An interestingGenshin Impactpoll has revealed the most popular playable characters of 2024. Last year was very eventful forGenshin Impactplayers, as it introduced a wealth of new content, including the brand-new Natlan region and various parts of Fontaine.
As usual, the main focus of each update in 2024 was on new playable units, which does not come as a surprise considering thatGenshin Impactoperates on a gacha-based system. This means that the Limited Character Banner is the game’s primary source of revenue.
A Reddit user named Smart-Tale-4193 shared an intriguing chart revealing the most popular male and female characters in the game at the moment. The chart’s data was taken from HoYoverse’s official forum, HoYoLAB, and the characters were categorized into male and female groups. According to the chart, the overall most popular character is the Hydro user Neuvillette, who, despite officially arriving in 2023, managed to take the top spot on the list. Neuvillette, also known as the Hydro Sovereign, is widely regarded as one of the most powerfulDPS units in all ofGenshin Impact. Many fans believe Neuvillette has set new standards for what a five-star DPS unit should be capable of in the game. Some players have even managed to complete entire Spiral Abyss runs with only the Hydro dragon in their team composition.

Second place went to Neuvillette’s Fontaine colleague, Lady Furina, also known as the Hydro Archon. As a new Archon, the majority of Fontaine’s main storyline revolved around Lady Furina, and her Archon Quest is widely considered thebest storyline inGenshin Impactto date. Regarding Furina’s in-game performance, similar to Neuvillette, she excels in her primary role as a support character and is unmatched by any other Hydro user in this regard.
Unsurprisingly, the third most popular character in 2024 is the five-star Pyro user Arlecchino, who served as the main antagonist in the Fontaine storyline. Many fans are excited to see more of Arlecchino, as the events in Fontaine strongly suggest she will play a significant role inGenshin Impact’s future developments. Arlecchino also introduced theGenshin Impact’s Bond-of-Life effect, which is exclusive to a few Fontaine characters.
The fourth most popular five-star unit is another Archon, the Geo user Zhongli. Despite being released back in 2020, Liyue’s leader is still regarded as the most powerfulshielder inGenshin Impact. Zhongli remains a must-have pick for team compositions involving multiple Geo characters.
