Kamisato Ayaka. Her popularity is on another level. People waited for her for 2 years to be released in Genshin . Her popularity status is that high that Dawei, CEO of Mihoyo also mentioned her as one of the Most popular Inazuma Character . She should be within Top 5
@@sentience3033 The game celebrated its 1st anniversary in 2021 and was released in 2020 and if I am not wrong, Ayaka came in May, June or July. How is that 2 years may I inquire?
@@pokemonmasterfreeman1117 CBT , Ayaka was popular even before the game's release
Arataki itto is pretty popular If i do say so myself, and if you include the latest character, kamisato ayato should rise and fast
U missed Ayaka. Multiples waited for her for a long time.
Childe being in the 1st place
Mojo: that's because he is good in combat
Reality: griffin our god and a Bible full of memes with him
Sneznayas greatest love machine
Hey girle, hold still 😉
In Asia jp and cn he's really popular
In west side ...... I think they misunderstood him because they don't read lore or something
@@dhirajkandwal7550 not surprising to see westerners not read
Also he has some of the best lore in the game
If childe gets a new skin, ill buy it.
The delusion skin is literally in the game and if they give him electro instead of hydro for it, goodbye to my money
@@Ivy-jq6di the reason why Childe is praised by many is because of the hydro element, making him highly flexible, if they keep the same skill set and turn hydro into electro, it'll be a straight up downgrade...
Id literally buy it so fast. I haven’t bought any of the other skins but I will literally get money for him
I'd like an Emiya skin
if Venti get his Archon skin, I'll buy it
When I was actively playing Genshin many months ago, Childe didn't strike me as super popular, if anything, Zhong Li was extremely popular. Maybe now dynamics have changed.
yes childe reruns are hitting hard for every genshin player
not at all, Zhongli is the popular one now
childe is extremely popular in asia, not as much the west, but still popular.
@@ikapika when you commented that a childe main came into my world saying “I love you”
@BunsGlazing technically he is not stronger but more useful
Number 1: The Wallet
Tar Tar Targalia… Snezhnaya’s greatest love machine
Hey girlie, it's yo boi childe
THERE WAS A CAT THAT REALLY WAS GONE
TAR TAR TARGLIA SNEZHNAYAS GREATEST LOVE MACHINE
IT WAS A SHAME HOW HE CARRIED ON
@@miyf-u6374 XD too good
TARTAR SAUCE
Based on looks and powers alone, I really like to play Diluc
trust me. he isn't meta anymore. his DPS gets dwarfed by S+ tier DPS like hu tao, ganyu, eula, raiden shogun, xiao etc. if u want to u use him since u like him in some way then fine by me
@@adpfgaming7472 let ppl have fun bruh
@@adpfgaming7472 this isn't pvp game .... I play DiluC as well and he's my fav character .... Yes u can do more damage with The New meta .... But still DiluC is just perfect
@@adpfgaming7472 and who ask For your opinion eh?
@@adpfgaming7472 META SLAVE
WAIT I DID NOT EXPECT CHILDE TO BE #1 I‘m a childe main ayeeee
yesss ayyy
Same I love Childe. But still I don't think he should be number 1. 🤣
I'll take it tho. 😂
YESS! best genshin character’
@@TheReaIestOne he’s #1 in japan and a lot of asian countries.
@@ikapika hey he's my personal favourite but above characters like Kazuha, Ayaka, Xiao, Raiden? I don't think so, at least not in terms of popularity. But I'm just one guy and like you said he's fan favourite in a lot of Asian countries so I'll take your word for it. I'm happy regardless, my favourite character being number 1. I hope for 12 more reruns.🤣
Tartaglia is Mihoyo's favorite child
he has WAY too much content revolved around him and is nearly everyone's favorite character
the fact that he's nr.1 didn't shock me at all. or anyone who plays Genshin and has seen this probably
And how does Childe is favourite to mihoyo?
3 banners and counting 🤣🤣🤣
Nah ayaka is clearly mihoyo's favorite kid.
How is raiden at 8 💀 she’s SO ICONIC and everybody (even if you don’t play genshin) knows who she is
They lists always wrong as usual...im still wondering how keqing is even in top 10 and zhongli is number 4
@@Antonio_Dude I guess the poll is character based not so as meta based, and most players love Keqing but hate her kit
This list is based on google searches bro, ig thats why. Still, no 8 is not bad?
@@Antonio_Dude its based on popularity not sales etc best sale doesn’t make a character #1 most popular
Childe the Lover of Snezhnaya Queen! Lets go!
