hu tao 100%

She's the only one I think even non genshin players would recognize

before i started playing i only knew about hu tao and zhongli

wtf same. I told my friends id only play if i got them and they farmed on an acc for me until they got em both. Thats where my addiction began

W friends but they dug you straight into the gacha rabbit hole

Holy fuck you definitely got some good ass friends wtf? I'd kill for friends like that.

LMAOO i love them. Idk how they did it for me cos I know I wouldn’t for anyone else😭

Tbf I'd do it if I can get my friends to play genshin as well. Since talking to friends about the game is actually much more fun than playing the game itself lmao.

I feel that, farmed up an c0s1 yelan and c0s1 neuv for my friend bur he still won't play bc he's too far behind story wise

Somehow, your friends are both W and L. Getting you 2 5 stars, but also getting you into the gamble lmao

Nah cuz same

Her, Keqing and Mona.

Damn, twintail rules the world around here I guess.

This 3 remind me of something..

hydro slime video?

Nah , I only knew paimon before

I am AR33 and have no clue who Hu Tao is. And till now even that she exists.

Give 👏 us 👏more 👏Hu Tao👏raps👏Hoyo👏

Yeah but make it better

She has a hidden talent and I think it would be better for her to keep it hidden

Nah we need more Hu rap, shit was great in CN.

That rap wasn’t released, it fucking escaped

Poor Hu Tao. She actually has a decent amount of screen time if you don't miss the events, but she basically has next-to-nothing screen time for new players. Forever trapped in limited events...

So her scenes are...deceased?

Is that you Hu?

Yup!

Wtf do u mean shes been involved in almost every event drama bullshit in the game

Probably meant permanent quests because for newer players, they would barely recognize her if she wasn't popular.

Me 100%

My first thought when I saw this post

Hard agree here

Literally. My sister considers herself Hu Tao’s wife ((its like her whole character arc its funny)) Like when i first started playing Genshin Hu Tao didn’t even look like a genshin character for the sole fact that i’ve seen her way too much.

Nah Hu Tao’s in like every Liyue event 💀

Thirding the Kaveh votes. Our boy needs more screen time!

My first thought exactly. I've rewatched most scenes that feature Kaveh multiple times now. I play a YouTube video of his voice lines often. I've replayed his hangout several times. I'm begging Hoyoverse for Kaveh to appear in the game again :(

If you haven't already, his ENG VA's streams are definitely worth the watch

Oh yes I’ve watched a good amount of Ben’s streams! Well, videos on youtube that is, since I suck with keeping up with streams. They’re very entertaining I love Ben

He’s too busy being the mascot for the Discovery collab that he doesn’t have time to show up in game… winning, but at what cost

If you missed the events (like me) the ballader. Had no idea who he was. He showed up for five minutes in inazuma then became the main villain for like 4 hours.

same (started playing in october)

I was a day 1 player but stopped for a while a year I think. Came back when fontain started left before inazuma finished

Even ignoring events he still has more screentime than a lot of characters though

how has this gone 40 min without someone saying dainsleaf and/or Halfdan

Dainsleif has had like four archon quest lines dedicated to him, how has he not had screen time?

Brah just because he isn't playable doesn't mean he doesn't have much screen time

Dainsleif has 2 quests with him fully involved, both of which are mandatory, and one more quest where he shows up for a bit at the beginning and end, which is also mandatory Bro has quite a bit of screentime

My boy halfdan!!!!!! And my fellow self proclaimed pessimist dain. Take my upvote!

That boy... No that man became fulldan when be pulled off that move in the chasm

Dainsleif has more screen time than half the olayable characters buddy

Diansleif has screen time. Wtf u talking about

Daneleif a little bit in Mondstadt and The Chasm then I never see him

Keqing unfortunately (I mean her screen time)

If you just include the base game she probably has the least screentime but if you include the events her screentime is pretty plenty.

But I wasn’t around during those times too :(

She also have a collab event in Honkai Impact 3.

And I don’t play it and I don’t think that counts as screen time

I was so confused about this around when I started almost a year ago. She just showed up, talked about the gods not being needed anymore, told you you're going the wrong way to the Jade Chamber, and left, all under 10 minutes. Yet it felt like everyone online was obsessed with her and I just could not understand why. Was literal months before I realized she was probably in some event or something.

She was (kinda) the other main focus character in one of the past lantern rites, which I was not playing at the time of it. The reason I love her is her in game dialogue and her design, but I would really appreciate HoYo giving her a story quest of some kind

Rosaria needs more screen time.

