Genshin Impact Tier List: S-tier characters listed

Genshin Impact Tier List for version 6.0

If you’re looking for the best characters in the game, pay attention to the incredible heroes from the S-tier. They are super effective in terms of damage and bring huge value to the entire team!

Every character in the game has something unique, and although most of them are 5-star and hard to obtain, every pull and every minute invested in these characters will pay off in full.

Name	Stats	Element	Pros
Arlecchino	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1020, ATK: 26.63, DEF: 59.53	Pyro	Arlecchino is still considered one of the strongest DPS characters in the game. Although her abilities may seem complicated at first, playing her is actually quite straightforward. You just need to activate her skill, switch to another character for a few seconds, then return and attack the marked enemies with charged or normal attacks while Bond of Life is active or until her skill recharges. The only drawback is that she cannot be healed by allies on the field — her health can only be restored through her Burst.
Bennett	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1039, ATK: 16, DEF: 65	Pyro	One of the most versatile, sought-after, and seemingly irreplaceable supports in the game. His Burst simultaneously heals allies and significantly boosts their attack, making him essential for most teams. Bennett is a perfect fit for both beginners and experienced players, as he can enhance almost any main DPS. Even though he is a 4-star character, his effectiveness easily rivals that of 5-star heroes.
Escoffier	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP:1,039.12, ATK: 27.00, DEF: 56.96	Cryo	An incredibly strong Sub DPS character. She provides consistent Cryo application, allowing teams to reliably trigger reactions such as Melt, Freeze, and Superconduct. Her abilities deal damage even off-field, making her extremely convenient for teams with Pyro and Hydro units. Thanks to her high base attack and flexible build options, Escoffier significantly boosts overall team damage and helps handle enemies effectively at all stages of combat.
Furina	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1192, ATK: 18.99, DEF: 54.15	Hydro	A versatile character who can serve both as a support, boosting the entire team’s damage through her Burst, and as a sub DPS with consistent Hydro application. She fits well into various team compositions and increases their overall effectiveness. For stable performance, she requires a healer, since part of her mechanics is tied to the health levels of allies.
Hu Tao	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1211, ATK: 8, DEF: 68	Pyro	One of the strongest Pyro DPS characters in the game, but also one of the most difficult to master. Her damage scales with HP and reaches its peak at low health, which requires careful management. She excels in close combat, especially against single targets and bosses. Pairs extremely well with Hydro and Cryo characters for Vaporize and Melt reactions. To unlock her full potential, players need to manage her health carefully and maintain proper team rotations.
Kaedehara Kazuha	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1039, ATK: 23, DEF: 63	Anemo	One of the best Anemo supports in the game. He boosts team damage through element absorption and by increasing Elemental Mastery. His skills allow him to effectively group enemies, making it easier to perform powerful AoE attacks. Highly versatile and fits into almost any team composition where reactions are important. Especially valuable in teams with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro.
Neuvillette	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1144, ATK: 16.22, DEF: 44.87	Hydro	One of the strongest Hydro DPS characters. His main source of damage comes from charged attacks, and his gameplay is simple to learn. His ultimate deals very high AoE damage and fills in the gaps between charged attacks, providing consistent Hydro application for reactions. He remains relevant in most meta teams.
Nahida	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 807, ATK: 23.27, DEF: 49.06	Dendro	One of the best supports and sub DPS characters in the game. She provides strong and consistent Dendro application to multiple targets, making her indispensable in teams built around Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Quicken. She can boost allies by increasing Elemental Mastery while also dealing steady off-field damage. Easy to use and highly versatile, she fits seamlessly into almost any team with Hydro and Electro characters.
Raiden Shogun	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1005, ATK: 26, DEF: 61	Electro	One of the strongest DPS characters and at the same time an important source of energy for the team. Her ultimate deals massive damage and speeds up energy regeneration for allies. However, Raiden herself also depends on solid support — she needs particle generators or teammates with energy restoration to fully unleash her potential.

Xiangling4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 912, ATK: 19, DEF: 56PyroOne of the best 4-star characters, often comparable in value to 5-star DPS units. Her ultimate, “Pyronado,” provides consistent off-field damage and is perfect for reactions with Hydro and Cryo. Because of this, Xiangling holds a key place in popular meta teams such as the National Team. She works especially well with characters who attack quickly (like Xingqiu or Yelan), ensuring constant Pyro application for Vaporize and Melt reactions.Xilonen5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 966, ATK: 21.41, DEF: 72.39GeoA support character who reduces enemy resistance to elements, significantly increasing the team’s overall damage. Her ability Nightsoul’s Blessing makes allies noticeably stronger, which is especially valuable in reaction-based teams. Thanks to this, Xilonen is highly versatile and fits into almost any lineup — enhancing both strong DPS units and reliable sub DPS characters.Xingqiu4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 857, ATK: 17, DEF: 64HydroOne of the most versatile Hydro supports. His ultimate and skills deal consistent off-field damage, provide constant Hydro application, and reduce the damage the team takes. He also offers a bit of healing, which improves the squad’s survivability. Xingqiu is an excellent fit not only for Bloom and Hyperbloom reactions but also for Cryo (Freeze) and Electro (Electro-Charged) teams, remaining a valuable character in almost any composition.Yelan5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1125, ATK: 19, DEF: 43HydroA strong sub DPS who deals consistent off-field damage and supports the team through her Burst. Her abilities allow her to apply Hydro even while switching characters, making her especially convenient for rotations. Yelan is effective not only in Bloom and Hyperbloom reactions but also in teams with Pyro for Vaporize and with Cryo for Freeze. She is highly versatile and fits into most meta teams, often serving as an alternative or complement to Xingqiu.Zhongli5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1144, ATK: 20, DEF: 57GeoThe best shielder in the game. His shield remains the strongest and most reliable to this day, providing near-complete protection from damage while also reducing enemy resistances. Thanks to this, Zhongli can become an essential part of any team, ensuring stability and comfort in battle.Citlali5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 905, ATK: 10, DEF: 59CryoShe is arguably the strongest Cryo support. Her shield rivals Zhongli’s in strength and has a short cooldown, providing the team with consistent protection. Thanks to her high compatibility with Hydro and Pyro characters, Citlali is an excellent fit for Freeze and Melt reactions, remaining a versatile choice for many team compositions.Mavuika5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 977, ATK: 28, DEF: 61PyroOne of the strongest Pyro DPS characters, on par with Arlecchino. She stands out with high damage and stable on-field presence. Mavuika ranks among the top damage dealers in the game and can become a key character for teams focused on fast damage and reactions with Hydro, Cryo, and Electro.Skirk5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 966, ATK: 27, DEF: 62CryoA new character who has captured the hearts of many fans with her appearance, story, and incredible damage. She can easily become your main DPS character. And if you were wondering whether you should pull for her or not, the answer is YES!Varesa5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 988, ATK: 27, DEF: 60ElectroAnother recently released character who quickly entered the meta and firmly secured her place there. Varesa isn’t too demanding when it comes to building, is easy to play, and still delivers a very high amount of damage. So if you’ve been looking for a strong Electro DPS, Varesa is a perfect choice. Ineffa5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 981, ATK: 25, DEF: 66ElectroIneffa truly shines in the sub-DPS role. He provides consistent off-field damage while supporting the team with his abilities. Highly versatile, he can boost main damage dealers while maintaining a strong personal contribution to overall DPS. Thanks to this, Ineffa fits seamlessly into various team compositions and remains a valuable pick for meta setups.

