One of the biggest complaints that some players have about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Genshin Impact is about the gacha system, something notorious for being difficult to acquire your preferred characters though. 𓄧However, Genshin Impact's quests and the game world are doable with just about any character.
That means even those cheap four-stars that the game throws at you in the main quests are good enough. Give them the right kind of love and attention as well as the proper tools and voila! Who needs that Diluc or Keqing anyway? These "free" characters should alleviate the hurt in your wallets while still providing you full access to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Genshin Impact's game world.
Updated August 11, 2021, by Sid Natividad: Just when you thought Genshin Impact couldn't get any better, the game's developer, Mihoyo, started giving out free characters as a reward for several updates and events. These only last for a few weeks so it's best to maximize those freebies and be picky with which free character to select in the game right now.
With that sai🍸d, we know your time might be limited and that working hard for some characters is out of the question. That's why we summed up which among these periodically or permanently free characters are worth the grind to level up and kit out. Expect this list to expand even more as new characters are added.
15 Alo⭕y - Upcoming at the time of writing
- Update 2.1 for PS4 & PS5 players, 2.2 for other platforms
- Requires Adventure Rank 20+
She's not out yet but is already 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:making quite a splash 🅺in Genshin Imp🔴act. The developers recently announced that Aloy will be available for PlayStation players (PS4 & PS5) by the end of August or early September. Mobile and PC users will have to wait until up🏅date 2.2 wh൩ich is still several months away at the time of writing.
Regardless, she will be a five-star character, meaning there's a big chance she's going to be a powerful figure in terms of gameplay. At the moment, there's no calculating how she'll perform 𒁃compared to the rest of the roster so she sits at a comfy spot outside the ranking.
14 Amber
- Obtainable through the main questline via Paimon
Amber can be a mixed bag for a lot of players. Despitღe being the only free bow-user in the game, Amber is still generally avoided because not only is she the weakest in that category but she's also the weakest among all the fire users in the game.
This is statistically speaking. Still, Amber is necessary 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for free-to-play players with no access to other bow users. Certain bo🅷sses like the Oceanid and The Wolf of the North can be hard with pure melee. Besides, Amber is very useful for exploration where her ranged fire attack can light up torꦯches easily.
13 Lisa
- Obtainable through the quest "Sparks Amongst the Pages"
Lisa is best used for producing some lovely electro-reactions. While she's really slow on her own as an electro damage-only character, she shines well when paireꦬd with others who can unleash some consistent frost or water damage. Her area damage can easily cover groups of en🔥emies.
Her Elemental Burst ability can easily serve as bot💖h DPS and crowd control because it also has innate knockback. Yoဣu can also safely switch to another damage dealer to combo off Lisa's electro fields and status effects.
12 Kaeya
- Obtainable through the quest "Crash Course"
Kaeya is not just great for exploring the open water 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in Genshin Impact until you run out of explorable space and it starts booting yo🐽u out but he's also a decꦰent cryo damage dealer. He has a low-cooldown Elemental Skill that does well, especially when it's raining or when you have a hydro character in the party.
What Kaeya might lack in area of effect damage, he makes up for with a good sword move set with a final strike that puts him out of harm's way. Meanwhile, his Elemental Burst ensures that any wet enemy within melee range gets frozen out of combat for several ꦇseconds. Not a bad deal for a free character.
11 The Traveler ཧ 🥃
- Default game character
Whether it's Aether (boy) or Lumine (girl) these two siblings are the only free five-star characters you will get, at least 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:until Aloy shows up. They might not feel like they're worth fi♊ve stars just yet but future updates and expansions should expඣand their affinity to all seven elements.
For now, it's just three, anemo, geo, and the recently added electro. Traveler can be rather underwhelming compared to other support characters in the wish banners. Still, when it comes to versatility, not many can beat the Traveler. There's also the fact♔ that anemo produces quite a dev🦩astating combo when combined with either pyro, electro, hydro, or cryo, and electro traveler has added a new dimension to gameplay.
10 Barbara
- Obtainable through the Baptism of Song event
- Requires Adventure Rank 20+
For dedicated healing and for those who want to outgrow a reliance on tanks, can be🔯 a good transitional character. Both her Elemental Skill and Burst can heal for a ton and you can even use the latt𒉰er as a panic button for when someone's about to die.
The good news is that Barbara is readily available to the players once they reach Adventure Rank 20 whi𒅌ch shouldn't take too long. Just be aware that her water attacks can be worryingly inflexible against hydro enemies, so it's best to use her for her intended role, which is a healer/support.
9 Xinyan
- Was obtainable through the Stand by Me event (February 10, 2021 - March 7, 2021)
is a relatively unpopular character since her abilities don't exactly synergize in an awesome way compared to other more available sub-DPS characters like Xiangling. Still, any Genshin Impact character is viable and can reach dizzyi🌱ng numbers if built well.
Her abilities make her a bit similar to DPS like Noelle since her Elemental Skill scales off her defense. Meanwhile, her Burst makes everything explode and deals pyro damage. It's not the most exciting combinatꦺion but Xinyan works decently enough.
8 Chongyun
- Was obtainable through the Stand by Me event (February 10, 2021 - March 7, 2021)
is one of the fastest cryo DPS in the game and can lay out some icy burst damage✃ in a few seconds with his Elemental Burst. When not using that, he out giving some impressive cryo support with his Elemental Skill that infuses every attack ꦛinto cryo damage.
The beauty in Chongyun's abilities is that he's not required to be on the field allꦜ the time, paving the way for some heavier hitter to deal damage or synergize well with some Melt reactions, courtesy of his Elemental Skill.
7 Beidou
- Was obtainable through the Stand by Me event (February 10, 2021 - March 7, 2021)
- Obtainable through the Thunder Sojourn event
remains an underrated gem who can di♔sh out some incredibly high damage numbers with her counter ability. The problem is that this requ🦋ires tons of patience and when she's defending herself, she doesn't exactly deal consistent damage.
Still, she can be a useful powerhouse as Beidou c🐈an function independently from a healer. She can act as a tank and return some obscene damage inflicted her way. Besides, a claym🤡ore user is always welcome as a main DPS.
6 Xiangling
- Was obtainable through the Stand by Me event (February 10, 2021 - March 7, 2021)
- Obtainable through the Spiral Abyss Event - People's Choice
- Requires Adventure Rank 20
Sadly, not many free Genshin Impact characters are as viable for dedicated DPS roles compared to the ones in the wish banners. is an exception since, in most tier suggestions, she's an A-list and a DPS. In fact, she can be a good alternative for those 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:who haven't gotten Dilu🌟c yet and might never do.
Anyway, Xiangling's Gouba bear is a better version of Amber's TNT stuffed toy and does a consecutive stream of pyro damage. Her most devastating function, however, lies in her E💫lemental Burst which is a good-sized area sweep of🐻 flame damage that can hit enemies like a truck. Besides, Xiangling's fast jabs with her spear make her great for weapons with attack or critical buffs.
