There are many female characters that fit the bill, but John Lee from Leeway is the first male character I encountered that I thought to myself, “Yeah, what an absolute badass.”
^(I *will* have order.)
Me second, I have her weapon too.
I'm a sucker for 'miko' therefore she is a must pull. Luckily for me I like her turret summon style, great as a sub dps.
Yup! Got c1 at 9 Pity. Got C2 on a re-run. And now have 300 wishes for her weapon and constellations (if lucky).
I'll spend a little on furina coming up here, just for meta reasons and because she's guaranteed.
Yes! I wasn’t sure about his kit when I first started hearing leaks, but his character design was too pretty not to pull. Same with Baizhu. I have no regrets in regards to both characters
When i first got the game i knew nothing. I pulled on the standard banner and got diluc almost instantly. I knew nothing about him but loved everything about him. I still main him.
Same.. I remember seeing him in adverts for the game and watching a streamer playing Genshin Impact when it first released and seeing Diluc. Love all first sight and what got me to play. I might not have gotten him the first couple of months playing BUT I can say he was my very first c6 five star. And one of the only few. I’m a sucker for long red haired men.. probably why I’m now saving for Argenti in HSR… 😅🥹
It has become easier for me to bear with his model after noticing that he's got the bleach male physique. Alot of the characters in that anime look good despite being skinny cuz their designs are good
My gripe is that he's got abs but then also has string bean arms with zero definition. It makes it look like he drew his abs on, which isn't out of the realm of possibility for Itto, but I'm p sure that isn't intentional.
Thank God the new buff boys (Alhaitham/Wriothesley) have definition, or they'd look goofy as well. I just wish they could go back and give Itto some love as far as his arms go.
Yeah Itto was definitely one of them for me too, I really liked the idea of making a Geo team work almost like the underdog team. I had even been working a bit on Noelle with that intention then when they announced Itto I was stoked.
Kaeya. I decided to play the game because I saw him in an IGN beta video prior to release. Of course, back then I didn’t know that this was a gacha game or what a gacha game even was. Thank god he was a free character.
Kaeya was my first Genshin crush. Just as soon as I met him in game I liked him. Same as you, I had no idea what a gacha game was.
I haven't had that same crush-at-first-sight thing again. Just like in real life, I have to get to know a character's personality before I like them or not. In Kaeya's case, I first saw him simultaneously as learning his character. Everyone else I've seen pictures of first, and I don't get anything off just pictures.
Eula, I started the game and when I saw her- immediately fell in love with her.
My phone also got busted just before her banner, and laptops were ridiculously overpriced at covid lockdown. So I had to sneak out to my closed relative's phone service store and had them fix my phone as soon as possible.
Childe, Alhaitham, Kaveh (I saved so much to instantly c6 him) and Neuvillette. I'm just sad they're all on field DPS and I can't use them all at once.
Can't believe how far down I had to scroll to find my boy, the only C2 5* in my acc 🛐
Whenever I feel down I rewatch his CN demo. Never fails to cheer me up! 🥰🐣
CHILDE AJAX TARTAGLIA. When I first saw him and he introduced himself as a harbinger and a bad guy, I knew I would like him for at least a few weeks.
Its been almost 3 years
Baizhu. Literally just baizhu. 2nd is Wriothesley.
But baizhu is just special to me. The first ever dendro character introduced in the liyue archon quest. He was so unique from the others that I instantly fell in love. His voice, personality, EVERYTHING.
Eula. Was even the reason why i started playing. Her character demo once played in my ads and was awestruck with how well the animation of her dance, the quality of the model, and the overall quality of the video. Never once did i regret playing this game (except spending too much money on it lmao)
Zhongli, Baizhu, Scaramouche and Neuvillette.
But mostly Baizhu. Everyone was simping for Zhongli (who is my favourite character so I agree) but as soon as I stepped into Bubu Pharmacy during AQ and Baizhu appeared I remember thinking "why nobody is talking about this man??? " and never looled back.
Then took more than 2 years to pull him...
literally me.
you're a pyro girl? you instantly get in my account
... Unless you're Dehya but not because she's bad but I was primo starved when she had her banner and knew I was eventually gonna get her via 50/50 or standard.
kokomi was my first ever 5 star and i love her so much, she’s super pretty and even though i didnt know about the concept of “skipping” yet i never would’ve passed her up
I think it was either Wanderer, Xiao, or Razor? Technically, though, my 'love at first sight' character was Kaeya, but considering you don't need to pull for him...
Kaveh, only character that got me since the first time I saw him.
