Characters who will make the most of Thundering Pulse in Genshin Impact

Thundering Pulse in Genshin Impact has a precious Crit Damage secondary stat and passive skills that can increase the wielder's attack. With a massive 66.2% Critical Damage, it proves to be more suitable for a DPS character that depends on their Normal Attack.

1) Yoimiya

Yoimiya can easily stack the Thunder Emblem from the passive skill. The requirements are to hit an enemy using a Normal Attack, cast an Elemental Skill, and have less than 100% Energy.

As her best in-slot weapon, it is no surprise that Yoimiya can take full advantage of the Thundering Pulse.

2) Tartaglia

3) Yelan

The recently released Yelan is mainly used as a supporting character, but it is no secret that she can deal enormous damage even with her Elemental Skill and Burst. She can still take advantage of Thundering Pulse to aid in increasing her damage when supporting other characters in the team.

4) Fischl

Characters who can best-use Summit Shaper in Genshin Impact

Summit Shaper is a 5-star sword that focuses on providing bonuses for the wielder only. The passive skill will increase the shield strength of the wielder and their attack after scoring hits on opponents.

1) Keqing

This sword is an excellent option for most DPS units, but only if they have a shielder in the team. Keqing is one of the characters that suits this weapon as her fast attack can stack the Attack bonus quickly.

2) Kamisato Ayato

Ayato is another Genshin Impact character who has a skill that can quickly hit enemies. If a shield protects him, the attack bonus will increase by 100%. This way, users can focus on building Crit Rate or Crit Damage for his artifacts.

3) Kamisato Ayaka

Similar to her brother, Ayaka is another suitable contender to use Summit Shaper. Her Elemental Burst alone can multiple hits against an enemy.

In addition, her Normal Attack is also as fast as lightning, allowing her to stack the attack bonus easily.
