One of the hidden aspects of Genshin Impact is height. It has been proven that tall characters are a better option for exploration than short characters. They can swim greater distances and climb faster. Furthermore, sometimes, an Oculus may require a bit of height to be collected. For players who wish to maximize their exploration experience, here are the tallest characters they can use.

Updated on February 21, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: Previously, the tallest character throne belonged to Childe, the eleventh of the Eleven Fatui Harbinger. But, with the release of Arataki Itto in Genshin Impact 2.3, Tartaglia has to settle for second place. Other than the Fatui, some female characters are also pushed down the list while some others made their way to the top. As of version 2.5, Kujou Sara leads the chart for female units. Because the ranking has now changed, this article is now updated with the most up-to-date information.

14 Ningguang (173.4 cm)

Ningguang is the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, so she holds a large influence in the region. She is widely disliked by those with great powers because of her ruthless and calculating ways. However, it’s evident that the Tianquan has Liyue’s best interest at heart and cares about its inhabitants. For example, when Osial was attacking, she put her problems with the Adepti aside and sacrificed the Jade Chamber, her life’s work, to protect Liyue Harbor.

Previously, the Liyue Qixing looked up to Rex Lapis to make their yearly decisions. But now that the deity is gone, the mortals will handle all of the region’s affairs.

13 Eula (173.6 cm)

Eula Lawrence is the captain of the Reconnaissance Company in the Knights of Favonius. This means that she and her team spend most of their time outside, scouting the area and eliminating any danger.

The Spindrift Knight is a noble because she’s a descendant of the Lawrence Clan. However, she is one of the few ones that acknowledge the wrongdoings of her ancestors. As a result, she cuts ties with her own family and even swears that if they harm Mondstadt in any way, she will not hesitate to eliminate them.

12 Jean (173.9 cm)

Jean Gunnhildr is the Dandelion Knight of the Knights of Favonius. Before Varka embarks on an expedition, he also bestows the title of Acting Grand Master to her. Honestly, it’s the perfect role because Jean puts the needs of Mondstadt’s Citizens before her own. No matter how simple and small the problem is, she is willing to help anyone. Jean considers Vennessa, the first Dandelion Knight, a great role model and works tirelessly to carry on her legacy.

When she is tired or having a bad day, she heads to the Great Tree in Windrise. Another way to de-stress herself is to visit her younger sister, Barbara, a deaconess of the Church of Favonius.

11 Lisa (174.6 cm)

Lisa Minci is a powerful Witch and was considered to be Sumeru Academia’s best student in 200 years. She returned to Mondstadt after two years of advanced studies in Sumeru. At the moment, the Witch is tasked with taking care of the vast collection of books in the Knights of Favonius library. Her favorite hobbies are taking naps or reading books from the restricted section.

The Librarian has a close relationship with Jean, and they often eat together at the Good Hunter. Although Lisa likes to tease the Traveler with flirtatious or witty comments, she considers them very special to her.

10 Raiden Shogun (174.7 cm)

While Raiden Shogun may seem like a tall person, her height only places number four among the female Genshin Impact characters. She’s shorter than her Tengu warrior, Kujou Sara, who by far is the tallest female in the game.

The Electro Archon is the most respected figure in Inazuma. Previously, she spent her time in the Plane of Euthymia while her puppet ran the region for her. But now, Raiden Ei actively leads Inazuma using the Raiden Shogun puppet as her vessel.

9 Shenhe (175.3 cm)

Shenhe was released in Genshin impact 2.4. She’s a disciple of Cloud Retainer, an Adeptus who lives in Mt. Aocang. The crane adopted little Shenhe when she found the girl fighting against an evil god.

After living for so long in the mountains, Shenhe has little understanding of human customs. The red ropes bound around her body also further suppress her emotions, making her seem like a cold person. Despite all that, though, she has been trying to properly live among humans. Recently, Shenhe also found out that she has a nephew, Chongyun.

8 Rosaria (175.5 cm)

Rosaria is a Sister in Mondstadt’s Church of Favonius. Despite being a Sister, she dislikes any Church-related activities and is always either skipping them or being the first one to leave. Rosaria is seen as a cold person and is very skilled with knives and killing. This skill was developed before coming to Mondstadt as she used to live with a group of bandits that taught her everything.

