Genshin impact tier list

Genshin Impact 5.5 tier SS

Characters in this Genshin tier list outplay the most effective competition in their designated team compositions with minimal investment and are most likely to stay relevant for extended durations.

• Main DPS: Retains high damage output, which easily fits top teams and benefits from current and future support units.
• Sub DPS: Strong basic applicators and valuable teammates among top-tier players, offering significant damage.
• Support: Essential buffers to boost collective team damage and sustainers with talents to prevent whole squad elimination.

Genshin Impact 5.5 tier S

Characters that reach their peak strength with the recommended investment. There's only a small room for improvement, and they ensure that you can beat any content with ease.

• Main DPS: Top-tier characters at optimal investments, capable of competing effectively.
• Sub DPS: Damage-oriented characters that are fundamental to specific team compositions.
• Support: Provides remarkable buffs or sustain in their niche but may not fit well in other team compositions.

Genshin Impact 5.5 tier A

Characters can only become strong with maximum investment in all aspects (artifacts, weapons, team comps) to achieve similar performance as the other characters in the upper tiers. This is the cut-off point for the strongest characters in their respective roles. 

• Main DPS: Requires max investment on both their own and all three of their other teammates to be able to match up against characters in the upper tiers.
• Sub DPS: Good Elemental Applicators or damage dealers up until a point, who specifically shines in their own team comps. They are also often used in some niche or specialised team comps.
• Support: Offers specialised buffs or sustain but has certain limitations in their own kits that prevent them from being more universal.

Genshin Impact 5.5 tier B

Characters in this tier bring solid performances to their respective roles. They shine in specific team compositions but not so much individually.

• Main DPS: Characters who require max investment but may still not be enough to compete against the best DPS in the game due to limitations on their kit, stats, or talent scalings and get no sufficient help from current meta units.
• Sub DPS: Decent Elemental Application and damage on their respective team comps, but are not entirely required on such parties.
• Support: Characters who are good in their intended role but see minimal usage from the top-tier team comps versus the other characters in the higher tiers.

Genshin Impact 5.5 tier C

This tier consists of characters developed to commit to their respective roles, but can be replaced quickly because of a lack of good numbers from their talents or stats.

• Main DPS: Damage scaling is lower in comparison, but are able to do their job in the right team comp. More often than not, it's better to pick characters who can trigger better reactions.
• Sub DPS: They offer some manner of application and damage but are stunted by their own scalings or rate of application.
• Support: Characters who can offer sustain or buffs and are decent at doing it. However, there exist better alternatives that are easier or more efficient to use in the long run.

Genshin Impact 5.5 tier D

Tiers with restricted combat usability can be used if you don't have any other alternative, but it's recommended to replace them with a better character.

• Main DPS: Damage output is not reliable enough to compete effectively, even when facing proficient enemies.
• Sub DPS: Very situational with limited use, offering no significant advantage in terms of damage compared to characters of other tiers.
• Support: It assists to some extent but is easily surpassed by more agile or readily available characters under ideal team-making.
