Which Genshin Impact Characters Are Worth Leveling To 90?

To many Genshin Impact players, leveling up characters to the maximum level which is level 90 can seem quite expensive. This process requires a lot of Mora, ascension materials as well as boss drops.

While some characters may be deemed as not quite powerful at their max level, other units are definitely worth leveling to 90. Let’s take a look at Genshin Impact level 90 characters you should take into consideration for the most viable team.

1. Anemo characters
2. DEF-based characters
3. HP-based characters

1. Anemo characters

Anemo Genshin Impact Characters — These Anemo units are worth your efforts to take them to level 90.

Venti, Kaedehara Kazuha, Sucrose, Heizou, Xiao, Jean, Sayu, and Anemo Traveler are all ideal for leveling up to level 90.

The reason is the higher these characters’ level is, the more damage the Swirl reaction generates. However, Xiao is the only unit that does not depend on this feature. So it is up to the player if they want to level Xiao up to level 90 or not.

Furthermore, taking Wanderer up to 90/90 is a solid plan. With each level, the base attack gets a boost, ensuring he becomes a definite powerhouse compared to his current state. It's like unlocking a new level of strength and unleashing his full potential.

In case you do not want to level up every Anemo character, you can prioritize Venti. His crowd control ability combined with characters with AOE ability can significantly increase the whole ATK number (quadratic scaling).

You can base on this to build the famous Morgana team with Mona, Ganyu, Venti, and Diona. For those who have not known, Morgana is amongst the best teams to defeat Spiral Abyss and get full stars.

2. DEF-based characters

Itto Def — DEF-prioritized units are Genshin Impact level 90 characters you should invest on.

Arataki Itto, Gorou, Albedo, Noelle, Yun Jin, and Xinyan benefit from DEF and these Genshin Impact level 90 characters are totally worth farming for.

Support characters can be used in lots of situations. And Geo units fit well in teams that do not need a lot of reaction combos. Because Geo resonance is super strong in the game, you can easily put two Geo characters in many different teams, even if the main damage dealer uses a different element. Sometimes, you can just use Albedo by himself because he boosts Elemental Mastery, doesn't need tons of energy, and now does more powerful AOE damage.

For another instance, level 90 Noelle has her DEF at 798. Combined with weapons and artifacts, 7% of this DEF would equal thousands of DMG after you trigger Elemental Burst. Itto can also follow this pattern.

On another hand, Yun Jin buffs damage to teammates using defense, so level 90 not only helps Yun Jin herself but also supports the entire roster.

3. HP-based characters

Genshin Impact characters with skills improving alongside the maximum HP are also worth leveling up to 90.

Hu Tao has a very humble base Attack stat. But all of Hu Tao's talents have their eyes set on the maximum HP stat. And for those who have not known, her current HP falls below the halfway mark will give a boost to her talents.

Now, why bother with Attack scaling when HP scaling is the real MVP for Hu Tao? Her best weapon takes it up a notch by throwing in an additional multiplier based on HP. In the end, she emerges as one of the top-tier main DPS characters, rocking that killer HP/Pyro/Crit build.

The icing on the cake is, when you level Hu Tao up to level 90, the bonus to HP becomes more significant than the bonus to Attack. It is a tailor-made upgrade for her, fitting perfectly into her high-powered, high-HP playstyle.

Hu Taos Birthday — Hu Tao is one of the best Genshin Impact level 90 characters. Her prowess won't disappoint you.

For another example, Nilou at level 80 has a base HP of 14,117. As you level her up to 90, the number increases by 7% which is 15,185. This makes Nilou more powerful as she takes damage from enemies. It also strengthens her Bountiful Cores if you reach 30,000 HP. With each 1,000 HP, each Bountiful Core’s damage is 9% stronger.

Same as Nilou, you can also choose from Diona, Zhongli, Yelan, Kuki Shinobu, Barbara, and Kokomi if you’re wondering which Genshin characters are worth leveling to 90.

These characters will shield and heal better as they reach their highest level. However, if you are confident with your dodging skill or aspire to save EXP and Mora, they also work efficiently at level 80.

Ayato and Amber also need HP leveling as their attack power equals their HP.
