Hu Tao
The reigning champion on the most popular female preset list is a recreation of Hu Tao, a five-star Pyro Polearm character who is a favorite among the Genshin community.
As of Aug. 11, the recreation of the spooky and quirky girl in Tower of Fantasy is the single most popular recreation across both the male and female categories and boasts over 48,000 likes while continuing to climb.

Zhongli
A favorite in the male preset category is a recreation of Zhongli, the Geo Archon, and five-star Polearm character in Genshin. The recreation retains his signature ombre hair but updates his look to a bit more of an edgy and modern style.
- Character ID: 1869
Keqing
Another popular female preset in Tower of Fantasy is one that recreates Electro Sword character Keqing. Her signature purple ponytails, violet dress, and small cat-ear-like shapes atop her head are all retained in the Tower of Fantasy recreation. As of Aug. 11, this preset is currently third overall across both the male and female preset categories.
- Character ID: 690
Bennett
Pyro Sword character Bennett is a favorite within the Genshin community due to his always upbeat attitude in spite of his very unlucky life. His signature goggles, edgy style, and bright white hair translate perfectly in this Tower of Fantasy recreation of him.
- Character ID: 1929
Yelan
The elusive Hydro Bow character Yelan is always secretive about what she truly does in Genshin Impact and why she is absent from work most of the year. Perhaps players of both games can fill in the gaps by bringing Yelan to Aida in Tower of Fantasy and thus explain what she does when she disappears in Genshin Impact.
- Character ID: 11656
Eula
Cryo Claymore character Eula is a favorite among the Genshin community due to her stunning appearance and unmatched skillset as a Claymore character capable of dealing both heavy and quick damage at once. The Tower of Fantasy preset version of her especially captures her hair well but her overall outfit is also quite similar to the one she dons in Genshin, although it is certainly edgier and more modern.
- Character ID: 2259853
Jean
It looks like Jean still won’t be getting a day off anytime soon, but players looking to bring the Anemo Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius on their Tower of Fantasy journey can do so with the following preset.
- Character ID: 183385
Fischl
Players can explore Aida as the dramatic, daring, and dauntless Electro Bow character with this stunning preset. Fischl’s signature eyepatch, ponytails, and edgy purple and black aesthetic translate almost flawlessly to Tower of Fantasy.
- Character ID: 4373503
Ganyu
The quiet and focused Cryo Bow character looks pretty accurate in her Tower of Fantasy recreation except for her signature horns, which are missing because there is no customization feature in the game that looks like them. Aside from this, the creator of the preset still did a solid job maintaining Ganyu’s overall appearance.
- Character ID: 905366
Noelle
Players can play as the sweet, loyal, and kind Geo maid character Noelle from Genshin with the preset below. Noelle has always wanted to be a knight, so perhaps adventuring off to explore Aida will help her hone her skills and reach her goal of becoming one much faster.
- Character ID: 3476580
Tartaglia (Childe)
The reckless, cunning, and dangerous Fatui Harbinger is a powerful Hydro force who wields a Bow in Genshin Impact. His unique style in Genshin is more on the traditional side, so while the style of his outfit doesn’t translate perfectly to Tower of Fantasy, the overall color scheme of his signature look does which makes for a more laidback version of the Hydro Bow character.
- Character ID: 6388
Kuki Shinobu
One of the best recreations of a Genshin Impact character in Tower of Fantasy is the following preset of Kuki Shinobu. Arataki Itto’s right-hand woman is a powerful Electro Sword character boasting bright green hair, purple-centric attire, and a signature mask that covers half of her face.
What’s most impressive about this rendition is how it manages to retain so many key details any Genshin player could easily recognize Kuki Shinobu right away.
- Character ID: 4096446
Mona
The witchy Hydro Catalyst character Mona is a favorite when it comes to character design in the Genshin community. The Tower of Fantasy version of Mona is missing some key elements, such as her signature witch hat, but does provide a unique look that is edgier and more modern for the Hydro character.
- Character ID: 504523
Kaeya
The Cryo Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius is a staple in the world of Teyvat. Kaeya is a free character gifted to players early on in Genshin Impact and thus one every player is quite familiar with. The preset version of him does a solid job retaining his most notable features including his eyepatch and navy blue hair.
- Character ID: 291326
Beidou
The fearless and determined Captain of the Crux sails the seas with her crew and can regularly be found around Liyue. She has a notably edgy and pirate-like appearance in Genshin that is maintained fairly well in the following Tower of Fantasy preset version of her.
- Character ID: 3256999
Venti
While Venti’s more delicate style can’t really be translated to the edgy, futuristic avatar builder in Tower of Fantasy, the Anemo Archon’s general color scheme and signature ombre hair with a braid are still quite apparent in this preset.
- Character ID: 70478
Lumine (Traveler)
If you’ve grown attached to the female version of the protagonist in Genshin Impact, this preset will allow you to also play as Lumine in Tower of Fantasy.
- Character ID: 3396865
Xiao
This preset does a great job of carrying over Xiao’s signature cluttered and detailed look in Genshin Impact. The Anemo Yaksha’s messy ombre hair and serious expression are also quite apparent in the Tower of Fantasy version of his character.
- Character ID: 1146520
Yoimiya
Outgoing, kind, and beloved Pyro Bow character Yoimiya is another Genshin Impact character that players have recreated in Tower of Fantasy. Sadly, this version or any other recreation of her will be missing her signature firework abilities, but her overall bright and cheery look does translate to the game fairly well.
- Character ID: 2335030
Chongyun
The icy Cryo exorcist from Liyue has an overall bright look about him that coincides with his unique ability to scare away spirits thanks to his overwhelming amount of positive energy and light. Players looking to play as Chongyun in Tower of Fantasy will enjoy the following preset version of him.

Dainsleif
Although Dansleif isn’t a playable character yet in Genshin, players have run into him repeatedly during their Teyvat travels and he is expected to become a playable character sometime in the future. Until he actually becomes a playable character in Genshin, Tower of Fantasy and Genshin players alike can at least play with a very close model of him by using the following preset.
- Character ID: 2806875
Xinyan
Rock and roll Pyro sensation Xinyan boasts one of the coolest, edgiest looks in all of Genshin Impact. Her appearance translates exceptionally well to Tower of Fantasy thanks to the overall modern style she has in Genshin.
