Top 5 Teams in Genshin Impact (My Personal Pre-Natlan List)

Introduction

Introduction

As we eagerly await the Natlan update in Genshin Impact, let's take a look at my top five teams that have been invaluable during my journey across Teyvat. These teams are ranked based on their performance in AoE, single-target damage, multi-wave battles, comfort, and my overall satisfaction when using them. Please note, this is a biased tier list; Genshin Impact has too many variables, enemies, and great teams to create an objective top five list. This list is based on extensive character building and testing.

Team #5: Navia Plunge

Overview

Navia Plunge excels in consistent and easy-to-execute damage. Although she may fall short in sheer DPS, this team makes up for it through simple and straightforward gameplay. Her single-target performance is solid, and while her AoE isn't the best, it's serviceable. With flexible rotations and strong healing from Shenyun, this team shines in multi-wave scenarios.

Team Setup

• Core Characters: Navia, Shenyun
• Flex Slot: Chiori (alternatives: Zhongli, Albedo, Ningguang, Geo Traveler)

Natlan Prospects

I anticipate that new Geo characters from Natlan could potentially outperform Chiori, especially considering future buffs and abilities that could synergize better with Navia.

Team #4: Hyperbloom

Overview

Hyperbloom, particularly with Alhaitham, is a robust team known for its outstanding single-target damage and impressive AoE. Despite being mechanically simple, it's extremely effective. While I often prefer a double Hydro setup, Alhaitham's variant deserves the spotlight.

Team Setup

• Core Characters: Nahida, Electro, Hydro
• Flex Slots: Alhaitham, Yelan, Xingqiu, Kuki

Natlan Prospects

Future updates may introduce characters focused on burning, particularly from the Natlan region. While it seems unlikely we'll see direct Hyperbloom upgrades early on, future support characters could bolster this already strong team.

Team #3: Arlecchino Vape

Overview

When it comes to peak performance, the Arlecchino Vape team stands out. Utilizing characters like Bennett, Yelan, and Kazuha, this team delivers high damage output, especially in burst scenarios.

Team Setup

• Core Characters: Arlecchino, Bennett, Yelan, Kazuha
• Flex Slots: Sucrose (for single-target), Zhongli (for comfort)

Natlan Prospects

I foresee potential upgrades for Arlecchino’s team in Natlan, specifically in the form of a Bennett replacement that might elevate its performance to new heights.

Team #2: Childe Overload

Overview

Childe Overload is a personal favorite due to its superb damage output and ease of setup. While it's exceptionally powerful with C6 Fischl, the team remains impressive even at lower investment levels.

Team Setup

• Core Characters: Childe, Fischl, Toma (alternatives: Dehya), Xiangling
• Flex Slots: N/A

Natlan Prospects

The future looks bright for this team, especially with the anticipated arrival of the Pyro Archon, which could replace Toma and significantly boost overall performance.

Team #1: Noelle Hypercarry

Overview

Noelle Hypercarry triumphs as the best team due to its unparalleled versatility and strength. With impressive AoE damage and zero downtime between waves, this team stands out across all scenarios.

Team Setup

• Core Characters: Noelle, Kazhua, Zhongli (alternatives: Baizhu, Lisa), Fischl
• Flex Slots: N/A

Natlan Prospects

While it's not immediately clear how this team will transform in Natlan, I expect potential enhancements through new character abilities and buffs.