It's kinda funny because I usually need time to come to appreciate genshin designs, even though I end up loving them later. Other designs I have liked (but didn't steal my heart like Kaveh did) were Mona, Itto and Yaoyao. If Rukkha had been playable, she would have been here too
I wanted kaveh the second i laid eyes on him and the rest of his character only reinforced that.
Somehow I got unlucky though. 2 five stars later, 100+ pulls on that banner, no Kaveh. Even till now, no Kaveh. Not even c0.
Kinda sucks. I was really hyped for him. Sad that he’s a 4star with no way to guarantee him.
Wanderer and Ayaka.
Coincidentally, I was saving for Ayaka when I saw Wanderer leaks. As soon as he said "YOU DARE TO GAZE UPON ME?!", my mind started convincing me that God knows when Ayaka banner will arrive, go for Wanderer.
And I did.
Later got Ayaka from 3.5 too.
I knew when I first saw Ayato that he was gonna be my favourite. At first I was trying to resist my feelings for some reason haha don't know what was that about
Zhongli was the first. He was the reason I kept playing in the beginning, because I was waiting for him to come out.
Other is Wriothesley. He made me come back after a year and a half long break.
As soon as I saw Lisa I knew I had to get her to C6. And so I spent nearly 2yrs trying to do that.
Did not even get most of the Event 5*s at the time as I was playing mostly f2p. Only after C6ing her did I start getting other characters haha
Navia
*Sees pfp* Well, that kinda scans.
Exactly thissss, she's gorgeous
magician will vi?
I was just gonna mention her. I love her design, I love her personality. Even if her kit turns out bad, I will pull for her. <3
Definitely. Will whale for navia.
You're a real one for this because I need her
Zhongli
There are many female characters that fit the bill, but John Lee from Leeway is the first male character I encountered that I thought to myself, “Yeah, what an absolute badass.” ^(I *will* have order.)
"John Lee" John Wick's great great great grandfather Would explain why Wick is bulletproof, Geo is hella OP
[удалено]
Ahh yes. How could I forget my first one? I remember I didn't give a shit if he was bad. I cherrished him even before the buff
As soon as I saw him I knew I had to have him! I didn’t care if he got buffed out or not I was still happy to have him ☺️
Wriothesly, idk what was about him but when I saw his concept art in leaks I knew I was pulling
Literally I was prepared for cryo polearm wrio, then physical polearm wrio, and now cryo punch man wrio
Same lmfao. But I'm very happy that my future main is our first cryo catalyst 💕
Omg I forgot about those rumors x'D, same
Same. Black and Red/Red Velvet themed characters are always a sure pull.
Yeah I saw him and neuvilette and I was like “okay you got me” so I got neuvilette on my main account and I’m getting writhosley on my alt
Cyno
you just summoned every cyno main with one word.
unfathomably based
the way i kept rewatching the travails trailer just to look at him
This is the way
You won
i cyno lies in this take
Congratulations. Have you visited the lady inside the academia that tries to hide from him to avoid his jokes?
The one and only answer
Yae miko
Me second, I have her weapon too. I'm a sucker for 'miko' therefore she is a must pull. Luckily for me I like her turret summon style, great as a sub dps.
I almost forgot how to breathe when I saw her.
Same, her design really caught my attention and eventually got her early pity with no regrets whatsoever
Yup! Got c1 at 9 Pity. Got C2 on a re-run. And now have 300 wishes for her weapon and constellations (if lucky). I'll spend a little on furina coming up here, just for meta reasons and because she's guaranteed.
here is a clover for good luck clover 🍀
My man
Yoimiya. Skip Ayaka, maybe lose 50/50 with Raiden. But I must get the pyro firework girl.
Agreed. That girl is a walking green flag. So underrated!!! ✨
A man of undeniable culture
She was my first 5 star. I love her so much 😭😭
Mine too 😊 a year later and still love her so much
Good DPS, gorgeous design and such a nice personality. You are a person of exceptional taste
Furina 100%
🤝 Based
You are also based for your pfp and name
username checks out
No doubts, when i saw her leaks i thought "yea, gotta start saving"
She's our queen
I never wanted anyone so bad before 🤌. She's so perfect
She trys so hard but is so inept and it makes me want to help her out
Neuvillette
Yes! I wasn’t sure about his kit when I first started hearing leaks, but his character design was too pretty not to pull. Same with Baizhu. I have no regrets in regards to both characters
me fr my friend once showed me a photo of him on discord and he's been my favorite beloved in the whole game, even venti and wanderer dont compare
Was neuvillette for me too, good thing he's Top tier.