Genshin Impact Tier list: A-tier characters listed

Name	Stats	Element	Pros
Alhaitham	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1039, ATK: 24.49, DEF: 60.85	Dendro	A strong on-field DPS who deals high damage with normal and charged attacks. His Dendro application is convenient for reactions, making him valuable in Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Quicken teams. He pairs well with Hydro and Electro characters. The main challenge in his gameplay is maintaining Chiseled-Light Mirrors, without which his damage output is reduced.
Ayaka	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1 000, ATK: 26, DEF: 61	Cryo	One of the strongest Cryo DPS characters. Her Burst deals massive AoE damage and is perfect for triggering Freeze and Melt reactions. With her high attack speed and powerful charged attack, Ayaka is effective against both single targets and groups of enemies. She works especially well with Hydro characters and remains a stable, versatile choice for many meta teams. While there are stronger DPS options at the moment, she still firmly holds one of the top positions in the A tier.
Aino	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1 039, ATK: 24, DEF: 60	Hydro	A new character who can compete with Xingqiu in terms of utility. While not as effective as a main DPS, she shines in the role of a sub DPS. She provides consistent Hydro application, making it easier to trigger reactions, especially with Pyro and Dendro. Very easy to pick up, strong in combat, and an excellent choice for most teams where reliable support and additional damage are needed.
Baizhu	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1 039, ATK: 24, DEF: 60		Baizhu is an excellent choice for any team! He combines Dendro application with full-party healing. He performs best against single-target enemies, though his efficiency drops slightly in fights with multiple opponents. On the one hand, this makes him extremely useful in battles with tough bosses, like those in the Spiral Abyss. On the other hand, it can slow down clearing floors with lots of enemies. Still, his main role is healing and shielding — and thanks to scaling from his HP, he can restore your entire team’s health quickly and efficiently.
Clorinde	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1 008, ATK: 26, DEF: 61	Electro	A main DPS whose damage revolves around the Bond of Life mechanic. She can heal herself while dealing consistent Electro damage. Works well with Hydro, Pyro, and Cryo for reactions. Thanks to her fast and straightforward playstyle, she easily fits into quick-rotation teams.
Chaska	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 763, ATK: 27, DEF: 48	Anemo	A strong character with a unique playstyle. She deals high damage and can act as either a main or additional source of DPS. She works especially well with Hydro for Freeze, with Pyro for Melt, and with Electro for Superconduct. Thanks to this, Chaska fits into different teams and enhances their overall effectiveness.
Chevreuse	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1 020, ATK: 23, DEF: 63		An incredibly strong sub-DPS who shines in Pyro-focused teams. Easy to build, she comes with useful abilities for support and damage amplification. Despite being a 4-star character, she remains highly valuable and accessible, making her an excellent addition to any party that relies on Pyro reactions.
Chiori	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 890, ATK: 25, DEF: 74		A strong Geo DPS focused on summoning dolls that deal damage scaling from both DEF and ATK. She works especially well in teams with other Geo characters and in synergy with Constructs. Easy to build and capable of delivering consistent damage even off-field, which makes her a convenient and versatile choice.
Eula	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1030, ATK: 27, DEF: 58	Cryo	One of the strongest Physical DPS characters in the game, dealing massive damage through her normal attacks and Burst. Her Elemental Burst can unleash colossal AoE damage if enough stacks are built up. Eula excels as a main DPS but requires setup time and team support for fast Burst energy recharge. She shines against single targets and bosses, though in AoE situations she can sometimes fall behind elemental-focused DPS characters.
Escoffier	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP:1,039, ATK: 27.00, DEF: 56.96	Cryo	We’ve already seen her in the S-Tier, but thanks to her abilities, she can also fit perfectly as a support. This is yet another proof that she blends seamlessly into almost any team, especially if you’re looking to build a Cryo-focused comp.
Emilie	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP:1,056, ATK: 26, DEF: 56	Dendro	A strong Dendro character focused on support and triggering reactions. She provides consistent Dendro application, making her an excellent choice for teams with Hydro and Electro (Bloom, Hyperbloom, Quicken). She can serve as either a sub-DPS or a support, boosting the damage of main carries and increasing the effectiveness of reactions. Suitable for most meta teams and fits easily into different rotations.
Fischl	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 770, ATK: 20, DEF: 50	Electro	One of the best 4-star sub-DPS characters. She summons Oz, who deals consistent off-field Electro damage and provides constant Electro application. Especially useful in Dendro teams for Aggravate and Quicken reactions, but also works great in Hydro and Cryo teams for Electro-Charged and Superconduct. In addition, Fischl serves as an excellent battery for most Electro characters, supplying them with energy. Thanks to her simple build and versatility, she fits seamlessly into most team compositions.
Flins	Coming Soon		A lot is expected from this character, and many are already giving him an unquestionable S-Tier ranking. Judging by his abilities, that might very well be true. However, I’d personally place him in a high A-Tier for now and wait a few patches. Things can change a lot, and I’m not ready to put a character who isn’t even in the game yet straight into S-Tier.
Ganyu	5 Stars Level 1HP: 763ATK: 26DEF: 49	Cryo	An OG character who can still serve as a solid main Cryo DPS in your team. She fits well into most party setups. One drawback, however, is that she’s a bow user, and many players find the bow playstyle a bit clunky for a main DPS role, which brings her down a tier. On top of that, newer characters have been released that can deal higher damage, making her feel slightly outclassed.
Ineffa	5 Stars Level 1HP: 763ATK: 26DEF: 49	Electro	As mentioned earlier, Ineffa truly shines in the sub-DPS role, but she can also be effectively used as a full support. Not only does she provide consistent off-field damage, but she also helps the team through her abilities, boosting main damage dealers and making elemental reactions easier to trigger. This versatility allows her to flex between different roles depending on the team’s needs, making Ineffa a valuable choice for many compositions.
Sangonomiya Kokomi	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1049, ATK: 18, DEF: 51	Hydro	One of the best healers in the game, providing reliable and consistent healing for the entire team. Her abilities offer steady Hydro application, making her essential in Dendro teams for Bloom and Hyperbloom reactions. Kokomi can serve as a pure support or a hybrid support-DPS, contributing damage through her skills and Burst. Thanks to her versatility, she fits seamlessly into many team compositions, improving both survivability and overall effectiveness.
Kinich	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1,000., ATK: 25, DEF: 62		A relatively new character who has already established himself as one of the strongest. In terms of effectiveness, he is very close to S-Tier. He offers high damage and versatility, making him a valuable pick for most team compositions. With a straightforward playstyle, he is well-suited for both beginners and experienced players alike.
Lyney	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 858, ATK: 24, DEF: 41	Pyro	A strong Pyro DPS, especially effective in AOE situations. He pairs exceptionally well with Bennett, benefiting from his attack buffs and extra survivability. Easy to play, making him a great choice for both beginners and experienced players. He delivers consistent damage and fits seamlessly into teams built around Vaporize and Melt reactions.
Mona	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 810, ATK: 22, DEF: 51	Hydro	She provides consistent Hydro application and boosts the team’s overall damage thanks to her unique mechanic that increases the damage enemies take. She is especially valuable for Freeze, Vaporize, and Electro-Charged reactions. Her Burst delivers a powerful damage spike while amplifying allies’ follow-up attacks, making Mona a valuable support and sub-DPS in most team compositions.
Mualani	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1182, ATK: 14.5, DEF: 44.39	Hydro	A Hydro DPS with an unusual playstyle that takes some getting used to. Her focus isn’t on raw damage but on her specific mechanics, which makes her less effective compared to more versatile Hydro DPS units like Neuvillette or Yelan. Even so, Mualani can perform well in certain teams and provides steady Hydro application for reactions. She’s worth pulling if you want variety and a unique gameplay experience, but if you’re looking for a universal and powerful Hydro DPS, there are better candidates to consider.
Navia	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 985, ATK: 27.37, DEF: 61.74	Geo	A unique Geo DPS focused on using Crystallize Shards to boost her damage. Her Gunbrella delivers powerful shots that scale with the number of collected shards. She shines especially in mixed teams with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro, where crystals are easily generated. Easy to pick up and highly versatile, Navia has quickly secured her place as one of the best Geo DPS characters in the game.
Nilou	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1182, ATK: 17.88, DEF: 56.72	Hydro	A unique character who fully shines only when paired with Hydro + Dendro. Thanks to her mechanics, she enhances the Bloom reaction, turning cores into a powerful source of damage. However, because of this specialty, she’s not very suitable for other team setups, making her playstyle more niche. With the right team, though, Nilou becomes one of the strongest DPS characters in the game and makes it possible to clear tough content through AoE damage from reactions.
Ororon	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 775, ATK: 20, DEF: —	Electro	A DPS-support who can often serve as a replacement for Fischl. Provides consistent off-field damage and excellent energy generation, making him valuable for most Electro teams. He stands out with high damage for a 4-star character and ease of use. Currently considered one of the best 4-star characters in the game.
Shenhe	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1011, ATK: 24, DEF: 65	Cryo	A support character specializing in boosting Cryo and Physical damage for allies. Her skills and Burst greatly enhance the performance of top Cryo DPS units like Ayaka or Ganyu. She’s an excellent fit for Cryo teams and Freeze setups, and can also empower Physical damage dealers such as Eula. Shenhe makes any team significantly stronger through her buffs and enemy debuffs. Her main drawback is her narrow specialization—outside of Cryo-focused teams, her value drops noticeably.
Wanderer (Scaramouche)	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 791, ATK: 25.51, DEF: 47.27	Anemo	A DPS with a unique flight mechanic that allows him to attack enemies from above while maintaining high mobility in combat. He shines especially when paired with Pyro and Cryo characters, who boost his damage through reactions. He’s also extremely useful for exploration thanks to his ability to hover over obstacles. However, his damage output heavily depends on well-chosen artifacts, proper rotations, and buffs from teammates. With strong support, he becomes one of the most powerful Anemo DPS characters.
Wriothesley	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1058, ATK: 24.41, DEF: 59.41	Cryo	An on-field DPS whose damage scales with HP. He excels in Freeze and Reverse Melt teams, where he delivers consistent damage. To reach his full potential, proper HP management is required. From his first constellation, his gameplay becomes noticeably smoother: the key state is extended, his “Frostfist in Midair” deals more damage, and it’s easier to maintain a stable attack cycle. At his sixth constellation, he reaches his peak, turning into one of the strongest Cryo DPS characters.
Xianyun	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 810, ATK: 26.07, DEF: 44.57	Anemo	A support character who enhances plunging attacks (working especially well with Xiao and Diluc). In addition to damage buffs, she provides consistent healing for the team, making her a versatile support for many team comps. She fits perfectly in squads focused on plunging damage, but also works in more general setups where survivability and extra buffs are important. However, without characters that rely on plunging attacks, her overall value drops significantly.
Xiao	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 991, ATK: 27, DEF: 62	Anemo	One of the strongest Anemo DPS to this day, Xiao focuses on plunging attacks. His Burst greatly increases his damage, turning regular jumps into powerful AoE strikes. To fully unleash his potential, Xiao requires strong team support — batteries to help with Energy Recharge and healers to offset the HP loss during his Burst. With the right support, he becomes one of the best on-field DPS characters in the game, but without a proper team his damage and survivability drop significantly.
Yae Miko	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 807, ATK: 26, DEF: 44	Electro	A strong Electro support and sub-DPS who provides consistent off-field damage through her totems. Her Burst deals high AoE damage but has a hefty Energy cost, making Yae Miko reliant on batteries or the right artifacts. She is vulnerable in close combat due to low survivability, but she’s highly valuable for triggering reactions and fits perfectly into Dendro teams, where she shines with Aggravate and Quicken. With proper support, she remains one of the most reliable sources of Electro damage.

