Genshin Impact is an open-world action role-playing game built around exploration, elemental combat, and a diverse roster of playable characters. Each character is aligned with one of seven elements and wields a Vision, a magical device that lets its bearer channel elemental energy in combat. As of April 2026, there are 113 playable characters in the game, each offering distinct playstyles, backstories and ties to Teyvat's culture. The current roster consists of 22 characters from Mondstadt, 22 from Liyue, 17 from Inazuma, 14 from Sumeru, 13 from Fontaine, 11 from Natlan, 1 from Snezhnaya and 9 from Nod-Krai. Four characters come from outside of Teyvat.
Genshin Impact uses a gacha system as its core business model. This means that most of the game's revenue comes from sales on time-limited character "banners" during which players can spend in-game currency for the chance to acquire characters. Through this, some characters such as Zhongli and the Raiden Shogun have earned massive amounts of money for developer HoYoverse. However, some characters faced criticism from players for issues like poor performance in combat and cultural misrepresentation.