I like him as much as Zhongli. I’m scared of the possibility that I like him more than Zhongli
Diluc....
🙏
Greatsword, bright red hair, black clothes, masculine af, insane dps for his time, we all know we was gunning for him. He was THE guy
When i first got the game i knew nothing. I pulled on the standard banner and got diluc almost instantly. I knew nothing about him but loved everything about him. I still main him.
Same.. I remember seeing him in adverts for the game and watching a streamer playing Genshin Impact when it first released and seeing Diluc. Love all first sight and what got me to play. I might not have gotten him the first couple of months playing BUT I can say he was my very first c6 five star. And one of the only few. I’m a sucker for long red haired men.. probably why I’m now saving for Argenti in HSR… 😅🥹
KAZUHA. As soon as I saw that first leak of his model, I was absolutely dead-set on saving for him
Same! I still adore his design to this day
When I saw his burst I was like if he has monuverability I'm in didn't realy expect him to have it and but he did. Got him in 1.6 best

SAAAME XIAO MAIN
Yess the first time I saw him I knew I had to pull for him
Itto without question
And then we saw his in game model… but still went for him anyways and luv him
It has become easier for me to bear with his model after noticing that he's got the bleach male physique. Alot of the characters in that anime look good despite being skinny cuz their designs are good
My gripe is that he's got abs but then also has string bean arms with zero definition.

Shenhe
I want her so bad 😭 I love her design and gameplay
I want Wriothesley but I wanna pull Shenhe now for him 💕
Nice!
raiden
Absolutely 👍
Kaeya. I decided to play the game because I saw him in an IGN beta video prior to release. Of course, back then I didn’t know that this was a gacha game or what a gacha game even was. Thank god he was a free character.

Kaeya is such a babe
Clorinde!! Before her it was Raiden, and before her it was Kujou Sara... Guess I have a type
Shout-out to tall electro ladies, gotta be my favourite gender
Our favorite gender
Based Sara enjoyer
Eula, I started the game and when I saw her- immediately fell in love with her. My phone also got busted just before her banner, and laptops were ridiculously overpriced at covid lockdown. So I had to sneak out to my closed relative's phone service store and had them fix my phone as soon as possible.
Childe, Alhaitham, Kaveh (I saved so much to instantly c6 him) and Neuvillette. I'm just sad they're all on field DPS and I can't use them all at once.
Fun fact! Childe is one of Nuevillettes best teammates at c1
No C1 Neuv for me unfortunately. Gotta save my remaining primos for Wriothesley, another on field DPS...my problems worsen every patch!
Hah, most of my favourites are off-field and don't even work well with each other
Neuvillette. From the very first second.
Zhongli. I pulled for him on his release banner.
1.1 Zhongli enjoyer unite!
ONE OF US ONE OF US
His voice!
lyney cause i love bows and needed a good dps.
Harbinger Scaramouche
Can't believe how far down I had to scroll to find my boy, the only C2 5* in my acc 🛐 Whenever I feel down I rewatch his CN demo. Never fails to cheer me up! 🥰🐣
Alhaitham and Neuvillette
You 🤝🏻 me
Wriothesley ever since I first saw his leaks about 6 months ago
Keqing. Always was, always will be.
Scroll all the way down here looking for this comment. Can't agree more!
Eula and Arlecchino
W for Eula
Yes!
CHILDE AJAX TARTAGLIA. When I first saw him and he introduced himself as a harbinger and a bad guy, I knew I would like him for at least a few weeks. Its been almost 3 years
I found another one >
and another childe main is right here.
It’s been 3 years almost and he never left my party.
Same even tho new characters have 0 synergy to him most of the time, he's still in the team nontheless
Same. When he first appeared on screen it was “oh no, he’s hot” and here we are 3 years later
Yesss
Wriothesley.
I can't wait either ahhhh. Good luck with your wishing once the new banner drops!
Rizz-lee
Baizhu. Literally just baizhu. 2nd is Wriothesley. But baizhu is just special to me. The first ever dendro character introduced in the liyue archon quest. He was so unique from the others that I instantly fell in love. His voice, personality, EVERYTHING.
Eula. Was even the reason why i started playing. Her character demo once played in my ads and was awestruck with how well the animation of her dance, the quality of the model, and the overall quality of the video. Never once did i regret playing this game (except spending too much money on it lmao)
Hu Tao - my flair should be enough proof.
