Genshin Impact’s Electro characters are all about chaining together devasting attacks with their thunderous abilities. Many of them focus on carving up the battlefield with lots of damage. Here’s every Electro character in Genshin Impact — both currently released and upcoming.
Electro characters in Genshin Impact can prove extremely useful, creating powerful Elemental Reactions that quickly eliminate waves of enemies. These electrifying characters often shine with Hydro and Cryo allies, which makes them highly versatile to many team comps.
So, if you’re looking for an Electro character to round out your Genshin Impact team, we’ve got a list of each of them right here so you can make the right decision.
All Electro characters in Genshin Impact
- Beidou
- Clorinde
- Cyno
- Dori
- Fischl
- Keqing
- Kujou Sara
- Kuki Shinobu
- Lisa
- Raiden Shogun
- Razor
- Sethos
- Traveler (Electro)
- Yae Miko
Beidou
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Claymore
The captain of the Crux, Liyue’s most notorious armed crew, Beidou has a feisty attitude. She’s not one for politics — although she has a solid relationship with Ningguang on the Liyue Qixing — instead flexing her muscles upon her Alcor to do dirty work around Teyvat.
Beidou has some unique mechanics not many other Genshin Impact characters have, including a damage reflect on her Elemental Skill when timed right (Yun Jin also has this). When built well, she also boasts some of the game’s highest DPS thanks to her hard-hitting Burst.
Clorinde
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Sword
Clorinde will be featured during the first phase of the version 4.7 update from June 5, 2024, to June 25, 2024. She is excellent at applying Electro to opponents and can deal decent damage with her Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill. Clorinde’s self-healing ability also makes her stand out as a sustainable unit.
However, Clorinde’s Elemental Skill can be interrupted and requires a well-rounded team to become a formidable opponent.
Cyno
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Polearm
Cyno is a scholar from Sumeru Akademiya, which is an elite arcane arts and historical records institute. He is the leader of the Matra, a group of feared disciplinary officers who uphold Sumeru Akademiya’s wishes.
The 5-star Electro character isn’t just known for his high intelligence; in fact, Cyno is also incredibly renowned for his fearsome fighting style.
During combat, Cyno delivers a combination of devastating Polearm and AoE Electro-infused attacks, which deliver a shocking blow to all those who dare to get in his way.
Dori
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Claymore
Dori owns The Palace of Alcazarzaray and is a well-known merchant for her ability to obtain everything and anything. When she’s not busy peddling her wares, the 4-star Claymore character can be found searching for rare treasures to sell on the black market.
Dori excels as an off-field support, who deploys her lamp to assist allies on the battlefield. Not only does her Spirit-Warding Lamp fire off Electro attacks, but it can also continuously heal allies and regenerate Energy.
Fischl
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Bow
If you ask Fischl for her title, she’d say she’s the rather mysterious Prinzessin der Verurteilung — as part of her roleplay of sorts. Thankfully, she has her pet raven Oz to translate most of her eloquent and formal speech into more simple to understand terms.
Fischl dishes out a solid amount of damage by transforming into her night raven, Oz, who can attack enemies independently of the Electro character. If you chain together her Skill and Burst, you can keep practically 100% uptime on the raven, too, which is very handy, although you do need to be on field for it to be effective.
Keqing
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Sword
Keqing is the hard-working Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing, although she’s skeptical of the political order in the region surrounding Rex Lapis. She doesn’t give herself a break in an attempt to solve the region’s problems by herself, even if it works her to the bone.
She’s also a rather independent fighter in Genshin Impact, dashing around the battlefield at lightning speed with her Elemental Skill. Keqing also has one of the fastest attack speeds in the game, letting her melt enemies in a flash.
Kujou Sara
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Bow
Kujou Sara is the leader of the Tenryou Commission, fighting for the Raiden Shogun in her pursuit of eternity by pushing hard on Inazuma’s Vision Hunt Decree. This includes stealing Arataki Itto’s vision as part of the command, although Kazuha managed to evade her.

She thrives at buffing her Electro allies up, giving carries huge attack bonuses with her Elemental Skill and Burst. This also scales heavily based on constellations, making Kujou Sara worthwhile to build out if you have multiple copies of her.
Kuki Shinobu
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Sword
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Sword
As the Deputy Leader of the infamous Arataki Gang, Kuki Shinobu is certainly no stranger to the threats that inhabit the Inazuma region. In fact, the former shrine maiden is renowned for her supportive abilities, which can keep her allies from succumbing to a grizzly death.
Kuki is a great choice for those who want the added safety of a support without having to lose out on damage from picking traditional healers.
Lisa
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Catalyst
Lisa is one of the first characters you come across in Genshin Impact, and you can also recruit her for free in the game’s prologue. The Librarian of the Knights of Favonius has a deep knowledge of all things Mondstadt and Teyvat, hunting for it all in between her many naps.
She’s not an awfully strong character, although she can help chain together Elemental Reactions thanks to her rapidly applying Electro abilities.
Raiden Shogun
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Polearm
Raiden Shogun is the playable vessel of Inazuma’s Electro Archon, Beelzebul. Named Ei, she also has her own puppet named Baal, who handles daily affairs in the region while she meditates inside her own plane of existence.
The Polearm character is one of the best in Genshin Impact, chaining together huge amounts of Electro damage while also buffing her allies’ Elemental Burst damage. Thanks to her Elemental Burst, she can also recharge huge amounts of Electro as a battery for other allies.
Razor
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Claymore
Razor isn’t at home in human civilization in Teyvat. Instead, you can find him living among the wolves in Wolvendom, who raised him as a young child to become the stoic fighter he is today.
He defends his pack with fury, transforming into an Electro wolf of sorts with his Elemental Burst. His kit is all about dishing out the damage while he’s on the field (and not swapping), so be sure to drop all your buffs before swapping to Razor as he tears through enemies.
Sethos
- Rarity: 4-star
- Weapon: Bow
As a featured 4-star character on Clorinde’s debut banner, Sethos resonates well with teams focused on the Aggravate and Hyperbloom Elemental Reactions due to his kit scaling on Elemental Mastery. However, he requires a decent amount of Elemental Energy to perform Charged Shots and maintain damage with his Elemental Burst.
Traveler (Electro)
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Sword
Once you reach Inazuma, you can unlock the Electro element on either Aether (Male) or Lumine (Female) — Genshin Impact’s Traveler characters . It’s the third element in the Traveler’s evolution and can be swapped at a Statue of the Seven within the region’s borders.
The Electro-aligned Traveler differs from its Geo and Anemo counterparts, helping buff up allies’ Energy Recharge and Elemental Energy with Abundance Amulets dropping off their Elemental Skill. It also does the most damage out of the currently available Traveler types.
Yae Miko
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon: Catalyst
While Yae Miko’s release might not have been the most exciting, she is still the Head Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine. She has a big part in the main story of Genshin Impact, standing alongside Raiden Shogun throughout eternity.
On the battlefield, she can set up totems before hailing down the power of the gods to emit a massive lightning strike. She can also quickly apply Electro and charge other units’ energy up, making her a decent battery for the likes of Beidou.
That’s every Electro character in Genshin Impact that we know of — so far. We’ll be sure to update this as HoYoverse reveals more. For now, check out some of our other Genshin Impact guides:
