Well, your party can have 4 characters, so probably Kaeya, Bennett, Noelle and Lisa.
Not much to pick from there...
New players get a free 5-star after you unlock the wish system, now that's a choice you have to make.

Oh, okay! Thank you! Also, if you don’t mind answering, who should I use as my main?
Hour-Conference17062026-02-01 17:22
Benett, Lisa, Amber, Lumine and wait till you get something better?

I actually wouldn't recommend Bennett or the character Xiangling when you eventually get her for overworld. Both have their primary functionality tied to their Bursts and consistently having their Bursts available in the overworld is a little hard to do when you first start out so it ends up feeling kinda terrible
They become a lot more valuable after you've played the game for a while
If you do a little bit of the Lantern Rite quest and are able to get 1000 coins to get the free 4 star character selector, I would recommend getting the 4 star Dendro character Yaoyao. She has healing on Skill (which means it doesn't cost energy) and that's significantly more comfortable in the overworld. Alternatively, you *can* get the Anemo character Lan Yan; she offers sustain via a shield on Skill, though generally, I kinda think healing is a little more player-friendly when you're still learning a game 🤔
* I don't recommend getting Xingqiu from this selector because you can get your first copy of him from the Paimon's Bargains shop in March, which means you have two months to have enough Starglitter to do so
* **As for Lantern Rite Spoilers**, iirc, you can do the absolute bare minimum of the Lantern Rite story - literally just go to the first area where it points you to and talk to two of the characters (one of them is Yaoyao incidentally) and then you can start playing the minigames and looking for the pots of gold around Liyue Harbor for coins. It seemed pretty easy to get almost 1000 coins without doing the main story and Yaoyao and her friend don't say much related to prior events, apart from being familiar with you
Aside from a sustain, I think you're pretty okay picking whoever. Kaeya is kind of a shoe-in because he feels all right to play when you first start the game, has relatively more frequent Skill usage as compared to most of the characters of the game and his Burst isn't nearly as expensive as Xiangling
*- Collei and Yaoyao -*
Also a small note about the character Collei as well as Yaoyao when/if you get them. This goes for all Dendro characters but be wary of what is called the Burning reaction. Whenever Pyro + Dendro collide, they cause Burning (it's basically setting wood and plants on fire). It's all fine and dandy for the most part, except for when you find yourself Burning or standing in a Burning patch of grass, something a little bit more likely in Mondstadt if you use Dendro and Pyro in a certain way

**You can put anyone you want really.**
**Here is some trivial advice: Don't keep two characters with the same element on your team though (for now, because you are just starting). It's not necessary to follow it, but it helped me avoid having to constantly switch characters for different purposes.**
However, keep collecting primogems and try to use them (once you have collected enough) to obtain a good quality 5 star character.
A new character Zibai will appear on the banner in a few days, so you can try to pull for her (only if you have collected sufficient primogems).
