Genshin Impact players have figured out who the game's tallest character is, based on characters' in-game models. Genshin Impact hasn't officially confirmed its characters' heights; however, astute fans have been able to deduce each character's height by scaling up from in-game measurements. Genshin Impact uses a limited number of character models for its characters, which is why so many of the game's playable characters are similar in height. For example, Sayu, Qiqi, Klee, and Diona, Genshin Impact's shortest characters, all use the same "short female" model.
There are currently 48 playable characters in Genshin Impact, including the Traveler, the game's playable protagonist. Genshin Impact often introduces new playable characters with each of the game's updates, with a new update released every six weeks. The upcoming update, Genshin Impact Version 2.7, has been delayed until May 31, 2022. In the meantime, Genshin Impact players will receive weekly compensation, including Primogems and Fragile Resin, until the 2.7 update is released.
According to the Genshin Impact Wiki, Genshin Impact's tallest character is Arataki Itto, standing at 193.4cm. Itto was added to Genshin Impact in December 2021 in the second half of the 2.3 update, Shadows Amidst Snowstorms. When he was added to the game, Itto overtook Zhongli, who previously held the title of tallest Genshin Impact character. Although both characters use the same "tall male" character model, Itto's shoes make him significantly taller. The measurements above are approximate, based on each character's in-game height. The measurements use each Genshin Impact's character's default skin including their shoes and hair, as there isn't currently a reliable way to figure out each character's height without them.
Who Is Genshin Impact's Tallest Character In 2022
Of the Genshin Impact characters that use the same "tall male" character model, Arataki Itto is the only one wearing shoes that give him additional height. There are seven characters currently using this model, with estimated heights ranging from 186.8 - 193.4cm. Presumably, all of these characters would be the exact same height without their accessories, due to their shared character model. Of the game's female playable characters, Kujou Sara is the tallest, with an estimated height of 178.1cm. Genshin Impact's Kujou Sara uses the "tall female" character model, which is used by ten different characters, with heights ranging from 172.5 - 178.1cm.
Genshin Impact uses a limited number of character models for its playable characters, explaining why so many of its characters are similar in height. Based on each character's in-game height, Arataki Itto is currently the tallest character in Genshin Impact. This could change in the future as Genshin Impact is continuously rolling out updates and introducing new characters, with the game's first Dendro characters expected to arrive soon alongside the release of Sumeru, Teyvat's Dendro region. Additionally, a new, taller character model could be added in the future that usurps all of the characters that use the current one, including Genshin Impact's Arataki Itto.
