Discover the best DPS characters in genshin impact, including Eula, Diluc, Ganyu, and Klee, with recommended weapons and artifact sets.

This guide covers the best DPS characters in genshin impact, detailing their strengths and recommended builds.

Eula is a Cryo-based Claymore user who attacks faster than other Claymore users, significantly increasing her DPS. Her Elemental Skill reduces enemies' physical resistance, further boosting her DPS. Her Elemental Burst provides fantastic AOE damage. With the correct build, she is one of the top DPS characters.

Recommended Weapon for Eula:

• Song of Broken Pines: Increases ATK by 20%. On hit, attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ ATK by 40% for 12s (can only occur once every 30s). Rebel’s Banner Hymn effect increases ATK by 16%, and Normal or Charged Attacks hitting opponents grant a Sigil of Whispers (triggerable once every 0.3s). Four Sigils of Whispers consumed grant the “Millennial Movement: Banner-Hymn” effect for 12s, increasing Normal ATK SPD by 12% and ATK by 20%. Sigils cannot be gained for 20s after triggering. Buffs of the same type do not stack.

Recommended Artifact Sets for Eula:

• Pale Flame (2 Piece): Physical DMG +25%.
• Pale Flame (4 Piece): When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, ATK is increased by 9% for 7s (stacks up to 2 times, triggerable once every 0.3s). Once 2 stacks are reached, the 2-set effect is increased by 100%.
• Bloodstained Chivalry (2 Piece): Physical DMG +25%.
• Bloodstained Chivalry (4 Piece): After defeating an opponent, increases Charged Attack DMG by 50% and reduces its Stamina cost to 0 for 10s. Also triggers with wild animals.

Diluc is arguably the strongest DPS in the game due to his low cooldowns, allowing frequent use of his Elemental Skill: Searing Onslaught and Elemental Burst: Dawn, which deal major damage quickly. His stats also have high ratios.

Recommended Weapon for Diluc:

• Wolf’s Gravestone: Increases ATK by 20%. On hit, attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ ATK by 40% for 12s (can only occur once every 30s).

Recommended Artifact Sets for Diluc:

• Gladiator’s Finale (2 Piece): ATK +18%.
• Gladiator’s Finale (4 Piece): If the wielder uses a Sword, Claymore, or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%.
• Crimson Witch of Flames (2 Piece): Pyro DMG Bonus +15%.
• Crimson Witch of Flames (4 Piece): Increases Overloaded and Burning DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Skill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s (max 3 stacks).

Ganyu is another top-tier DPS character. She is a bow user with a unique charged attack that splits into three projectiles, dealing AoE damage. If the first attack CRITs, the other projectiles also CRIT. Her Burst rains down icicles for Cryo damage. Her high CRIT ratios make her a top-tier DPS.

Recommended Weapon for Ganyu:

• Amos Bow: ATK is increased by 20%. Triggers on taking DMG: the soul of the Falcon of the West awakens, holding the banner of the resistance aloft, regenerating HP equal to 100% of ATK and dealing 200% of ATK as DMG to surrounding enemies. This effect can only occur once every 15s.

Recommended Artifact Sets for Ganyu:

• Wanderer’s Troupe (2 Piece): Elemental Mastery +80.
• Wanderer’s Troupe (4 Piece): Increases Charged Attack DMG by 35% if the character uses a Catalyst or Bow.
• Glacier and Snowfield (2 Piece): Cryo DMG +15%.
• Glacier and Snowfield (4 Piece): Increases Superconduct DMG by 100%. Increases Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Burst increases Cryo DMG Bonus by 30% for 10s.

Klee is extremely powerful and one of the best for a DPS slot, though her Elemental Skill cooldown and reaction reliability slightly lower her tier compared to Diluc.

Recommended Weapon for Klee:

• Skyward Atlas: Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 12%. Normal Attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the favor of the clouds, which actively seek out nearby enemies to attack for 15s, dealing 160% ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 30s.

Recommended Artifact Sets for Klee:

• Gladiator’s Finale (2 Piece): ATK +18%.
• Gladiator’s Finale (4 Piece): If the wielder uses a Sword, Claymore, or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%.

• Crimson Witch of Flames (4 Piece): Increases Overloaded and Burning DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Skill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s.
