Top Five WORST Characters In Genshin Impact

you know I've been putting off making a video like this for probably years at this point not because it wouldn't make for a fun or engaging topic it's actually the opposite people love this type of content it's more because of the ginchi community's intolerance towards stuff like this and I get it this is a casual single player PVE game bouncer on every character being usable but while it's true that objectively everyone can be played we're at a point where things are being evaluated based on relativity in that one character is bad not in the sense of them being unable to complete the game's content but more that there are so many Alternatives that do their job more efficiently that it beggar believed that anyone would use some overset Alternatives the other thing that discouraged me from making this was that I know for a certainty the entire comments will be playing what about ISM and be like actually this character is worse but at this point who cares for today's video we'll be going over the five worst characters engaging impact Buckle in because I'm going to be pissing off a lot of people oh by the way for those of you wondering why I'm not including aloy it's because she's unobtainable for all accounts created on 2022 onwards but yes she would be in this list if I included her and as always this video is not ordered let's begin first character will be and believe me and H to say this because she deserves so much more ningan now I'm aware that Mi Hoya doesn't necessarily give units with higher lore significance or power preferential treatment in numbers and design for crying out loud one of the best electro units if not the best is a normal high school girl with the chuny bu complex but I still think it's offensive that ning Wang is not a five-star character when she's a deao political leader of Lia but that's another topic for another time in her defense ning Wang is a fairly worthwhile unit to haveit her onfield attacker for young encounter who are just getting started she has good range consistent DPS and can take advantage of many different support units that you're expected to find early on the benefits don't really stretch beyond that the single dominant issue in ning kuang's situation is that she's in the worst role of the worst elements the worst role in Gin is main DPS for the simple reason that you can only have one of them per team sub DPS units AKA all fields and supports have up to three party slots if not the entire party to work with meaning those units are not actively competing against one another for party space or rather they're not competing as heavily for main DPS it's a different matter Ming Guang has to compete against not just the three on fielders in her own area of expertise but theoretically every on fielder in the game because unlike STL outside of enemies that are aan to certain elements it doesn't necessarily matter who you bring you can fight the hydr hypostasis with pyro Electro cryo Geo Animo whatever you want so long as it's not Hydro so for example Nang would have to fight for a spot in your party against El likeu Linny Shogun net sha csing s YULA Etc and she's practically guaranteed to be eclipsed by all of them even within her own Fields Navia anito will output far more damage than she ever can or will and just recently with finina Noel has made huge gains in damage too being a main DPS on fielders What Hurts The Situation more than anything else if ning gong was a support or off Fielder she would be doing so much better and the annoying thing is that she has supportive elements in her kit her J screen can block projectiles which no doubt comes in handy against bosses with them and she gives bonus Geo damage to allies that pass through her Jade screen furthermore at C4 it also gives a token bit of Elemental rest if hoil conceptualized her to be a support or Geo off Fielder from the Geto she might have been able to get away with being a fourstar such as if she had Geo followup damage the way she CH Hydro personally I would rather she be a five-star Geo attacker because so far all three geom main DPSS are Claymore uses and ning Wang would make for a nice change of pace but sadly we're not getting that again the words burn my tongue as I say them but ningan is one of the worst characters in the game she's a Geo forer Catalyst M DPS from version one possibly the unluckiest combination of aupi to have been given next character will be shinan I'm really sorry shyan me I just can't goope up any longer I respect the determination to find ways for it to work but we are way past the point of her being a possible maybe like I said in her W unplay episode the fact that people are trying to use her as a support when she was designed as a main damage dealer should be a Telltale sign that something is wrong with her actually a lot of things are wrong with her shyan's a character torn between equal parts pyro and physical damage and equal parts attack and defense while hybrid scaling on its own isn't a bad thing she was bounced around needing bulk to achieve a net zero even though investing in one prevents you from investing in the other other hybrid scal like I'll hate them not only can spec into both simultaneously but they Compound on one another to amplify damage even more attack and defense on the other hand don't synergize that harmoniously with one another and unlike Noel and Ito who directly convert defense into attack Shan's attacks and shielding scale of defense and attack separately making it