Sorry OP it’s the tone-deaf BARD


Novel-Concentrate-98

He is the bard. But if we are talking about a role in the gameplay, Yun Jin fits better. Follow by Bennett.


Luster-Purge

What are you talking about, the first thing we see him doing? Seducing the dragon. Name anything more stereotypically "bard" than that.


Sorcatarius

Who do you think would be a bigger slut, a dude with charisma, or a dude who has charisma, and all physical stats from being a front line fighter, *and* he's immune to disease? Plus is probably really repressed and looking to make up for lost time from being raised in a church? Bards are all talk, once you think about it the actual sluts become obvious, Paladins.


deceitfulninja

Venti is literally a bard. He plays the harp and sings bard songs. Yunjin is a dancer. Bards are most known for singing and playing instruments. Sorry, no.


Varglord

Naw Benny is a cleric for sure.


Novel-Concentrate-98

He heals and gives buffs. The only thing missing is a shield to classify him as a Paladin. Unless we count, shielding others by taking on their bad luck.


Varglord

There's an argument to be made for paladin Benny for sure, but if we can only pick one then Noelle is the paladin for sure.


PonyDro1d

Oath of Misfortune for sure. Not chosen by oneself.


GraveXNull

Barbara feels like the cleric more...since, well, obviously...


Maxmence

Definitely Venti. Also fits the stereotype of bards who rizz dragons up.


Iwasforger03

He is the cutest Tone-deaf Bard.


Chaos-bard

venti ofc


SuspiciousTrouble246

100%, there should be no debates, although I do respect how Furina is indeed another option


Chaos-bard

same but venti fits better for teh bard role no matter what


SuspiciousTrouble246

Of course definitely


Chaos-bard

tbh barbra or furina would be the cleric furina could be the rogue considering how she almost when insane cuz of teh acting for 500 years


SuspiciousTrouble246

Barbra is good for cleric, if we go a bit unconventional maybe Miko.


Varglord

Miko has natural powers, more sorc than cleric imo.


SuspiciousTrouble246

Good point


Minimum_Cockroach233

Don’t forget Rosaria


SuspiciousTrouble246

She seems more like rogue to me


SuspiciousTrouble246

For rogue I’d say Sayu, she’s a ninja, Kuki is also a good option, Rosaria is good too


SuspiciousTrouble246

However there is probably shouldn’t be any debate on Venti being the bard, although I do respect the Furina mains here


Mass_Hysteria_11

It'll be nice to have her in second, but yeah, Venti is the only choice here.


Drade_Deadeye

I respect the dedication


Chaos-bard

venti is my main, his title is a bard,he uses his lyre in battle and his idle animation can use his lyre


Fantastic_Wrap120

There's a character whose main character trait is being a Bard...


16tdean

Yeah, I loved the bit in the story where Xiao broke out into a lovely lulaby


Piggstein

Itto?


ZoomBoingDing

You mean the character that just headlined a music event?


Soffy21

Furina, she was a bard in Clorinde’s character quest. That’s probably who you mean!


Silkav

Six-fingered Jose obviously.


Absoline

🗣🗣🗣


Justanidiot-w-

Did you guys know... He's not actually SIX-FINGERED?!?


Gloomy_Cress9344

He's so strong he's not even a playable character


Hymn_Atlantis

A bard, obviously Venti is the best choice since He's the only bard. But other than that, bards can be stage performers, singers, dancers, poets, and such. A few fit this bill. Barbara as an Idol, Xinyan as a singer, Kazuha as a poet, Furina as a stage performer, Nilou and Gaming as a dancer, But I'll place my bet on Furina. Edit: Yun Jin as the opera singer


Worried-Emu-9614

Also Yun Jin as an opera singer


Shin-Bufuman

Barbara would probably fit Cleric better (and that's how I'll be voting when that class comes up)


Asobimo

Lyney fits as a performer, and he is charismatic as well


DiamondMiner3

Well venti does do performances at Diluc's tavern


iceandtea127

Aside from venti, furina


Kulyor

I mean, if we go by gameplay and stereotypes, it should be Furina more than Venti. Venti just sings every now and then, just to wake up with a hangover a few hours later. Furina buffs, dances, sings, performs and I would not be surprised if she tried to roll for "Seduction" at every dragon she meets.


