List of Genshin Impact characters

The cast of characters in HoYoverse's Genshin Impact hails from the continent of Teyvat, which has seven nations: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya. Each nation is ruled by one of seven Archons, or gods.</ref> The seven gods stands for 7 different element, which are Anemo (air), Geo (earth), Pyro (fire), Hydro (water), Cryo (ice), Electro (electricity), and Dendro (plants). ^[1] Nearly all playable characters control one of seven natural elements with help from a Vision, a device the heavens grant to those with great ambitions, with the exception of some characters who control the elements through their own supernatural powers, such as Dainsleif, the Archons, and the Traveler.

Design

Some of Genshin Impact's characters were first introduced in an official manga released prior to the game's launch. ^[2]

When designing characters, the designers first decide who the character is at their core as well as their needs, then may design them to fit that original idea and those needs. ^[3] Designers may also consider the relation of a character to other characters in Teyvat: for instance, the elegant and reserved opera singer Yun Jin was designed to juxtapose the fiery and unbound rock star Xinyan. ^[4]

Many characters are derived from legends of certain nations: for instance, the adepti of Liyue are based on the Xian of Daoism. The idea of the Vision is derived from Daoism: the concept of a third eye manifests itself in humans in the form of their Vision. ^[3] Some characters, such as Alhaitham, Tighnari, and Xiangling, are named after historical or literary figures.

Reception

The characters of Genshin Impact have enjoyed positive reception, especially in terms of revenue: as Genshin Impact is a gacha game, much of its revenue comes from sales of in-game currency players use to obtain characters. Most revenue comes from limited character banners. Across all platforms, including mobile, console and computer platforms, the game is estimated to have grossed nearly US$3.7 billion in its first year by September 2021, the highest ever first-year launch revenue for any video game. ^{[61] [62] [63]} The mobile version grossed a further US$567 million between January and March 2022. ^[64]

Several of the game's characters have enjoyed massive popularity and have earned millions of dollars in revenue. For instance, in March 2021, it was reported that Zhongli was the game's highest grossing character, with US$15.5 million reported in revenue at the time. ^[65] This number was later eclipsed by the December 2022 release of the Raiden Shogun, whose first banner earned US$9 million in two days from Chinese iOS sales; ^[66] by the time the banner ended, it had netted around US$33 million in the Chinese market alone. ^[67] Shogun's record was eventually broken by the November 2, 2022 banner, which introduced the Dendro archon Nahida and earned US$34 million in the Chinese market. ^[68]

Controversy

In November 2020, following Zhongli's release he received criticism from fans; due to his equipment and gameplay being viewed as poor, many took Zhongli as an insult toward Chinese players. miHoYo published a blog post in response, noting that the character was working as designed. ^[69] Later, miHoYo issued an apology, and promised to improve the character's kit during beta testing for version 1.3. ^[70]

In early March 2023, HoYoverse was criticized following Dehya's release, as some of the game's fanbase argued that her kit was underpowered and dysfunctional, particularly compared to those of lower-rarity characters. ^{[71] [72]} Several players announced that they had stopped spending money on the game, while others sent feedback to HoYoverse demanding improvements. ^[73] As one of the few dark-skinned playable characters in the game, some suggested that her poor skillset might be due to colorism, given similar accusations made against HoYoverse in the past. ^[74] A campaign urging the wider playerbase to press HoYoverse for change trended on Twitter under the hashtag #FixDehya, with many spamming the game's official account. ^[75]

Notes

1. Due to unknown reasons, the Traveler cannot resonate with Pyro from Natlan's Statue of The Seven.
2. In the Korean version of the game, Cyno was originally solely voiced by Lee Woo-ri. However, after his death, he is now being voiced by Jung Eui-jin with Lee Woo-ri's existing voicelines retained.
3. In the English version of the game, Tighnari was originally voiced by Elliot Gindi. However, after sexual abuse allegations were raised against Gindi, he was replaced by Gordon. ^{[34] [35]}
4. Furina was created by the Hydro Archon Focalors to impersonate the Archon, thereby preventing a cataclysmic prophecy. Furina was believed to be an Archon by the people of Fontaine, but the end of Fontaine's story revealed the truth. After Focalors sacrificed herself to prevent the prophecy, Furina's childlike temper and irritability decreased.
5. Dottore's real name was not explicitly stated in-game, but was stated in the official manga.
6. Aether
7. Lumine
8. In the Chinese version of the game, Oz was originally voiced by Li Yuantao. However, after allegations of abuse, he was replaced with Zhao Yuecheng.
9. His name is inconsistent throughout the game. Fischl's lore depicts it as Ozvaldo Hrafnavins while her English voiceovers depicting it as Ozvaldo von Hrafnavins; the Chinese version of the game depicts it as Ozvaldo Hrafnavines.
