Top 5 most underrated 5-star characters in Genshin Impact

5-star characters are often the best ones in Genshin Impact, but some of them tend to fall off upon closer analysis.

That’s not to say that these 5-star characters aren’t viable. Far from it, actually. It’s just that a lot of Genshin Impact players are prioritizing efficiency and characters that are considered “meta.” Unfortunately for these characters, they’re not the most meta choice in most situations.

These 5-star characters will still perform excellently for casual players. Genshin Impact is an easy game (for the most part), so they won’t struggle if they like using one of these characters. If anything, these ones could be considered underrated in some aspects.



Five of the most underrated 5-star characters in Genshin Impact

#5 – Jean

As one can see in the graph under Keqing’s entry, Albedo also underperformed for his banner. It’s disappointing to see, as unlike Keqing, Albedo was only available for that banner. He has a cool personality that differentiates him from other male characters in the game, as well.

Plus, the whole Dragonspine arc was interesting to play through. Albedo also has an intriguing kit to utilize in Genshin Impact, although he is sadly not a top-tier character.

As far as 5-star Geo users go, Zhongli is king. They have completely different kits, but it’s hard to justify using Albedo in most teams when Zhongli is so splashable.

#2 – Qiqi
