Playable characters are a key part of Genshin Impact, the open-world RPG from developer miHoYo. The ever-growing roster, though, means that characters will continue being added in future updates. For now, there are only five Electro users in the game.

With its lightning-based features, Electro is one of the many elements found in Genshin Impact, with an upcoming new region called Inazuma being completely centered on Electro. While it's likely that more Electro users will be added in a future update, especially since there are so few already, the current list of users includes: Fischl, Keqing, Beidou, Razor, and Lisa.

Electro users can be an important part of triggering some of the best Elemental Reactions, like Superconduct, Electro-Charged, and Overloaded. This means that Electro characters can be a vital part of team builds in Genshin Impact; however, some of these characters are definitely better than others.

Worst Genshin Impact Electro Character - Lisa

Lisa looks at the camera in Genshin Impact.

Lisa is one of the starter characters given to players near the beginning of Genshin Impact's main story. She's a Catalyst wielder and the Head Librarian for the Knights of Favonius. She may have the benefit of being one of the few free characters in the game, but even with Lisa's best character build, she's extremely weak and squishy. Her low defense means she dies frequently, and her combat abilities are equally unimpressive.

Genshin Impact Electro Characters Ranked #4 - Beidou

Beidou can be great for DPS, and she makes a great alternative Electro user for players who haven't pulled better damage dealers like Razor or Keqing. However, it's because she's outshined by almost every other Electro user in Genshin Impact that Beidou still ranks so low.

Genshin Impact Electro Characters Ranked #3 - Razor

Like Beidou, Razor carries around a huge claymore and excels in a DPS role. However, Razor's abilities are better than Beidou's, mostly due to his Lightning Fang Elemental Burst, which uses the Wolf Within to summon an Electro wolf to fight alongside him.

Outside of looking cool, this move is great for increasing Razor's damage output and ATK SPD stats. Razor's speed is already impressive, so this added bonus means his attacks are even more frequent. However, he lacks some of the powerful AoEs that Fischl and Keqing possess, making him one of the mid-tier Electro characters.

Genshin Impact Electro Characters Ranked #2 - Keqing

Keqing wields a purple sword in Genshin Impact.

Both Keqing and Fischl are incredibly powerful, and how players rank them may just come down to personal preference. Keqing's Stellar Restoration Elemental Skill and Starward Sword Elemental Burst both trigger AoEs, which are excellent for taking down multiple enemies at once. However, she's a melee fighter and lacks Fischl's Oz for constant Electro DMG, which is why Fischl edges out the top spot.

Best Genshin Impact Electro Character - Fischl

Like Keqing, Fischl has several AoEs which can hit multiple enemies at once. She also uses bows in combat, which means she can snipe at foes from afar rather than up close to take more damage like Keqing. Her ability to summon Oz, her Electro raven, means that the Electro output is steadier than with Keqing, which can be important for triggering Superconduct or Overloaded. Because of this, Fischl is the best Electro character in Genshin Impact right now.

Of course, future updates will surely bring in more Electro users eventually, and character buffs and debuffs can occur over time, so these rankings may change. For now, though, these are the Electro users in Genshin Impact, ranked from worst to best.
