Genshin Impact 6th Anniversary Free Limited 5-Star Selector Guide – Who To Pick

Genshin Impact 6th Anniversary Free Limited 5-Star Selector – Best Characters To Pick

How To Get The Free 6th Anniversary Free Limited 5-Star Character

To celebrate the 6th Anniversary Update for Genshin Impact during the 7.1 Update Patch, a special limited time event will be available for the players only during the update patch, allowing players to gain a special Limited 5-Star Character after clearing the 7.1 Main Story Quest only during the version update patch.

For the 6th anniversary Limited 5-Star Character selector, players will be able to choose 1 Limited 5-Star Character among 6 options to add them to your roster. The selections includes: the 5-Star Hydro Character Tartaglia, The 5-Star Dendro Character Baizhu, The 5-Star Geo Character Chiori, the 5-Star Hydro Character Nilou, the 5-Star Electro Character Clorinde and the 5-Star Electro Character Varesa.

Tartaglia

Tartaglia is a 5-Star Character of the Hydro element and wields a bow as his weapon. He specializes in switching between 2 different modes to either shoot at enemies with his hydro arrows to inflict Riptide onto enemies or switches to his melee stance to constantly attack enemies with his Hydro infused Normal Attacks to activate the Riptide effects on enemies.

Tartaglia’s main damage and gimmick lies in the ability to inflict and detonate Riptide, which can deal multiple instances of Hydro damage to enemies when they are detonated against multiple enemies, creating a powerful chain reaction when Tartaglia is fighting hordes of enemies. Coupled with Tartaglia’s overall AoE Ultimate and skill kit, it makes him excel at dealing with small enemies in large numbers.

Pick Rating: 3/10. An Unfortunately Flawed Character

As one of the earliest released 5-Star Limited Character, Tartaglia is very unfortunately held back by his generally too simple skill kit and his old damage modifiers and numbers, making it not worth picking and investing in him as he will deal less damage overall when compared to a more modern Hydro Main DPS option. 

Baizhu

Baizhu is a 5-Star Character of the Dendro Element that wields a Catalyst as his main weapon. He specializes in providing the entire team with shielding and healing while also applying Dendro Marks onto enemies when he is off-field.

Baizhu’s role and skill kit is extremely simple: he shields the active character and he heals a lot. This makes him one of the game’s very newbie and F2P-friendly character, capable of providing the team with a source of Dendro Mark while protecting the entire team with effective shielding and healing. Additionally, when his shield is active, Baizhu also provide the team with a boost in Dendro-related Elemental Reaction damage, which help to boost the team’s damage output.

Pick Rating: 7/10. A Very Simple But Effective Sustain Choice

As mentioned, Baizhu’s simple but effective skill kit makes him a very good choice for new players who are in need of a good sustain character. Additionally, even for endgame contents, Baizhu still proves to be a very effective and easy to use sustain character for players to consider picking and investing in, especially now that there are more contents that require healing in the game.

Chiori

Chiori is a 5-Star Character of the Geo Element that wields a sword as her main weapon. She specializes in boosting the damage of Geo Characters with her Geo Construct dolls, allowing them to deal Geo damage to enemies together with the active character. 

Chiori’s main gimmick lies in her ability to create Geo Construct dolls onto the field based on how many Geo Constructs there are. Upon summoning them, Chiori can either switch out to another character, allowing the dolls to attack alongside the active character to generate Crystalized Shards whenever they attack enemies or infused her own normal attacks with Geo, turning her into an on-field Geo DPS with the help of her dolls attacking alongside her.

Pick Rating: 3/10. Another Unfortunately Flawed Character

In theory, Chiori’s skill kit and abilities have everything that makes a good sub DPS/ Support character for the team: off-field damage, constant elemental marks, quick swap effect. However, due to Chiori’s element being Geo, it is very difficult for the players to make use of her effects to the fullest due to how rigid and restrictive the Elemental Reactions for Geo truly are. This coupled with the fact that Chiori herself has her own trouble with damage and skill rotation, and it makes Chiori not worth picking and investing in for this selector.

Nilou

Nilou is a 5-Star character of the Hydro element and wields a sword as her main weapon. She specializes in converting Dendro Cores into Bountiful Dendro Cores, allowing them to explodes faster, deal more damage to both the team and enemies and help to boost the team’s Bloom Reaction damage.

Nilou’s skill kit and abilities revolves mainly around her ability to dance. Upon using her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, Nilou can inflict a special mark on enemies and create a Hydro ring that constantly applies the Hydro Mark when in contact with enemies. When Dendro is applied to the enemies and the Bloom elemental reaction occurs, instead of the usual Dendro Cores, Bountiful Dendro Cores will instead be generate, dealing more Dendro damage to enemies and explodes way faster, allowing a chain Dendro reactions that deal constant elemental damage to enemies.

Pick Rating: 8/10. A Still Relevant and Frequently Used Character In The Meta

Despite her lower overall usage due to the emergence of Lunar Elemental Reactions, Nilou’s team is still performing relatively well thanks to the existence of Nahida and Lauma, with Lauma helping to enable Nilou to do Lunar-Bloom reaction damage. Nilou can generally serve as an alternative for Columbina in some cases if players do not have Columbina or can even be in the same team as both Lauma and Columbina to help facilitate the Lunar-Bloom playstyle.

Clorinde

Clorinde is a 5-Star Character of the Electro Element that wields a sword as her main weapon. She specializes in dealing quick and successive Electro damage to enemies on the battlefield while enhancing her damage output by imposing the Bond of Life debuff on herself.

Clorinde’s skill kit revolves around imposing the Bond of Life debuff on herself, preventing her to be healed by other allies in exchange for being able to infuse her normal attacks with Electro and enhancing her damage output when using her Elemental Skill. Once under this state, Clorinde is able to constantly bombard enemies with Electro attacks, dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies and constantly triggering Electro-related reactions to deal additional damage.

Pick Rating: 6/10. A DPS Character that Needs Heavy Investments

Clorinde’s overall skill kit and playstyle is not much of a problem, as her own abilities can off-set her Bond of Life Drawbacks by healing herself, allowing her to even run a 3 buffer team since she herself doesn’t need a sustain character. However, Clorinde’s damage rotation is extremely strict and requires a lot of good investment in order to keep up with more easy to use Electro options like Flins. Therefore, if players want to pick her, be prepared to invest fully into her and her teammates if you want to make her effective in endgame contents.

Varesa

Varesa is a 5-Star Character of the Electro Element and wields a catalyst as her main weapon. She specializes in generating Nightsoul energy for herself and spends them to perform powerful Electro-infused Plunging Attacks, dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies in the process.

Varesa’s skill kit is very simple: whenever she uses her Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, Varesa will generate a set amount of Nightsoul for herself and is able to enhance her normal attacks. Upon using her normal attacks in this state, Varesa will instead perform a plunging attack, dealing massive amounts of Electro damage to enemies in a wide area and spending a set amount of Nightsoul energy. The more plunging attacks she does, the more damage she does and the more powerful she becomes.

Pick Rating: 9/10. A Very Simple But Effective DPS Character

Out of all the options in the selector, Varesa is the latest character players can pick and it really shows, as she is perhaps the best option in the selector. Not only is Varesa’s skill kit and abilities extremely easy to get used to, making her very newbie and F2P friendly, she can also deal amazing damage on her own and when buffed up by other characters in the team, allowing to clear a lot of the game’s endgame contents with relative ease. These two factors make her own of the better DPS options that players can consider getting from this selector.
