd-control
• Healing and shielding
• Covers 4 elements

Roles:

• Yelan: DPS
• Yoimiya: DPS
• Kazuha: Sub-DPS, enabler, and CC
• Diona: Enabler, healer, and shielder

10. Hu Tao + Zhongli + Albedo + Xiangling

Two pairs of characters of different elements. In this case Pyro and Geo Resonances. Both elemental resonances are extremely good and increase your damage without any time limits or cooldowns. How to use this team? 

Well, for starters Hu Tao has an extremely good DPS and is a great nuker as well. Xiangling is a great enabler for this carry: her first and sixth constellations decrease Pyro resistance and increase its damage. This, together with a double protective shield that prevents Hu Tao from dying, and Albedo’s passive damage, makes this team one of the best.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Strong DPS
• Permanent shielding
• Pyro and Geo elemental resonances
• Albedo’s passive Geo damage

Roles:

• Hu Tao: DPS
• Zhongli: Shield
• Albedo: Shield and sub DPS
• Xiangling: Enabler

9. Jean + Xiao + Zhongli + Albedo

Two Anemo characters and two Geo characters. It seems a bit poor in variety but the continuous crystallization and shields paired with the Geo resonance improve damage by 15%. Moreover, having two Anemo characters increases your speed and decreases their cooldowns.

Your strategy should be placing Albedo’s elemental skill and activating Zhongli’s pillar and shield. After that, you can use Jean and Xiao’s elemental skills to charge their elemental burst and use them in succession. With Xiao jumping up and down in safe healing, he will be killing enemies non-stop.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Anemo and Geo elemental resonances
• Jean’s healing
• Permanent shielding
• Difficult to die
• Albedo’s passive Geo damage

Roles:

• Jean: Healer and battery
• Xiao: DPS
• Zhongli: Shielder
• Albedo: Shielder and sub DPS

8. Ayaka + Venti + Bennett + Tartaglia

Again we find Venti in this CC team, also known as the Anemo Archon (and the mob monster God…). As you can see, the character’s elements are really similar, so you can already guess the strategy will be similar as well.

In this case, we should use Bennet’s burst to increase our damage. After that, Venti’s burst to CC your enemies is important, just before Tartaglia’s burst (a great nuker and Hydro applier).  The only thing left is to spam Ayaka’s charged attacks, which can hit far away.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Strong DPS
• Possible freezing
• Healing
• Good CC
• Elemental attacks resistance decrease with Venti’s Viriscent Venerer artifacts
• Damage increase

Roles:

• Ayaka: DPS
• Venti: Battery and CC
• Bennett: Enabler
• Tartaglia: Sub DPS

7. Ayato + Ayaka + Venti + Diona

Ayato and Ayaka are siblings from the Kamisato Clan. Both use the same sword arts, but their personalities have affected the Vision they’ve received: Cryo and Hydro. Together with another Cryo support and a CC-based Anemo support, this creates a fantastic freezing team.

Ayato’s burst can prepare the field for infusing Hydro. If you change to Ayaka, you can freeze every enemy and have your normal attack’s damage increased thanks to his buff. As for the supports, in case you need more freezing, shield, or healing, choose Diona. In case you need control, choose Venti.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Perme-freezing
• Increase in damage to normal attacks
• Good crowd control from Venti’s burst
• Possible shielding and healing thanks to Diona
• Double DPS from Ayaka and Ayato

Roles: 

• Ayato: DPS
• Ayaka: DPS
• Venti: CC, Enabler
• Diona: Healer, Shielder, Battery

6. Ganyu + Xiangling + Bennett + Zhongli

You may think we are repeating characters, but you will see that a little modification changes the strategy and the gameplay completely. In this case, we can see the elemental reaction we are looking for is melting, and the strategy is the one that follows.

As always, Bennett’s and Xiangling’s enabler burst come first, as well as Zhongli’s shield. If your Ganyu has her burst charged you can start melting everything with that. If not, you can just start making your arrows explode in your enemies’ faces. Remember that melting doubles your damage (already increases thanks to Bennett) and with Ganyu’s huge DPS, this team wrecks really hard.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Permanent shielding
• One of the best DPS in the game
• Good elemental reactions
• Pyro resonance

Roles:

• Ganyu: DPS
• Bennet: Enabler
• Xiangling: Enabler
• Zhongli: Shielder

5. Itto + Zhongli + Albedo + Gorou

This is one of the best teams, although at first glance it may not seem useful because you can only activate Geo Resonance once. However, thanks to Gorou’s abilities (and constellations) this team is possible.