impossible to achieve optimal results on both at the same time shinan was one of genin's early attempts at creating a bruer class someone who can deal a lot of damage and take a lot of damage suffice to say it was an abject failure her actual DPS comes from physical attacks as as you know already the physical element quote unquote has not seen any meaningful attention in years even the newest physical support maik has mostly been turned into a general Healer not a physical buffer like ning Guang being a four-star main DPS is already a bad start but being a physical damage dealer may be even worse than Gio as you cannot benefit from Elemental damage bonuses of any kind there was one Niche where she did find Fring usin monop pyro was C expended for those who wanted to try that out but either didn't have CLE or didn't like how she played but with Linny now in the picture Shan is officially gone she's overshadowed in physical and pyob based teams and her numbers are so poor that even when she came out she was considered one of the worst characters so you can imagine how bad things are for her 3 years later realistically there's no Universe where she'll be good whether support or onfield her as an on Fielder you can copy paste the things I said about Nang fyan only replace GI with physical as a support she's screwed either way supporting physical is a deadend job and supporting pyro demands that you scale the Great Wall of shaging and Bennett which will never be possible for any fourstar pyro character especially not someone split between physical and Pyro to anyone using her to this day I have nothing but respect and condolences for you next character will be a five star and not counting aloy she's definitively the worst five star ining impact chii I promise this will be the last time I mentioned chii having made two videos involving her already you guys know the drill by now so let's say it together Elemental skill gives no energy more than that though chii is a fourstar character with a five star label two her credit even though we have so many new healers now if we go by raw numbers technically her healing is still the highest in the game unfortunately that's all she does her entire base kit is centered around healing with constellations you can start delving into other fields and she can finally regenerate energy with the skill but acquiring constellations of the worst five star in the game is seen as a bad thing not a good one only providing healing and nothing else is what makes chii so bad every other healer in the game has something else to offer camia Hydro application bichu can shield and react to dentro Bennett offers attack power so on and so forth which is the funny thing too even from day one Chichi was powerc by Bennett not only does he boost attack power but he's much much easier to use than her for you to tap into the full extent of Chichi's restorative capability you have to specifically be attacking the enemy marked by a Talisman and while she can apply it to everyone around her with their burst being Target based if they die you lose the ability to heal apart from the skill regeneration against bosses that's all right given you're usually fighting just one enemy the whole time but against multiples Chi-Chi's healing can fluctuate from Overkill to non-existent making her deceptively inconsistent in my video on proposing theoretical changes for her I talked about how for her to be better she would have have to do more than just healing and I still stand by the notion that the best way for her to stand out would be for her to be a debuffing unit reducing enemy defense resistances attack and whatnot because that's an area genin hasn't really tapped into yet starl has silver wolf who specializes in debuffing and lowering stats but in genin we don't really have a dedicated debuffer outside of Mona and even hers is more of a damage amp not a debuff Lisa and Razer have ways to reduce defense but that's about it so this could be a Direction they can take Chi-Chi unlike other healers who increase stats or apply elements Chi-Chi can be a debuffing unit maybe that people won't cringe when they pull her off Banner but that just might be wishful thinking too the addition of finina has elevated the situation of almost every healer Chi-Chi is one of the few who really didn't which goes to show you how hopeless things are for her at this point next character will be Hydro Traver if I were to make this list ordered Hydro traveler would be smacked out at number one imagine being the worst character despite being part of the strongest element in the game this character if we can even call it one is a complete and utter dumpster fire within a dumpster fire it's comical really after seeing the traveler gradually become more and more viable both Electro and then dentro everyone had hopes that Hydro would take another step forward and then they made this the premise of traveler is to serve as I guess a trial version of what the element is all about if we take a look at each element we have so far then compare the traveler to the archon that's the association I developed with them animal Geo Electro dendro and hydr travelers serve to introduce you to the focal point of whichever elements they are while venti jungi shun nahita and finina fully epitomize it now considering finina is in like the top three or at minimum top five best units in the game for high traveler to be not just the worst of the five Travelers but the worst unit period is just so so wrong play style wise I can