Genshin Impactboasts a world that combines many cultures, giving its players an experience unparalleled by any other game. With each region having its own stories to experience, things to learn, and characters to meet, each new place you go to has itsown distinct identityfor you to explore.
Natlan is a nation of war, yet it’s more peaceful than you may expect. It has a cast of extremely fun characters who dance, swim, bungee jump, and even race on motorbikes. With such a colorful bunch of warriors, there will be those who are better than others. Here’s every Natlan character, ranked by their strength and how useful they can be!
7Kachina
Being Natlan’s first character, Kachina was who introduced us to the region. She’s a four-star Geo support that you can get for free upon completing Natlan’s introductory quest. Despite her meekness and insecure nature, Kachina is one of Natlan’s strongest warriors, beating even Mualani to secure her place in the Night Warden Wars.
If you’re only using Kachina for the Cinder City buff, she doesn’t need to be built; Kachina can work just fine even with level-one talents.
As a playable character, Kachina isn’t exactly the best. She’s supposed to be a support but doesn’t have anything that a good supportive unit needs, instead opting for a kit that revolves around off-field damage. However, Kachina still has access to theScroll of the Hero of Cinder City artifact set, which lets her compete with many other strong buffers.
6Ororon
For a person with only half a soul, Ororon has captured the hearts of many, both with his personality and gameplay. As a Natlan support, Ororon has access to the Cinder City artifact set, the same as Kachina. Unlike Kachina, though, he brings a lot else to the table.
Ororon is made withElectro-Charged teamsin mind, having a passive that deals damage whenever Electro-Charged is triggered. This damage also happens with any Nightsoul damage, so Natlan characters who cannot use Electro-Charged can still make use of Ororon. Apart from just dealing damage, Ororon’s main utility comes in the form of Energy Batterying, which he’s one of the strongest in the game at.
5Kinich
Kinich belongs to the Scions of the Canopy and represents them well with his reliance on hooks and complex maneuvers. Paired with his best friend/enemy/local trapped ancient dragon, Ajax, Kinich zooms across the battlefield, giving enemies a taste of big bursts of pixelated damage.
Most of Kinich’s damage is locked to his Elemental Skill instead of his Burst. This makes him easy to build since you don’t need to focus on Energy Recharge.
As a DPS, Kinich is both strong and straightforward. He doesn’t rely on premier teammates to enable him, needing just a Pyro unit to activate his passive. So long as you may trigger Burning or Burgeon often enough, Kinich and Ajax canconsistently deal upward of 200k damageon each enhanced E, even at F2P investments.
4Mualani
Mualani shares many things with Neuvillette, one ofGenshin’s strongest hypercarries. She’s a Hydro catalyst user who scales off of HP and has an Elemental Skill that results in a special state for her. While in this state, Mualani rides her trusty shark balloon friend and canoutput tons of damagewith her enhanced Normal Attacks.
She’s both extremely fun and super strong, things that aren’t always true for Genshin hypercarries. Furthermore, she enables certain team archetypes that didn’t have a dedicated Hypercarry before, namely Forward Vaporize teams.
3Citlali
Citlali is a character released alongside the Pyro Archon, Mavuika. However, despite Mavuika being one of Genshin’s best hypercarries, Citlali didn’t let this overshadow her in the slightest, giving the Archon herself a run for her Primogems.
Citlali is a premier support unit with a Cryo vision. Instead of buffing Cryo, Citlali specializes in buffing Cryo reactions such as Melt and Freeze for other elements, these being Pyro and Cryo. For teams that can make use of her, Citlali is a buffer at the same level as Xilonen and Kazuha, being a character needed for most top-performing Freeze/Melt teams.
2Mavuika
No region iscomplete without its Archon, and with Naltan being one of Genshin Impact’s best regions, it’s no surprise that Mavuika is one of Genshin’s strongest units as well. Where other Archons take a more supportive and utility-based role, Mavuika instead leads her team from the front on her flying, blazing motorbike.
As a hyper carry, she’s easily as good as other top-tiers like Neuvillette and Arlecchino, being even better if given her best teams. However, she does havesome conditionsbefore she gets to be the strongest, namely, having to use strong Natlan teammates.
1Xilonen
For a character to be deemed stronger than its nation’s Archon itself, they have to bring something not many others can replicate. For Xilonen, this ends up being the strongest Elemental RES shred debuff that a character has in the game, her 36 percent being barely below Viridescent Venerer’s 40 percent.
Xilonen’s RES shred stacks with Viridescent Venerer’s. For this reason, instead of choosing between Kazuha and Xilonen, you’re able to put both of them together.
That’s not all that Xilonen provides, though, as she has access to the Hero of Cinder City set as well, granting even more DMG Bonuses to your team on top of the RES shred. All of this, and she still has an Elemental Burst that heals, making her a splendid Furina teammate. With such a loaded kit, Xilonen has quickly climbed the Genshin Impact meta ranks and found home in every hypercarry team, and it seems she’s here to stay.
