Genshin Impact is a game that gives players a lot of choice. They can assign up to four characters to a team that they will take with them on their adventure across Liyue. Players unlock characters through timed special events or Wishes, the game's loot box system. Each character has a distinct backstory as well as a designated element that is used in attacks. These elements are complimentary and multiple elements can combine for devastating results to enemies.
When players are choosing their team of four to take on their journey, there are quite a few choices when it comes to the Electro element. Players can upgrade the characters through Ascension levels with Mora, the game's currency, and items picked up while playing. These levels unlock Talents that can have effects on the battlefield. Players will want to look at attacks and buffs, seeing which elements can combine in order to create a team that suits their play style.
8 Kujou Sara Starts At 16-42 And Maxes At 182-195
Kujou Sara is a bow wielding Tengu of the Tenryou Commission.

Her elemental attack, Tengu Stormcall, teleports her backward and summons the protection of the Crowfeather.
While in this Crowfeather state, if Koujo fires a charged arrow, there will be a Crowfeather left behind after impact. This feather triggers a Tengu Jurai: Ambush AoE attack that deals Electro damage. Her second attack, Subjugation: Koukou Sendou calls down a massive bolt of lightning to Kujou Sara's position. Upon impact, it also separates into four smaller bolts that deal more Electro damage.
7 Beidou Starts At 19-49 And Maxes At 210-225

Her elemental attack Tidecaller has two modes based on input. With a press, she accumulates lighting into her sword and unleashes it in a large swing.
Holding the button makes Beidou use the sword as a shield, absorbing attacks until the duration ends when she uses the stored power from the attacks in a large swing. Stormbreaker, her second attack, generates an Electro shield that repels attacks. Some that hit it may even chain to other close-by enemies when it reflects. It also increases her resistance to interruption and decreases her damage taken.

4 Fischl Starts At 20-53 And Maxes At 227-244
Fischl is an Investigator for Mondstadt's Adventurer's Guild who wields a bow. While her normal attack allows up to five shots, her charged attack is a single precision shot. Her elemental attack, Nightrider, summons Oz, a raven made of darkness and lightning that deals Electro damage to a small AoE.
Her second attack, Midnight Phantasmagoria, also summons Oz, but now Fischl takes on his form as a shield, increasing her movement speed and blasting enemies with Electro bolts. With the Talent Stellar Predator, Fischel can hit Oz with a charged arrow shot which causes him to blast the area with a large Electro attack.

Keqing is the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing and uses a sword as her weapon. She can perform up to five rapid strikes as well as the standard charge and plunge attacks.

If she rapidly uses this attack again, she can teleport to the impact sight and perform a slash attack.
Keqing's second attack, Starward Sword, has three parts. The first unleashes an explosion of lightning. She then blends with her blade and strikes with a handful of Thunderclap Blows that deal Electro Damage. Finally, there is another massive burst of Electro damage.
2 Raiden Shogun Starts At 26-68 And Maxes At 314-337
Raiden Shogun is the vessel of Beelzebul, the current Electro Archon of Inazuma. Her weapon of choice is a polearm with standard normal, charged, and plunging attacks.

This buff will also attack whatever the player attacks with AoE Electro damage.
Her second attack, Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu, first sends a burst of Electro damage and then buffs Raiden Shogun with Musou Issen. This buff infuses all her normal attacks with Electro damage, increases her resistance to interruption, makes her immune to Electro-Charged reaction damage, and lasts until she leaves the field.
1 Yae Miko Starts At 26-69 And Maxes At 316-340
Yae Miko is the owner of the Yae Publishing House and also watches over the Grand Narukami Shrine. She wields a catalyst and all her normal, charged, and plunge attacks also deal Electro damage. Her elemental attack Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura calls forth up to three spirit foxes, or Sakura, made of Electro energy that periodically blast enemies with Electro bolts. If there are multiple Sakura, then the damage each does is boosted.
With her second attack, Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, Yae Miko unleashes a massive elemental burst that calls down multiple lightning strikes from the sky to deal large amounts of Electro Damage to the target enemy. If there are any Sesshou Sakura on the field, this attack transforms them into bolts of lightning that attack nearby enemies.
