Fontaine is the newest nation to join the Genshin Impact map. Ever since this grand update, new characters have also been introduced. Besides Navia who is the newest 5-star Geo character that appeared in version 4.3, Chevreuse will be the brand new 4-star unit for update 4.3's second phase.
Before later releases for update 4.4 until update 4.7, are you curious about who are the most popular characters in Genshin Impact 4.3? See the list below!
Most popular characters in Genshin Impact until update 4.3
A Reddit user recently shared survey results unveiling the current favorite characters in Genshin Impact community.
Out of nearly 3 thousand responses, top favorite units have been chosen based on the ratings (out of 10) players have given.
Who is the most popular Genshin Impact character until version 4.3? The standout character currently is Furina, the Hydro Archon introduced in the Fontaine arc. Regarding this, fans have argued that Genshin Impact's Archon Quests continue to improve with each new region. And Lady Furina, also known as Focalors, has gained immense popularity due to her interesting character development throughout the game.
Furina's appeal extends further as she is widely regarded as the best Hydro support in the game right now. Players can use her kit in versatile ways, supporting various team comps.
The second rank belongs to Neuvillette, another Hydro user from Fontaine. Serving as the Chief Justice of Fontaine, he holds a significant position in the Hydro nation. The official storyline confirms Neuvillette's status as one of the Seven Sovereigns, the most potent elemental dragons in Teyvat.
Moreover, the recently introduced Geo five-star DPS Navia took the 3rd spot. This came as a surprise to some fans. Since her first appearance back in Fontaine's first trailer, there has been a lot of hype around Navia, especially since her design indicated that she would be the first Geo user to join the Genshin Impact roster in a very long time.
Top 4 and 5 are two powerful characters, Nahida and Zhongli. The list proves that over time, the hype for the Dendro and Geo Gods is still over the chart.
Fans also complimented Yoimiya as she entered the top 6. She even surpassed other top-favorite characters like Kazuha or Yelan.
Top 30 most popular characters until Genshin Impact 4.3
Many comments highlighted the influence of recency bias in shaping the poll outcomes. Several users noted that the recent release of Fontaine characters, such as Navia, significantly impacted their high rankings.
Characters who have yet arrived like Xianyun or Clorinde also made it to high rankings. However, it is understandable as most players will choose their favorite characters for Spiral Abyss every time this "popular" question is asked.
Although the favoritism always changes, you can still take a look at the remaining 20 names in the list of most popular characters in Genshin Impact 4.3 below:
