All Genshin Impact Characters in 2026

This list is only about the characters that have already been released. I didn’t include the upcoming characters from Version 6.7. I’ve kept this table basic to maintain the cleanliness and ease of reading. It’s sorted by character names in alphabetical order. I’ve created the table using this wiki page with a list of all current characters. This table includes the character’s rarity, element, weapon, and region where they come from. Here is the full list of all playable Genshin Impact characters in 2026:

I probably should’ve said this earlier, but just in case - this is not a tier list. It’s just a list of characters available in the game. If you need a tier list of the best characters, there’s a separate article for that.

Genshin Impact Characters by Region 

If you’re trying to track characters by nation, the roster is now spread across way more than the original Mondstadt and Liyue characters. The current character pool includes units from Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, Nod-Krai, and Snezhnaya. Some characters are also listed without a region. That mostly applies to unusual cases like Traveler, Aloy, Skirk, Nicole, and Wonderland Manekin. Basically, the “none” label is where Genshin puts characters that don’t fit into the usual nation boxes.

• Mondstadt: Albedo, Amber, Barbara, Bennett, Dahlia, Diluc, Diona, Durin, Eula, Fischl, Jean, Kaeya, Klee, Lisa, Lohen, Mika, Noelle, Prune, Razor, Rosaria, Sucrose, Varka, Venti.
• Liyue: Baizhu, Beidou, Chongyun, Gaming, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Keqing, Lan Yan, Ningguang, Qiqi, Shenhe, Xiangling, Xianyun, Xiao, Xingqiu, Xinyan, Yanfei, Yaoyao, Yelan, Yun Jin, Zhongli, Zibai.
• Inazuma: Arataki Itto, Chiori, Gorou, Kaedehara Kazuha, Kamisato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayato, Kirara, Kujou Sara, Kuki Shinobu, Raiden Shogun, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Sayu, Shikanoin Heizou, Thoma, Yae Miko, Yoimiya, Yumemizuki Mizuki.
• Sumeru: Alhaitham, Candace, Collei, Cyno, Dehya, Dori, Faruzan, Kaveh, Layla, Nahida, Nilou, Sethos, Tighnari, Wanderer.
• Fontaine: Charlotte, Chevreuse, Clorinde, Emilie, Escoffier, Freminet, Furina, Lynette, Lyney, Navia, Neuvillette, Sigewinne, Wriothesley.
• Natlan: Chasca, Citlali, Iansan, Ifa, Kachina, Kinich, Mavuika, Mualani, Ororon, Varesa, Xilonen.
• Nod-Krai: Aino, Columbina, Flins, Illuga, Ineffa, Jahoda, Lauma, Linnea, Nefer.
• Snezhnaya: Arlecchino, Tartaglia.
• No Region / Special: Aloy, Nicole, Skirk, Traveler, Wonderland Manekin.

And now you know which characters to pick for each of GI’s many regions, plus which characters benefit from certain weapon synergies.

Genshin Impact Characters by Element

Instead of the usual elements that we all know, Genshin Impact characters use these elements:

• Anemo: Chasca, Faruzan, Ifa, Jahoda, Jean, Kaedehara Kazuha, Lan Yan, Lynette, Prune, Sayu, Shikanoin Heizou, Sucrose, Varka, Venti, Wanderer, Xianyun, Xiao, Yumemizuki Mizuki.

• Adaptive: Traveler, Wonderland Manekin.

Like 99% of the characters have one fixed element. Traveler and Wonderland Manekin are different from the bunch because their element can change depending on the version or system tied to them. For regular team building, though, you usually pay attention to the fixed-element characters first.

Genshin Impact Characters by Weapon

Every playable character uses one of five weapon types:

• Sword: Albedo, Alhaitham, Bennett, Chiori, Clorinde, Dahlia, Durin, Furina, Jean, Kaedehara Kazuha, Kaeya, Kamisato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayato, Keqing, Kirara, Kuki Shinobu, Layla, Lynette, Nilou, Qiqi, Skirk, Traveler, Xingqiu, Xilonen, Zibai.
• Claymore: Aino, Arataki Itto, Beidou, Chongyun, Dehya, Diluc, Dori, Eula, Freminet, Gaming, Kaveh, Kinich, Mavuika, Navia, Noelle, Razor, Sayu, Varka, Xinyan.
• Polearm: Arlecchino, Candace, Chevreuse, Cyno, Emilie, Escoffier, Flins, Hu Tao, Iansan, Illuga, Ineffa, Kachina, Lohen, Mika, Raiden Shogun, Rosaria, Shenhe, Thoma, Xiangling, Xiao, Yaoyao, Yun Jin, Zhongli.
• Bow: Aloy, Amber, Chasca, Collei, Diona, Faruzan, Fischl, Ganyu, Gorou, Jahoda, Kujou Sara, Lyney, Ororon, Sethos, Sigewinne, Tartaglia, Tighnari, Venti, Yelan, Yoimiya.
• Catalyst: Baizhu, Barbara, Charlotte, Citlali, Columbina, Ifa, Klee, Lan Yan, Lauma, Lisa, Mona, Mualani, Nahida, Nefer, Neuvillette, Nicole, Ningguang, Prune, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Shikanoin Heizou, Sucrose, Varesa, Wanderer, Wonderland Manekin, Wriothesley, Xianyun, Yae Miko, Yanfei, Yumemizuki Mizuki.

Weapon type is important because it affects playstyle, attack range, animations, and available weapon choices. It does not always tell you the character’s real role, though. Some Catalyst users are main DPS units, some are supports, and some are healers. Same weapon, completely different job. That’s Genshin for ya.