Seriously, Eula didn't even get an honorable mention?! Her beauty, grace, strength, and tragic backstory. All of that should have gotten her somewhere on this list!
Do you understando what ''MOST POPULAR CHARACTERS'' means?
I didnt know what the interesting side About eula. The story is so so and cannt compared to other character. Even kaeya story is more interesting than her i think.
A lot of people still misunderstood her story and actively hates her. As much as fan of Eula I am, I understand why she's not on this list.
What I am more surprised was how low Raiden and Ganyu were in this list.
@@mrlaguna0808 That's my point exactly. It's been over 8 months since her official debut. A fanbase surrounding Eula wouldn't be too hard to believe. A fair number of Genshin players, among others, may admire her beautiful appearance, her skills as a fighter, and/or her background which is rooted in the historic/continued disdain between the citizens of Mondstadt and the nation's nobles.
unfortunately, she is not as popular as other characters.
With his popularity,there are now just 999 reruns left of my man tartaglia
Childe is sooo fun to play and really versatile. I don't like bow characters but I use him on almost every team.
Everyone saying childe shouldn't be first when in the pash gi popularity contest he was 1st, 2nd being zhongli in Japan. His second banner rerun surpassing his first there, making on another popularity contest list in Japan at 15th higher than both raiden and zhongli. Another which is from female voters and being the only gi character.
And being one of the most iconic characters because no shuts up about him
Childe mains appreciate your appreciation towards our boy
lmao ppl be surprised childe is no.1 when he is extremely popular in Asia ESPECIALLY in japan. man is literally the most popular genshin character in japan. west side of fanbase just hate him, either bcs they don't understand complex/morally grey players, cd issues, or him being ginger. 😭
West side dont read lore
They will know in future when we see him in shneznaya
i am asian but childe is literally on the bottom of my list of 5* chars.... so i AM surprised at him on #1....
@@thewackykid Why do you think this apply to every single one of us
@@dhirajkandwal7550
“How come the abyss heralds have such similar attacks?!! Mihoyo being lazy?!?”
I honestly don't get what's the problem with gingers can anyone enlighten me? I love Childe because morally grey characters are just so cool.
So happy to find him getting the top spot in popularity here. It doesn't feel like that way in some GI communities, he's always being mocked and trashed by some like his skills' cooldown etc. I really love him as a character and DPS. And I can tell that he will be irreplaceable to me even in the future once Ayato's banner drops. Really loving my hydro babies. All of them, but Childe is special of course!🥺
It's not necessarily a good thing that a game is being covered in watchMojo. These guys make really misleading videos.
@@IndraD this video itself is misleading lmao Childe is my fav male character in Genshin but he doesnt strike me as number one most popular in the community. And the fact that Watch mojo said that Keqing(my waifu) is a deadly dps is already wrong in a lot of ways. She's out dps by a lot of characters but I love her. Bought her skin too.
@@gilgamashu1435 Well Childe is the most famous character in China so they did their half-assed reasearch from there and Keqing can be a "deadly dps" if someone builds her like that.
@@gilgamashu1435 he's extremely popular in Asia and especially Japan , he's got the highest sales there
Putting raiden at 8 is a disgrace. She is easily the most popular and most favourite character in the game.
Cap
I've been fangirling about Shenhe since she got released
Same here but I'm a fan of her since November 2020 😎👍🏼
@@DJLucas666 she wasn't even released 💀
@@alchemos1058 I know, but she was leaked since then and her design was far different from what we see today 😅 but still beautiful
@@alchemos1058 she was leaked in november 2020
CHILDE #1 WOOOO! Pretty sure the JP community has a huge hand in that. They absolutely love him! Great story too! Childe gigachad! The rest of the fandom or the west trashes him but if they do understand him, he deserves that spot.
Other than the archons, he and Albedo are pushing the overall plot. Diluc-Kaeya or the Mondstadt gang has yet to join.
This seems to be mixed of favorites by gameplay and lore. With Childe leading, it does support it.
ikr, like obviously no one has to like every character but completely disregarding his lore and past is pathetic lmao, I've seen so many people say they hate him because he tried to drown the people of Liyue as if they don't simp for literal serial killers in other media lol
I'm a Hu Tao main for life so happy to see her so high on the list :)
CHILDE MY BELOVED
*our beloved
Xiao is truly a badass
Xiao simp here. I missed his banner tho so….. GOT MORE TIME TO SAVE UP!