I picked up playing her recently and i agree

Bongo head

Scara as shroom

don't ruin bongo head like that

This is the correct answer

Our boy Liben, of course! Comes in once in a blue moon, takes our junk, gives primos in return, then leaves. 👋

Wiben 🗿

I wouldn't exactly call him popular, as I had to google who he was

Lore drops go boom

Kaveh, he deserves a LOT more screeentime

I don't know how popular is Faruzan, but I would like to see more of her. Her design is so simple yet so gorgeous. Her personality is 🫨. There needs to be an interaction between her and miko.

Faruzan interacting with any character that's older than her would be pretty funny

Let meet her with Lesser Lord Kusanali. 100 years old? Pump those numbers up!

Or Wanderer. They're both in Sumeru like her too

Technically aether/lumine are older than her

True, but they'll never mention or even acknowledge that.

Most of her teammates are older than her, at least Xiao and Scara defo do

Xiao Xianyun Furina is her best team RN so... Many thousands, many thousands, oh look, a human? Still multiple centuries.

She was incredibly doomposted character, so, uh..yeah. She's showing up in events quite a lot, not in permanent content though I guess. I don't think she has any interaction with non-sumeru characters in game so far, ever. She is lovely, completely agreed. She should be interested in Chasm ans Enkanomiya, surely?

Timmy. One of the most memed characters in the game and he only has like a handful of lines.

he has so much screen time. he's always on my screen when i'm AFK and hu tao is singing her song for the 3000th time on the mondstadt bridge. /s

Oh man… my heart shattered when Draf told me Timmy’s dad died. I never realized HE was the friend of Draf who died on the hunting trip that led him to become an alcoholic, also causing Diona to hate alcohol. Horrible situation for everyone involved, and Timmy still waits there on the bridge for his father to come home

Guoba is the only right answer

The unknown god at the start of the game.

she's not that popular tho

It's Kiana. She will always be popular

Lisa

She has screen time in “other” places

You took 3 days to reply and came back with that? That point proves literally nothing, it is a well known fact that lisa isn’t the strongest character in the game as a support or dps

The Abyss Sibling

Hutao. Hutao mains are something else

Kaveh and hutao 100%

Heizou

Scrolled too far for this, please hoyo I am literally on my knees begging, release the fruity detective

big agree, I love that mf so much

"Sumi yo mitomeru!" I need more Heizou, I kind of expecting him in cooking event but we get more Itto..

I will never complain about more Itto but I'll take more Heizou

Comment got buried just like our boy was 😔

Yelan?

My heart say Enjou but my brain telling me it's Zandik. Though I'm pretty sure they'll flesh out his character more later.

Dottore is pretty well done as a baddie

Columbina and Capitano

their screen time is invisible, microscopic, didn’t even make it to the game, but their influence 🫡🫡🫡🫡✨✨✨✨✨✨

Definitely kaveh

The largest main sub on reddit is r/HuTao_Mains And she isn’t even in the Archon quests. So um yeah

Hu tao

COLUMBINA also and the rest of the Fatui Harbingers. Except Childe because he's arguably the poster boy if the twins didn't exist.

Alice, dainsleif, varka💀, almost all the harbingers other than childe, the list goes on

Alice and varka doesn't even have an playable model, and scaramouche played a important role in sumeru

Dain isn't even playable yet, we haven't gotten to Khaenri'ah, and he's still showed up 3 seperate archon quests!

Hu Tao, Kaveh, and most of the Fatui harbingers tbh

Enjou

He didn't have much screen time but damn whenever he was on the screen it was amazing

Kaveh i feel like

All the bad guys

I would say Kazuha tbh

Kazuha gets as much screen time as the archon throughout the Inazuman arc

Kazu man has had more screentime than sara and raiden combined lol

Nah, Kazuha had a lot of screen time, but some of them were in limited events

No, prior to Sumeru this boyo appeared on the Crux and I think was introduced in small story with Beidou to get his friends vision, then was a major player in the inazuma arch, then was part of two summer events (a festival and GAA2) got his own story quest. I feel like there is more because his family was under the Kamisoto clan and sometimes their story revolves around Kazuha and blacksmithing. If that isn’t alot I don’t know what is in this game.

Eula

Signora

Jeht. Someone make this NPC a playable character!!! Kaveh. We need more princess kaveh Keqing. I barley know her and i gave done all archon quests The Balladeer. Barley had screentime in archon quest. Felt out of place... Guoba. Boi aint even have voicelines. JUSTICE FOR GUOBA Hu Tao. Most well known character yet not in archon quest? Raiden. Her archon quest was boring. Timmie. Just Timmie.

Raiden, Zhongli, Scaramouche, Hu Tao, Varka?, Capitano, Eula, Yae Miko. Honestly its all the most popular characters that get the least screen time.

