Players have fallen in love with Genshin Impact, not only because the open-world gameplay is fun, but because of the unique, interesting characters that they come across during their adventure. Players can unlock characters through Wishes, the game's loot box system, and through some special timed events. These characters all have a specific element assigned to them: Pyro, Hydro, Geo, Cryo, Anemo, and Electro.
These elements can combine attacks, should they be complementary to each other, in order to boost the damage to enemies. When players are choosing their team of four characters, there are a lot of Pyro characters to choose from. It is easily the most plentiful of the elements. Players can upgrade each character through Ascension levels which increase their stats and unlock Talents that can add buffs to battle or item management.
