Neuvillette is one of the strongest DPS characters in Genshin Impact, even at C0. He is a versatile unit with various support and team options. Although a self-sufficient character at C0, he becomes even stronger with the addition of Constellations.

Except Neuvillette's C5, all of his cons significantly increase his value and strength. Furthermore, his C1 and C2 provide him with Interruption Resistance, Crit Damage buffs, and other QoL updates. With his C4 and C6, the damage of Neuvillette is significantly increased, and his playstyle is also slightly changed.

Mavuika is the Pyro Archon hailing from the Natlan region. She can deal extremely high damage numbers, with the proper buffs and team comps. Even without her best teams, she still deals a lot of damage. Furthermore, you can use her as an off-field DPS.

Mavuika also has some of the strongest constellations in the whole game. Her C1 and C2 offer significant value, and you can potentially obtain them if you want her to deal more damage. Mavuika C6 is one of the highest damage dealers in Genshin and is generally used by players who like to speedrun Spiral Abyss and other challenging content.

Arlecchino is one of the top Pyro DPS characters, boasting notable constellations. She is one of the best DPS units in the game at C0. Furthermore, she is one of the most versatile characters and can be used in various teams.

Arlecchino has some of the most powerful early constellations. Even with her C1 and C2, you can still clear some of the hardest content, such as Local Legends and Spiral Abyss. Furthermore, she has one of the most broken C6s in Genshin, as she gains huge buffs to her damage. Since she is a Pyro unit, using Cryo and Hydro teammates further boosts her damage potential.

4) Furina

Furina is one of the most broken support units in the game. Ever since her release, she has had a high usage rate in the Spiral Abyss. Furthermore, by using Furina teams, you can equip the Marechaussee Hunter Artifact set to your DPS characters to balance their Crit ratio better.

Furina's early constellations significantly enhance her support potential and reduce her ER requirements. However, with her C6, she is one of the Top DPS units in the game. If you also have Xianyun, then you can use Plunge Furina build with her C6; she can defeat most bosses like Local Legends in seconds.

5) Chiori

Although Chiori is a niche off-field Geo DPS unit at C0, she gains much value from her constellations. At C0, she is one of the best support characters for Mono Geo teams. If you pair her up with Itto, Zhongli, or Geo Main Character, she inflicts even more damage. Chiori's limitation at C0 is that she needs teammates who can summon Geo Constructs for her full damage potential.

However, her C1 removes this limitation, allowing you to use her in many more teams. Furthermore, most of her cons increase her off-field DPS and support value. Her C6 is an exception, as it turns her into a main DPS unit capable of clearing the most challenging content in Genshin Impact with ease.

6) Mualani

Mualani is a Hydro DPS unit released during the 5.0 version. The only limitation for her teams is that she needs units such as Xiangling or Mavuika to deal high damage. You could also use other Pyro characters, such as Dehya, but her damage would be comparatively less in these teams.

Although she is limited to Vaporize team comps, she deals high damage numbers in these teams. Furthermore, she has great constellations that buff her DPS potential. Mualani's C6 is generally used by players who want to speedrun Spiral Abyss and other content.

7) Varesa

Varesa is an Electro DPS character who was released recently in version 5.5. She is also one of the top damage dealers in the game, and doesn't need broken supports to deal high numbers. She has high multipliers for her Plunging attacks, so you could also use her in a Mono Electro team if you want to.

Varesa boasts some impressive constellations, which further solidify her position as one of the best DPS units in Genshin Impact. Her C1 is a good upgrade to her damage and exploration abilities. Her C4 and C6 are also significant upgrades to her damage potential, as they provide more buffs.

8) Xilonen

Xilonen is one of the best support characters in the game. She has healing, Res Shred, and can use the Scroll of the Hero of the Cinder City artifact set. With this set, she can further buff the Elemental damage of other teammates. Furthermore, she is relatively easy to build, as she only needs Defense and ER stats.

Xilonen also has some of the best constellations in the game, which buff her support capabilities. Her C1 and C2 are generally considered the best stopping points, as they provide more value. Xilonen's other constellations, such as C4 and C6, are also good and offer her more flexibility, as you can use her as a main DPS.

9) Nahida

Nahida is the Dendro Archon who rules over the Sumeru nation. She is one of the best support units for Dendro-reaction-based teams. She has good damage, high, and a fast Elemental application rate. Furthermore, your active characters can also get EM buffs through her Elemental Burst.

Nahida is an excellent support at C0, but some of her constellations, such as C2 and C6, are broken. The C2 provides more buffs and allows you to deal more damage from the Burgeon, Bloom, Burning, and Hyperbloom Elemental reactions. Whereas, you can utilize her as a main DPS unit with her C6.

10) Citlali

Citlali is a Cryo Catalyst character hailing from the Natlan region. She is primarily used as a shielder/ off-field Elemental application unit. As a Catalyst user, she can use the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers weapon to buff teammates. Furthermore, she can utilize the Scroll of the Hero of the Cinder City artifact set to buff the Elemental damage.

Citlali also provides Pyro and Hydro res shred through her talents. She is used chiefly in Vaporize and Freeze team comps. She has some of the most broken support constellations in the game. With her C2, Citlali provides 250 EM to the active character and further increases Pyro and Hydro res shred numbers on her passive.

Citlali's C1 increases the Normal, Charged, Plunging, Elemental Skill, or Burst damage of nearby teammates by 200 percent of her EM. Furthermore, her C6 grants Pyro and Hydro damage bonuses to active characters based on her Nightsoul points.

Yelan is a Hydro Bow unit from the Liyue region. She is mainly an off-field DPS unit with high Hydro application. At C0, she is an excellent and versatile support unit, with various team options. Since she is similar to Xingqiu, you can use her in the same teams as him. One of her drawbacks is that she has high ER requirements. However, her constellations, such as C1, ease her ER needs.

Furthermore, her C2 increases the Hydro Elemental Application through her Burst. She also has one of the most broken C6s in Genshin Impact, dealing significant damage with it. Her playstyle also doesn't change significantly with her C6, as she only needs little on-field time to use its full effects.
