the BIG four meta breaking supports – and their importance to Genshin Impact



Genshinโ€™s underdog supports have a large influence on the gameโ€™s environment that many players might not realize yet, but as the game continues to be fleshed out and new characters are added, the importance of these 4 supports and others like them will continue to rise.

  1. Shenhe: Cryo DPS Zhongli(Chongyun for infusion)
    Yunjin: Physical DPS Zhongli(makes up for his low N5 modifier)
    Sara: Mono Electro POWER.
    Gorou: Makes Itto good, but also, makes Burst Support Zhongli stronger.

  2. I adore how you give attention to characters who aren't often talked about let alone recomended in team comps. Cause I get tired hearing 'use Xiangling, just use Xingque, use Bennett everywhere'. And I only like Bennett as a character, the other two are just… no, don't wanna build them. I enjoy doing the Abyss without needing the best supports in the game. Feels like a great accomplishment to me uwu

  3. Honestly, I think making niche supports is great for the game. hoYoVerse acknowledges these team comps (or want to make variety of new team comps), that allow us to have a different way of playing the game. Granted, I'm all for the mono teams and I'm down to see a Mono dendro team in the near future.

  4. I have leveled and played exactly zero of these characters….because they have no role with any team I would play. I reflex leveled Sara when she came out, but she's just unusable at C0. I don't play geo, so no Gorou. (Though I do run Ning on my alt, but she can't benefit from Gorou, so lol?) I don't see any point in pulling for Shenhe when I could just pair Ganyu with Ayaka. And aside from not really liking Yun Jin's design, I don't own Yoimiya, so who am I going to use her with?

    So yeah, they're basically all worthless to me. Maybe Sara will become marginally viable with constellations. Maybe one day I'll have a new character one of them synergizes well with. But right now, they might as well be Xinyan.

  5. I am both a c6 sara and yunjin haver and have both crowned. I play Sara a lot especially and I just really enjoy her playstyle. Double crowned her even. I actually crowned all 4 charactes mentioned here at least once. I just love buffers and being able to play something else than the top of the topmeta.

  6. I wish I could use Gorou… but my Noelle isn't C6 and I'm never pulling for Itto because I dislike him. It's so bizarre that Gorou is tailor-made for Itto; in terms of lore it makes no sense at all. I just hope a character I actually like whom Gorou buffs well enough to justify the team slot eventually appears.

  7. I liked that you pointed out that Sara does contribute a large amount to damage in her best teams, because it feels like a lot of the time people forget she is not only a buffer but also a burst DPS who can buff herself. Unlike Yun Jin and Gorou (whom I have invested into, as I also main Yoimiya and Itto) she is more expensive to build since you want to give her a 5* weapon and stack her with attack, lots of CR and as much CD as possible. But, on the other hand, it is satisfying to see her drop casual nukes.

  8. many players have misunderstood the damage generated by the characters in this game. why? because there are many videos that show the character's damage was done in spiral abyys, not outside. they produce damage due to combos and get buffs on every floor, so when other players see our damage outside (co-op) someone says: " ah your demage is small even though that character can blah blah blah " and say: "your character is trash" THIS just an example. so that it is easy to understand, do it with only one character along with the info on the weapon used and the artifact. let's say we have the same character, the same level, the same talent level, the same weapon and the same artifact BUT if our character status differs from 1% to 5% of our strength then the results will be different except for the combo. do it without food buff, combo. solo character will be easier to understand how strong he is.

  10. The 'meta' suprisingly is a result of genshin intentionally withholding resources to prolong playtime, limited resources means you can only invest in a limited number of characters until you have finally hit max AR, and the underperforming characters simply get stomped by the powercrept newer content, i call it powercrept because the world already scales with your AR, yet the newer regions are basically outscaling you unless you already massively outgear/level the world.

    All of these limitations are because of resin and the world level system punishing you for not funneling all of your resources into the 'op' character

  11. question:

    if I don't have zhongli kokomi ganyu characters and no money to pull it them on 3.0 mean still fine? because I am f2p 0$ player and i have ayaka diona xingqyu unit.
