Like how ice cream needs its toppings, DPS characters need other characters in a party to support them. Healers, sub-DPS, shielders, and all other support roles are important in a team. There is one underrated role, however, that can make your DPS’ damage hit different–maximizing and pushing their strength double than usual. These are Enablers. Enablers help your DPS character by boosting their elemental damage and giving them amazing buffs.
This list will show you which Genshin Impact Enabler characters are the best pick for your team!
S-Tier
These enablers are indispensable and a muct pull, you need them on your team. They synergize well with any team and provide amazing buffs, additional AoE, and elemental damage boosts for the whole team. With or without their constellations, these enablers are a real game-changer.

- Albedo doesn’t need any constellation to be a top-tier enabler, his skill can deliver amazing effects on its own. His constellations do deliver amazing buffs such as his Elemental Burst scaling from his DEF stat at c2 which can enable strong elemental Crystallize effects.

Infamous for the bad luck that he brings in every journey, Bennett is a budding adventurer from Mondstadt doing his best to have amazing adventures and friends.

Why is Shenhe S-Tier?
- Her Elemental skill has an effect called Icy Quill which boosts Cryo DMG bonus.
- With her elemental skill and burst, she could apply cryo infusions for the team for a duration of time.

4. Mona (97/100, S-tier)
Mona Megistus, she who reads the stars and knows of everyone's future, currently residing in Mondstadt and finding ways to not be broke.

Why is Mona S-Tier?
- Mona’s damage relies on elemental reactions, making her optimal for any team that needs hydro application. Her skill set is based on using elemental attacks as a catalyst user.

- Her burst gives amazing AoE elemental damage which affects everyone in the field with hydro. Her burst also has an effect called Omen that boosts the damage an opponent takes when affected by Omen once characters hit them with any attack.

- Of course, Barbara’s skill allows for both enabling and healing, you can switch to your DPS character and infuse their skills with hydro while also maintaining their health.
- Stamina consumption is reduced by 12% for any of your active characters when using Barbara’s skill. This may be useful for enabling catalyst characters as they can lose stamina really quickly.
- Barbara’s all good on her own, but if you want to maximize her enabling ability, try going for her c2! It’s a good bonus to shorten her elemental skill’s cooldown and boost your active character’s Hydro DMG by 15%.
6. Xiangling (95/100, A-tier)
Xiangling and her loveable companion Guoba, the famed duo from Wanmin Restaurant, are always on the lookout for great ingredients. Be careful not to give her any slime condensate as an ingredient.
The famous chef of Liyue’s renowned Wanmin Restaurant is known as one of the best supports in the game. Xiangling isn’t just a powerhouse in the kitchen, but she could prove to be one of the best members of your party when it comes to applying elemental reactions.
Why is Xiangling A-Tier?

The affluent and honorable Xingqiu is one of the best hydro infusions in the game. He could provide additional damage and elemental infusions for the team with the help of the ever-versatile hydro element.
Why is Xingqiu A-Tier?
- Xingqiu can consistently apply hydro through his elemental skill and burst.
- His elemental skill can generate energy particles that may allow your elemental burst to charge quickly while also infusing your enemies with hydro and dealing damage.
- His elemental burst is his main selling point, it allows your character to rain down hydro swords that can consistently apply hydro to your opponents and allow powerful elemental reactions with hydro.
- His elemental skill also reduces the damage you take when coming in contact with an enemy while also affecting them with hydro.
- He’ll definitely need constellations to boost his enabling abilities though, he could function well up to c2 which reduces opponents’ hydro resistance and allow your hydro DPS to attack properly as well as receive prolonged hydro damage with his burst’s increased duration
8. Kokomi (94/100, A-tier)
Sangonomiya Kokomi is ever so graceful and majestic. She's a wise and kind leader that may need more sleep. Do remember to read to her when you can.
The bright and strategic leader of Watatsumi Island is widely known for her powerful hydro applications. Kokomi can easily heal and shower the battlefield with constant elemental reactions.
Why is Kokomi A-Tier?
- Her elemental skill provides excellent AoE Hydro DMG, allowing a long period of elemental applications.
- While applying her skill–which is useful for enabling–she could heal you instantly. Since a lot of DPS characters are considered squishy like Klee and Yanfei, healing while enabling hydro reactions may help with boosting their damage.
- Kokomi synergizes best with electro and cryo teams wherein she could act as an enabler for Taser comps or Perma-freeze comps. With her skill, she could inflict hydro infusions while your electro and cryo characters work their skills.
- In the present game, Kokomi is very sought after for her ability to also inflict Bloom, a powerful dendro elemental reaction that can also be used to explore Inazuma. Her skills could inflict powerful bloom effects.
- Although Kokomi could perform well as a DPS, her ability as support is excellent as well, as a catalyst she could consistently apply Hydro damage, especially with her charged attack which is great when it comes to using her in co-op. While in co-op, you can use her skills and basic attacks to give the team some hydro reactions.
9. Collei (93/100, A-tier)
Collei traveling the forests of Sumeru, doing her very best as a trainee forest ranger. Tighnari is sure to be proud of her, as well as Amber.
She’s a newbie hailing from the lush greenery of Sumer, Collei is a cute and friendly forest ranger that patrols the vicinities. With her dendro abilities, she’s not to be underestimated when it comes to inflicting amazing reactions.
Why is Collei A-Tier?

- Her elemental skill can already enable Quicken and spread on its own. The Boomerang she casts is flung across the field once and enables dendro, then it flies back and enables the quicken effect by dealing another wave of dendro reaction.
- Her off-field elemental burst can deal great AoE dendro damage which allows other elemental reactions to come through. While the field is on, you can switch or let other characters attack with their skills.
- She could easily support Tighnari, especially when equipping a full Deepwood Memories artifact set which gives them both dendro DMG bonus and allows powerful applications of Spread and other dendro effects.
- C4 Collei buffs Elemental mastery for the entire party by 60 for 12 seconds, apart from giving off-field elemental reactions. Elemental mastery gives the party the power to deal huge elemental reactions.
10. Diona (93/100, A-tier)
Be careful when ordering a drink from Diona, she's sure to get mad when you drink way too much. Remember the quota: four glasses may be enough for the day.
The young bartender of the cat’s tail has quite the skill–not just in making drinks but also in giving cryo infusions. If you’re looking for an enabler that works best in Co-op and provides more supporting abilities, I believe Diona is the perfect fit for the job!
Why is Diona S-Tier?
- Diona is primarily used for her skill and burst which give great cryo support and reactions. Meaning that she is used primarily for her cryo abilities that can assist and infuse your DPS’ attack once casted.
- Her skill can both provide cryo application and a shield for your character. Once casted, it shoots multiple arrows at the enemy and upon impact, also generates a shield for your character.
- The shield made by her skill also allows a 250% Cryo Absorption that infuses your character with cryo and allows for better cryo applications with each hit.
- Her elements burst constantly applies cryo, especially since it’s easy to charge up. It creates an AoE cryo field which allows for cryo-related reactions.
