This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information.

Pyro is one of the first elements players get to know during their adventures in Teyvat. It is known that its Archon is Murata, who dominates the nation of Natlan. But until version 4.1 of Genshin Impact, there is little information about this element and its territory. Until this update, we only know that Natlan could be the next nation after Fontaine. Although it is unknown how the visions are granted to the people of Teyvat, a characteristic that Pyro users share is an enormous passion. An example would be Xinyan, who fights for her dream of becoming a renowned rock musician. If you’re a fan of this element, we have a list of the best Pyro characters in Genshin Impact.

The 5 Best Pyro Characters

Pyro is one of the most fun elements in Genshin Impact, so no wonder why people are always looking for the best character. With the explosive Overload reactions to some fun Melt team compositions, there’s a lot to do with these fiery characters. So, without further ado, let’s see who the best in the game is.

5. Naganohara Yoimiya

An extroverted young woman from Narukami Island who works with her father in his store, Naganohara Fireworks. Yoimiya spends her time creating the best fireworks and making the people around her happy to see them. She cares about the people around her; if someone is in trouble, she will not hesitate to help. Yoimiya is a skilled DPS archer, capable of applying Pyro to her enemies and a favorite for her colorful animations. Don’t get us wrong; the reason she is in fifth place is because many players find it problematic that she generates minor area damage.

4. Lyney

This magician debuted in version 4.0; Lyney won the hearts of many, along with his sister Lynette. He is a magnificent magician who will take every opportunity to amaze or flirt with the Traveler. Under his sleeve, he hides an extraordinary intelligence and other secrets. Like Yoimiya, Lyney is a DPS with colorful and funny skills. But he ranks higher because Lyney can do a lot of area damage to enemies with his unbeatable archer skills. Making him one of the best Pyro characters in Genshin Impact.

3. Hu Tao

The 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor possesses more than one talent that doesn’t involve funerals, such as poetry and even rapping. She is a very eccentric girl with a colorful personality and enjoys making friends. Many players love Hu Tao’s playstyle because, as a DPS polearm user, you will do vast amounts of damage. The only problem is balancing the fact that her damage is multiplied when Hu Tao’s health has low life and that Pyro characters always end up burning themselves.

2. Xiangling

One of the best 4-star characters in the game. This polearm user is so high on the list because she is not only a talented chef, along with her father, in their restaurant in Liyue Harbor. Xiangling is excellent for many different teams. With Guoba helping to apply Pyro or doing so with her ultimate, her gameplay is fun to do so many elemental reactions. The best thing is that you don’t need Xiangling to be always on the field; you can make many rotations according to her team composition.

1. Bennett

Or, as many call him, the real Pyro Archon. Although Bennett is haunted by bad luck, he always faces these unfortunate situations with a smile and unmatched kindness. Bennett is a 4-star sword user, so he is easy to get. He is considered one of the best Pyro characters, as his ultimate skill buffs and heals simultaneously. Many users often choose him when showcasing their builds and showing all the damage that team compositions can do. Up until now, any top team composition will have this Mondstadt resident.
