As a seasoned Traveler who's face-planted into one too many Hilichurl camps, I can confirm that nothing ruins your Teyvat picnic faster than getting swarmed by angry mobs. Thankfully, after years of trial-and-error (mostly error), I've discovered the ultimate AoE specialists who turn group battles into fireworks displays 💥. Let's dive into the champions who make crowd control look like performance art!

🔟 Venti: The OG Crowd Pleaser

• Element: Anemo | Weapon: Bow

This bard doesn't just play tunes—he plays puppeteer! His black hole Burst still reigns supreme for vacuuming up lightweight enemies. Watching slimes get sucked into his vortex never gets old, though heavier foes might just chuckle at his efforts. Pro tip: Pair him with Kazuha for Anemo supremacy!

9️⃣ Tartaglia: Hydro's Whirlpool King

• Specialty: Riptide AoE chaining

Don't let his "overshadowed" reputation fool you—his Hydro application turns mobs into dominoes. Each Riptide mark explodes on nearby enemies, creating chain reactions that'd make Michael Bay jealous. His secret? Applying Hydro through EVERYTHING: NAs, CAs, Skills—even his sneeze probably triggers reactions.

8️⃣ Ganyu/Ayato: The AFK Rainmakers

• Ganyu: Cryo nuke rain | Ayato: Hydro blender

These siblings-in-AoE let you sip tea while their Bursts do the work. Ganyu's icicle shower turns terrains into skating rinks ❄️, while Ayato's circular downpour makes him a walking car wash. Their secret sauce? Zero effort required—just deploy and watch the damage numbers bloom.

7️⃣ Lyney: Pyro's Flamboyant Maestro

• Weapon: Bow | Talent: Explosive elegance

HoYoVerse poured sorcerous detail into Lyney—those hypnotic eyes with unprecedented shimmer (check the gloss!) and a wardrobe that puts Fontaine fashionistas to shame. But beyond aesthetics, his Skill/Burst combo detonates groups like pyro piñatas. Stack those Grimoires and poof—enemies vanish faster than his disappearing bunnies 🎩✨.

6️⃣ Keqing/Alhaitham: Electro-Dendro Duet

• Keqing: Lightning circus | Alhaitham: Mirror barrage

Teleportation + circular Bursts = these two treat battlefields like dance floors. Keqing’s Electro slashes spread Aggravate carnage, while Alhaitham’s mirrors turn groups into pincushions. Proximity? Overrated—they strike from across the arena!

5️⃣ Xiao: Plunge Party Starter

• Signature Move: Yaksha slam dunk

Activate his Burst and suddenly everyone’s invited to his plunge party! His shockwaves turn tight spaces into bounce houses 🏀. Warning: May cause severe motion sickness (for you, not him).

4️⃣ Ayaka: Cryo’s Blender Queen

• Special: Charged attack vacuum

Her Burst isn’t a storm—it’s a Cuisinart set to "puree." Freeze teams amplify her mob-shredding prowess, and her unique CA slices enemies like air—no contact needed!

3️⃣ Xiangling: The 4-Star Who Outshines 5s

• Claim to Fame: Beyblade Pyronado

Guoba’s BFF spins death circles that vaporize everything. She’s the ultimate F2P MVP—pair with Bennett for a 5-star worthy fireworks show 🎆.

2️⃣ Neuvillette: Hydro’s Tactical Nuke

• Playstyle: Kamehameha simulator

His Charged Attack isn’t a beam—it’s a delete button. Aimable, wide, and brutally overpowered. Using him feels like bringing a tsunami to a water gun fight 💧☔️.

1️⃣ Nilou: Bloom’s Orchestra Conductor

• Mechanic: Bountiful Core detonations

She doesn’t fight—she choreographs explosions. With Dendro+Hydro teams, her Blooms become nukes with stadium-sized radii. Just tap skills and enjoy the floral fireworks 🌸💣. Efficiency rating: Lazy genius approved!

Why AoE Dominates in 2025's Spiral Abyss

Recent Abyss cycles love throwing:

• Wave after wave of elemental shields

• Geovishap gang squads

• Frostarm Lawachurl group hugs

Without these AoE legends, you’ll spend more time swapping characters than dealing damage. Trust me—I’ve been the guy frantically sprinting between scattered enemies while the timer laughs 😅. So grab your crowd controllers, invest in their Bursts, and turn Teyvat’s mobs into your personal fireworks fuel!