somewhat see what they were trying to do but they executed on it horribly let's talk about the problems one elemental skill is terrible it drains 4% of your max Health per second and adds to to Bullet damage only if you take a look at the numbers it's almost negligible first of all hydr traveler's Elemental skill scales off attack and yet their damage bonus is based on Max health so they have the shinan problem where if you try to spec into one you lose the other furthermore look at how weak the scaling is on on these attacks especially considering how long you're expected to stand there and attack as well as the cool down associated with that you can think of hydr traveler skill as noet charge attack but with the microscopic fraction of the power essentially as they both have the same basic principle the thing is there's so many other ways to continuously apply Hydro that for a main DPS Hydro unit to be good they have to actually deal damage and hydr traveler does none if you were to make use of the press for just the burst of damage the only situation in which a single instance of hydro damage would be useful is forward vaporiz and at that point you might as well just use any other Hydro unit for their burst it's basically animal Travelers tornado but worse it cannot be stopped by anything it continuously travels forward you know how aaka burst stops when it collides with an enemy this one doesn't it just keeps moving people have talked about how it can actually fly off the map if they were trying to achieve damage they failed horribly and if they're trying to achieve application they failed horribly too the bubble has a duration of only 4 seconds or 7 with C2 and a 20se second cool down that's a five to three times downtime they have the same self- regen mechanic that nalen has with the source waterer droplets and with C6 you can heal other members of your team but unlike novelet you have to manually pick them up and the healing is awful if recovery is your concerned you would actually do better using Chi my word this character is trash like this is the only character where I can call them dog and I don't think anyone would be mad at me for it from both the DPS and support perspective hydr traveler is completely unusable and it's not even because they units who do their job better they just suck they could be the only Hydro character in the game and people would still call them back last character will be Amber ah yes Amber the first Y no plays episode I've ever made on vars 2 and to be honest I kind of want to remake it R if you're watching this I salute your unwavering copium I mean dedication to your craft in all seriousness though Amber is someone who for most people has only one job get you through the tutorial being the first character you add to your party she teaches you a lot of the basic fundamentals of the game's combat from slopping out to elements to reactions to the usage of range attacks and aim shots stuff like that being a tutorial character no one expects her to be good but when compared to every other unit in the game it's pretty sad how underwhelming she is beyond the scope of her obvious flaws such as being focused on rapid pyro attacks despite pyro wanting to outo strong single hits not death by a th000 Cuts Baron buddy not having the auto explosion thing without constellations and getting extra copies of Amber being ironically more difficult than getting C6 on a festar depending on your luck Amber has gotten more and more irrelevant over time beginning in version two we had yoia a five-star pyro bow user who is superior to Amber in every way you can imagine with the one exception being off field application only there's not a single team that capitalizes on Amber's type of application then we got Linny in version 4 another pyro user burying any hopes of Amber finding a way out through on Fielding as for all Fielding just like shyan Amber would have to scale the Great Wall of benon and changling and she'll have to get in line other than shyan Amber is outclassed by every single pyro character in the game and as more and more pyro units come out she will get pushed further and further down pyro in particular is known for its one-dimensionality being exclusively centered around sheer force it's difficult for the element's members to distinguish themselves from one another exacerbating 's chances of being anything more than just a tutorial character she's underpowered in an element focused on Power and the one niche in which you could make a case for her being Elemental application is monopolized by shanling whose absence of internal cool down on Pyon NATO makes the Leaps and Bounds more effective than Amber's entire kit however at the very least for the outrider everyone has used her at least once you can go an entire playthrough without ever touching shenan so Amber does have that going for her but regardless unfortunately she will round up this list as one of the worst characters in the game I want to reiterate that this is not personal I have no bias against any of these units my only personal Grudge is against ulam me I'm just kidding it's all in good fun since I know most of you are going to be going but what about this character or that character let me know in the comments if you think there are other units who are worse than the five I chose and why for now though if you enjoyed the video it would be great if you could leave a like And subscribe don't forget to follow me on Twitter atvm join my Discord server and check out my updated top 10 best
