I’m glad he had so much respect for Fischl, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, Sovereign of Immernachtreich, omniscient and eminent judge of all the world's iniquity. She’s the goat 🐐
@@gamesdivision6511 electro is carried by its characters which are good because they make use of electro’s reactions well and electro as an element kinda sucks
@Vikas lol you and some of these other comments make me think my decision to stop pulling and start hoarding wishes is the way to go. Freaking Dori ruining the banner lol
C3 Layla and boom! Shes best. His reasons didn't make sense like doesn't apply much cryo? Does she seems like a cryo nahida to him ? She works in mono cryo and freeze and it you don't have zhongli but at least c3 Layla, the shield is unmatched. Just a take.
I got a C6 Layla while pulling for Kuki and Nahida. (One of my 10 shots had 3 of her). Won't lie, I'm very happy with her as my flex in my hyperbloom team.
Diona exists. Layla only applies cryo and shield. Diona applies cryo, shields, heals, lot of energy, and even gives em boost at c6. Layla's spot in mid is warranted.
you can help provide shield in coop in c1 then just sleep . . .😂 I own c4 layla and might skip zhongli if he really comes in 4.0 bc I want other character from fountaine I know zhongli is best investment on the account but I have cheap version of him and I want other character
I'd say layla is great, she has so much uptime and her burst is fine for cryo application. Also the stars on her shield do hit enemies. I'd say she's solid
@@kindlingking I think layla's shield is stronger than diona's, and with layla's shield you practically have 100% uptime on it, though picking between them will depend on your team's needs, diona will probably be better if you need a healer, however, if you already do have that and want to trade diona's healing for small damage then layla will be better.
@@kindlingking I would say of you don't have a good shielder... in other words Zhongli. She is totally worth building!! IF you have Shenhe building a bit of damage on her is also great. Otherwise a pure HP build is perfect for her shield. As far specific teams she'd best in I'd say Mono-Cryo and Freeze. But if you just need a good shielder... She is the second best shielder in the game. Only behind Zhongli. The main reason you would build Diona over Layla at c0 is that Diona can be more forgiving because she heals if her shield breaks. I believe at c6 Diona also boosts EM. Meanwhile Layla just does more personal damage.
I recently got her and try to fit her where I can. I just wish she did more dmg but her cryo stars are pretty great in assisting in freezing things around the field
i like how u separate 4* constellations. other creators use c6 for 4* bc they assume everyone has been around long enough to have them but it’s not the case. you’re def up there for useful info
I don't think she's ever been F tier, she was off-field healer with electro application ever since the beginning and I used her a lot before Sumeru. Id' put her on A tier at least by then. But yeah Dendro and Hyperbloom have changed things a lot for her.
She was never F tier, she was good. But I think people shit on her back then just because of entertainment and that they didnt get her/underestimated her kit. She heals good, off-field, and apply element consistently. And now that we have dendro, people finally realized how good she actually is, and just cope with all the "flaws" they used to point out and talk shit about her. Like it never happened.
@@digadeh huh, she was absolute garbage without dendro. wdym lol the electro reactions except the superconduct was good. and with sumeru, we have access to the goated EM artifact set. I agree she's not an F tier back then, but not close to B either. probably a C.
Not to mention Xingqiu's Rain Swords also can provide a ton of damage reduction! I've noticed some of those later Abyss enemies can hit like freaking trucks, so the DT reduction is quite nice!
Xingqiu + Beidou can actually make you durable enough to fight against the consecrated beasts and not have a healer on the team at all, using that spot for a damage dealer instead (Tazer team or aggravate variant).
I think Kaeya has the edge over Rosaria because he can heal himself, and it's more significant because it scales off attack and his skill doesn't have a long cooldown.
hmm yeah. Kaeya has more damage though and his burst follows you. though the reason why rosaria has an edge over Kaeya is because of her crit rate buff at the cost of being a bit harder to play with her e. and she's more support oriented than Kaeya. also her e if i'm correct has the same cooldown as kaeya. however her E is almost like yae so you really have to be careful.
@@usmanya5110 rosaria is a much better support and a much better dps. she has no icd, applies cryo on every hit. she does massively more damage in reverse melt, kaeya is alright but doesn't even come close and should be at least a full tier lower if you ask me
@@alexia3552 the standard characters (Kaeya, Amber and Lisa) are the only ones who will never be on a banner. You can only get them through luck on the Standard Banner or by buying them from the starglitter shop
As a new player who got Laila as one of the first characters I have to say she is great. Her shield lasts forever and the stars apply some cryo to the enemies... I agree as I move on on the game, better characters will have a spot on my team, but she's got me where I am because I don't die so easy
I agree! She is on my team but her shield does break, usually only bosses can though. I recommend you still try to dodge, if you can't it's okay, that's what her shield is for.
