Emilie, Furina and Kinich in Genshin Impact

The latest data from the popular YSHelper app has revealed Spiral Abyss usage rates for Genshin Impact Version 5.6, giving players a glimpse into which characters are currently the best and dominating the current meta.

Using this data, some of the best characters in Genshin Impact currently are:

That said, it’s important to note that Spiral Abyss usage data is heavily influenced by enemy lineups and Abyss Blessings, which often favor certain elements or reaction types. With Floor 11 and 12 currently providing significant buffs to Cryo and Dendro-based teams. It’s always worth remembering that usage does not always equal viability. Useage also does not mean that 80% of players have Kinich! Just that 80% of players that have pulled him, used him.

Generally speaking, Kinich and Emilie would not normally rank this highly but with the current blessings and enemy lineups, they shine. The best characters tend to stand the test of time and consistently have high usage or have less relation to abyss blessings such as Furina, Mavuika, Bennett, Xilonen and Neuvillette.
