Furina has overtaken Neuvillette as the most-picked character in Floor 12 with a whopping 89.7% usage rate in Genshin Impact. The Chief of Justice and everyone's favorite Hydro Dragon isn't far behind with an 86.1% usage rate. This statistic is followed by the best supports in the current metagame: Kazuha and Baizhu. While the former has a 76.8% usage rate, the latter's is 71.5%.

Both of them have great cooperation with Furina and Neuvillette when it comes to team composition. Additionally, all four units also form the most used team in the latest Floor 12.

As shown in the list, many characters have gone up or down a few positions. The current enemy line-up heavily favors Hydro and Dendro characters in Genshin Impact, resulting in a temporary downfall of popular units like Bennett, Hu Tao, and Ayaka.

Ayaka falling behind in usage rate has been a shocking result of the survey. This 5-star Cryo DPS only has a 10% usage rate and has been greatly overshadowed by Wriothesley, who is another Cryo DPS with a usage rate over 23.4% in the Genshin Impact 4.2 update.

Notably, this data set is based on statistics updated on December 02, 2023, and will probably undergo minor changes when Spiral Abyss (Phase II) resets again.