A-tier characters in Genshin Impact are still very powerful, but their role in a team isn’t always as clear-cut. They remain impressive, yet they fall short of S-tier heroes in terms of versatility and overall cohesion. This is often due to their mechanics relying on specific conditions. Even so, these characters work very well together and complement top S-tier heroes perfectly. They have a remarkable ability to both trigger elemental reactions and amplify their effects, making them valuable members of any team.

Genshin Impact Tier list: B-tier characters listed

These characters may rank lower in the tier list for several reasons. One of the main ones is the cost of obtaining them. We all know how difficult it can be to pull 5-star characters and how much effort it takes to gather those precious wishes. So when you see a banner with a character and aren’t sure how strong they are or whether they’re worth pulling for, we’re here to answer that question.

B-Tier characters are neither particularly good nor particularly bad. There are stronger ones listed above, but also weaker ones that fall below. The most important thing to remember is this: if you like a character — their design, their skill effects, or their story — and you simply want to play them, then go ahead and pull. At the end of the day, the game should bring you joy. With that in mind, let’s dive into our list of B-tier characters.

Name	Stats	Element	Pros
Albedo	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1030, ATK: 20, DEF: 68	Geo	A strong off-field Geo DPS who deals consistent damage thanks to his skill, which scales with DEF. He greatly strengthens Geo teams, especially when paired with Zhongli and Itto, where he can fully shine. However, his usefulness is limited mainly to Geo comps — in mixed teams, he often loses effectiveness since his damage doesn’t interact with elemental reactions. Despite this, he remains a convenient and straightforward character to use, making him a solid pick for players building Geo-based squads.
Ayato	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1067, ATK: 23, DEF: 60	Hydro	A solid Hydro DPS focused on normal attacks with consistent Hydro application. He performs exceptionally well in Vaporize and Freeze teams, where his damage truly shines. However, Ayato is quite demanding when it comes to team composition — to reach his full potential, he requires the right buffers and reaction enablers. Compared to him, there are characters who are easier to use and deliver higher damage with fewer requirements, which slightly lowers his overall versatility.
Arataki Itto	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1001, ATK: 18, DEF: 75	Geo	A main DPS whose damage scales from DEF, making him simple to build and easy to play. However, he only truly shines in Geo teams, which makes him very limited in terms of team options. Compared to other main DPS characters, there are units who deal much higher damage and offer more flexibility. Still, Itto remains a fun and charming character — with his unique story, charisma, and striking visuals, he’s a fan favorite despite his gameplay limitations.
Barbara	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 821, ATK: 14, DEF: 56	Hydro	An excellent starter character, available for free to every player, and one who will save you many times in the early game. Barbara provides consistent healing for the whole team and can continuously apply Hydro, which is useful for Freeze and Vaporize reactions. This makes her a valuable support in the early stages and a solid fit for most beginner team comps. However, her main drawback is the long cooldown on her skills and the reliance on ability use for healing, which makes her less convenient in longer fights and limits her potential in the late game.
Candace	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 911, ATK: 17, DEF: 57	Hydro	A rare support specializing in enhancing allies’ normal attacks while also applying Hydro. She shines especially well in teams with Pyro and Electro for Vaporize and Electro-Charged reactions. Candace can be a valuable addition to characters who focus on auto-attacks, such as Wriothesley or Ayato. However, her usage is fairly niche — she isn’t as universal as many other Hydro supports and requires specific setups to unlock her full potential.
Charlotte	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 912, ATK: 18, DEF: 54	Cryo	A support with healing and consistent Cryo application. She works best in Freeze teams with Hydro characters, providing control and survivability for the squad. At the same time, she can also be useful in Pyro comps, where Melt reactions significantly boost the damage of main DPS characters. As a 4-star, she remains an accessible healer, but she requires the right teammates to fully unlock her potential.
Collei	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 820, ATK: 17, DEF: 50	Dendro	A budget-friendly Dendro sub-DPS available to players early on. She provides consistent Dendro application, making her useful for Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Quicken reactions. She’s especially valuable at the start of the game when the pool of Dendro characters is limited. However, over time she falls behind stronger supports like Nahida or Yaoyao. Even so, Collei remains a solid option for free-to-play accounts and can reliably fill her role in many teams.
Cyno	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 972, ATK: 25, DEF: 67	Electro	A powerful on-field DPS who truly shines in Aggravate teams with Dendro. His damage revolves around his Elemental Burst, which lasts for a very long time and allows him to unleash a steady stream of attacks. However, this duration can also be a drawback — it’s difficult to find supports capable of maintaining shields or elemental reactions for the entire length of his Burst. Compared to other main DPS characters, Cyno therefore has more convenient alternatives. Still, with the right team of Dendro and Electro supports (such as Nahida, Fischl, or Beidou), he can deliver excellent damage, though he requires careful rotation and energy management.
Dahlia	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 950, ATK: 27, DEF: 62	Cryo	A relatively new character who quickly secured her place among the strong Cryo DPS. Her damage revolves around consistent Cryo application and high efficiency in Freeze teams with Hydro characters. She stands out with good attack speed and constant on-field presence, making her comfortable to play. However, like many other Cryo damage dealers, her team options are somewhat limited — she shines brightest in Freeze setups, while her effectiveness drops noticeably in other compositions.
