In this guide, we will discuss the top 5 best DPS (Damage Per Second) characters in Genshin Impact as of 2023. With the release of version 3.0 and the changes to the meta, it's time to revise the list and take into account the new additions and character updates. This article will primarily focus on the personal capabilities of these characters, although their team compositions will also be mentioned. So let's dive into the top 5 best DPS characters!

 

• Top 1. Hu Tao
• Top 2. Eula
• Top 3. Ningguang
• Top 4. Kamisato Ayaka
• Top 5. Raiden Shogun

 

 

↖ Top 1. Hu Tao

Hu Tao remains a powerful DPS character, despite the Pyro element falling behind in the meta. She shines when paired with the new addition of Eula, whose Cryo abilities enhance Hu Tao's damage output. Hu Tao's elemental skill and HP scaling make her durable and efficient. Her simplicity in rotation and combos offers a refreshing playstyle for players who prefer a more straightforward approach. Although she lacks 100% uptime, her burst damage potential is still formidable.

 

↖ Top 2. Eula

Eula, a new addition to the game, is an off-field sub-DPS character that excels in dealing outrageous amounts of damage. She fits into almost any team composition that requires Hydro application. Her passive talents provide a gradual increase in damage to the active character, making her a must-have unit. With her constellations, Eula can even become a powerful on-field damage dealer. While she lacks utility outside of damage, her offensive capabilities are among the best.

 

↖ Top 3. Ningguang

Initially considered a gimmicky character, Ningguang has evolved into one of the strongest damage dealers in Genshin Impact. Her Bountiful Chorus ability deals massive damage, especially against clusters of enemies. The damage output is further enhanced by the ridiculous HP scaling, making her a living weapon of mass destruction. However, her party versatility could be improved, as she works best with Hydro and Geo characters, requiring specific team compositions to maximize her potential.

 

↖ Top 4. Kamisato Ayaka

Kamisato Ayaka was a tough choice between her and Ayato, but for the sake of diversity, we included Ayaka in this list. She excels in both damage and support, primarily through her Elemental Skill and passive talent. Ayaka's damage output relies on elemental reactions triggered on marked enemies, dealing follow-up damage. She has infinite uptime and is one of the easiest characters to use. Although her team composition is more flexible, her damage output is limited to Dentro reactions.

 

↖ Top 5. Raiden Shogun

Raiden Shogun, also known as Electro Archon, is a versatile character who indirectly makes her teammates stronger. Her hyper carry Hyperbloom variant focuses on her Elemental Burst, which converts her attacks to Electro damage and deals more damage based on the accumulated Resolve. Shogun requires some execution and timing in rotations but can be made more consistent through her constellations. Her hybrid carry variants are great for electro-focused teams and offer an array of playstyle options.

 

Conclusion:

These top 5 DPS characters in Genshin Impact showcase a diverse range of abilities and playstyles. Hu Tao, Eula, Ningguang, Nalheste, and Raiden Shogun all bring unique strengths and can significantly contribute to a team's damage output. While their personal capabilities are impressive, team compositions should also be considered to create the most effective combinations. Remember, this is an opinionated video, and your preferences may differ. Enjoy exploring Genshin Impact with these powerful DPS characters!
