Undoubtedly, Genshin Impact boasts an excellent combat system.
The standout feature of the game created by miHoYo is none other than the elemental reactions, where players can continuously swap characters to unleash combo moves that optimize damage output.
However, alongside this, miHoYo has also created several characters considered the “most selfish” in Genshin Impact.
Simply put, when players have these characters on their team, they will almost never have the opportunity to swap characters in and out. Here are some examples.
Cyno
Cyno can be regarded as the most “selfish” character that Genshin Impact has created. The major issue with this character is likely the long duration of his elemental skill, which makes it nearly impossible for any other character to work well alongside Cyno.
Just this factor alone is enough to make Cyno the most selfish character in Genshin Impact, but there’s more to discuss. Similar to Razor, Cyno needs to be on the field for extended periods to “charge energy,” as his gear is usually optimized for DPS.
Xiao
Xiao is the strongest AoE Anemo unit in Genshin Impact. This character can shine the most when wearing the Yaksha mask and activating his elemental skill, gaining Anemo damage infused into his weapon. However, subsequent hits will deplete Xiao’s health, necessitating that players have a strong healing support character in their team.
Moreover, Xiao also requires a support character to “charge” energy. Additionally, given that he is Anemo, which leans towards support and has no reactions that amplify damage, Xiao can be quite selfish, occupying a lot of field time and requiring a team that can effectively cater to his needs.
Razor
Razor has almost no synergy with other characters. True to his origin and story, this character prefers to operate independently in all situations. Razor is one of the strongest DPS characters when the game was launched, capable of dealing significant basic attack damage. However, this also leads to some issues.
Like most selfish DPS units, switching Razor out while he is in his wolf form will nullify any previous buffs and render him completely ineffective for the next 20 seconds.