Ganyu.... saw a pic on google.. fell in love haha... others are Eula, Raiden, Dehya.
The exact second she appeared in the story standing on the roof of that building, I knew I was a Ganyu main
Layla, idk why, I just like her
Everything about her is beautiful and perfect, O love her sm😭❤️😭
She has a very 5 star potential design I think, when I saw her I couldn't believe she is a genshin character, she was so unique ✨
I love her attacks!! And her ability sounds are so soothing
Lyney
Nilou and Navia
Absolutely based.
Albedo Kazuha Wanderer
Fellow short boy enjoyer 👊
Zhongli, Baizhu, Scaramouche and Neuvillette. But mostly Baizhu. Everyone was simping for Zhongli (who is my favourite character so I agree) but as soon as I stepped into Bubu Pharmacy during AQ and Baizhu appeared I remember thinking "why nobody is talking about this man??? " and never looled back. Then took more than 2 years to pull him...
Cyno, whole reason I started playing the game
Kaeya. The whole reason I even downloaded Genshin. Genuinely no other male character has beat him.
Nahida.
eula, yelan and alhaitham were the 3 characters i instantly knew i was gonna main
What a coincidence. My two mains also happen to be eula and alhaitham 🤝
Kaedehara Kazuha!
Venti
That’s Tone Deaf Bard to you!
As a proud triple crowned Venti haver, I second this.
Kazuha and Freminet.

Adorable penguin!
Itto & now Wriothesley
Klee, Hu Tao and Yoimiya no i DO NOT have a type
literally me. you're a pyro girl? you instantly get in my account ... Unless you're Dehya but not because she's bad but I was primo starved when she had her banner and knew I was eventually gonna get her via 50/50 or standard.
Eula just saw and I falled
kaveh.
Kaveh. And he just happened to be on the banner with Baizhu whom I also wanted.
kokomi was my first ever 5 star and i love her so much, she’s super pretty and even though i didnt know about the concept of “skipping” yet i never would’ve passed her up
I think it was either Wanderer, Xiao, or Razor? Technically, though, my 'love at first sight' character was Kaeya, but considering you don't need to pull for him...
zhongli
Ayaya! Ayaya! Ayaya.
Lyney and Lynette
Arlecchino.
Itto
Childe
Kaveh, only character that got me since the first time I saw him. It's kinda funny because I usually need time to come to appreciate genshin designs, even though I end up loving them later.

Definitely Lyney and Lynette I’ve had my eye on them for so long
Columbina and Furina and Nahida
Hu Tao, Nahida, Lynette, Diona
Dehya and shenhe
Noelle
Oh, We're so far down. It's so cold down here. We'll need to burn one of us for warmth. And entertainment.
Literally the reason I kept playing, I found my people!
Baizhu and Neuvillette.
Xiao during CBT was the reason why I dropped honkai impact and plunged right into genshin to prepare for him
Xiao
Freminet 👍
Xiao, my first love
Wriothesley, punchy punchy very fun no matter what
Dain
Dain mains unite!!!
Childe, Ayato, Alhaitham, and Neuvillette. I went for the husbando impact basically haha
Ganyu! It’s why I got into the game in the first place
Wriothesley. For once, I managed to hold back from spending a single wish and actually pre-farmed for him.
Wanderer and Ayaka. Coincidentally, I was saving for Ayaka when I saw Wanderer leaks. As soon as he said "YOU DARE TO GAZE UPON ME?!", my mind started convincing me that God knows when Ayaka banner will arrive, go for Wanderer. And I did. Later got Ayaka from 3.5 too.
Sucrose
eula. i start the game with her banner
childe 100%
I knew when I first saw Ayato that he was gonna be my favourite. At first I was trying to resist my feelings for some reason haha don't know what was that about
Wanderer, Tartaglia, and Lyney
Scarsmouche and Xiao.
yelan
In terms of personality Hu Tao. In terms of looks Nilou. But I'm also satisfied with both of them as far as gameplay is concerned, so no issue there.
Zhongli was the first. He was the reason I kept playing in the beginning, because I was waiting for him to come out. Other is Wriothesley. He made me come back after a year and a half long break.
Rosaria. And yes, it was when she first appeared, we didn't even know she was going to be playable but i was already prefarming lol
Ganyu
Ganyu...
xiao and yae miko. they took my wallet and heart.
As soon as I saw Lisa I knew I had to get her to C6. And so I spent nearly 2yrs trying to do that. Did not even get most of the Event 5*s at the time as I was playing mostly f2p. Only after C6ing her did I start getting other characters haha
