Favorite characters gameplay wise?

Hello! I just returned to star rail after a super long break. I only played when it was pretty new.

I decided to try out Yunli a few times and snagged her to play. I couldn’t be happier with that choice because I havnt had a single character be so interactive/fun to play with in the game.

Having to think about when to counter with each enemy type or parrying before a fight starts is really fun, as is blocking an attack that should CC her but she just smacks down a giant melt sandwich instead. (Healing her with lynx followed by her ult going off always makes me laugh cutting it off to say “thanks for the…MELT” anyways…

What are your favorite characters gameplay wise to use? I realized I very much prefer the gameplay aspect above most else and would love to hear about anyone else’s favorites to use.

There’s so many new characters now so I wanted to ask as most posts I see regarding this are over a year old and I’m hoping there’s some other cool characters/combos out there.