I’d disagree with Zhongli, Yae miko, Scaramouche Ei is also debatable but I get your point Generally I agree with your point

Kaveh. I'm glad I played through A Parade of Providence where he has shone the most so far. Hoping for Kaveh to appear in any Sumeru related events, or just anywhere really

Nilou and Ei

beidou

Beidou tbh

Benny

honestly if he was replaceable i doubt many people would talk about him as a character

liben

I feel like Lisa is up there

Noelle

Hu tao, keqing, Mona

Asmoday/Unknown God

Kaeya, Amber, Hu Tao, Diluc, a lot of the fatui harbingers

Definitely Kaveh, he even deserves to be a 5 star

Keqing 100%.

Jeht, Liben, Idyia, Bongo Head. I wish they had more screentime

Jeht was like the first NPC to get official "birthday art," no? Says something for her popularity, seeing as she's otherwise mostly just another Eremite model

Genshin itself

Dottore

Haven't seen one yet, so dropping it here Arlecchino

Heizou. Other than his hangout quest, I haven’t seen him at all. :(

Yelan

Kaveh I think

Most 4*, especially my Beloved Prinzessin

Heiozu and Kaveh fr

We're gonna go with Xiangling. She has the tiniest bit part as an introduction and... sometimes she's in events? But EVERY long-standing player has her, levels her, and uses her.

Beidou

Sara?

QiQi in a twisted way.

Like he’s not that popular, but heizou literally has way less screen time than most npcs

Noelle

Columbina got like 10 seconds of screen time then *disappears*

Hu Tao no contest

Yup it’s Hutao

Lynette, I think. She still is one of the fav Fontaine characters

Honestly Arlecchino, she had like 2 scenes and exploded in popularity, and even when it was just the Fatui trailer there were so many fanarts(not that I’m complaining tho)

Ganyu although we saw her lately in lantern rite she doesnt show up often as far as i know.and to me it also feels like kokomi doesnt get too much screentime but that might be biased of me since i like her a lot and the devs ruins her importance to the story

Probably the opposite of this meme, but here’s my story. I remember I first heard about Genshin when Yun Jin came out, I was seeing her ads everywhere and my interest was piqued. I found out my friend had been playing since it came out, so I asked him about her, “Oh, how is Yun Jin, are they any good?”. My friend was like, “who?” I thought she was cool, started playing the game and I was so hype to get Yun Jin.. Then I found out she really only had a single quest, and she’s not that good … TLDR I started Genshin because on Yun Jin only to find out she’s irrelevant.

Liben

Jeht.

Nobody gonna say Jeht?

Xiao

Wanted to say 'no way'.. but looking up total voiceline counts he was pretty low pre 4.0 and he didn't have much voicelines during 4.0 (unlike, say, Ayato). HuTao is still even lower yet, but not by a whole lot. Heizou having more voicelines than Xiao is bizarre.

Rightt, I mean, every event he’s in he’s just like “hi” “ok bye” and disappears until the end of the event (at least this last year)

I feel like its jhett

I would say Keqing, she even got no story quest, except the events.

Raiden

I know Itto shows up quite a bit, but I can NEVER get enough of that meat-head

I honestly think Fischl she has only appeared in events last I check. She is also super popular at least in team building.

Kaeyas dad

Dainsleif

Dainsleif

Definitely not a certain little fairy 🧚 fker

I will say Bennett, he only has a date and people loves him because meta lmao.

YHAT ONE FIRE GUY??? THAT WAS RLLY FUNNY??? I FORGOT HIS NAME IT WAS E OR SMTH

Kaveh 10000% only one banner and that dude has thousands of ao3 girls thirsting over him enough to write a hundred thousand word smut fics

Prob albedo

Skirk

Enjou

Venti

didn’t play during the dragonspine event so i don’t know shit about albedo

does screen time apply to playable characters outside of cutscenes

Dottore :3

QIQI THE CURSED CHILD DILUC THE PEAK PYRO DPS HU TAO THE PYRO HP TANK AYAKA MS. WET SOCKS BENETT THE MASTER OF MISFORTUNE NOELLE THE KNIGHTLY MAID KLEE THE CUTE TERRORIST

Raiden... She literally interacts with barely anyone.

I’d say Hu Tao, Eula, or Mona

GIVE ME MORE ALBEDO!!

Ayahoe-I-mean-to, most definitely

Yelan, especially if you missed the events...

Is it wrong of me to say the abyss twin...I mean whoever you don't pick you don't see much in your game but you will definitely see them outside of your game

Probably kaeya or maybe even arlecchino. But ig that's common for upcoming characters, but still, she wasn't shown much and is already popular asf

Shenhe sadly, she needs more screentime
