Genshin Impact: All Hydro Characters (Updated October 2022)

Water is one of the classical elements along with Fire, Earth, and Air. This element is often associated with emotion and intuition.

In most video games, having powers related to water also means having powers that heal and support. However, this classical element can also be used offensively. Although mild and calm, it can also be swift and razor sharp, and is therefore dangerous, especially to those who underestimate it.

As the Oceanid of Qingce in Genshin Impact said, “One who is ignorant of water’s treasures fails also to comprehend its horrors.”

Moreover, the power of water is used by those who are blessed with the Hydro Vision. In this list, let’s get to meet all the current playable Hydro characters in Genshin Impact.
