Top 5 STRONGEST Teams in Genshin Impact (2025 Meta Breakdown)

Updated at: 5/28/2025

Genshin Impact

Despite the mixed reception of Nadland in Genshin Impact Version 5.x, there’s no denying that it has completely transformed the meta from a gameplay standpoint. With a new roster of characters that raise both the floor and ceiling for team compositions, 2025 has introduced some of the most powerful and meta-defining teams we’ve ever seen.

If you're looking to dominate the Spiral Abyss or push your Genshin strategy to the next level, here are the Top 5 Strongest Teams in Genshin Impact (2025 Edition), along with two honorable mentions.

Honorable Mentions

Chosa Hypercarry (Tri-Element Assimilation)

Core Units: Chosa, Mavika, Zeli + (Hydro/Electro unit like Fina or Auroran)
Chosa’s ability to fire multiple elemental shots makes her a one-woman elemental reaction army. With strong single-target damage, her main drawback is team-building complexity and lackluster AoE. Still, if you’ve got the right elements (and ideally C2 Chosa), she’s a boss-killing machine.

Kenishhan's Burning Squad

Core Units: Kenishhan, Emily, Mavika, Tonsen
A burn-focused powerhouse, this squad sets everything ablaze with incredible consistency. Emily and Kenishhan synergize to deliver high uptime and damage. The downside? Emily’s rarity and the team’s single-target orientation.

Top 5 Strongest Teams in Genshin Impact (2025)

1. Mavika Hypercarry (Pyro Archon Melt Build)

Core Team: Mavika, Zali, Bennon, Dianan
Why It’s OP:

  • Highest DPS ceiling in the game

  • Triple support + melt synergy

  • Healing and shielding included With no energy cost on her burst and massive vertical scaling, Mavika shatters floors in seconds. The only downside is slightly lower uptime—but who needs uptime when enemies die in two seconds?

2. Novellet Hypercarry (The Consistency King)

Core Team: Novellet, Verina, Kazaha, Shalon/Auroran/Salali
Why It’s OP:

  • Easy to play

  • High AoE coverage

  • Fantastic synergy with Hydro Archon
    While Novellet may not top DPS charts, his ease of use, flexibility, and extremely high floor make him a mainstay. His team continues to evolve with new supports like Shalon, pushing him even higher in viability.

3. Veressa Overload Carry

Core Team: Veressa, Mavika (off-field), Sherris, Yanson/Fina
Why It’s OP:

  • Near 100% uptime

  • Powerful overload damage

  • Highly flexible team options
    Veressa is Genshin’s definition of goofy and broken. With huge personal DPS and multiple viable supports, she’s both accessible and meta. If you like plunge attackers and anime archetypes, she’s your pick.

4. Arleino Hybrid Pyro Carry

Core Team Options:

  • Traditional: Arleino, Kazaha, Salali, Bennett

  • Overload: Arleino, Chevris, Bennon, Fishal/Yanson
    Why It’s OP:

  • Consistent uptime

  • Extremely flexible

  • Compatible with many archetypes
    Arleino blends the power of Mavika and the consistency of Novellet, making her a top-tier all-rounder. She’s easy to build around and doesn’t require much sacrifice when team-building for Abyss.

5. Milani Vaporize Nuke Team

Core Team: Milani, Mavika, Shalon, Sucrose/Kazaha/C2 Zali


Why It’s OP:

  • Huge front-loaded damage

  • Straightforward playstyle

  • High vaporize synergy Milani is a heavy-hitter that scales with HP and excels in one-tap burst damage. Pair her with Pyro appliers and buffers like Shalon for nuclear-level damage.

Meta Trends: Hypercarry Domination

Every team in the top seven is hypercarry-based. That’s no coincidence. Versions 4 and 5 have heavily favored raw personal DPS over traditional reaction-based play. While teams like Quickbloom, Freeze, or Taser can still clear content, they simply can’t match the sheer numbers that characters like Mavika, Veressa, and Milani can pump out.

That said, Genshin's endgame hasn't caught up to the power creep, so if you're happy with your current Abyss clears, there's no need to switch. But if you're looking to start a side project or future-proof your roster, these teams are your best bet.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a meta chaser or a casual Spiral Abyss clearer, 2025's team options are more versatile and powerful than ever. The influx of Nadland characters has pushed the game into a new era—and it’s never been a better time to experiment with new hypercarry builds.