Diluc	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1011, ATK: 26, DEF: 61	Pyro	One of the very first Pyro DPS characters in the game, long considered a benchmark main damage dealer. Easy to use and highly effective in Vaporize and Melt teams thanks to his consistent Pyro application. While there are now characters with higher damage and greater versatility, Diluc remains a reliable and comfortable choice, especially for beginners. He’s often underrated due to his outdated kit and the fact that he used to “steal pity” in the early versions of the game, but with the right build and team he can still deliver solid damage and smooth gameplay.
Dendro Traveller	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 912, ATK: 18, DEF: 57	Dendro	A universal support available to every player for free. Provides consistent Dendro application and can control the battlefield with skills. Especially useful early in the game when the pool of Dendro characters is limited. However, over time their effectiveness decreases, as they fall behind specialized units like Nahida or Baizhu. Even so, the Traveler remains a solid budget option for Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Quicken reactions, as well as for clearing the early floors of the Abyss.
Faruzan	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 802, ATK: 16, DEF: 53	Anemo	The best support for Anemo DPS units (Xiao, Wanderer, Heizou), as she boosts their damage and reduces enemy Anemo resistance. Her main value lies in her buffs, which make Anemo carries significantly stronger. However, Faruzan reaches her full potential only at C6, which can be a drawback, though she often appears in banners, allowing players to build her up through passive farming. At lower constellations, her effectiveness is noticeably weaker, but even then, she remains a crucial part of Anemo-focused teams.
Ga Ming	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 920, ATK: 20, DEF: 59	Pyro	A DPS focused on Plunge Attacks, making him shine in teams with Xianyun, who enhances this playstyle. He provides consistent Pyro damage and can be effective in Vaporize and Melt reactions. Despite being a 4-star character, he’s capable of delivering solid damage with the right support. However, without synergy from characters who buff Plunge Attacks, his potential is much harder to unlock, making him a more niche pick compared to other Pyro DPS units.
Gorou	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 802, ATK: 17, DEF: 54	Geo	The best support for Geo teams, as he boosts allies’ Defense and provides additional buffs for characters whose strength scales with DEF (such as Itto and Noelle). He is especially valuable in teams where most of the characters are Geo, since his bonuses shine the most under these conditions. However, his usefulness drops noticeably in mixed-element parties, making Gorou a rather niche character. Even so, he remains a key component of any team built around Itto or Noelle, significantly increasing their damage and survivability.
Heizou	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 893, ATK: 19, DEF: 56	Anemo	A rare melee Anemo character who serves as a DPS. His damage scales well with Elemental Mastery, making him effective in reaction-based teams. He can deal strong damage with the right build and support, but his limited attack range requires more careful positioning. Unlike top-tier Anemo damage dealers like Xiao or Wanderer, Heizou falls short in terms of consistency and overall damage output. However, he remains an interesting and solid choice for players looking for a unique playstyle.
Ifa	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 980, ATK: 25, DEF: 63	Anemo	A new Anemo DPS specializing in damage through Swirl reactions. Thanks to his consistent Anemo application, he pairs excellently with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro characters, boosting their damage and triggering chain reactions. Ifa is easy to play and provides stable on-field damage, making him a versatile choice for many team comps. However, his effectiveness largely depends on how well the team can provide constant elemental application.
Kachina	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 910, ATK: 18, DEF: 58	Geo	A new support character focused on strengthening Geo teams. Her abilities interact well with constructs, making her especially valuable in parties with characters like Ningguang, Itto, or Chiori. Kachina provides additional buffs and stability for Geo-based comps, though her value decreases in mixed-element teams. As a 4-star unit, she’s an accessible option for players looking to reinforce their Geo squads.
Kirara	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1021, ATK: 18, DEF: 61	Dendro	A support focused on protecting the team. Her shield scales with HP and provides strong survivability, while also ensuring consistent Dendro application for Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Quicken reactions. She’s especially useful in teams where protecting the active character is crucial, such as for Hu Tao or Noelle. While her personal damage output is low, Kirara is valuable as a universal defensive support and remains a reliable choice for players who need a shield in Dendro comps.
Klee	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 800, ATK: 24, DEF: 47	Pyro	A powerful AoE Pyro DPS who delivers explosive damage to large groups of enemies. Klee’s playstyle requires good positioning and careful stamina management, which makes her more challenging to handle compared to other Pyro damage dealers. With proper support and well-planned rotations, she can unleash massive damage, especially through Vaporize and Melt reactions. However, due to her somewhat outdated kit and high demands on the player, her popularity has declined as more convenient and versatile Pyro DPS characters have appeared. Still, she remains a very strong and charismatic unit, especially for those willing to adapt to her unique mechanics.
Kujou Sara	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 802, ATK: 16, DEF: 52	Electro	A support buffer who boosts the damage of Electro DPS units, particularly effective when paired with Raiden Shogun. Her skills increase the ATK of allies and provide additional Electro application. Kujou Sara shines in teams built around Electro damage, but she requires precise positioning and careful skill usage to ensure her buffs land on the right character. At early constellations, her value is limited, but at C6 she becomes a full-fledged amplifier for Electro teams, making them significantly stronger.
Kuki Shinobu	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 912, ATK: 19, DEF: 57	Electro	A hybrid support who combines healing with consistent Electro application. She shines particularly in Hyperbloom teams, where her steady Electro application pairs perfectly with Dendro and Hydro. Her healing consumes her own HP, which can make her vulnerable in prolonged battles, but Kuki Shinobu remains one of the best Hyperbloom supports in the game and fits seamlessly into a wide variety of team compositions.
