What is Geo Character in Genshin Impact?

Geo characters are versatile and powerful characters that provide a lot of utility and damage in Genshin Impact. They are a deal breaker who wants to add a bit more defense to squishy damage dealers. Players who wish to use the Geo element will require the Geo characters.

These Geo characters are kind of less picked & focused in the current META due to limited reaction with other elements. However, Geo characters are best for solid defense for their tanky shields & keep the team healthy from lethal damage in any fight.

Geo characters build robust structures to shield against enemy attacks so that players can take cover to stand and offer elemental reactions. The characters are also effective against other Geo constructs for their Geo damage.

However, some specific opponents can destroy his Solar Isotoma Platform.