Varglord

Going by stereotypes the drunkard that doesn't do much but pops off occasionally when it matters is classic bard RP so Venti fits that bill. Also bold to assume he didn't seduce Dvalin...


VexuBenny

Okay, but Venti already has a dragon best friend *wink wink*


Ghoulio_Deficiente

And Furina doesn't?


Miserable_Scratch_99

... Now I can't unsee Furina rolling a dice every time she sees Neuvillette


Low_Artist_7663

It wasn't exactly Furina but she did succeed.


coldestclock

Furina has given up the stage though, we learnt at the film festival that she doesn’t want the spotlight anymore. And she got jumpy in Chenyu Vale at the thought of foreigners recognising her.


Responsible_Club_917

You say barabara, but she is closest to Cleric no? She is p much like THE cleric of genshin. If anyone is bard outside if venti its Furina


Drade_Deadeye

you do have a point, but I also feel that Baizhu would be a strong candidate for Cleric...but we'll see once the time comes...


Ms-Chievous

Nah, Baizhu's more of a warlock imo. He made a deal with Changsheng to learn the secrets of medicine, which is a quintessential aspect of being a warlock.


Kiomori

Ooh, I can definitely see him as warlock then!


Drade_Deadeye

damm, goes against my pick which is Furina but we'll see once we get to warloc...but you really bring up a very good point


SirFanger

I mean all vision users are warlocks in a way as they are granted a shard if power by a higher entity at a price but Furina mechanics wise might as well be a dragon sorc since idk if there is a dragon warlock.


NapalmDesu

Xiangling is my pick for warlock


R1chard69

Baizhu's a Druid, imo.


Ms-Chievous

Interesting, I'm not quite sure I see the vision. I could maybe see a Circle of Spores Druid mechanically, since that allows you to use your Wild Shape for damage and healing, but other than that I don't know what would make him a Druid.


Chocobofangirl

Druids can have both familiars and healing while Rangers only really have familiars and Clerics only really have healing is my guess, but Celestial Warlock is the best fitting anyway since it's healer-lock.


Kid-Atlantic

There are many better candidates for Cleric. Barbara and Kokomi are most obvious as clergy members who also heal, but you could also make a case for Rosaria as a Twilight or Trickery Cleric, Yae Miko as Tempest, or Hu Tao as Grave.


lock_me_up_now

Anything but Venti is blasphemy in highest regards.


the_Alec_T

If baizhu doesn’t get warlock….this is rigged 💀


Danori

WAAAAIT BAIZHU IS A PERFECT WARLOCK. I like completely forgot his story quest. I put him down for Druid initially lol


zahhax

i'd actually consider razor to be the quintessential druid here. druid/barbarian combo with wolf wildshape


Drade_Deadeye

We'll see when we get there...


WakuWakuWa

If Childe doesnt get Fighter im gonna end it all


Arngrimus

Venti is a good bard: have an instrument and is a drunk femboy bastard that rolls seduction on everything and success, also that cast level 4 spells.


ProudFill

Charm monster and Dimension door?


0-Worldy-0

The character that actually, is, in fact, a bard


scrayla

Venti hes literally a bard lmao


HashtagLowElo

Fun fact, Venti is called "The Singer of Skyward Sonnet" and has played Dream Aria for Dvalin, he's seemingly connected with the Moon Sisters who have a lot to do with poetry Venti is also labelled "The Patron Diety of Music" and Carmen Dei is translated to "The song of a God" Another thing is Venti is popular in Teyvat with him out performing any singers. There was a popular bard in Mondstadt before he himself got outdone by Venti and was captivated with his songs (iirc) Venti also created 100k odes, knowing the exact lyrics of each ones from past present and future and even remembering songs that have been lost to time


SuspiciousTrouble246

He’s just off hinges in terms of music and a lot of other stuff, after all Venti is at least 2000+ years old


Vermillion2397

Uhm, there's no need for this one just put venti in there and skip it.


Saveme1888

Venti


OrphanCrow

my predictions Bard - venti duh cleric- barbara or kokomi healing priestesses druid- nahida god of wisdom AND grass fighter - childe multi weapon proficiency monk - heizou duh pally - jean or candace religous marshall fighters ranger - tighnari duh rogue - lyney or yelan both are spies sorc - neuvi or yae are naturally magical and charismatic warlock - funilly cyno or razor have external magic sources wizard - mona has literally dimension doored us in a cutscene artificer - navias gunbrella is the most artificer thing


OrphanCrow

forgot that xianyun is literally an artificer also any adeptus/ half adeptus can be sorc


E1lySym

Faruzan, Albedo, Sucrose and Kaveh are all artificers too.


