Often, a four-character team revolves around supporting one character to deal the most damage, the DPS character. DPS, or damage per second, is a calculation that most Genshin Impact players prioritize when building the perfect team.

If you want to maximize the amount of damage you do, build a team around a few characters from this list and you'll see the numbers increase.

With the game adding new characters in almost every update, there are plenty of viable options to choose from as your main DPS. While some new units may have slightly higher damage potential, even units introduced post-launch can still be used as fan favorites. Here are our picks for our favorite main DPS units.

Xiao isn't called "Demon" for nothing: he can be a deadly rush on the battlefield with the right support, and his Elemental Burst, "Bane of All Evil," only increases his damage output (even at the cost of his own health). While his damage numbers may be slightly outmatched by other newer units, adding Faruzan to his team can help close the gap and let you go wild with this distant Adeptus.
