Characters and Unlock Details May Change Yearly

The selection of characters and the requirement to unlock the Limited 5-Star character selector event may change the following year.

Best Limited 5-Star Character to Invite

Varesa is the best character to pick amongst the 6th Anniversary free character selection, as she is great for exploration and has high damage potential as a Main DPS. The second best choice is Nilou, as she is useful in both Bloom and Lunar-Bloom teams as a Hydro applicator.

Chiori is a good choice for a Geo Sub-DPS for teams like Navia's or Zibai's. Baizhu is a good healer and Dendro support, but Clorinde and Childe have both fallen short against other DPS characters as time has gone by.

Best Limited Characters to Pick

Rank Character Strengths
1 Genshin - Varesa Varesa ・Best DPS amongst the available choices and one of the best DPS characters in general.
・Great for exploration, especially for new players.
2 Genshin - Nilou Nilou ・Provides good Hydro application and damage amplification for Bloom teams.
・Can be useful in Lunar-Bloom teams assuming you have Lauma or Nefer.
・Constellation can be obtained in the To Temper Thyself event.
3 Genshin - Chiori Chiori ・Provides a consistent and reliable off-field Geo DMG and support for Geo DPS such as Zibai, Navia, or Itto.
・Constellation can be obtained in the To Temper Thyself event.
4 Genshin - Baizhu Baizhu ・Decent healer and Dendro applicator.
・Constellation can be obtained in the To Temper Thyself event.
5 Genshin - Clorinde Clorinde ・Not as strong as Varesa in terms of DPS capabilities
・Recommended only if you use her regularly and already have her or her C1.
・Constellation can be obtained in the To Temper Thyself event.
6 Genshin - Tartaglia Tartaglia ・Suffers from being a very old unit and doesn't hold up to newer DPS characters, even with constellations.
・Constellation can be obtained in the To Temper Thyself event.

Consider Their Constellations

If you already have these characters, you can consider which ones would benefit the most from having their constellation unlocked. Nilou and Chiori in particular gain a lot from their respective C1.

It's also good to note that Nilou, Chiori, Baizhu, Clorinde, and Tartaglia are all available as choices in the permanent free constellation event, which may affect your decision.

The fact you don't mention how good Nilou is for a Nahida bloom team disappoints me vastly. Best AoE team in the game.

i got Chiori ive wanted her since she came out but couldn't justify pulling her without Zhongli but now that she's free and i can get a free constellation yeah easy choice, only conflict was i could get C2 Chlorinde but i figure having more characters is better because of imaginarium theater