Lan Yan	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 950, ATK: 24, DEF: 60	Anemo	A new character who serves as a support in both Anemo teams and mixed compositions. She can boost her allies’ damage, control the battlefield, and maintain steady Anemo application for reactions. She is especially valuable in teams with Hydro and Cryo, where she helps trigger Freeze and Swirl reactions, making them more consistent and effective.
Layla	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 930, ATK: 17, DEF: 59	Cryo	An excellent support with a strong shield that scales from HP. She works well as an early option and can serve as a solid alternative if your Cryo team lacks a stronger shielder. She provides consistent Cryo application and improves the team’s survivability, especially in Freeze setups.
Lynette	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 912, ATK: 18, DEF: 56	Anemo	A universal support capable of providing crowd control and maintaining elemental reactions. Easy to use, making her suitable for both beginners and experienced players. She is especially valuable in teams where consistent Anemo application is needed to spread elements and enhance reactions.
Mizuki	5 Stars, HP: 1040, ATK: 27, DEF: 58	Anemo	A new character with an interesting and unique playstyle that attracts players with its dynamic mechanics. However, compared to top-tier damage dealers, he is noticeably weaker — both in terms of versatility and consistent damage output. His potential is limited and requires a strong team to shine, which makes it unlikely for him to compete with meta leaders. Overall, he can be confidently placed in B Tier: a fun character with engaging mechanics, but not a must-pull for most accounts.
Qiqi	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 963, ATK: 22, DEF: 63	Cryo	A strong healer who provides reliable health restoration for the whole team. Her abilities apply Cryo with normal attacks, making Qiqi useful for Freeze and Superconduct reactions. She shines in longer battles where survivability is crucial. However, she does have some notable downsides — a lack of energy generation, reliance on normal attacks to activate her effects, and the infamous reputation of being a “guarantee breaker” in banners, which makes many players view her less favorably.
Pyro Traveller	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 912, ATK: 18, DEF: 57	Pyro	A new element for the Traveler that provides basic Pyro application and simple team support. While limited compared to full-fledged Pyro DPS and supports, the Pyro Traveler can still be useful early on or as a temporary option for reactions with Hydro and Cryo.
Venti	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 820, ATK: 20, DEF: 52	Anemo	An Anemo Archon and one of the best controllers in the game, whose Burst can group enemies together and trigger massive reactions. However, his popularity has dropped significantly after recent patches — due to nerfs to his Burst, he lost much of his former versatility and effectiveness. While Venti used to be considered an A–S Tier character, he is now more often placed in B Tier, as his impact against bosses and heavy enemies is much lower.
Wanderer (Scaramouche)	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 791, ATK: 26, DEF: 47	Anemo	A strong Anemo DPS with a unique flight mechanic that allows him to stay mobile and deal damage from above. He’s especially effective when paired with Pyro and Cryo characters for Vaporize and Freeze reactions, which make his attacks even stronger. He’s also very convenient for world exploration thanks to his ability to hover, but his damage heavily depends on proper teammate buffs and a well-optimized artifact build.
Sethos	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 900, ATK: 18, DEF: 55	Electro	A new character who can play both as a DPS and as a support. He fits well into Electro teams, providing consistent damage and reaction support. He’s especially effective when paired with Dendro for Aggravate and Quicken, as well as with Hydro for Electro-Charged. Thanks to his versatility, he can cover multiple roles within a team.
Sigewinne	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1100, ATK: 21, DEF: 57	Hydro	A new healer with a unique healing mechanic. She provides consistent Hydro application, making her useful in reaction-based teams with Dendro and Electro. She shines particularly well in Bloom and Hyperbloom setups, boosting both survivability and overall team efficiency. For a 5-star support, she feels somewhat underwhelming, but if you have her, she will still do her job decently. Pulling for her specifically isn’t recommended—unless you really like her design or story.
Tartaglia	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 1020, ATK: 23, DEF: 63	Hydro	A hybrid Hydro damage dealer who can switch between melee and ranged stances. His unique mechanic allows him to deal high damage both to single targets and groups of enemies, while providing consistent Hydro application. He excels in reactions with Pyro (Vaporize) and Electro (Electro-Charged). Despite his strength, he requires careful management of his melee stance cooldown, which makes him less convenient compared to more straightforward Hydro DPS characters.
Tighnari	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 845, ATK: 21, DEF: 49	Dendro	A bow-wielding DPS whose main strength lies in his charged attacks, delivering high damage and providing consistent Dendro application. He pairs very well with Hydro and Electro characters for Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Quicken reactions. His gameplay is simple and easy to understand, making Tighnari a convenient choice for beginners. However, due to his reliance on charged attacks and relatively limited mobility, he falls behind more versatile Dendro DPS characters.
Thoma	4 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 866, ATK: 17, DEF: 63	Pyro	A shield support who provides protection for the team along with consistent Pyro application. He is especially valuable in Pyro teams and Burgeon reactions thanks to his shield and ability to apply the element off-field. Thoma works well in parties with Dendro and Hydro characters, but compared to stronger supports, his shield is weaker, which limits his overall versatility.
Yoimiya	5 Stars, Lvl 1 HP: 791, ATK: 25, DEF: 47	Pyro	A strong single-target Pyro DPS who specializes in focused attacks against one enemy. She shines the most in Vaporize reactions, especially when paired with Xingqiu or Yelan, who provide consistent Hydro application. Yoimiya is ideal for boss fights, but her effectiveness drops significantly in AoE situations. Despite her steady and high damage output, she still doesn’t quite measure up to many other 5-star characters, which makes her a more niche pick.

