Collei

• Rarity: Four-star
• Weapon: Bow

The first four-star Dendro character featured in Genshin Impact is Collei. Introduced with the launch of Sumeru, she’s been a highly anticipated character since her first appearance in the official Genshin Impact manga series.

Collei is a Dendro archer who has a variety of weapons at her disposal, including her trusty bow, a boomerang, and an adorable cat doll. She specializes in AoE damage with both her Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill dealing widespread damage. Her Floral Brush skill releases a boomerang-style ring that deals Dendro damage to targets when it’s thrown and also as it returns, while her Elemental Burst, Trump-Card-Kitty, throws out her mechanical cat sidekick who deals AoE damage.

The four-star fighter follows in the footsteps of her mentor, Tighnari, in wielding the Dendro element, though she has distinct abilities compared to her master. Players can currently obtain Collei for free by completing the Graven Innocence event tutorial.

Kaveh

• Rarity: 4-star
• Weapon: Claymore

Kaveh was the architect behind the Palace of Alcazarzaray and roommate of fellow Dendro user Alhaitham. While Kaveh excels in Bloom-focused teams, he lacks the ability to damage opponents well with his Normal and Charged Attacks. Kaveh also requires a bunch of Energy, but has the capability of healing himself.

Kirara

• Rarity: 4-star
• Weapon: Sword

Kirara is the Gold Level Courier of Inazuma’s Komaniya Express. Despite being a 4-star character, she can effectively shield allies and damage enemies with her Elemental Burst. Kirara works well in Bloom-focused teams consisting of Kokomi, Nilou, and Nahida. This party composition allows her to create Bloom cores and shield incoming DMG.

Tighnari

• Rarirty: Five-star
• Weapon: Bow

Tighnari is the game’s first five-star Dendro user who was introduced alongside the Sumeru region. He’s the Avidya Forest Watcher and the lead ranger of the Dawson Rainforest who takes great pride in keeping the forest safe. He’s also the mentor of Collei.

Tighnari’s kit involves Dendro abilities that deal a lot of AoE damage, including a ranged Elemental Skill where he throws an object that debuffs enemies with the ‘Chaos’ effect. His Elemental Burst fires homing arrows that can ricochet onto additional targets which has the potential to deal a widespread amount of damage in just a single move.

Traveler (Dendro)

• Rarity: 5-star
• Weapon: Sword

Genshin Impact’s protagonist has gained another Elemental type by resonating with the Statue of the Seven in Sumeru. Dendro Traveler can provide great off-field damage, but there is a high cost for their Elemental Burst. They can act as the sub-DPS in Aggravate teams alongside Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, and Jean.

Alhaitham

• Rarity: 5-star
• Weapon: Sword

Alhaitham is a member of the Haravatat of the Sumeru Akademiya, in addition to being the Akademiya’s Scribe. Alhaitham is one of the best Dendro characters so far in Genshin Impact, ranking in the SS tier as a Main DPS.

He is incredible at dealing damage to both single and multiple enemies, quickly applying the Dendro element to them. Therefore, Alhaitham works well in Quickbloom teams alongside Nahida, Yelan, and Kuki Shinobu.

Nahida

• Rarity: 5-star
• Weapon: Catalyst

Nahida serves as the vessel for the Dendro Archon, Lesser Lord Kunali. Like Alhaitham, she is another must-have Dendro user for your team due to her Elemental Burst having wide AoE and excellent Dendro application. Nahida also provides a huge Elemental Mastery bonus for those within her Elemental Burst, meaning she excels alongside party members like Yelan, Raiden Shogun, and Zhongli.

Baizhu

• Rarity: 5-star
• Weapon: Catalyst

Baizhu had been one of the most anticipated Genshin Impact characters after initially appearing as an NPC early in the game. As the owner of Bubu Pharmacy and Qiqi’s guardian, Baizhu is no stranger to medicine.

With this in mind, Baizhu can effectively heal party members with his Elemental Skill in addition to creating shields with his Elemental Burst. However, Baizhu lacks in the damage department and can require a lot of Energy.

Yaoyao

• Rarity: 4-star
• Weapon: Polearm

Yaoyao is a 4-star Dendro Polearm user who comes from nearby Qingce Village. She is capable of providing off-field Dendro DMG while healing an active party member. However, her Elemental Skill does not heal off-field characters.

Yaoyao would be an effective addition to Spread teams alongside units like Alhaitham, Fischl, and Beidou. You could also swap out Alhaitham for Nahida and Beidou for Yae Miko.