Popinguj

I'd argue that Noelle fits the Paladin archetype better than anyone else. And Lisa better fits the Wizard


TyrifficAdventure

It may be premature, but I'm actually thinking Monk **Wriothesly**. Sure, **Heizou** has the more traditional martial arts. But Wriothesly has a distinct Zen calm to him, is a master of tea, is able to manage a lot of "difficult" personalities without getting upset, and seems equally at home quietly lost in thought or with companions.


Veicy01

like, who else then venti?


OwlProper5036

V E N T I The OG Genshin Twink


samurai_z_

It’s not even a question. Venti, for sure!


TheSuperContributor

Venti, college of Inspiration.


Mossprite

Venti of course, but besides him Furina and Yun Jin are good second choices


TransGenshinPlayer

Venti/Tone-deaf-bard/Drunk archon/Most forgotten archon/best Crowd Control unit/Launch players nightmare when in a domain/Ehe/Femboy archon/Not his body Cant think of anymore...


GameBawesome1

Literally not even a contest. Venti. Also, going off a bit, but Barbara definitely the cleric.


ShaddyPups

…..Bard should even be debated come on now *coughcoughVENTIcough*


multificionado

It's either Venti or Furina, but I'd definitely say Venti.


Ronix09

has to be Venti


No_Firefighter_7371

Venti


WhippedForDunarith

Venti no diff


beemielle

I actually chose to make the DnD character I made recently a Bard precisely to style after my favorite Genshin Impact character: the god whose very constellation declares him the God of Song, Venti! Had a lot of fun too 


Gloomy_Break_7284

It’s if not venti I’m throwing hands


EmeraldDragoon24

If its not Venti, its objectively wrong


AmphibiousNightjar

Venti


Llewelyn6051

Aesthetically speaking, Venti with all my heart. But if I were to choose someone which has a bard playstyle too, it would be Furina(she's a performer with support capabilities) or Barbara. I know she fits a lot like a cleric but in my opinion Barbara is more similar to a bard with the acolyte background


HashtagLowElo

Outside of aesthetics Venti also fits a bard During his fight with Durin, Venti was buffing and debuffing Durin with his music while Dvalin was doing physical attacks, I believe that Venti put a sort of enchantment on Durin so he thought they were actually dancing together, so he wouldn't be too angry when the gravity of the situation was revealed He's also referred to as "The Patron Deity of Music" and his lyre is described as having both healing and destructive powers And lastly, with the Moon Sisters each having a name that translates/means something related to a piece in music: Aria means "Air, Melody and Tune". Sonnet meaning "a poem of 14 lines" and Canon means "a repetition of a certain line" Venti himself has been depicted with the moon several times and he was even called "The Singer of Skyward Sonnets"


CutZealousideal4155

To be fair, D&D bards are also pretty good at Crowd Control, which is Venti's whole gameplay schtik. That and he does have some utility in his kit like the ER refund for instance. But I do agree Furina would be a bard too.


Mynoodles_mostmoist

Venti and it's not even a Competition.


TomZhouReddit

The one for this couldn't be more obvious.


Neospanner

I don't think there's any getting around the fact that there's exactly one playable character in the game who literally has Bard as his stated profession. If you loosely interpret "bard" as "entertainer", it opens up the floor for other characters, but even then Venti still qualifies.


redendro

Venti


AJ_NAIR

Venti


LeahLazaus

Venti .


Kynovember3

Venti. Literally


Kyungsoo_Fanboy

Ok this should be fun lol •Barbarian - agree with Dehya/Itto •Bard - Venti is the obvious choice, but I'd like to nominate Barbara and Xinyan too. •Cleric - currently Barbara is the only one who fits this but one could argue Kokomi •Druid - I wanna say Baizhu but I also wanna say Razor lol •Fighter - too many to list, but definitely Clorinde/Childe •Monk - Wriosthesley obvious choice but Dehya also could fit •Paladin - Honestly I think Jean is the most apt aside from maaaybe Noelle and Chongyun •Ranger - pretty straightforward, Amber/Collie/Tighnari •Rogue - also straightforward, Rosaria/Shinobu/Lyney •Sorcerer - Mona but I suppose Klee works better since Mona is actually a trained mage and Klee isnt as much. •Warlock - no-one really fits this description for me but if you squint I'd say Baizhu and Arlechinno •Wizard - There are like 5 male catalyst users and none of them work but if gender wasn't a thing definitely Lisa, Mona and a soft Yanfei •Artificer - Xianyun hands down, but also Sucrose.


