In Genshin Impact, how much effort you invest in leveling up and building your support characters is a question that many players grapple with. To seek some enlightenment, a player posed this exact query, shedding light on their struggles with managing resources and time to balance their roster of DPS and support characters.

Summary:

  • The level of commitment to character building varies from player to player, ranging from max-level perfectionists to those settling for ‘good enough’ builds.
  • Characters with damage output and beneficial scaling are often candidates for higher level builds, while others prioritize survivability in the overworld and domains.
  • Some players use the character-building process as a calming diversion from the artifact grind, thus leading to a more extensive building.
  • A sense of ‘burnout’ from resource farming is apparent, with some players longing for a less exhausting process of character building.

Players’ Strategies

A range of build strategies from minimum approachable to no-holds-barred maxing out were shared. For instance, user xKindeadx admitted to leveling everything he intends to use to the maximum, 90 level – a sentiment echoed by Lightless427. fauzanmadkip revealed, all his sub DPS are at level 90 with various talent levels.

Attention to Specific Characters

Despite the vastness and diversity of roster in Genshin Impact, certain characters were highlighted more than others. Hudie_is shares that characters like Diona, Sucrose, Kazuha are all built up with decent stats and good ER. 9thdragonkitty points out Xiangling and Xingqiu are actually strong DPS contributors in their playstyle, clearly indicating the subjectivity involved in defining ‘support’.

A Deeper Look at The Community

In a comedic twist of self-awareness, users like reeeekin stated that they might be a ‘maniac’ for leveling everyone to the limit. While some players are content with their characters just being ‘good enough,’ others, like Chuck006 prefer getting characters good enough to survive in the overworld and then work on building another one.

Overall, there seems to be no one-size-fits-all rule to character building in Genshin Impact. Investing time and resources into characters does not solely rely on their role, but on individual player preference and appreciation of the character. Whether you’re going for a maxed-out team or more focused on playability and fun, it’s all part of the Genshin Impact journey.
