Genshin Impact is a popular game known for its immersive gameplay, interesting stories, and background information. The Archons are essential characters in the game’s storyline.
They are potent gods who govern the different regions of Tevyat, and each one represents a specific element. This list has ranked the Archons from the least powerful to the most powerful. Let’s discover who is considered the strongest Archon in Genshin Impact.
7. Venti
Surprisingly, Venti is considered the least powerful Archon in Genshin Impact. He used to be in charge of Mondstadt, a place known for wind and freedom.
However, since freedom and ruling don’t go together, Mondstadt and its people are now independent of Archon’s control. This means Venti isn’t seen as vital because the people of Mondstadt have the power to determine their fate. He is frail. In the story quest “La Signora,” the 8th Harbinger could steal and trounce his Gnosis.
Even though he used to be one of the strongest Archons and could create destructive black holes, we never really saw his true power because he rarely fights and has very little strength remaining. That’s why he is considered the weakest Archon in the game.
6. Nahida
Nahida is the second Dendro Archon of the Nation of Wisdom, Sumeru. At the beginning of the Sumeru storyline, it was made clear that Nahida isn’t physically strong like other Archons. However, she is known for her wisdom.
People say she is one of the wisest individuals in Teyvat and cares deeply for her people. Before Nahida, the original Archon of Sumeru was called “The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.”
In the story quest, we learn that Nahida came from an Irminsul branch, where Rukkhadevata’s consciousness and the history of Teyvat’s memories are stored. Venti once said, “The more people worship Archons, the more powerful they’ll be.”
Since Rukkhadevata’s passing, the people of Sumeru stopped worshipping Nahida and rejected her as their god. That’s why she isn’t considered a strong Archon in Genshin Impact.
5. Focalors
Focalors is the ruler of Fontaine, a place known for justice and water powers. We don’t know much about her personality, but she has a unique way of doing things and likes to be present during trials in her nation.
Focalors was mentioned by Nahida during a story quest, saying, “There’s a chief justice in Fontaine. Generally speaking, the Hydro Archon Focalors won’t preside over individual trials. However, even then, Focalors will make her present at just about every trail.”
Our Genshin Impact 4.0 article talked about Focalors’ design and unique personality, but there isn’t much information about her yet. Fontaine is coming on August 16, so we’ll have to wait and see how strong she is. Based on what we know so far, it seems reasonable to say that Focalors is the fifth most powerful Archon on this list.

4. Murata
Murata is the leader of Natlan, a nation known for its warlike nature. We don’t know much about Murata except her fiery personality. In the Genshin Impact manga, Venti mentions interacting with her and describes her as occasionally annoying.
We know that the people of Natlan, including Murata, have red hair and muscular bodies. Venti talks about this in the manga called ‘Songs of the Wind.’
He mentions how warriors from different tribes honor Murata through combat rituals and celebrate victories in her name. Venti also jokingly refers to her as obnoxious.
While we can’t accurately measure her power based on this information, considering her description and characteristics, we could speculate that she is the fourth strongest Archon in Genshin Impact’s world of Teyvat.
3. Ei, the Raiden Shogun
The Raiden Shogun is the ruler of a place called Inazuma, which has six islands. Before becoming the Electro Archon, the current ruler Ei had a sister named Raiden Makoto, who died during a big war.
Ei was very sad and isolated herself in a particular place called the Plane of Euthymia. She made two puppets to take care of Inazuma while she stayed there.
Ei didn’t like progress because it reminded her of the person she lost, so she wanted things to remain the same forever. She made a puppet named Scaramouche, but she let him go because he cried when he was born (in the story).
Then she made the Raiden Shogun because she wanted something that didn’t have emotions like humans and could go against the gods’ rules. The story says she defeated a snake god called Orobashi from Khaenri’ah with just one decisive strike.
She also killed La Signora, an essential member of the Harbingers group, with just one strike. This shows how mighty Raiden Ei/Shogun is. That’s why we think she is the third strongest Archon in Genshin Impact.”

2. Zhongli
The debate between Zhongli and Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact has been going on for a while, but we’re here to settle it. As someone who plays Raiden Shogun, I think Zhongli is slightly more powerful than her, and I’ll explain why.
Zhongli, also known as Morax, lives in the wealthy lands of Liuye and now resides among regular people after the long Archon War in Teyvat 500 years ago.
According to the lore, Morax can defeat other gods and has sealed them away. He created the Yaksha, who helped him in the great Archon War. He also made Azhdaha, a creature who fought alongside him but was sealed away when he lost his memories and became dangerous.
It’s said that Morax used large rocks from Guyun stone as spears to defeat his enemies during the war. Additionally, he’s the oldest Archon, having been an Archon for almost 6,000 years! So, he deserves the second spot on the list of the strongest Archons in Genshin Impact.
1. The Tsaritsa – Strongest Genshin Impact Archon
The Tsaritsa, also known as the Cryo Archon, is considered the strongest Archon in Teyvat. She rules the nation of Snezhnaya and has a group of followers called the Fatui.
The Tsaritsa used the Fatui to intimidate other countries. Among her followers are potent individuals known as “The Harbingers,” some of whom have abilities comparable to gods.
What makes the Tsaritsa the strongest Archon is that she has obtained three gnoses (symbols of power) belonging to other gods: Anemo, Electro, and Geo. She plans to “burn away the old world” and seize authority from the gods in Celestia.
The Tsaritsa’s most potent followers are the 11 Harbingers in the Fatui. So far, we have encountered four of them: Tartaglia (11th), Scaramouche (6th), La Signora (8th) (who is no longer alive), and Dottore (2nd). We will likely meet and fight Arlecchino (10th) in Fontaine, the Nation of Justice.
Overall, the Tsaritsa’s immense following, her possession of other gods’ gnoses, and the power of her Harbingers make her easily the most powerful Archon in Genshin Impact.
