Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Standard 5-Star Selector Guide

To maximize your account's combat efficiency in Genshin Impact version 7.1, choose a standard 5-star character constellation for a unit you already use rather than unlocking a new C0 character for your collection. Strengthening an active Dendro DPS like Tighnari or a team-wide healer like Jean provides immediate value in endgame modes like the Spiral Abyss.

Character	Ideal Role	Key Strengths & Synergies	Selection Priority
Tighnari	Dendro Reaction DPS	High single- and multi-target Spread damage; straightforward rotation	High (if lacking Dendro DPS or seeking C1+)
Jean	Anemo Healer / Support	Team-wide Burst healing; debuff cleanse; C2 speed & C4 Anemo RES shred; strong Furina synergy	High (if running HP-fluctuation teams or seeking C2/C4)
Dehya	Pyro Tank / Enabler	Unique damage mitigation; Burgeon and defensive Pyro setup utility	Niche (only with core supports like Bennett or Xiangling ready)

Standard 5-Star Character Recommendations

Tighnari: Consistent Dendro Output

Tighnari is the primary choice if your account needs reliable Dendro damage. He operates efficiently in fast-paced Spread reaction teams and maintains high damage uptime without requiring complex skill sequences.

Base Value: Offers immediate, low-maintenance Dendro application for single-target and multi-target combat.
Constellation Scaling: Early constellations directly boost his critical rate, critical damage, and overall output, keeping him competitive across difficult Abyss lineups.

Jean: Essential Support and Healing

Jean serves as a powerful utility pick, particularly for lineups that rely on party-wide HP changes.

Healing and Cleansing: Her Elemental Burst restores health to all party members simultaneously while cleansing active debuffs.
Furina Synergy: Because Furina's damage buff scales with party-wide HP changes, Jean’s Burst rapid-stacking capability makes her a top defensive pairing.
Key Constellations: Her C2 grants attack and movement speed bonuses, while her C4 delivers Anemo Resistance shred, turning her into a high-tier offensive support.

Dehya: Niche Defensive Utility

Dehya provides specialized damage-mitigation mechanics rather than pure offensive power or burst healing.

Role Requirements: She fits best into specialized setups, such as Burgeon triggers or defensive Pyro teams, where taking reduced direct damage helps sustain long rotations.
Prerequisites: Select Dehya only if you already possess her required support cores, such as Bennett or Xiangling, to complement her kit.

How to Choose Your Free Character

Follow these evaluation steps before confirming your selector choice:

Audit Your Main Teams: Identify whether your primary Spiral Abyss rosters lack a dedicated Dendro carry (choose Tighnari) or a party-wide healer (choose Jean).
Evaluate Constellation Thresholds: Check if unlocking Jean's C2 or C4, or Tighnari's damage-boosting constellations, yields a direct combat upgrade over adding a benchmark C0 character.
Avoid Pure Collection Picks: Unlocking standard 5-star units just to complete your roster splits upgrade materials across characters you rarely field. Prioritize "force multipliers" that enhance your existing main carries.