Even though I quit, keqing and ganyu will always be my number 1 and 2 no matter who is released
Next should be Mihoyo's Honkai Impact. That game also has a lot of great qualities. And I will join the Genshin Impact train if or when it comes to Nintendo Switch!
No, honkai will never be as popular as genshin
@@zoe4965 agreed. Looks like the men are what carrying genshin popularity. With no men in Honkai, I doubt it will ever be popular
@@amberxv4777 who cares if it's not popular I mean did you try the game even without male characters playable ( that is not completely true) it still one of the best and did you even try absorbing it's lore it's deeper that genshin
Will it ever come to Nintendo Switch? It feels like it was announced 2 years ago with no word since then.
Also, yeah I'd like to see a top 10 popular Honkai characters too!
The REAL list as a player who's been playing for a long time, THESE are the most popular characters.
Raiden, Hu Tao, Xiao, Zhongli
bw these few characters it's extremely hard to say which one is more popular. They're all equally iconic and popular
Wait what childe no 1? Lets go!
My Boi Childe is No. 1 lets freaking go!
I guarantee you the toxic fanbase is going to send death threats and start a riot because they don't like the list
Guess you never met the cheerful and wholesome part of the community
I literally haven't seen a single bad comment until now on this video lol. Although I've experienced the toxic side of this fandom, the majority is still pretty good
@Harold Garzon
Most likely the west portion or just those who doesn't like him or misunderstood his character. If it's the CN community (lore wise) and everything with the JP community, expect them to defend him. Especially in JP lol! They absolutely love him. Beats ZL in merch even. Childe is their ZL as to the majority of us. The CN is mixed to ZL's lore but gameplay wise? Good.
lol, probably form the toxic Genshin Twitter group.
@@idmss2663 You mean western people 🤣
Damn it’s odd to see Ayaka is not even mentioned, When her popularity is that much high that Dawei , The CEO of Mihoyo mentioned her popularity status as the most popular Inazuma character.
I'm utterly disappointed myself too for not seeing Ayaka in the list.
Pretty sure people now are more curious about her brother...
agree.. ayaka ought to be top 5....
Agree, Every time I see the fanart tag, ayaka's fanart dominates ganyu's fanart
Most popular Inuzuma character doesn't mean she's the most popular overall. Just within the Inuzuma cast. But yeah, I expected her in the list too. I'm just happy Diluc managed to slip in.
As a mains to diluc ei kazuha childe being mentioned on this puts a smile on my face 😀
As a Childe main this makes me so happy
Childe is my comfort character, I'm so happy to know that he's so appreciated 😭💜
Childe is the most popular genshin character in AO3 (fanfiction website) and many players talk about him (lore, gameplay, like/dislike, making memes, etc). So no wonder he becomes first
Wow no mention of Mona? I was going to hold off on playing Genshin until I saw her design. I figured all the character designs must be great if she looked that good. So yes, Mona is the reason I played Genshin. Got her without paying too.
I’ve gotten too many of her...
@@Dev2n No such thing
@@Dev2n Mona took my childe constellation and zhongli
@@Flareboxx more than 1 mona is too many
Same case for me. I started genshin because i used to see mona everywhere on twitter
Funny how a game, with majority male players n focus more on female characters but both meta (bennet, xinqiu, kazuha, zhongli) n popularity ranking were dominated by male characters.
I think it's probably because there are many female characters so the fanbase is split meanwhile male characters is fewer so the they are more packed.
Havent played genshin in a long time but I'll never forget snagging Rosaria. My favorite by far. Such a great character design
Oof.
Poor soul didn't hear the news that they changed Rosaria's outfit again do to censorship.
Thankfully US has the option to keep the old outfit.
@@halkun7191 they did?
@@SpikeTheWolf yep. Got rid of her leg nets and changed the clothing to her shirt.
Poor Rosaria always getting picked on by Mihoyo.
@@halkun7191 well that sucks why her tho?
@@SpikeTheWolf People speculate its due to the Chinese government censorship laws (since the game is made by in China)
I'm sad that they also got rid of her animation where she kicks her spear into her hand. :( oh well
People may insult Tartaglia because of his reruns but personally for me, he has one of the greatest backstories in a video game character. His lore is deep and dark and his character is excellently designed. His gameplay is unique too. I feel sad that missed him in his banner as I started in his last banner
zhongli's past" we won't spoil here
baal's(ei) past and archon quest" gets spoiled
man, childe is the only character that i care to get his skin 😂
My favorite has always been Ganyu and Ei, and Just got Ganyu 2 days ago!. I´m so happy right now!.
Congratulations!
