What character can fly in Genshin Impact?
No character in Genshin Impact can fly freely the way a WoW mount does — every character uses the wind glider. But a few characters come close: Wanderer can hover and move through the air with his Elemental Skill, while Xianyun, Kaedehara Kazuha and Venti launch the party high into the air so you can glide much farther. Natlan also introduced characters with their own airborne movement, such as Chasca.
Characters with flight-like movement
- Wanderer — his Elemental Skill lifts him off the ground and lets him float and move in the air for a limited time.
- Xianyun — her skill makes her leap through the air in a series of jumps, ideal for crossing gaps and plunging attacks.
- Kaedehara Kazuha — his skill throws him upward; hold it for extra height before gliding.
- Venti — his skill creates an updraft that launches you upward (holding it sends you higher).
- Chasca — rides her weapon through the air in Natlan, letting her fly over terrain for a while.
Tips for getting around
- Increase stamina by offering Anemoculi and other oculi at Statues of the Seven — longer glides depend on stamina.
- Use wind currents and updrafts placed throughout the world.
- Wind Wings cosmetics only change the glider's look, not its speed.
FAQ
Can Anemo users fly?
Not freely. Several Anemo characters create updrafts or hover briefly, but none can fly without limits.
Can the Archons fly?
In the story the Archons are powerful gods, but as playable characters they use the same glider as everyone else; only some have skills that lift them up.
Is the Traveler a god?
No. The Traveler is a being from another world, not one of Teyvat's gods, though their true nature is one of the story's mysteries.
Who is the best character for exploration?
Wanderer and Xianyun are often considered the most convenient for crossing terrain, with Kazuha and Venti close behind.