Genshin Impact Tier list: С-tier characters listed

C-tier characters fall quite a bit behind in terms of usefulness compared to the higher tiers. Most of this comes from the fact that they are either weak, overly difficult to build, or simply outclassed by far better alternatives. Of course, they are more than enough to get you through the story, but having them on your account will significantly limit the potential of your teams.

Character	Stats	Element	Role/Description
Beidou	4 Stars, HP: 1094, ATK: 19, DEF: 54	Electro	An off-field DPS with a counterattack mechanic and a shield, but she performs rather poorly as a support. Her shield isn’t very reliable, and due to her high Energy Recharge requirements, she almost always needs a dedicated battery, which greatly limits her versatility. Despite having some potential in reactions, in most cases there are far more convenient and effective Electro supports.
Chongyun	4 Stars, HP: 920, ATK: 19, DEF: 54	Cryo	A support/sub-DPS whose specialty lies in converting normal attacks into Cryo damage. He can be useful in Freeze teams, especially alongside Hydro characters, but his overall application is quite limited — outside of these setups, he often loses much of his effectiveness. Compared to other Cryo supports, he feels like a niche option, but with the right synergy, he can still provide decent value.
Dori	4 Stars, HP: 1039, ATK: 18, DEF: 60	Electro	A healer and “battery” capable of restoring energy to allies while keeping them healed. However, Dori’s damage is extremely low, her healing is outclassed by many other supports, and her effectiveness heavily relies on costly Energy Recharge. On top of that, she requires very specific teammates to function well; otherwise, she often feels underwhelming. As an alternative, players usually prefer more versatile healers and batteries like Kuki Shinobu or Bennett, who provide far greater overall value to a team.
Diona	4 Stars, HP: 802, ATK: 18, DEF: 50	Cryo	A support-healer with a shield that provides the team with consistent healing and protection. She is especially useful in Freeze teams, where her Cryo application helps trigger reactions. However, her shield is comparatively weaker than Layla’s, and her healing falls short of Kokomi’s, making her less in demand in modern team compositions. Despite this, Diona remains a convenient budget option for the early stages of the game and serves as a universal support if the player doesn’t have stronger alternatives.
Dehya	5 Stars, HP: 1220, ATK: 20, DEF: 48	Pyro	A bruiser focused on damage mitigation, with abilities that redirect part of the team’s incoming damage to herself. However, as a DPS she is extremely weak and cannot compete with other Pyro damage dealers. As a support, Dehya also looks mediocre — her abilities provide no significant buffs or team-wide enhancements, while the damage reduction and survivability she offers are far too limited. On top of that, for a 5-star character her overall impact is disappointingly low, making her one of the least worthwhile picks among rare heroes.
Electro Traveller	5 Stars, HP: 912, ATK: 18, DEF: 57	Electro	Acts as a battery with limited damage, providing the team with additional energy. However, the Electro Traveller’s effectiveness falls far behind other batteries, especially Fischl, who not only generates energy but also deals consistent off-field damage. Their personal damage is low and utility is limited, which is why in most cases players prefer more versatile and powerful Electro supports.
Freminet	4 Stars, HP: 946, ATK: 19, DEF: 63	Cryo	A DPS whose damage revolves around normal attacks and the Pressure mechanic. He can deliver consistent Cryo damage, but his playstyle is fairly limited and requires specific conditions to shine. Unlike other Cryo DPS units, he lacks versatility and often falls short compared to stronger characters like Eula or Ayaka. As a result, he usually remains a niche pick for players who enjoy his unique mechanics.
Jean	5 Stars, HP: 770, ATK: 20, DEF: 50	Anemo	A universal healer and support who combines healing with battlefield control. She can fit into different teams, but in specialized roles (shielding, buffing, strong healing, or damage) there are far more effective options. Much like Dehya, Jean suffers from having too little impact compared to other 5-star characters, making her a costly pull for such limited utility.
Kaeya	4 Stars, HP: 976, ATK: 19, DEF: 63	Cryo	A starter Cryo support available to every player for free. He’s useful in the early stages of the game thanks to consistent Cryo application and a simple, easy-to-use kit, especially in Freeze teams. However, his effectiveness drops off significantly over time — his damage is limited, and his potential is low compared to other Cryo characters, making him more of a temporary solution than a long-term core unit. With a full C6 constellation build, he can become more playable and unlock some of his potential, but achieving this is very difficult since he rarely appears in banners.
Kaveh	4 Stars, HP: 1002, ATK: 20, DEF: 60	Dendro	A DPS/support for Bloom teams whose strength revolves around interacting with Dendro Cores. His skills enhance the explosions from Bloom reactions, but this also causes him to take damage himself, making him quite vulnerable and requiring extra healing in the team. Compared to other Dendro characters, he feels weaker and less versatile, as he is almost entirely locked into Bloom setups. Despite his interesting and unique gameplay, his overall usefulness is limited, and alternatives like Nilou, Nahida, or Yaoyao handle the role much more effectively.
Keqing	5 Stars, HP: 1020, ATK: 25, DEF: 62	Electro	A main DPS with fast attacks who gained more synergy and became stronger after the release of Dendro teams thanks to Aggravate and Quicken reactions. However, she still falls short of top-tier main DPS in terms of consistency and overall damage. As a 5-star character, she feels rather questionable since there are far more powerful and versatile options available for the same "cost" of wishes. In the end, Keqing remains playable and stylish, but far from the most efficient investment among 5-star characters.
Lisa	4 Stars, HP: 802, ATK: 19, DEF: 48	Electro	Support/DPS with AoE damage and the ability to reduce enemy defense. Being available for free, she can be helpful early on, but as the game progresses, her weaknesses become more apparent — low survivability, limited damage, and long skill animations. She also competes with many stronger Electro characters (Fischl, Kuki Shinobu, Beidou), who provide far greater impact to a team. As a result, Lisa is more of a "backup option" and is rarely used in serious team compositions.
Mika	4 Stars, HP: 900, ATK: 18, DEF: 57	Cryo	Support-healer who boosts physical damage for allies while also providing healing. He shines the most in teams with Eula, where his buffs are fully utilized. However, outside of physical DPS comps, his value drops sharply — in elemental-focused teams, he has little to no use. Despite offering decent healing, he competes with far more versatile supports and healers, making him a fairly niche and limited character overall.
Ningguang	4 Stars, HP: 820, ATK: 20, DEF: 48	Geo	Geo-DPS focused on charged attacks. She can perform well in the early game and provide stable damage, especially in teams with other Geo characters. However, over time she loses relevance compared to stronger and more versatile main DPS, as her damage is limited by Geo mechanics and has weaker interaction with elemental reactions.
Noelle	4 Stars, HP: 1000, ATK: 16, DEF: 62	Geo	A support who combines both shielding and healing roles, making her useful in the early stages of the game. With C6, she can shine as a full-fledged main DPS capable of dealing significant damage, but this requires heavy investment and strong team support. Without C6 her potential is limited, and as a support she falls behind more versatile characters.
Razor	4 Stars, HP: 1002, ATK: 20, DEF: 63	Electro	A Physical DPS who was long considered one of the best 4-star main carries for beginners. His damage revolves around normal attacks and skills, with the Electro element acting more as a complement than a core feature. He performs well in the early stages of the game when the roster is limited, but over time he falls far behind modern DPS characters. Physical damage doesn’t scale well into the endgame, and his kit feels outdated compared to newer units.
Rosaria	4 Stars, HP: 1030, ATK: 20, DEF: 59	Cryo	A sub-DPS who applies Cryo and provides a crit rate buff to allies. She’s especially useful in Freeze teams and can deal consistent off-field damage. However, she competes with stronger Cryo supports and sub-DPS characters, which limits her value in the late game. A solid budget option, but in meta comps she’s often replaced by more powerful alternatives.
Sayu	4 Stars, HP: 993, ATK: 20, DEF: 63	Anemo	A healer-support with an agile playstyle that allows her to move quickly across the field while healing allies. She’s versatile and can be useful in various teams, especially early on. However, her effectiveness is lower than Jean’s or that of more specialized healers, and her damage and control are underwhelming. More often, she serves as a budget alternative rather than a solid late-game option.
Sethos	4 Stars, HP: 900, ATK: 18, DEF: 55	Electro	A new character who can function both as a DPS and support for Electro teams. However, his main strength lies in DPS, as his damage output and consistent Electro application make him effective in reactions with Dendro and Hydro. In a support role, he is significantly weaker and less valued, falling behind other dedicated support characters. He fits well in early- and mid-game stages but loses effectiveness compared to stronger heroes in the late game.
Yanfei	4 Stars, HP: 784, ATK: 20, DEF: 49	Pyro	A Catalyst DPS who deals consistent Pyro damage and works well in Vaporize and Melt reactions. Early in the game, she can be quite useful as a main damage dealer due to her simple gameplay and accessibility. However, over time she falls behind stronger Pyro DPS like Hu Tao or Klee, as well as more versatile damage dealers with higher damage ceilings. She remains a solid temporary option, but her long-term value diminishes.
Yaoyao	4 Stars, HP: 1030, ATK: 18, DEF: 63	Dendro	A 4-star healer with reliable healing and consistent Dendro application, making her an excellent choice for Bloom and Hyperbloom teams. Her abilities allow her to simultaneously sustain the team’s survivability and trigger reactions, making her versatile for different setups. However, her damage is relatively low, and her main value lies in healing and support. Still, Yaoyao remains one of the most convenient and accessible supports for Dendro teams, especially for players without Baizhu or Nahida.
Yun Jin	4 Stars, HP: 900, ATK: 16, DEF: 60	Geo	A support specializing in boosting normal attacks of allies. She is especially useful in teams with auto-attackers (such as Yoimiya or Ayato), where her bonuses are fully realized. However, due to her narrow focus, she remains rather niche — in most other setups her effectiveness is limited. Despite this, Yun Jin can be a valuable asset for players who prioritize teams built around normal attacks.