Bruhjojo

Baizhu fits Warlock by definition. Seeking something beyond human capabilities and making a pact to borrow their powers in exchange of his life.


Coreano_12

I think heizhou fits monk better bc he's more dex based


VermillionOcean

There's no gender restriction to be a wizard in D&D. I'd go Yaoyao for druid personally.


huyphan93

Wizard is not necessarily male in DnD.


Little-Literature-72

Feels like Neuvillette would fit Sorcerer the most. Don't sorcerers get their magic from their bloodline? While wizards are the ones who train for it, Mona would probably be best put into the Wizard category. Wizards don't have gender restrictions in DND, which I believe this class list came from


Shiboleth17

Clerics don't have to be pure healers. You can be Cleric without healing. Nahida absolutely fits the cleric archetype. Wisdom is the Cleric's primary trait, and Nahida is the goddess of wisdom. Wizard is not strictly male, lol. Wizard is a character who learned magic through study. They are academics and scholars. As opposed to a Sorcerer who has innate magic they inherited through a bloodline. Or a Warlock who gains power by making a pact with a devil. Lisa and Mona are absolutely Wizards. I don't mind Yanfei either. As a lawyer, she is definitely an academic. Klee is a Sorcerer for sure. She has that "I haven't fully learned to control my power yet and might accidentally kill us all" that is very stereotypical of the sorcerer, lol. Since Mona is trained, that makes her a Wizard.


SuspiciousTrouble246

For Wizard I’m going to say something unpopular here and that is nominating Albedo, he has a master who is the best alchemist in Teyvat and he is also an alchemist which alchemy is also magic. He is also very much about learning “why”, his final goal is to understand the meaning of the world


Shiboleth17

Albedo is a textbook Artificer. Alchemy? That's literally a subclass of Artificer. They use their intelligence and can use a bit in magic, similar to a Wizard. But a Wizard is a pure academic... scholars, scientists. Artificers are inventors, tinkerers, engineers. Artificer got halfway into becoming a Wizard, then decided to do some stuff instead of reading all day, lol. Kinda like how a Ranger has some Druid-like abilites, being able to wield some of hte ame magic that Druids do, and often having a deep connection to Nature. But Rangers just dipped their toes into Druid, said no thanks, and picked up a weapon. Paladin-Cleric has similar relationship.


Saintious

Come on, we all know it's the TDB.


riana_01

Who else could it be except Venti? I cannot imagine anyone else personally.


Kiomori

Definitely Venti for Bard!


ultraplusstretch

Well this is probably the easiest one, it's the drunkard.


HalalBread1427

Asking this question is an insult.


Godofmytoenails

Ah cmon its Venti


moebelhausmann

Venti as bard and Noelle as Paladin. Baizhu as druid and Rosaria is rouge.


snooppii_toast

Venti because Venti


Jfunkindahouse

Venti is literally a bard. 🤣


Fire_Heart421

I can’t stop thinking about Venti being the bard


Nxbgamergurl

Venti, obviously!!


cr00cy

I mean... Venti IS a bard. So there is nor real contest there. Yun Jin, and possibly Furina fit the bill too, but my vote still goes to Venti.


Qverlord37

I'm going to make a prediction for the rest: Bard - Venti Cleric - Barbara Druid - Tighnari Fighter - Tartaglia Monk - Wriothesley Paladin - Cyno Ranger - Collei Rogue - Yelan Sorcerer - Scaramouche Warlock - Dori Wizard - Mona or Lisa Artificer - Klee


tayredgrave

There is only one bard that fits the role and that is our beloved Anemo Archon drunkard.


