Support characters in Genshin Impact that you will regret missing! Exceptional abilities, those who miss out will feel regret.
Hello everyone, today we will discuss the topic of universal support in Genshin Impact. With the game now at version 5.5, the number of characters in teams has increased, leading to the saying, “Ironclad supports, flowing DPS.” It can be said that supports are indispensable in a high-output team, with different characters providing various attributes such as resistance reduction, damage increase, and healing to play their roles effectively.
The following four characters are the support characters that I believe you will regret missing after seeing so many characters. Each support is incredibly powerful.
01
First: Furina
Furina is a Hydro character from the Fontaine version, providing damage increase effects to the main DPS based on fluctuating health. Her skill can summon three Hydro rings that continuously apply Hydro and consume the health of all characters in the team. The damage from her elemental burst can be increased based on health changes, allowing Furina to deal higher damage.
Having a zero constellation Furina can already sweep through the world. However, Furina needs to be paired with healing characters, typically suited for characters like Charlotte, Baizhu, and Jean, who are group healers.
Moreover, Furina can switch between two forms: the black form focuses on damage, while the white form focuses on healing. Some netizens jokingly refer to her as “a moving seven-day statue.”

Second: Shinonome
Shinonome is a character from Natlan. As we all know, traditional Geo characters have been hard to evaluate positively, but her appearance has completely broken the limitations of traditional Geo teams. Shinonome primarily enters the Night Soul state through her elemental skill, reducing enemy elemental resistance based on the number of Fire, Water, Electro, and Cryo characters in the team. This design is quite bold, allowing her to flexibly enter many reaction teams, such as the water damage team with Nahida and Furina, and the melt reaction team with Pyro character Nahida, both performing excellently.
Now let’s talk about Shinonome’s constellation design:
Zero constellation is already a complete form, with excellent resistance reduction attributes, directly placing her in the T0 support category. The second constellation unlocks buffs for attack, health, and crit damage, comparable to a combination of Wanderer and Bennett. The sixth constellation is even more impressive, as the Night Soul state can be maintained indefinitely. However, for most average players, zero constellation is already quite sufficient. With this, Shinonome has become a highly versatile character.
03
Third: Zhongli
Zhongli’s shield has made him a character that players can operate without much thought. The shield’s strength is based on health, meaning Zhongli can focus solely on health attributes without needing other stats. With full five-star artifacts, he can easily reach 30,000 health while also providing full elemental resistance.
It can be said that Zhongli has not been outdated even in version 5.5, remaining a staple character in the Abyss, especially for some stationary DPS characters, where he is the only option.
04
Fourth: Yelan
Yelan can be considered a highly functional character. With Yelan’s high-frequency Hydro application skills, she perfectly fits into vaporize, electro-charged, and bloom reactions. Additionally, her damage increase effects are quite significant. Besides increasing damage, she also moves quickly in the open world. If paired with her signature weapon, her output capability is truly remarkable.
However, it is recommended to have at least one constellation for Yelan to release her skills more frequently, which significantly reduces the energy recharge pressure.
Conclusion:
The overall damage of the team really depends on the choice of support characters. The above are the four top-tier supports that I have introduced, covering core mechanisms such as shields, healing, resistance reduction, and elemental application, all of which can provide players with a great gaming experience.
