Top Genshin Characters You Only Need at C0

Hi Travelers! Constellations are often seen as a measure of a character’s strength，especially for 5-stars. But some characters are already top-tier at C0 ( Constellation 0), without extra investment to shine.

So which characters are true C0 powerhouses with amazing value? Let’s take a look together!

 

Nilou

Nilou’s inclusion in the C0 tier list is no surprise. During the Sumeru era, a lot of team power came from Bloom reactions between Hydro and Dendro. Nilou’s role was to trigger these reactions, creating her unique “Nilou’ Blooms.”

Her strength is closely tied to the Bloom core. She has no major weaknesses, making her a top pick among C0 characters.

 

Sangonomiya Kokomi

Kokomi was heavily underestimated when she first came out. She has proven over time that she truly belongs in many teams.

Kokomi performs well in Freeze comps, and with Escofier’s release, her role as a Hydro support and healer is valued once again. Even on her own, Kokomi works great in pure Hydro teams and Bloom teams—all showing her solid strength at C0.

Besides, players who own Kokomi no longer have to worry about low HP. No matter how much health a character is missing, Kokomi can heal them up instantly. No more running around looking for Statues of The Seven!

 

Venti

As the first Archon to be added to the game, Venti was designed with very few flaws or traps. At C0, Venti demonstrates the amazing crowd control power of Anemo characters. In the early days of the game, there were no enemies Venti couldn’t gather together. One Elemental burst could gather scattered enemies into a single point, making team damage much more efficient.

Venti also plays a key role in energy generation. His talent allows the whole team to regain energy quickly, improving the overall combat experience. With the rise of strong, low-cost Swirl-based characters in newer versions, Venti has made a strong return to the spotlight. He’s easily one of the best C0 main supports out there.

Besides, Venti is also a top-tier choice for exploration. His skill lifts him into the air while creating an updraft, and his passive talent reduces stamina consumption while gliding. This is especially useful in mountain or plain areas. Combined with his Anemo element, Venti strikes one of the best balances between exploration and combat among all C0 characters.

 

Zhongli

Similarly, Zhongli carved out a unique role for himself: interruption resistance and resistance reduction. Even at C0, Zhongli offers strong protection. In early battles, his shield alone allowed players to move freely through enemies without getting interrupted.

His pillar also applies a decent amount of universal resistance reduction to all elements. This valuable debuff remains powerful even in the Natlan era, where buffing options are everywhere.

Although C0 Zhongli players rarely use his burst, the crowd control it provides is still helpful in many situations.

Lastly, his stone stele, as a Geo construct, can be used for exploration, especially in terrain puzzles or reaching higher areas. Overall, Zhongli stands out as one of the best value-for-investment characters in the game.

 

Alhaitham

As the best on-field unit for Nahida-Xingqiu-Kuki teams, Alhaitham fills the gap in AoE damage and greatly boosts both finishing power and sustained DPS.

One of Alhaitham’s biggest strengths is his flexible rotation. His E+Q has an 18-second CD, mirrors have a 12-second CD, and his passive talent adds even more flexibility.

In fights where targets need to switch often, he can open with E to handle one wave, swap out to let teammates cast skills, then use Q to deal with the next wave. Many older main DPS characters can’t do this.

Even at C0, Alhaitham has solid damage and a smooth damage cycle. That’s why this team only needs two 5-stars to work well and performs strongly even in the current Natlan meta.

 

Kaedehara Kazuha

Kazuha’s investment cost is naturally low. Compared to main DPS characters, supports need much less in terms of stats. Some supports who rely mainly on their skills don’t even need to focus on energy recharge. This is a big advantage when building a team.

C0 Kazuha is just such a character. Although his damage boost scales with elemental mastery, he needs Elemental Mastery main stats much more often than energy recharge stats. This makes his artifact farming much easier.

Besides, part of Kazuha’s strength comes from the high resistance reduction of the Anemo artifact set. The trigger for this effect is very easy for Kazuha to activate. By combining swirl and elemental infusion properly, Kazuha can make great use of the set’s bonus.

 

Nahida

Nahida is the Dendro Archon introduced in the Sumeru era. She has very few cost restrictions. Her design focuses on great value for investment. It’s well known that much of the strength in Sumeru comes from the Bloom reaction. To benefit from this reaction, having a good Dendro applicator is very important.

C0 Nahida is an excellent off-field Dendro support. She outperforms other off-field Dendro characters in elemental application and damage. Her burst also boosts elemental mastery, which perfectly fits Dendro-related reactions. Nahida’s value is much higher than many expect.

 

Xilonen

Xilonen is the first 5-star support released in Natlan, and her strength is obvious to everyone. At C0, Xilonen is similar to Kazuha. With her flexible skill rotation and powerful artifact sets, she can easily provide the team with up to 36% resistance reduction and 28% damage boost.

Although her numbers are slightly lower than Kazuha’s, Xilonen’s buff is easier to trigger. After using her skill and two normal attacks, the whole team gains the bonus. What’s more, Xilonen has good healing and exploration abilities in Natlan’s open world. She is definitely one of the best C0 characters right now.