Ganyu best girl
As a childe main I'm so happy 😂😂 to see 😭😭😭this . You have my support and love .
childe being introduced as a ‘pure hydro dps’ i cried
I’m so glad keqing is in top 10 even though she’s a low tier character I love her
Keqing mains represent. I'm going for Ganyu this banner but even when I get her I'm STILL gonna main Keqing because I'm loyal to my first 5 star.
@@Ergoperidot same I just wish they would buff her a bit
Main Keqing here.
Been playing ever since i got her few months ago and her E ( teleport ) always comes in handy when collecting sigils on some areas with no Clift area to reach it.
I love all of them, so it's really difficult for me to have favourites, but Childe being no. 1? I 100% agree~
Ganyu takes my #1 vote right above Keqing
As a Keqing, Childe and Zhongli haver and fan.... I'm very very happy 🥰
Ah childe with 3 time reruns, no wonder he is on number 1
What logic is that
Zhongli also had 2 rerun
He only had 2 reruns wdym? The same as Zhongli.
I don’t agree with Zhongli’s ranking . He should be the number 1 in ANY LIST . He has the highest amount of views in his demo and would have liked him at no. 1
please do know that views ≠ popularity. Qiqi has literally one of the most viewed video in genshin and is she that popular ? nope.
Bruh.... Having the highest views doesn't mean that character is the most popular.
Childe No. 1 lets go!
I tagatilla would be number 1
I am a total simp for Kazuha lol! I'm literally saving up all my primogems so that I can get the highest chance of drawing him during his rerun! I just hope that rerun is soon!
lucky for us, he’s rumored to be in 2.6 along with Ayato!
@@chaoticweeb229 dang, that’s not lucky for me, i want them both :/
same, you can guess how much i love him from my dp lol
Come on, no love for 4-stars? No Amber, Barbara, Thoma and Bennett?
No Mona?! I thought she was the most popular one, considering all the fan art I’ve seen of her🤣
She is, but Her Destiny wasn't foretold by the stars XD
Best buns ever
@@SpikeTheWolf no that be The Cryo Fatui Legionnaires.
There's more of keqing
i will get diluc’s constellation as a tattoo that’s not a wish, that’s a promise
Lol
@@ex0duzz oh I forgot I commented this 💀 I actually got it
Non-Ayaka-Havers are literally dying for The Mature Loli.....while Mojo Co. already forgot...🤦🏻♂️
A piece of suggestion, Albedo might have got an Buff I know, but lets be practical community loves Itto and Ayaka more than him 🤷🏻♂️
And just wait for a week or so...Lady Yae will storm the Simping list (only by her outfit) 😋
Childe is Mr Worldwide
Childe is popular because there lived a certain man in Snezhnaya long ago
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow🌟
OH WAIT XIAO TOP 3 OMG DESERVED KING
I love paimon,she’s sweet and adorable,I was sad she wasn’t #1 :(,i wish she was atleast on the list
She's so annoying tho. 🤣
@@TheReaIestOne she’s annoying in an endearing way for me lmfao
@@chaoticweeb229 Same
My top character would be Zhongli, Xiao, Ayato, Childe Ningguang, Raiden Shogun, Ganyu, Venti, Diluc, and Nahida. But I’m pretty surr that Nahida will be ranked up there once she gets the necessary exposure she needs. Few more banner reruns and I’m pretty sure that she’ll become everyone’s favourite.
As a long term player , the most popular char is basically the one who is featured on the current banner or one of the archons.
See ranking and tier lists for yourself
I mean Raiden Shogun has the most banner sales. BY FAR, like it ain’t close.
Her demo has the most likes of any character’s demo. Despite having no ads causing a low video count.
No way she’s just 8
it's crazy that the character with the highest selling banner at that time was ranked number 8 most popular
Seing childe as no 1 makes me really happy
Why Ayaka and Yoimiya or Kokomi not in honorable mention? People love them.
Of Course Hydro Daddy is #1, he's my favorite character, tripled crowned and C4, can't wait for his rerun and he's so sexy with his exposed stomach and that eargasmic voice of Griffin Burns, makes me so we-
I can't believe Ayaka was snob snobbed and didn't even get an honorable mention.
3:19 Metal
Imma say this now, this video will age like milk
Finally, an accurate list of Genshin Impact from Watchmojo
Raiden shogun in the 8th position
.
.
.
What the fu😭k broo
I knew the husbandos would be more popular if anything. Xiao and Childe get so many simps. I'm not surprised at all.
Klee is my favorite: she’s so cute!
