In the vibrant world of Genshin Impact, Pyro characters bring a burst of warmth and energy. As we explore Teyvat, these fiery personalities become crucial for their high damage output and their elemental reactions. Pyro, being one of the seven elemental powers, can combine with other elements like Hydro, Electro, or Cryo to unleash devastating combos. These can turn the tide of battle.
As we engage with Genshin Impact’s lore and gameplay, we discover a variety of Pyro characters, each with unique abilities and weapons. They range from agile sword wielders to characters who command the raw power of claymores. Choosing the right Pyro character for your team depends on your playstyle. Whether it’s through high DPS or supporting roles, they are essential for conquering the game’s toughest challenges.
We take pride in our understanding of each Pyro character’s strengths and synergies. Our strategy includes placing them in teams where they can shine—some are stars in solo combat, while others augment their allies’ abilities. This versatility makes the Pyro elements a favorite among players. It comes with a responsibility to build them effectively for both new adventurers and veterans alike.

Overview of Pyro Characters in Genshin Impact
In Genshin Impact, Pyro characters are a fiery force to be reckoned with. We understand that each character brings unique abilities to the table, which, when paired with certain elements like Hydro or Cryo, can trigger elemental reactions such as Vaporize or Melt—essential for maximizing damage output in combat. The Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill of Pyro characters often revolve around area damage (AoE) or boosting ATK, making them ideal for the role of main DPS or sub-DPS in a team composition.
Among our current roster of Pyro characters, we have the Outrider Amber, the spirited Bennett, the formidable Diluc, the explosive Klee, the culinary expert Xiangling, the rock star Xinyan, the ghostly Hu Tao, the dutiful Thoma, the sharp-witted Yanfei, the fireworks master Yoimiya, and the recently arrived warrior Dehya. With the gazes of curiosity cast on Lyney, there’s always room for the anticipation of new Pyro characters.
To light the torches of our journey or deal heavy Pyro DMG, we rely on these characters, each with their distinct playstyle and story. Some, like Amber, may excel in ranged attacks and puzzles, while others, like Bennett, provide unparalleled support with his fantastic voyage and pyrotechnics.
| Name | Role | Specialty |
| Amber | Sub-DPS | Ranged Attacks, Puzzles |
| Bennett | Support | ATK Boost, Healing |
| Diluc | Main DPS | High AoE DMG |
| Klee | Main DPS | Burst Pyro DMG |
When discussing the best Pyro characters, subjective views come into play. However, objectively speaking, characters like Diluc and Klee often find themselves at the top due to their high damage output. Nevertheless, we always recommend players choose characters based on both strength and personal enjoyment.
Character Builds and Strategies
In Genshin Impact, mastering Pyro characters involves tactical builds and astute strategies. We ensure these characters reach their maximum potential through optimal gear, mastering their skills, and constructing cohesive teams.
Optimal Weapons and Artifacts
| Weapon Type | Recommended for Pyro DPS | Recommended for Pyro Support |
| Claymore | Wolf’s Gravestone | Serpent Spine |
| Sword | Blackcliff Longsword | Festering Desire |
| Polearm | Staff of Homa | Dragon’s Bane |
| Bow | Skyward Harp | The Stringless |
| Catalyst | Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds | Sacrificial Fragments |
Artifacts are pivotal. We pick sets that complement each character’s unique capability. For Pyro DPS like Diluc, sets bolstering Pyro damage bonus, such as the Crimson Witch of Flames, are ideal. Supports benefit more from the Noblesse Oblige set, amplifying their ability to enhance other teammates.
Talents and Constellations
Talents should be prioritized according to character role. For a main DPS, focus on their normal attack talent first, as this drives their damage output. Elemental skills and bursts should follow. Supports, however, often benefit more when their elemental burst talents are leveled up first, empowering their utility in team play.
For constellations, they unlock passive perks that can dramatically alter a character’s performance. Take Xiangling’s Pyronado extension provided by her C2 as a prime example—it’s a game-changer in extended fights.
Team Composition and Resonance
Understanding elemental resonance can significantly boost your team’s effectiveness. Fervent Flames, the Pyro resonance, increases attack by 25%. We combine Pyro with elements like Hydro, Cryo, or Electro to trigger powerful reactions like Vaporize, Melt, or Overloaded. We carefully construct our team compositions to optimize these synergies for peak performance against a variety of enemies.
Combat Tips and Elemental Synergies
Strategically utilizing Pyro characters necessitates mastering elemental reactions. For DPS units, incorporating Hydro allies can set up for Vaporize, multiplying Pyro damage. Oppositely, pairing with Cryo characters allows for Melt, again amplifying damage output. When facing shields, a Pyro character like Diluc becomes invaluable due to his high Pyro damage against Cryo shields.
Knowing when to deploy elemental skills and bursts ensures maximal damage. We use characters like Bennett as a support not just for his attack boost but also for his burst, which provides healing and a significant attack increase within its radius.
By tailoring our play style to exploit these elemental synergies, we strengthen our position against the various challenges Teyvat presents, ensuring an edge in battle.
Major Game Updates and Events

Regional Influence and Lore
In the world of Teyvat, each region’s unique story intertwines with its elements, shaping the culture and characters found within.
Influences from Mondstadt to Inazuma
The city of freedom, Mondstadt, is governed by the Anemo Archon and is the epitome of liberty and music, inspiring its people to live in harmony with the wind. Its Knights of Favonius uphold these values with pride. In contrast, the Geo element infuses Liyue with a sense of solidity and tradition, mirrored in its structures and the adepti who watch over it. Their culture deeply respects the cycles of commerce and nature, embodied by figures like the legal adviser Yanfei. Meanwhile, Inazuma, under the Electro Archon, struggles with the tension between tradition and revolution, evident in the dichotomy of its people’s obedience and the emerging resistance.
| Mondstadt | Liyue | Inazuma |
| Anemo Element & Knights of Favonius | Geo Element & Adepti | Electro Element & Internal Conflict |
| Music & Freedom | Commerce & Tradition | Tradition vs. Change |
| Wind-Infused Culture | Rock and Roll played at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor | Emerging Resistance Movements |
Character Backstories and Teyvat’s Culture
Our playable characters are not merely avatars; they are the soul of Teyvat’s vast lore. Each character embodies their region’s spirit, like Liyue’s Yanfei, who integrates the meticulous legal system into her identity. Going beyond the borders, Natlan, the land of the Pyro element overseen by the Pyro Archon Murata, promises a land filled with vibrant culture and volcanic intensity. One can anticipate characters born of this realm to be as fiery in spirit as they are powerful. Iansan, a character tied to the region, is expected to reflect this ardent disposition. Through each character’s story, we keenly observe the profound relationship between the elements and cultural identities in the regions of Teyvat.
| Sample Character | Region & Cultural Traits |
| Yanfei (Liyue) | Geo Element, Legal System Integration |
| Characters from Natlan | Pyro Element, Vibrant and Fiery Culture |
| Iansan (Anticipated) | Intense Spirit, Reflects Natlan’s Energy |