After a while, Grand Master Varka defeated the bandits and offered her a chance to redeem herself. Rosaria accepted and was welcomed in the Church of Favonius. She felt indebted to the City because of its goodwill and decided to protect Mondstadt from the shadows.

7 Kujou Sara (178.1 cm)

Kujou Sara is currently the tallest female character in Genshin Impact. The General of the Tenryou Commission is a formidable warrior, which is no surprise as she bore the blood of Tengu. This Inazuma youkai is known for its unbeatable speed and prowess in both sword and bow fighting.

Sara’s talent can be clearly seen from the fact that she beats both Kazuha’s friend and Arataki Itto in a duel. This leads to Itto constantly harassing the Bulletin Boards, asking for a rematch against the Tengu. The sneaky Kitsune, Yae Miko, even found this amusing as she’s the one responsible for the existence of those messages.

6 Diluc (185.0 cm)

Diluc Ragnvindr used to be the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius. Shortly after his father’s death, he lost his faith in the Knights and left the organization. He claims that they don’t do their job properly. Therefore, Diluc decides to take matters into his own hands and protect Mondstadt in his own way. Thus, to his dismay, he became the “Darknight Hero.”

He inherited the Dawn Winery from his late father and later used it as a wide network of information. Ironically, Diluc doesn’t like the taste of wine and prefers grape juice.

5 Thoma (185.8 cm)

He originally went to Inazuma to bring his father Dandelion Wine. Sadly, he had an accident and got washed up with no Mora or connections. Eventually, he gained the Kamisato’s trust and started working for them. Although he has a cheerful and easy-going personality, if someone messes with one of the Kamisato siblings, he shows no mercy.

Thoma is the Yashiro Commission’s Housekeeper and is considered the “Fixer” around Inazuma. As a result, people around him often seek his help due to his logical and peaceful solutions.

4 Kaeya (186.0 cm)

His full name is Kaeya Alberich and he is the adoptive brother of Diluc. He originally came from Khaenri’ah but as of now, he resides in Mondstadt. Kaeya currently serves as the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius and is the most trusted aide for Jean, the Acting Grand Master.

It is no secret that Kaeya likes to put people (enemies and comrades) in a tough situation to see how they would react. This makes him seem unapproachable. However, his charisma and loyalty earned him the respect and support of many in Mondstadt.

3 Zhongli (186.8 cm)

Zhongli is the latest mortal vessel that the Geo Archon, Morax, decided to use. Currently, he is a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and works for Hu Tao. But, millennia ago, he was known as the God of Contracts. Therefore, it is safe to assume that he witnessed a lot of Teyvat’s history and its wars.

Unfortunately, as he’s the God that created Mora, he never understood the value of money. As a result, when he gave up his Gnosis and decided to live his life like a mortal, Zhongli didn’t save some Mora for himself. Now, he has to rely on his acquaintances (mainly Tartaglia and Hu Tao) for financial support.

2 Tartaglia/Childe (187.0 cm)

Tartaglia is the Eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers and the most dangerous one out of all of them. He hails from a snowy region called Snezhnaya, where people worship the Cryo Archon, the Tsaritsa. Childe sees himself as her weapon in war and holds the Archon in high esteem.

He has a lust for battles and enjoys fighting strong opponents. Tartaglia is considered weird among his fellow Harbingers as most of them like to work in the shadows while he prefers being front and center. While he may appear as a stern character, he cares a lot about his family and often dotes on his three younger siblings, especially Teucer.

1 Arataki Itto (191.9 cm)

Arataki Itto takes the tallest character spot from Childe. Like Kujou Sara, Itto was also born with a youkai blood. But his is of Oni instead of Tengu.

As an Oni, he has very distinct red horns on his head. He also shared the trait of being allergic to soybean. However, as Arataki Itto is completely competitive for the most useless things possible, he would forget all his weaknesses to ensure that he wins. For example, he once ate a bowl of ramen that contained tofu just to save his pride.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
