Genshin Impact 2025 Anniversary Five-Star Character Selection Guide: The Best Picks and Team Combinations

Hello travelers, the 2025 Genshin Impact 6.0 Anniversary Celebration is finally here! Starting September 10, 2025, players will receive a free five-star character selection bonus, a once-in-a-year opportunity for every traveler. Choosing the best character for your team has become a key concern for many. This article will provide a detailed analysis of each character's role, gameplay characteristics, constellation priorities, and recommended builds to help you make the ideal choice.

1. Character Selection Priorities

When choosing five-star characters, you can prioritize them based on your strategy and needs. They can generally be categorized as follows:

1. Power-Prioritized Players

If you prioritize team damage and combat efficiency, we recommend Keqing, Mona, Jean, and Tinari. These characters excel in the main or off-carry roles, and unlocking key constellations significantly boosts their power. For example, Keqing performs extremely well in a Blitzed Reaction team, and upgrading her Constellation allows for even higher damage output. Mona, as a support, can increase the team's overall damage. Tinari's stable output in a Grass-elemental lineup makes her a reliable main carry.

2. Pokémon Collection Players

Some players prioritize completing their Pokémon Collection before considering Constellation upgrades. These players can consider completing their Pokémon Collection based on their existing characters, prioritizing missing characters to avoid missing out on the complete Pokémon Collection.

3. True Lovers

If you have a particular preference for certain characters, choosing your favorite is always the most important thing. Even if they don't have the highest power rating, it's still fun to play with characters that satisfy your preferences and gameplay experience.

4. General Tips for Casual Players

For casual players, prioritizing characters you don't already own is more practical. This way, even if you complete all the characters in the future, you won't have to rely on gachas to obtain them. Furthermore, if you already have a five-star character, it's recommended to choose a character with less than full Constellation to improve their combat power or complete your collection.

II. Detailed Analysis and Recommendations of Five-Star Characters

1. Diluk

Position: Main DPS

Element: Fire

Play Characteristics: Once a top-tier DPS character at launch, he now faces competition from numerous Fire DPS characters, and his damage performance has fallen behind that of top-tier characters. His primary playstyle is a Falling or Melting build, making him a valuable reference for beginners.

Constellation Recommendations: Constellations 1, 4, and 6

Recommended for: True fans or new players exploring the new game. Not recommended for casual players.

2. Tinari

Position: Main DPS

Element: Grass

Play Characteristics: He maintains stable DPS in the current environment, especially in a "Tibanal Bell" lineup. He doesn't require a specialized weapon to perform effectively, and his constellation boost is significant, making him suitable for veteran and Abyss players.

Constellation Recommendations: Constellations 1, 2, 4, and 6

Recommended for: Players with a complete Grass team.

3. Dixia

Position: Support

Element: Fire

Playstyle: Primarily provides damage reduction, invincibility, and backstage fire support. Suitable for certain comps like Ganyu or Kinich, but the overall damage increase is limited.

Recommended Constellations: 1st, 2nd, and 6th Constellations

Recommended for: Players who truly love Fire supports or prefer Fire-based supports; average players may consider skipping this.

4. Qiqi

Position: Support

Element: Ice

Playstyle: Provides basic healing and can revive the entire team at full Constellation, but its versatility is limited. Suitable for completing a Pokémon collection or for collecting Pokémons.

Recommended Constellations: 1st and 6th Constellations

Recommended for: Players who truly love Pokémons or Pokémons; average players may prioritize other characters.

5. Qin

Position: Off-Carry/Support

Element: Wind

Playstyle: Can be used as a frontline health recovery character. Combined with her ultimate, she can instantly boost health and provide continuous regeneration. She can also further reduce resistance when equipped with the Four Winds set. Suitable for comps lacking healing; Charlotte can be a good alternative. Constellation Recommendations: 2nd or 4th Constellation

Recommended for: Players whose teams lack a Wind elemental healer.

6. Keqing

Position: Main Carry

Element: Thunder

Playstyle: After the Xumi patch, she's seen some improvement thanks to the Intensified Reaction, but her overall strength isn't as strong as the newly introduced top-tier main carries. New players can still benefit from using a Grass elemental combo.

Constellation Recommendations: 4th or 6th Constellation

Recommended for: True fans or new players; not recommended for average players.

7. Mona

Position: Sub-Carry

Element: Water

Playstyle: Once a must-have character for nuclear explosions, providing high Water damage, but her role has declined since the introduction of Funinna. Still suitable for teams lacking Water damage.

Constellation Recommendations: 1st or 4th Constellation

Recommended for: Players lacking Water or who enjoy Water mechanics.

8. Dreaming of Tsuki Mizuki

Position: Main Carry

Element: Wind

Gameplay Features: A wind-based main carry with a diffusion reaction as its core. Easy to control, deals area damage and restores health when allies are low on health. Suitable for environments with many monsters, with average single-target damage. Highly attractive, suitable for players who prefer wind-type characters.

Recommended Constellations: 1st, 2nd, and 6th Constellations

Recommended for: Players seeking good looks and a medium damage experience.

III. Selection Strategy Summary

Power Prioritized: Keqing, Mona, Jean, Tinari

Posse Prioritized: Complete your Posse by selecting missing characters.

Common Strategy: Prioritize characters you don't own to improve your team's overall strength.

Whether your choice is based on your team lineup, character collection, or personal preference, please carefully consider the options. Five-star characters only appear once a year for free selection; if you miss, you'll have to wait another year.