Of course, Itto’s burst and normal attacks will be the main damage dealers. Albedo’s area and Zhongli’s pillar and shield are also useful. But the main power is Gorou’s abilities. If there’re lots of Geo in a team, he can increase Geo Damage, Critical Damage, DEF% and even heal your team!

What Makes This Team Great:

• One of the most powerful DPS
• Powerful CC burst from Zhongli
• Albedo’s off-field damage
• Tons of buffs thanks to Gorou
• Three Geo constructs resonate with each other

Roles: 

• Itto: DPS
• Zhongli: Shielder, Sub-DPS
• Albedo: Shielder, Sub-DPS
• Gorou: Shielder, Enabler, Healer

4. Ayaka + Kazuha +Albedo + Kokomi

Here we find my two favourite carry DPS: Ayaka and Kazuha. I won’t lie, I use this team as my main team. However, don’t panic, I’m still a professional writer and will analyze it objectively. I mean, I objectively think it’s the best.

After placing Albedo’s and Kokomi’s elemental skills, for both healing and passive damage, with Kazuha’s elemental skill you will have your enemies at your mercy. Moreover, after using his burst (infused with Kokomi’s Hydro), they are ready to be permanently frozen with Ayaka’s basic attacks and skill.

What Makes This Team Great:

• Constant passive DPS damage (Kazuha, Albedo and Kokomi)
• One of the best DPS in the game
• Permanent shielding
• Healing
• Possible perma-frost
• Elemental attacks resistance decrease with Kazuha’s Viriscent Venerer artifacts

Roles:

• Ayaka: DPS
• Kazuha: Sub DPS and enabler
• Albedo: Shielder
• Kokomi: Healer

3. Hu Tao + Ganyu + Zhongli + Xingqiu

These characters don’t need resonances to destroy their enemies. Two of the best DPS, the most powerful elemental reactions, and an impenetrable shield. What more would you want? With this versatile team, you can ease your way through the Spiral Abyss and have a lot of fun at the same time.

You can use two strategies with this team, although they are basically the same. After shielding yourself and using Xingqiu’s burst or elemental skill, you change to your DPS and start rampaging. This DPS can be Hu Tao (vaporizing enemies) or Ganyu (freezing enemies). 

What Makes This Team Great:

• Best elemental reactions (vaporize and melt)
• Permanent shielding
• Huge DPS
• Healing 

Roles:

• Hu Tao: DPS
• Ganyu: Sub DPS
• Zhongli: Shielder
• Xingqiu: Enabler

2. Venti + Ganyu + Mona + Diona

Crowd-controlling teams excel at fighting a bunch of small enemies (like the elusive slimes or the blink-blink Electro witch) and crowding them together before hitting them with a nuke.

In this team you should first use Mona’s elemental skill, so they start attacking her double. After that, a chain of bursts is in order: Mona’s (damage increase), Venti’s (best crowd control), Diona’s, and Ganyu’s burst (freezing, healing, and energy recharge). 

Because Venti’s Swirl reaction will infuse your enemies with Mona’s Hydro, they will freeze with Ganyu’s burst. After that, just spam Ganyu’s charged attacks (which, let me tell you, hit like a missile) and destroy them!

What Makes This Team Great:

• Best CC (Venti and Mona)
• Elemental attacks resistance decrease with Venti’s Viriscent Venerer artifacts
• Healing
• Possible perma-frost 
• Damage increase
• Cryo resonance

Roles:

• Venti: Sub DPS and CC 
• Ganyu: DPS
• Mona: Enabler 
• Diona: Battery and Healer

1. Raiden Shogun + Xiangling + Xingqiu + Bennett

Finally, in the first place, we find our favourite Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun (also known as Ei to her friends), and the three best 4-star supports: Pyro Xiangling and Bennett, and Hydro Xingqiu. Remember that double Pyro characters give the team an ATK boost!

This is a burst team, which means a team that mainly uses their characters’ elemental bursts to deal damage. In this case, you should first use Raiden’s elemental skill (which increases her damage depending on the bursts used), Bennett, Xiangling, and Xinqiu’s bursts, just before using Ei’s and start hitting like a truck. 

What Makes This Team Great:

• Easy to get (three 4-star characters)
• Strong elemental reactions 
• Two damage increases (Raiden’s ES and Bennett EB)
• Healing
• Pyro resonance

Roles:

• Raiden Shogun: DPS
• Xiangling: Enabler
• Xingqiu: Enabler
• Bennet: Enabler

Every Genshin player has different characters that they have pulled for. Thus, it’s difficult to create a team that satisfies everyone. At least, with these 15 teams, we can hope to achieve that, or, at least, give you some ideas so that you can create your own specific team. Take into account that every character (and every team) has infinite potential if built properly, so just have fun!
