Highlights
- Using Cryo or Electro units with Physical DPS in Genshin Impact is more effective due to Superconduct reaction.
- Physical teams can still be fun and effective with minimal Elemental Reactions, providing unique gameplay experiences.
- Some characters like Kaeya, Xinyan, and Fischl shine as Physical DPS or Support units, offering various playstyles.
DPS and Supporting units that are built around Physical DMG in Genshin Impact are not as popular as the other units due to their lack of Elemental Reactions. Physical units are mostly Cryo or Electro users in Genshin Impact since they're the two Elements that are responsible for triggering Superconduct, which is an Elemental Reaction that reduces enemies’ resistance to Physical DMG by 40%.

Capitolium is the bigger section of the Sea of Bygone Ears in Genshin Impact.
Despite their simplicity, building a Physical team can be fun, especially since their gameplay revolves around the least amount of Elemental Reactions. If players wish to play without overthinking of character rotations, then they can take a look at this list of the best Physical characters in Genshin Impact.
8 Kaeya

|---|---|---|---|
Kaeya can be considered an acceptable Physical DPS in the game, considering there are not many. He’s also a decent Support since his Elemental Burst can keep applying Cryo on enemies close by.
As a Sword user in Genshin Impact, Kaeya has one of the highest multipliers on his Normal attacks, but it doesn’t come close to how high it is for Claymore users. So, in terms of multipliers, Kaeya immediately loses to any Claymore DPS units, ranking him lower than most Physical characters in Genshin Impact.
7 Xinyan

|---|---|---|---|
It was very weird to see a Pyro user in Genshin Impact have an entire Physical DMG kit. Yet, for a while, Xinyan held her own and was decent enough to be considered in teams. Now, Xinyan suffers as her kit is outdated and her entire gimmick is not working out with any other unit.
Xinyan has an Elemental Burst that has a 100% Crit Rate, allowing players to fully build her on Crit DMG and ATK%. Xinyan’s fourth Constellation grants her team 12% Physical shred, but it’s still not good enough to be compared with the other Physical Supports on the list.
6 Fischl
 Fischl |  Electro |  Bow | Mondstadt |
Guides | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Fischl shines as an off-field Sub DPS with Oz doing all the work for her. When unlocking all of Fischl’s Constellations in Genshin Impact, she’ll be able to follow up the active unit’s Normal attacks with Electro hits from Oz. Not to mention, Fischl can keep summoning Oz and keep him almost 100% of the time, especially on her C6.
With her Oz, Fischl can endlessly apply Electro on enemies and continuously trigger Superconduct to help her or any Physical DPS unit to deal much more damage. It’s very rare for a unit like Fischl to perform exceptionally well as an Electro DPS, Sub-DPS, Physical main DPS, and Support.
5 Mika
 Mika | Cryo |  Polearm | Mondstadt |
Guides | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Mika is a solid Physical Support in Genshin Impact. Understandably, he doesn’t get much use since Physical DPS is underwhelming in general. He’s still a decent pick whenever you’re going for a Physical unit since his utility is unique by combining both Support and healing.

Legatus Golem is a harder version of the Golem enemy in Remuria ruins in Genshin Impact.
With his Elemental Skill, Mika can increase his DPS Normal attacks SPD by up to 25%. He can also increase their Physical DMG by up to 40%, in addition to allowing them to deal 60% more Physical Crit DMG.
4 Rosaria
 Rosaria | Cryo | Polearm | Mondstadt |
Guides | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Running Rosaria with a Physical DPS build isn’t going to be useful for her team since she’s underwhelming in that role. However, when Rosaria gets her sixth Constellation in Genshin Impact, she becomes a very useful Physical Support. Her C6 reduces enemies’ Physical resistance by 20% all while she constantly applies Cryo on and off-field.
Additionally, Rosaria has a unique mechanic where she shares 15% of her Crit Rate with all her team, lowering the Crit Rate requirements for the main DPS.
3 Keqing
 Keqing |  Electro | Sword | Liyue |
Guides | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Before the Elemental Mastery and Electro buffs, Keqing was mainly being used as a Physical DPS in Genshin Impact. She wasn’t the best, but her Charged attacks were constantly and quickly dealing large white numbers, which was cool at the time. Now, of course, it’s better to let Keqing avoid any Superconduct teams and operate more in Quicken or Hyperbloom teams in Genshin Impact.
Even if she’s better as an Electro user, Keqing is still a pretty solid Physical DPS and can still carry her own weight and be useful when you want to have fun with her Physical DMG.
2 Razor
 Razor | Electro | Claymore | Mondstadt |
Guides | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Usually, Cryo units have their own roles and kits revolve around Physical DMG. But, for an Electro user in Genshin Impact, Razor outperforms most of them with his kit that is specifically made to maximize his Normal attacks. It does that by giving his Elemental Burst the ability to speed up his Normal attacks, which will make him go berserk once he starts swinging his Claymore.

Arlecchino is not only the third playable Fatui in Genshin Impact but also the third Fatui weekly boss.
For a kid who was raised by wolves, Razor is a pretty selfish DPS in Genshin Impact. However, when building a decent team around him, he always proves to be worth the effort and investment.
1 Eula
 Eula | Cryo | Claymore | Mondstadt |
Guides | |||
|---|---|---|---|
There’s no doubt that Eula is the best DPS that depends on Physical DMG in Genshin Impact. While she’s not the best overall DPS in the game, Eula’s kit is designed to buff every Physical attack from her Claymore, whether it’s her Normal attacks or Elemental Burst.
She can be useful when you want a powerful driver that doesn’t have a strong Elemental application. She’s also a Cryo user in Genshin Impact, which makes it easy for her to access the Superconduct Elemental Reaction. You can even use Eula in teams like Hyperblooms since she doesn't react with Dendro.
