I. Top Base HP

The Base HP of Genshin Impact characters represents their survivability. Many characters have their output DMG rely on the HP scaling. Here are the strongest characters with the highest Base HP.

#1. Hu Tao

With a base HP stat of 1210/15552, Hu Tao is the best on-field DPS who perfectly benefits the HP scaling. When this Pyro DPS reaches level 90 and uses the Staff of Homa, she can deal tons of DMG to finish single bosses in the blink of an eye. Moreover, Hu Tao C6 is nearly unrivaled, especially when she pairs with Yelan or Xingqiu to trigger the Vaporize reaction.

#2. Nilou

The new character Nilou also has a high Base HP of 1182/15184. She soon became a preferred character in Bloom teams after her release. If you have got this character, use proper artifacts and weapons to build her HP.

#3. Jean

Jean is also a strong supporter with an amazing healing ability and a great buff for your party. Moreover, she also has HP scaling which is helpful for Genshin players who often use Jean as the main DPS.

Zhongli, Yelan, Ayato, and Kokomi are also in the top 10 strongest characters with high Base HP. They are followed by the new character Alhaitham and the most like character Kazuha.

II. Top Base DEF

Base DEF is also an important stat for on-field DPS who often gets more hits from enemies. Here are the three strongest characters with the highest Base DEF.

#1. Itto

Itto is a loud and proud leader of the Arataki Gang in Inazuma. This Geo character is the most powerful Geo DPS in Genshin Impact now. Moreover, his total DMG depends on his DEF. That's why you should focus on this stat when building Itto. His DEF will be converted to ATK when this character releases his elemental burst.

#2. Qiqi

Qiqi is often underestimated in Genshin Impact. In fact, she is a strong Cryo Sub-DPS whose ATK scaling and DEF value can produce tons of damage. The Ocean-Hued Clam is the best artifact to make Qiqi a powerful member of your team.

#3. Albedo

Albedo can play the role of a tanker in your team with his high base DEF. Both DEF and HP values benefit this Geo DPS, especially his elemental skill. Besides, Albedo can provide a solid shield by triggering the Crystallize reaction.

III. Top Base ATK

#1. Xiao

Xiao is the heaviest hitter in Genshin Impact, which may surprise many players. Though Xiao has the highest Base ATK, he has long CDs and great vulnerability due to karma. That's why Xiao is not the most picked character for the main DPS role.

#2. Eula

Physical attack is the main damage source of Eula. Her Physical DPS gameplay is hard to control and build in the current meta. But it may change a little when her best supporter - Mika is released in update 3.5.

#3. Ayaka

Ayaka is undeniably the strongest Cryo DPS character in Genshin Impact due to her high Base ATK. Moreover, the young lady of the Kamisato family is the most ideal character for the Frozen team thanks to her AoE elemental skill and burst.
