the BIG three meta breaking characters – and their importance to Genshin Impact

by



Genshin Impact is home to a large and growing roster of characters, many of which fall under the ‘Main DPS’ category. But this category is full of very similar characters… well, for the most part. A small handful of this roster falls under a category I consider ‘meta breakers’, and they play a very important role in Genshin Impact’s established environment.

  2. as someone who not only just has all three but plays all three on a regular basis, screw meta

    ALSO all three are extremely fun to play, they’re all really fast paced and flashy (specifically xiao and itto). i never played claymores before eula because i just didn’t like how slow it was, but with eula and itto, they not only attack quickly but playing them is just so fun.

    i have almost all of the 5 star dps but these three are definitely in my top few <3 i adore them sm

  10. Moral of the story: you don’t need reactions if you hit like a truck. Characters that lack in elemental reactions have higher scalings to compensate, vice versa. Game is balanced but kids see big pp dmg per screenshot numbers and vent off.

  11. This was a really good video! It’s nice to have someone creating conversations like this and not doom posting nonstop about lack of endgame and meta focus. So refreshing! Thanks!

    I really like Jean though and do think she is an honorable mention is this regard.

    I won my 50/50 on my main account for Xiao and have 70 wishes for guaranteed Itto on my other. I like playing characters I like and those I find fun. It’s nice to have someone say it’s actually a good choice. Both Itto and Xiao are favorites of mine.☺️

  12. Triple crowned C2 Itto main here: thanks for the Itto appreciation. When he first released, a lot of people trashed him because "he couldn't do amplifying reactions like melt/vape". But people have to understand, Itto (and Xiao/Eula) still do great damage because Hoyoverse amp up their base numbers to make them competitive. Also if Itto is any other elements (eg: Hydro), he will be restricted by ICD so he wouldn't be as smooth and as great as he is today. I'm happy with his gameplay design and in love with his personality. I know that other geo main DPS will eventually be released but this himbo oni will forever have a special place in my heart

  17. Meen its been just awesome to play Itto,the gameplay feels so rewarding and satisfying to play because of the feeling of just strong raw elemental damage. Also yeeting ushi is one funiest thing ive ever done in genshin.
    Good video, good stuff, love ur videos men!

  18. Eula is one of my favorites. Individually, she's my strongest DPS. Raiden Shogun just beats her as a whole in Rational. But soon I'll have C6 Fischl and C6 Rosaria, that could make her nearly as strong as Rational.

  26. Itto is my favorite character. Ironically, I dont have him. The only thing keeping me from pulling him is my lack of gorou. Not even one copy gorou. why mihoyo why

  27. The first time I got 36 stars in the abyss was when I got Itto and Redhorn. My legit Mono Geo team composed of Zhongli, Ningguang, Gorou, and Itto clears floors so fast that it doesn't matter if my other team kinds sucks coz my mono geo makes up for it. Now I have 2 strong team's and getting 36 stars is a peace of cake.

  35. Triple crowned C3 Itto and was saving to C4 but got a lucky pull on weapon banner and got jade spear. Got a guaranteed Xiao to mix up gameplay since chungus sword was feeling old. Never been this lucky before and lost every 50/50 since I first started in September last year.

  37. Contrary to popular belief, crystallize is not actually totally useless. When using Itto, I run Itto (obviously), 2 other geo and then Bennett in place of a shielder. (partially due to lack of zhongli) This is because when facing an enemy that uses elemental damage, that element is usually applied on the enemy themselves. So, when I do geo attacks, they create a shield themselves. Even if said enemy doesn't use elemental damage, the pyro crystallize still gives some form of resistance. It's completely copium, but that's okay 😀

  38. I dont have xiao and itto yet so cant say for them
    But i have eula and i can say that she is very valuable as there will never be an abyss in which eula cant be used to 36* with.
    Sure other chars can as well but when u have let's say yoimiya and ayaka built.
    Abyss always changes according to current character banner.
    When there will be hutao banner, using ayaka will be very hard cuz there might be cryo slimes and single target unfreezable enemies. With tremendous amounts of effort sure u can clear with ayaka as well but it will be a very tough time. Same thing imagine if there are 69 pyro slimes in 1 half and a pyro hypostasis in 2nd half while it's ganyu banner running. Yeah good luck using yoimiya.

    Meanwhile with eula there is no such enemy which is immune to physical dmg. Even with many past and current abyss having high physical resistance enemies like PMA or ruin guards or ruin sentinals. I am still doing constant 36 stars with eula team always in my abyss team. Meanwhile for 2nd team i have to constantly switch between ganyu freeze or hu tao vape to adjust according to enemy type.
