Genshin Impact, the latest action RPG from Mihoyo, features several characters for players to create or include in their party. Each character has their own Vision or element associated with their attacks and skills. They also have different rarity levels and belong to different tiers. And just as it is in gacha games, the higher the tier the characters are, the more powerful they are.
