With each new update, the character roster in Genshin Impact grows, bit by bit. The game now features a formidable cast of characters of all shapes, sizes, and elements. While there are plenty of coveted, new, and limited five-star characters coming out, such as Chiori, there are also plenty of new four-star characters available permanently, like Gorou, the Watatsumi General.

Gorou is Genshin Impact's first Geo Bow user, and his introduction certainly adds a lot of new strategies to the game. Gorou is primarily a Support character, and he shines on a team with multiple Geo characters. If you're feeling unsure of who to bring with him, consider these team members to make the most of Gorou's support capabilities.

Updated on March 26, 2024, by Sanyam Jain: Ever since the start of Genshin Impact, Geo has felt like the most neglected element, which makes the lack of team members you can use with him not a surprise. Thankfully, during the Version 4.5 update, a new addition came through in the form of Chiori.

8 Xinyan

If you have Xinyan, she's a great four-star character you can use on a Gorou team. Thanks to Gorou's buffs, combined with Geo Elemental Resonance, Xinyan's shield capabilities will be stronger.

Xinyan can also create Crystallize shards because she's a Pyro character. It's a good idea to consider how you're building her, and to look into equipping her with the Sacrificial Greatsword so that she can use her Elemental Skill and possibly end the skill cooldown immediately.

7 Ningguang

Ningguang is a solid Geo character who can hit hard and fill multiple roles thanks to her versatility. She can be your main DPS in any party, but with Gorou she's especially powerful, thanks to his abilities gaining a boost from the number of Geo users in your party.

Ningguang shoots Geo gems that stack Star Jades. You can accumulate these to use charged attacks that deal extra damage. Gorou's Elemental Skill provides a DEF stat boost and resistance to interruption since you'll have at least two Geo party members (Ningguang and Gorou), so you can focus on dealing more and more damage with Ningguang after activating Gorou's skill.

6 Geo Traveler

Sometimes overlooked, the Geo Traveler can be a great Sub-DPS in a Gorou team composition. Since Gorou is a Support character, he heavily relies on his Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill to propel your team's capabilities. This is where the Geo Traveler comes in.

Besides their Elemental Burst, which increases damage done on the field, the Geo Traveler can also provide energy for Gorou, making it easier to activate his Elemental Burst more frequently. However, you might find far less use for this character if you have a couple of other units on this list like Albedo, Chiori, or Itto.

5 Noelle

Noelle is one of Genshin Impact's free characters. She's a guaranteed pull in your first ten wishes on the beginner banner, so everyone has her. However, that doesn't mean she's a pushover at all. In fact, it's quite the opposite and she makes both a great DPS and healing character for your Gorou team composition.

This makes her a valuable addition to your Gorou team since she uses Geo. Noelle has a hefty DEF stat, an auto-shield talent that creates a shield around whichever character is active once their HP drops below a certain threshold, and her Elemental Skill summons a shield around her while also healing your party. She's a solid character to lean on, to take the brunt of the damage while also dishing out a hearty amount of it and keeping your team on their feet.

4 Zhongli

Definitely more of a premium character being a limited five-star character, Zhongli has a very powerful Elemental Burst, a useful Elemental Skill, and he's a Geo character, meaning having him on your team can work towards maximizing the benefits of Gorou's arsenal.

Zhongli does a moderate amount of damage, and it's ideal to build him as shield support, especially in this sort of team. With Geo Elemental Resonance, combined with Gorou's buffs, Zhongli's support capabilities go from great to incredible. Zhongli's shield Elemental Skill cooldown is short enough that it can protect you almost constantly, and with the added buffs from Gorou's skills, your enemies don't stand a chance.

3 Albedo

The Chalk Prince Albedo is a Geo sword user with unique capabilities who would be right at home with Gorou on a team. Albedo's Elemental Skill creates flowers that deal Geo damage to enemies you attack within its Area of Effect.

When used in conjunction with Gorou's Elemental Skill and a total of three Geo party members, this damage can be buffed further, setting up explosive amounts of damage constantly. Plus, Albedo can help generate Energy Particles so that Gorou's Elemental Burst can be used more frequently.

2 Chiori

Gorou finally got an addition to his possible team members a long time after his initial release during the Version 4.5 update. Chiori is an off-field DPS unit scaling on DEF and relying on her Tamoto to deal most of the damage. However, if you get her on Constellation Six, you can also use her as the main DPS.

The best scenario would be to use both Chiori and Gorou alongside a third DEF-scaling main DPS like Noelle or Arataki Itto. You can then fill the fourth slot with another element's off-field DPS or another Geo character if you have Itto's second constellation.

1 Arataki Itto

The Geo character that got released alongside Gorou in the game for the first time is none other than Claymore-wielding Arataki Itto. He's a unique and stylish character with a fun personality and powerful capabilities that perfectly complement Gorou. Plus, since he has a Claymore, that means he'll also be handy outside of combat if you're planning on mining some ore while out on the field.

If you have Itto, you can use him as a solid DPS. His Elemental Skill is a taunt with his bull, Ushi, that can help you with crowd control, but also, the more damage that gets dealt to Ushi, the more of a strength buff he gets, letting him unleash a devastating charged attack. Then you can unleash Itto's Elemental Burst attack. Throughout all this, Gorou's buffs make Itto a stronger and better DPS who keeps the heat on your enemies.
