A detailed roster of every playable character in the popular action RPG Genshin Impact has been made available, offering players a clear overview of the game's expanding cast. This resource includes each character's star rating, elemental alignment, weapon type, and when they were last featured on a limited-time character banner or were made available through other means.
The checklist aims to assist players in tracking their collected characters and in making informed decisions about future banner pulls. For characters available through the permanent Wanderlust Invocation Banner, this is noted. Characters unlocked through Archon Quests are marked as 'Free', with the exception of the Traveler who is available from the game's outset.
