While characters like Albedo and Scaramouche saw themselves rise up in this year’s Tumblr rankings, other characters experienced a drastic drop in popularity compared to 2021. The most dramatic tumble down the Tumblr rankings was for pyro character Yoimiya, with the Naganohara Fireworks owner slipping a whopping thirty-one places to close out the list at number 50. Several characters made their first appearance on the list this year, including Tighnari and Kamisato Ayato who both managed to make it into the top 15 most popular characters.

As Genshin Impact continues to grow in popularity at a rapid pace, drawing in new players with its unique setting, addictive gameplay, and distinctive characters, fans will continue to debate over which character is the best. With so many characters to choose from, each with their own distinct style and set of abilities, the one thing that most Genshin Impact players can agree on is that nearly any gamer will be able to find one that suits them just right.
