Building a balanced team composition is crucial in Genshin Impact, as it allows players to tackle a variety of challenges and content with ease. A balanced team composition typically consists of a main DPS, one or two sub-DPS characters, and a support character that provides healing or elemental reaction support. In comparison to a full offensive team, creating a balanced team ensures that players have the necessary damage output, survivability, and utility to handle any situation.
A great balanced team composition in Genshin Impact maximizes the strengths of each character and ensures they work well together. This means considering the elemental affinities of each character and how they interact with one another to trigger powerful elemental reactions. It also involves selecting characters with complementary abilities and ensuring that the weapons, artifacts, and talents of each character are optimized. A balanced team composition can make a huge difference in challenging content like domains, abyss floors, and boss fights, allowing players to progress through the game more efficiently and effectively.
5 Xiangling + Bennett + Chongyun + Xingqiu
This team composition, better known as the National Team in Genshin Impact has been widely regarded as one of the best teams in the game, despite consisting solely of 4-star characters. This makes it an excellent option for players who want to build a strong team without spending too much. The synergy between each team member is exceptional, as they can easily trigger elemental reactions like Melt, Vaporize, or Freeze.
It's worth noting that the term "National" can be confusing for some players, as it doesn't necessarily mean that the team is made up of characters from the same region. Rather, the term refers to the sheer strength of the team, with all party members being some of the strongest 4-star characters in the game on their own. In fact, if there were a National Competition, this team would likely be strong enough to compete in it. There are also variations of this team composition, such as using Raiden instead of Chongyun to enable Overload reactions instead of Melt reactions. Overall, this versatile, low-budget team is one of the most balanced and powerful options available, with healing from Bennett and damage reduction from Xingqiu adding to its impressive arsenal.
4 Eula + Raiden + Sara + Diona
Despite physical damage falling out of favor in Genshin Impact due to the popularity of elemental reactions and ever-changing meta, Eula's Burst remains a formidable force with the potential to one-shot a variety of enemies. When paired with other versatile characters, such as Raiden, Eula's physical DMG output becomes even stronger as Raiden consistently triggers Superconduct. In addition, Raiden is a strong character on her own, especially with access to her second constellation and beyond. She not only deals significant damage but also serves as a battery for Eula, enabling continuous Burst for the team.
The team can further utilize Diona for Cryo resonance, as well as her healing, shielding, and battery capabilities. Additionally, Sara, particularly with her sixth constellation activated, can add value to the team, particularly for those focusing on Raiden's damage as much as Eula's. However, for players more interested in boosting Eula's damage, they may consider other characters like Mika, who was introduced in the recent 3.5 Version update, or Rosaria. With numerous options and effective utilization of all roles, this team is a balanced powerhouse with great damage potential.
3 Hu Tao + Yelan + Zhongli + Bennett
Hu Tao is widely regarded as one of the top Pyro characters in Genshin Impact due to her ability to deal high damage with both her Elemental Skill and Burst. Yelan, on the other hand, is similar to Xingqiu in that she can consistently apply Hydro off the field, but with the added bonus of having higher damage potential at the cost of some utility like healing or damage reduction. As such, the team has significant Vaporize damage if Hu Tao and Yelan are built right.
Because Hu Tao's strength relies on being at low HP, pairing her with strong shielders like Zhongli can be incredibly beneficial. With the addition of a powerful shield character, a dedicated healer may not be necessary, which is also why some players may choose to swap Xingqiu for Yelan. However, for those who prefer to have a healer on the team, Bennett is an excellent choice, especially when facing enemies that can bypass shields. This team composition offers both versatility and sustainability, making it a balanced and effective choice for players.
2 Nilou + Kokomi + Nahida + Collei
Genshin Impact has introduced the Dendro reactions in Version 3.0 update, which has opened up new opportunities for players to experiment with different playstyles. One such reaction is the Bloom reaction, which is particularly strong when utilizing Nilou. Although she is a niche character that requires a specific team composition, Nilou is an excellent addition to Bloom teams because she can generate special Dendro cores (Bountiful cores) with high damage potential. However, players should note that due to Nilou's passive talent, the team can only consist of Dendro and Hydro characters. Nevertheless, there are many characters that can be swapped out within this limitation.
This team composition requires players to play carefully and use a healer such as Kokomi, as the Dendro cores will also damage the active character when they explode. Moreover, every character in the team functions as a Sub-DPS character with the ability to contribute off-field, making it a well-balanced composition. Nilou and Kokomi will be enabling Hydro, while Nahida and Collei deal Dendro damage. Additionally, depending on the team's needs, players can quickly swap between characters without interrupting the DPS.
1 Ganyu + Mona + Diona + Venti
This team composition, better known as the Morgana team is a popular and powerful perma-Freeze composition in Genshin Impact that revolves around utilizing Mona, Ganyu, and Diona. This name is derived from the abbreviation of these characters' names. The fourth spot in the team is usually filled by Venti, but other characters can also be used. Ganyu is capable of Melt reactions, but she also excels in Freeze compositions when paired with Diona. Together, they can enable Cryo resonance, which adds to the team's strength. Diona also works as a battery and healer, making her an essential member of the team.
In addition, Venti is perfect for grouping enemies and enhancing the Cryo damage if he swirls with Cryo. He also functions as a battery for the team. Finally, Mona is the ideal Hydro enabler thanks to her Elemental Burst. Mona's Elemental Burst applies Omen to enemies, which is a debuff that increases the amount of damage they take from the player's characters. Normally, Mona's Omen effect might be confusing for some players, however with the enemy being frozen, Omen's timer is much easier to consistently control, allowing players to continually amplify their damage output.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