Genshin Impact Tier List: D-tier characters listed

Characters placed in the D-tier are weak in nearly any role and generally not worth investing time or resources into. The only reason to build them would be if you want to challenge yourself by trying to clear the Abyss using them.

Name	Stats	Element	Pros
Amber	4 Stars, HP: 793, ATK: 19, DEF: 50	Pyro	A free starter Pyro character. Provides elemental application through charged shots and can distract enemies with Baron Bunny. However, her damage and overall utility are minimal, making her one of the weakest characters in the game and rarely used in later stages.
Aloy	5 Stars, HP: 848, ATK: 18, DEF: 52	Cryo	A free collaboration character. Can apply Cryo and deal damage with charged attacks, but her mechanics are clunky and limited. Lacking constellations and unique progression, she quickly falls off and is noticeably weaker compared to other Cryo characters.
Traveler	5 Stars, HP: 912, ATK: 18, DEF: 57	Adaptive	Available for free from the very start of the game and able to switch elements depending on the region, making them versatile early on. However, their abilities are limited and fall far short of full-fledged 5-star characters. In the late game, they are rarely used and mostly serve as a temporary option until stronger supports are obtained.
Xinyan	4 Stars, HP: 939, ATK: 21, DEF: 67	Pyro	Possesses a shield and AoE Pyro damage, making her useful early on as a temporary support. However, her shield is unreliable and her damage is limited, which causes Xinyan to fall off heavily in the late game. She also competes with much stronger Pyro characters and supports, making her one of the weakest overall options.
