There are a lot of Genshin Impact characters, so it's important to know how to differentiate between them for your party. In Genshin Impact, your party is the core mechanic of the game, allowing you to produce a mixture of elemental and weapon attacks. Having different mixes of elements in your party will give various buffs. To see all the characters in Genshin Impact listed under their primary elements, where you can find them and how rare they are to recruit to your party, read on.

To learn how to combine elemental status effects in parties, read our Genshin Impact elements guide.
