Best Teams for Every Electro DPS in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact’s Electro carries are some of the most versatile units in the game—but also some of the most misunderstood. In a recent breakdown by Zajef77, we got a detailed analysis of every major Electro DPS character, their optimal teams, and how they rank against each other in Version 5.6. Whether you’re building around Varesa, Raiden Shogun, or Clorinde, here’s everything you need to know about maximizing their potential.

The State of Electro in Version 5.6

Electro carries typically shine in reaction-based teams, most often alongside Dendro (for Aggravate and Hyperbloom) or Pyro (for Overload). While mono-Electro remains a niche due to Electro’s limited internal synergy, well-constructed reaction teams continue to push these units into the meta spotlight.

Most Electro teams fall into three core categories:

• Aggravate/Quicken teams (e.g. with Nahida or Fischl)
• Hyperbloom teams (e.g. with Nahida + Xingqiu/Yelan)
• Overload/Burning teams (enabled by Chevreuse or other Pyro supports)

Let’s break down each major Electro carry and their top-performing teams.

Keqing: Solid, But Outshined

Keqing works best in Aggravate teams with Fischl and a Dendro unit like Nahida. While her raw damage isn’t great, her fast Electro application helps drive Fischl’s Ascension 4 passive, letting Fischl often out-damage her. Keqing is playable, but heavily dependent on her team carrying her performance.

Raiden Shogun: Still Versatile, Best in Hyperbloom

Raiden Shogun’s best team today is not her iconic National team—it’s Raiden Hyperbloom. Thanks to her consistent Electro application, long uptime, and low energy needs, she is one of the most effective Hyperbloom triggers in the game. Pair her with Nahida and Xingqiu/Yelan for a strong, consistent team that performs even in high-HP Abyss floors.

Kuki Shinobu: The Budget Hyperbloom Core

Kuki excels in Hyperbloom thanks to her healing and consistent (albeit slower) Electro application. Her healing keeps your team healthy and enables Furina’s fanfare, making her a great option when you don’t have access to 5-star Electro units.

Yae Miko: High Damage, Needs Support

Yae Miko performs well in both Quicken and Overload comps, especially with Fischl. Her best setups revolve around Chevreuse teams, where her high damage and turret uptime can shine—particularly in AoE.

Cyno: Inflexible but Functional

Cyno’s long on-field presence makes him difficult to pair with standard buffers, and he doesn’t work well with Fischl due to their conflicting cooldowns. Still, with Nahida and a solid healer like Furina or Baizhu, Cyno teams are still serviceable in most Abyss environments.

Sethos: High Skill, High Ceiling

Sethos may be one of the most difficult characters to play optimally, but his Aggravate damage potential is among the best in the 4-star roster. Proper execution of his walk-cancel tech and flexible charge attacks make him deadly in well-practiced hands. His top teams include Fischl + Nahida or Kirara, and sometimes quickburn setups with Pyro characters like Chevreuse.

Dori: One-Niche Wonder

While Dori is rarely used as a carry, she has one very specific use case: C6 Dori Hyperbloom. In this role, she triggers reactions while healing and works well with Nahida and Furina. Outside of this setup, she’s not a viable DPS.

Clorinde: Electro’s Most Flexible DPS

Clorinde combines self-healing with strong elemental application and a variety of viable team setups. Her top archetypes include:

• Quicken + Fischl
• Quickbloom + Furina
• Burning Overload with Chevreuse

Her Bond of Life mechanic synergizes well with Furina’s healing-based buffs, making her surprisingly tanky and effective in both single-target and AoE situations.

Varesa: The New Gold Standard for Electro

Varesa is currently the strongest Electro DPS in the game—but with narrow optimization paths. She performs best in two team archetypes:

1. Varesa + Chevreuse + Fischl/Yansan + Pyro Support (Ma or Xiangling)
2. Varesa + Furina + Healer + Electro Support

Varesa doesn’t scale well in Dendro teams, but her pure damage output is so high that even her “bad” teams outpace some of the older Electro carries. While her charge attack is clunky, she adapts well to 20-second rotations and offers great AoE with plunging attacks.

Final Verdict: The Best Electro DPS Teams Right Now

According to Zajef77’s rankings, here’s how the current Electro carries stack up:

• Top Tier: Varesa (with Chevreuse or Furina), Raiden Shogun (Hyperbloom)
• Strong Options: Clorinde, Yae Miko, Sethos (with high skill)
• Viable, But Outclassed: Cyno, Keqing, Kuki Shinobu
• Niche or Situational: Dori

If you’re looking to build a top-tier Electro team in Genshin Impact, prioritize reaction-based setups and look to characters like Varesa, Clorinde, or Raiden Hyperbloom as your cornerstone.