Cringe
Loli lover😈
The surprising thing in this list is Raiden Shogun at no. 8. No way that our no-cook- skill-sweet-loving-booba-sword queen ranked that low
Thats why childe is the rerun archon. I missed childe rerun because i can save my primo :)
PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS ARE SALTY LMFAO
Fr🤣. They are also pretty stupid because they think Popularity is only on inside the game and banner sales
Childe is my best builded f2p character 75% Crit Rate and 170% Crit Damage
Same. I have 65/240 rate/dmg
@@amberxv4777 Childe is just the best isn't he 😆😆
How did u get that much crit 😶
@@horangae5230 I was lucky enough to get Skyward Harp from Standard Banner. And also most of my artifacts gives me atleast 25% CD including a Crit Rate Circlet with 22% CD. Tbh It took me way too much time. I used all my resins for farming Heart of Depth set for 2 months. Being Patient is the Key here. Good luck 👍👍
I’m free2play but I’m definitely cashing out if they decided to release a Childe skin. 🙌🏽 Anything for mah boii
If Childe gets a rerun I’ll definitely pull for him,just to put him in my teapot.
Did anyone else notice this list was all 5 stars.
Should have retitled the video to Genshin Impact Most popular 5 stars character instead.
zhongli probably should be ranked higher.
i might not be 100% correct. but i feel like everyone in the genshin community, likes zhongli. for his character, appearance and kit. yeah he might not be your top favorite, but we all just appreciate him for being the grandpa that he is.
70% of these characters haven't had a rerun this entire year. New players don't even know how to get them. I was lucky I got Keqing after losing my 50/50 on a Yae Miko banner.
My opinion but this is how i think the Top5 would be-
1) Zhongli
2) Xiao
3) Venti
4) Pimon
5) The traveler ( whichever you choose )
To all the people who didn’t read or pay attention. This the “Popularity” not “Highest sales” which means it is in surveys, magazines, fanbases, etc.
Tell me you don’t play Genshin Impact without telling me you don’t play Genshin Impact.
So like you mentioned Kaeya and then didn't put him anywhere on the list even though he is one of the most popular characters
I thought venti was the most popular I kinda discovered venti first since at one discord server everyone keeps talking about him
Qiqi should have been #1. Her character demo is the #2 most viewed vid of Genshin's channel. Was the emoji that people use in Genshin's discord during the anniversary controversy. And is the most annoying character to lose 50/50 to because she's the worst 5* character
And she's so cuteeee
You’re not wrong, she’s a bigger meme in the community than Childe is lmao
I expected Hu Tao to be in top three, but Childe? Whoa, he is popular in Japan, but I guess, he's famous in other countries, too. Go Childe Sheeran!
Have no idea what this is just following my daughter's footprints
Are we even surprised that ed sheeran is the most popular genshin character?
What do you think is the best thing about Genshin impact game? Is it exciting and worth playing?
Plot, graphics, OST and the frequency of updates and the cut-scenes
High quality production at lightning speed pace, miHoYo is absolutely insane
@LøstSoul The filler updates are absolutely packed that they don't feel like filler at all once you consumed it. Have you played Golden archipelago? Dragonspine?tsurumi island? Enkanomiyya? Events.. etc? They are so good and meaningful and make you love the characters and world even if they are npc. They put high quality content in filler so that you get a breather while making it exciting and worth playing and they do this all in 1. 1/2 months. Other games they take a whole season to make 10% content 90% skins/low effort content and purposely drag it long until you get tiny crumbs and never leave you satisfied.
@LøstSoul windblume was pretty good imo but I agree with the other versions
I would say yes. I haven't seen a game that continually updates every 40 days other than this game. And when I say an update (New Character, New Quests) not just a bug fix or buffs. Also you can experience it all for free. Some people will say otherwise but if you aren't greedy to have all the characters, you can enjoy this game for what it is.
Childe in #1 is the most controversial of them all because I believe atleast half the people who knows genshin hate him and the other half love him
Ayaka is my favorite cause she wants to hold my hand
Childe being No 1 was the greatest twist in this video lmao
To you I suppose lol! Given the things, it's just perfect that he is number 1. You could trash his dmg numbers, blow out of proportion his CD but his potential lore and being hydro is his main pushing point.
Venti is my favorite hands down I really hope we get his archon outfit
Griffin really carrying the Genshin fandom
i have everyone listed on this top 10 except for hu tao and childe. I'm a diluc main so I'm glad that he was on the list but disappointed that he was just ranked #10
