What's wrong with Genshin’s standard five stars? And how could they fix them?

With the release of Mizuki in version 5.4, Hoyo finally added a new standard five star — almost two years since they added Dehya — and it got me thinking about the older ones, and how they compare to the rest of the characters. Now that we’ll be getting a standard five star selector with every major update, these characters are genuinely free-to-play friendly — even more so than many four stars, especially the ones who improve a lot with higher constellations — yet they barely ever get mentioned in any discussions. Are we right to ignore them? Let’s take a look. 00:00 Intro 00:32 What we'll cover 00:55 Jean • Intended role 01:49 Jean • Flaws & drawbacks 02:30 Jean • Constellations 02:52 Jean • Verdict 03:48 Tighnari • Intended role 04:10 Tighnari • Flaws & drawbacks 04:37 Tighnari • Constellations 04:51 Tighnari • Verdict 05:46 Keqing • Intended role 06:06 Keqing • Flaws & drawbacks 06:47 Keqing • Constellations 07:08 Keqing • Verdict 07:39 Mona • Intended role 08:06 Mona • Flaws & drawbacks 08:44 Mona • Constellations 09:09 Mona • Verdict 09:50 Diluc • Intended role 10:06 Diluc • Flaws & drawbacks 10:47 Diluc • Constellations 11:09 Diluc • Verdict 11:55 Qiqi • Intended role 12:13 Qiqi • Flaws & drawbacks 12:52 Qiqi • Constellations 13:08 Qiqi • Verdict 13:47 Dehya • Intended role 14:22 Dehya • Flaws & drawbacks 15:52 Dehya • Constellations 16:13 Dehya • Verdict 17:29 Mizuki 18:04 Conclusion Genshin Impact is an open-world action/exploration game, available on PC, PS4, PS5 and mobile devices (iOS & Android).
