| Character | Roles and Strengths |
|---|---|
| Kokomi | As a DPS ・Decent Hydro driver for Bloom and Electro-Charged reactions, and self-sufficient as she can heal for herself. ・Her kit not allowing her to crit requires her to use teams and artifacts that would introduce damage for her. As a Sub-DPS ・Has a persistent off-field Hydro application with her Elemental Skill that can be refreshed with her Elemental Burst. ・When using the Clam artifact, her heals would also deal good off-field damage. As a Support ・Has an incredibly strong and reliable healing which can also apply Hydro off-field. ・A staple for Freeze and certain Bloom teams. |
| Baizhu | As a Support ・Great comfort healer for all content. ・Provides decent shielding that can act as an interrupt resistance. ・Applies decent off-field Dendro for reactions. |
| Nahida | As a Sub-DPS ・A must have for any Dendro focused team comps, especially with her C2 constellation. ・Elemental Skill has great off-field damage and can apply Dendro multiple times with a long duration. As a Support ・Can provide up to 250 Elemental Mastery to the character on the field inside her low-energy cost Elemental Burst. ・C2 Unlocks multiple Dendro reaction-based buffs. |
| Neuvillette | As a DPS ・Outstanding and constant damage on his Charged Attack damage. ・Self-sufficiency lets him be a one-man army. ・C1 constellation removes his major weaknesses. |
| Character | Roles and Strengths |
|---|---|
| Sucrose | As a Sub-DPS ・Good driver for Swirling multiple Elements for multiple reactions and deal persistent damage. As a Support ・Elemental Skill and Burst provides crowd control. ・Swirling increases your party's Elemental Mastery by a great deal, which enables your party to have increased reaction damage. |
| Mona | As a Sub-DPS ・Elemental Skill applies Hydro off-field but only to a limited area. ・Elemental Burst massively amplifies reaction DMG. As a Support ・Elemental Burst debuffs enemies to increase the damage dealt by your Main DPS. ・Elemental Burst also provides a small crowd control for smaller enemies. |
| Yae Miko | As a Sub-DPS ・Elemental Skill is easy to use, has a short cooldown, and does a lot of damage, but needs lengthy setup. ・Damage is competitive when run with a Dendro team comp for Aggravate. |
| Wriothesley | As a DPS ・Good single-target focused Main DPS who specializes in triggering melt or freeze reactions in close-combat. ・Kit is incomplete without his C1. This constellation also fixes his anti-synergy with certain healers. ・Struggles against spread-out packs of mobs. |
| Xianyun | As a Support ・Enables plunging playstyle with healing and great buffs for her dedicated teams. |
| Character | Roles and Strengths |
|---|---|
| Wanderer | As a DPS ・Normal Attacks have a wide AoE and can home in on enemies. ・Requires proper dedicated supports to perform well at low constellations. ・Elemental Skill allows him to float mid-air, making exploration easy. |
| Charlotte | As a Support ・Good panic healing when stuck in a pinch, although the AoE for it is small. ・Constellation improves her efficiency with healing. |
| Character | Roles and Strengths |

| Lisa | As a Sub-DPS ・Elemental Burst provides good off-field Electro application in an AoE. ・ C2 provides DEF buff and makes her debuff easier to apply. As a Support ・Lowers enemy DEF by 15% from passive talent. |
| Character | Roles and Strengths |
|---|---|
| Barbara | As a Support ・Has burst healing and aura to sustain the party. Although her Elemental Skill cooldown and Burst cost is high. ・At Constellation Level 6, gains the ability to revive downed teammates to 100% health. |
| Klee | As a DPS ・Attacks primarily with Normal and Charged Attacks, cleaning up swaths of foes. ・Her clunky playstyle isn't for everyone and requires min-maxing her rotations to play optimally. |
| Ningguang | As a DPS ・Decent Geo DPS damage with a combination of her Normal and Charged Attacks. ・Requires high investment on her constellations to play optimally. |
| Yanfei | As a DPS ・Good Pyro Normal and Charged attacks user, but scaling for damage is to be expected for a regular 4-star character like her. ・Stamina consumption is big but made easier with C1. |
| Heizou | As a DPS ・Focuses on Swirl DMG or CRIT to do DPS. Can be used as either a driver for Viridescent Venerer, or as a quick-swap burst damage dealer. ・Elemental Skill can easily deal max DMG easily with Swirls as a Catalyst user, although his other damage sources aren't up to par. |