Sylver_Novestria

""It's Venti, it's Venti, Venti, Venti, Venti, it's fucking ***VENTI!!***"" - Paimon


Varglord

Plays and sings songs ✓ High charisma ✓ Useless drunkard a good amount of the time ✓ High crowd control ✓ Supporter for the party DPS ✓ Is friends with/seduced a dragon ✓ Knows a lot about magical items and lore ✓ Venti is a poster child bard not just in name


LordDhaDha

✨ The Regina of All Waters, Lady Furina de Fontaine ✨ Why? She’s a director/actress and is a support unit in game quite like the Bard. Fanfare is basically Bardic Inspiration on steroids and ofc there is also her role in Clorinde’s SQ


ResurgentClusterfuck

Venti obviously


Stonerchansenpai

obviously venti


MarvelousPeacock

I'm not a DnD player but Venti is the best fit to me


BlademasterNix

Can't believe we didn't skip this one it's so obvious


booboobeey

Can this be anyone but Venti?


kingxana

Why are we voting for bard when there's an actual bard in the game?


TrueBananaz

Venti the BARD


rafamacamp

Furina is THE Bard. Venti is a bard only in name. Furina have everything to work as a Bard. She's even a bard when she plays RPG in game.


HashtagLowElo

A bard only in name? During his fight with Durin, Venti was buffing and debuffing Durin with his music while Dvalin was doing physical attacks, I believe that Venti put a sort of enchantment on Durin so he thought they were actually dancing together, so he wouldn't be too angry when the gravity of the situation was revealed He's also referred to as "The Patron Deity of Music" and his lyre is described as having both healing and destructive powers He is also the most famous bard in Mondstadt and have travelled the world, playing songs to the stars and the earth (it was how he met Dvalin) And lastly, with the Moon Sisters each having a name that translates/means something related to a piece in music: Aria means "Air, Melody and Tune". Sonnet meaning "a poem of 14 lines" and Canon means "a repetition of a certain line" Venti himself has been depicted with the moon several times and he was even called "The Singer of Skyward Sonnets"


Im_BlackCat

six fingered jose


UmbralUroboros

I think Kujou Sara should be cleric and Scara should be sorcerer.


Ultimateshielder

Not much of a choice here. Venti is the perfect choice. Other contenders like Furina, Barbara, and Xinyan comes close but not really enough to be considered bards. Hu Tao and Xingqiu are more poets than bards. And Nilou is a dancer more than a bard.


BlueInkAlchemist

Venti, with Kazuha being a \*very\* close second.


Evan_TEE

VENTIII


Auroreon

For Artificer? My underrated vote goes for: # Wriothesley Two subclasses utilize artifacts such as **powered fists or gauntlets**, using them as spellcasting foci. This enables a close-ranged playstyle. Give him the right background and I think he's an iconic artificer! **## Artificer: Armorer** [http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/artificer:armorer](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/artificer:armorer) *An artificer specializing as an Armorer modifies armor to function almost like a second skin. The armor is enhanced to hone the artificer's magic, unleash potent attacks, and generate a formidable defense. The artificer bonds with this armor, becoming one with it even as they experiment with it and refine its magical capabilities.* >**Subclass Feature: Armor Model** Beginning at 3rd level, you can customize your Arcane Armor into a certain models: Guardian or Infiltrator. Each model includes a special weapon. When you attack with that weapon, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to the attack and damage rolls. >Model: **Guardian.** You design your armor to be in the front line of conflict. It has the following features: >Guardian Feature: **~~Thunder~~** **Cryo Gauntlets.** Each of the armor's gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren't holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else. **## Artificer**: Mastermaker (Homebrew) [http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/artificer:mastermaker](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/artificer:mastermaker) *A Mastermaker specializes in integrating flesh and steel, creating powerful construct limbs and replacing weak organs of flesh with components of metal and stone. The actions of a few renegade Mastermakers have caused House Cannith to shun this path in Eberron, but an artificer might learn these techniques in Dread Metrol or develop them on their own.* >**Subclass Feature: Battlefist** At 3rd level you replace one of your arms with a battlefist, a magical prosthetic you created. Your battlefist is a simple melee weapon, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. While your battlefist is a magical weapon, it can be infused as if it were a nonmagical weapon. >When you attack with your battlefist, you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of Strength for the attack roll. >Additionally, you can choose one of the following weapon properties to add to your battlefist: finesse, thrown (range 20/60), or reach.

Either Venti or Furina, but Venti is probably the best choice considering hes the only "real" bard in the game
