Top 10
Xiao

Posted on: February 2, 2021
Rarity: ★★★★★ Element: Anemo Weapon: Polearm
"All things are impermanent, and all existence is suffering. The grudges of ages past seem never to rest. Across millennia of tribulation, even as guilt scorches his heart and corrodes his bones, the ‘Yaksha’ vows to purge all calamity.
For the people of Liyue Harbor, when it comes to the enlightened Adepti living in Jueyunjian, one name stands out above the rest. When the festivals arrive, the people light incense and pray, asking for the protection of the Adepti. But they don't pray to Xiao.
By honoring his oath as a yaksha, one hopes that our fellow adeptus has now finally gained some respite from the grievances that have burdened him all these millennia." — Adeptus Streetward Rambler comments ruefully during a game of chess.
Though this was Mihoyo’s work from its earlier days, rooted deeply in its own cultural context and enhanced by the allure of immortal legends, the quality of Liyue-themed PVs was exceptionally high—hence the outstanding viewership they achieved. Xiao, as a Liyue character, is no exception. This character possesses a unique identity and traits, from his personality to his storied past, all leaving a deep impression. Through his own story, Xiao reveals a tale that makes us sigh with emotion. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that we can better grasp the profound significance of the land of Liyue."

Posted on: July 20, 2021

Views: 18,790,760
Posted on: June 28, 2021
Rarity: ★★★★★ Element: Anemo Weapon: Sword
"Amid towering peaks and drifting clouds, beneath skies of azure and waters serene—a perfect moment to weave poetry.
Yet alas, there are always those who remain blind to such elegance...
No matter. When the sword winds still, and autumn leaves dance mid-air, unwoven verses bloom—grace flows from the poet’s soul."
Kaedehara Kazuha is a playable Anemo character in Genshin Impact.

Raiden Shogun
Views: 20,277,497
Posted on: August 31, 2021
Rarity: ★★★★★ Element: Electro Weapon: Sword
「Once tender cherry blossoms now darkened to ink.
When thunder's growl fades into silence,
The dream of evanescence shall awaken.」
The Raiden Shogun is comprised of two beings in one body: Ei, the current Electro Archon of Inazuma; and the Shogun, the puppet created by Ei to act as the ruler of Inazuma in her stead.
Unseen in true understanding, yet scorning to be unveiled. Perhaps beyond that shadow who craves sweets, the Raiden Shogun remains mostly what she is—the solitary Archon of Thunder, proud and inscrutable. Even when misunderstood, even through extreme measures, she spared no effort to protect Inazuma, to safeguard all her sister left behind.

Posted on: August 23, 2022
Rarity: ★★★★★ Element: Dendro Weapon: Bow
Botanically speaking, fungi are not classified as plants.
Yet since foragers often gather mushrooms indiscriminately,
mycology became essential knowledge for forest rangers.
As for studying novel fungal species though...
best leave that to the Chief Officer with due respect.
Tighnari is a playable Dendro character in Genshin Impact. Tighnari is the stern Chief Officer of the Forest Rangers and Collei's mentor. Despite his intelligence, he prefers to live a solitary life in the depths of Avidya Forest rather than in the ivory tower of Sumeru Akademiya.

Posted on: May 17, 2021
Rarity: ★★★★★ Element: Cryo Weapon: Claymore
Scion of Rebellion, in a sinner's dance,
To shatter frost-forged shackles' chilling trance.
Flickering candleflame, on night's velvet stage,
Ignites the gleam of vengeance on her blade.

Zhongli

Posted on: Nov 30, 2020
Rarity: ★★★★★ Element: Geo Weapon: Polearm
After the curtain falls on "Tales of Liyue," the Listener stands before the landscape-painted screen, as if awaiting echoes of bygone days.
Yet the scenes on the screen remain silent—for they are memories of a distant past three thousand years ago.
"As the world teems with monsters and gods vying for dominion, though I seek no conquest, I cannot ignore the people's suffering."
This monologue from Zhongli's character demo—the most-watched trailer in Genshin Impact history—stands as a masterclass in storytelling. miHoYo's meticulous craft shines through every frame, from the PV's cinematic precision to Zhongli's multi-layered characterization. The staggering viewership gap (over 22 million plays and counting) isn't just a metric—it's testament to players' profound connection with this character and the nation of Liyue itself. Frankly, miHoYo's reverence for Chinese cultural heritage here isn't just accurate; it's alive in every brushstroke.
