Geo characters are few in Genshin Impact and understandably so. Geo does not react with Anemo and the only reaction it has with the rest of the elements is that of Crystallize which gives you a temporary and weak shield. That said there are some good shielders among Geo and some DPS units that are devastating in mono-Geo teams.
Best 5 Geo Units in Genshin Impact
Below are the best 5 Geo units in Genshin Impact even though only one gets the spotlight. Geo units are known for their constructs and shields but Geo also boasts one of the strongest main-DPS in the game.
Zhongli
You cannot talk about Geo without talking about the Geo Archon Rex Lapis- or Zhongli himself. It’s funny to think how two people from a Funeral Parlor (Hu Tao) are some of the strongest characters in the game but here we are. He’s one of the best supports in the game. These are all the features that make Zhongli broken.
- He boasts the strongest shield in the game.
- His shield also has a low cooldown thus giving you almost 100% up-time.
- His kit can shred enemy resistances.
- His burst does nuke damage and also petrifies enemies thus giving a free-for-all DPS window.
- He can be used as a main DPS too.
- He scales off of HP.
Arataki Itto
Arataki Itto is the strongest Geo DPS. Even without a mono-Geo team to make him broken, Itto dishes out tons of damage with his E and Q. Below are all the things we like about him.
- Fun and easy gameplay.
- He requires low investment since he scales off of DEF.
- He shines in mono-geo teams which means you don’t have to worry about rotations and elemental reactions.
Albedo
Albedo is perhaps the only versatile Geo unit that can be used as DPS, sub-DPS, and even support. Both DPS and sub-DPS have their own individual builds but he’s still excellent support in both forms. Here’s what we love about him.
- His E skill gives him a platform to use as an elevator which can be used for various reasons.
- He supports teammates with his AoE skill which deals damage to enemies within it every time they take damage.
- He can be used as a burst DPS.
- His burst also buffs teammates with elemental mastery
- He also scales off of DEF.
Ningguang
Ningguang is the strongest 4-star single target DPS and for good reason. She’s earned the title of a “Machine Gun” for her damage-dealing abilities. Here’s what we love about her.
- She’s easy to use.
- Her kit deals with consistent single-target damage.
- Her shield from her E skill also blocks all projectiles which are ideal for a catalyst user.
Noelle
One of the most reliable units to have in the early game. She plays a versatile role in your party and will carry you till mid-game. Here are her best qualities.
- She’s a low investment unit due to her scaling off of DEF.
- Her best 4-star weapon is a free craftable one.
- She’s a shielder and a healer.
- She’s easy to use- spin-to-heal is her mantra.
- With a different build, she can also be used as a decent 4-star DPS.
Geo units are generally disliked and are only used by players who actually like the characters more than their kits and functionality. That said, all of the above will serve you well with reliable performance in their respective roles. They have strong and rather stubborn personalities but we all want someone to be a rock to rely on in our hard times.
