What does it mean to ship someone? To clarify this term, “shipping” is the act of wanting two or more celebs or fictional characters to engage in a relationship, usually romantic.
With the large pool of characters in Genshin Impact, it’s irresistible for the die-hard fans out there to not ship anyone, especially their most favorite individuals.
In this list, we introduce to you the top 17 best Genshin ships that have gathered lots of admirers like any other real-life famous people.
Disclaimer: Our Genshin Impact ship chart also includes same-sex duos. Those who find it disturbing may choose to overlook this tier list.
“He longs for a day to come when he will wear the mask and dance — not to conquer demons, but to the tune of that flute amidst a sea of flowers.”
Although Venti and Xiao have not interacted in the game at all, they are the answer when it comes to “what is the most popular Genshin ship?”.
In fact, Venti appears in Xiao’s Yaksha story as the savior of his life. While the latter was succumbing to corruption, it was the Barbatos’ Dihua flute that awakened him to sanity.
Ever since, fans cannot keep their hype down for this special connection.
Raiden Shogun is not an emotional character, or she just does not show this side of her. Though she seems like the most cold-hearted and lonely individual, Sara's loyal existence beside her makes them a favorite in the Genshin ship tier list.
Sara is often seen by Baal’s side and can do anything to sacrifice for her ruler. They may not look like a lovey-dovey pair, but there is a lot of trust in this relationship.
These two simply became one of the most favorite Genshin ships after Childe saved Lumine and said “Hey, girlie.” They ended up even more widespread after Childe Story Quest where Lumine befriends Childe and promises to visit him and his family in Snezhnaya.
There is also much fan content for ChiLumi. From fanfiction, fan-art, to comic dubs.
The Dandelion Knight is very shippable, and topping all famed Jean Genshin ships is probably Jeanluc.
Diluc admitted to having respect for Jean despite his hatred towards the Knights of Favonius. He even lets the Knight hold a party with free drinks to help Jean relax.
Moreover, it is unveiled that they both had pet tortoises as kids and many think the two grew up close.
There’s a reason why players always ask “Is Sucrose in love with Albedo?”. Apparently, Sucrose looks up to Albedo a lot and she is 100% smitten with his work.
Moreover, they both share a passion for alchemy and usually work together on research. Sucrose also understands his need to stay alone sometimes, which makes her look like an ideal partner for the Prince.
The top DPS character seemingly has a “harem” as he is also shipped with Traveler Aether, alongside many other characters. It was the moments of Xiao showing up after Aether calls his name and Xiao saving Aether that gained a plethora of whippers for them.
Moreover, Xiao is traumatized after a painful past and fans believe Aether will be there to support him. Needless to say, the two are the answer for "What is the most popular ship in Genshin Impact?".
Although Lumine and Ayaka shippers are many, Thoma and Ayaka dynamic has hyped up the community for a while.
Leaks previously stated that the two were fiancé. However, it was later confirmed that they are only close as friends. Despite this, Genshin Impact players have found some heart-melting moments between these two.
What makes Beiguang one of the well-known Genshin ships is they look good together and Beidou immensely respects Ningguang. They even have a joint secret business and usually get together.
Moreover, the pirate captain is the only person who can beat Ningguang at games. Besides, can you imagine how overwhelming it is if these hottest Genshin Impact characters are side by side?
Like Diluc and Jean, Chongyun and Xingqiu have a close friendship. The pair exists in every Genshin Impact ship chart as they spend lots of time together and are always displayed side-by-side in promotions.
Even little chef Xiangling also approves that the two are pretty interesting together.
Gorou and Itto are in the newest line of characters recently and their special connection has collected quite a fan base. It is also hinted that Itto has a crush on Gorou, or Miss Hina. The only problem is Itto has not known that the lady he considers his soulmate is actually Gorou in disguise.
Tell us you have never heard of these two as a Genshin Impact ship, and we'll know you are lying.
In case you have not known, Cyno and Tighnari arose as a fun duo after the release of Sumeru Map.
Their relationship is not made up as they are very close friends. They also trust each other and usually ask one another for opinions on various matters. Moreover, the two even share the same interest in the Genius Invokation TCG game.
Every detail points out that they can't be ruled out of the best Genshin ships list.
On many occasions, Neuvillette has shown that he understands Furina on an extremely personal level. He explained to the Traveler the reasonings behind her comments and everything she does. This is to make sure people who don't know her won't misunderstand her actions.
He also makes her safety his priority. The Hydro Archon and Neuvillette even share a similar color pallet with black, blue, and white. Their clothes also have the same color scheme. If there's any canon ship in Genshin Impact, it must be Furina and Neuvillette above all.
Kokomi and Kazuha are the INTPs of Genshin Impact. And while they are not too popular as a community ship, their chemistry is undeniable.
Kokomi views Kazuha as an outstanding swordsman and s a very refined character. In Kazuha's voice line for Kokomi, he mentions that everyone looks up to Kokomi during his time with the Resistance. The samurai also refers to Kokomi as "Her Excellency" in the most elegant way as possible.
Fans started shipping Kaeya and Rosaria after the 1.4 trailer showed them drinking together. Based on this information and Rosaria's voiceline about Kaeya, fans speculated that they are frequent drinking buddies.
The shippers enjoy their chemistry as two units who usually emit a mystery vibe but usually let loose around each other.
Although the duo did not have many interactions, the moment they shared was enough to stir the town.
In the Sumeru Archon Quest Chapter III, Act V, they had a small conversation exchange. Nilou praised Alhaitham as "the bravest and most passionate people of Sumeru, well, that... I've ever met!". Alhaitham also smiled at her to encourage her as she hesitated to dance in public.
If you are wondering about Genshin ships that are canon, unfortunately, the canon thing only exists between NPCs. Although the developers want to leave it to players' imagination, Wanderer and Faruzan are still one of the cutest ships in Genshin Impact.
Their lore is strikingly similar as both lost their families and were forgotten by almost everybody. Their interactions in update 3.6's event made fans irresistible from not shipping them.
Navia and Clorinde were childhood best friends. They used to play a tabletop game together and were joined at the hip. However, something happened and caused the friendship to somewhat fall apart.
Although they are not always together anymore, they still respect each other and reminisce about their old times.
“When we were young, we used to play a kind of tabletop game where she would be the adventurer and I the host. Playing things by ear has always come naturally to me — but all the same, I was often stumped by her decisions and the ripostes she came out with. But then again, that's what made it so interesting.”— Clorinde talking about Navia.
“She might not say much, or show a lot of emotion, but I can tell that she feels deeply. After my father's death, I... well, it caused quite a rift between us for a long time. But even then, I never did like having her constantly walking on eggshells around me... I much prefer how things are now.”— Navia’s Voiceline about Clorinde.
Some of our other favorite couples in Genshin Impact are Albedo x Kokomi, Xiao x Kazuha, Yoimiya x Ayaka, Bennett x Barbara, Keqing x Ganyu, Hu Tao x Zhongli, etc.
Not to surprise you, but there are currently 274 Genshin ships. The number will for sure grow along with the size of the character pool.
