The META, or the most effective tactics available, in Genshin Impact usually consists of nothing more than the best character combinations that can put out the highest numbers. That’s because it’s a game about grinding and killing enemies over and over again to get results. So being able to kill them fast saves you a lot of time and nets you more rewards per minute spent playing. Of course, when it comes to the Meta, certain characters are more favored than others due to their simplicity, huge damage numbers, or ability to enable both of those....