Really good insights, thanks for the list! The only thing I mainly disagree with is Layla, her shield is solid af and has zero downtime, and I don't know why you said her cryo application isn't great, I find her one of the best in this role because of how large her burst's aoe is and even her shield provides off-field cryo. The only thing she falls short on is her personal damage.
layla good, but for peeps who already try both diano and her. i still cant let go "the cats" i mean well both has same and diffrent kit but diano heals and layla has 100% shield uptime. definitly great for peeps who dont have zhongli
I can't even think of a better cryo applicator in the game, it's 100% uptime, both skill AND burst apply waves of cryo, and as said you can swap out to your main DPS and cycle through your sub dps while it's going. Also, the cryo missiles are homing, you don't have to try and position yourself to hit enemies along with everything else you're doing.
Layla is S tier for me, I have her C1 and she is amazing, her shield has 100% uptime and her burst has a really wide range, she is the only thing keeping my team alive and honestly as a f2p you really dont need to invest thousand of primogems into other shielders if you have Layla
Really? I have her c1 or 2. I prefer to have a healer on my team though, and even with shielders zhongli and diona seem to offer more utility. even the new dendro girls uptime seems better
I LOVE faruzan. Even in my anemo spa teams, I find myself using faruzan on field a lot! She’s just so fun, love her character design, her voice lines and the en va did great with her!
@@alexia3552 anemo teams?? Her buff is better than bennet and a BIS for all anemo dps teams. Even at C0. Just get her ER up high and i NEVER had energy issues with her. It's always my main dps that limits
Disrespecting the shield queens Layla and Noelle both need to be bumped up a list. Diona lost her spot to layla in most my teams. Shielding is still more important than heals unless you are running triple dendro. Layla is also in a great element for consistent application. Better in freeze, better in mono cryo and better in Eula.
I'd just mention that Noelle's shield is not weird, it is op against Primo Geovishap, and she was a must have for Ruin Serpent fights and any bosses who make you deal with geo constructs. I do not have her C6, but I believe she's more of a solid rather than mid characters.
@@Forakus There's people who already did that. It's nothing new nor unbelievable as people make it out to be. Monogeo on first half, burgeon on second for the abyss lectors and baptist.
Might not be super common but I love using Kaeya and Rosaria on the same team. Give them decent ER and they'll spam their bursts on one rotation. Couple that with Bennet C6 and Kazuha and the melt/reverse melts are crazy. Kazuha pulls the enemies into her burst as well and it's just destruction
Especially C6, bc of the speed boost she gives characters, Yoimiya and Ayato (who he forgot to mention lmAo) rlly benefit from her and I wanna try and build her for them :3
buffing normal attacks is super welcome with characters who normal attack during their bursts, or like wanderer whose normal attack is his whole damage (esp with his signature weapon)
I know it's been a few months but Layla is literally so valuable. I don't have a Zhongli, so she's by far my best shield. I run her with my Hu Tao, Xingqiu and Yelan and it's absolutely amazing!
Noelle gives heals and until I got Yao Yao and Baizhu in one breath, I was running her as heals. She is also great for co op if you have goofy friends who like to hurt themselves and don't bring heals.
i gotta say, candace and yaoayo is a shockingly good core for bloom/hyperbloom/burgeon. yaoyao doing n1j during her burst has insane value, candace burst into kuki e n1, flex unit, then yaoyao burst is great ; it does have some down time without constellations but with two healers and candaces counter, you have no reason to ever die - and bloom damage is all based on kuki's element mastery anyway so the other damage is merely a bonus
While I respect this ranking, I think Heizou is more than worth pulling for and building. My current team is Yelan, Yoimiya, Heizou, and Kazuha and Heizou hits 25k-30k easy with no problems and sometimes I find myself reaching to use him more than my Yoimiya or Ayaka. He was really easy to build, especially if you’re using widsith for some extra crit
As a whale, i'd rather play heizou than xiao. He's way more fun and I find xiao's playstyle a bit annoying with the jumping and stuff. And it's heizou. duh. Cutest detective of teyvat.
Heizou is so underrated imo, my (c6) heizou has hit 100k with no supports or food buffs, he does a lot of damage while being easy to build- imo it was harder to level him up than to build him lmaoo
I think you'll come to change your mind about Heizou if you actually built a team around him. I mean, dude can hit a milly with his punch. Not a lot of characters can do that. Run lavawalker on him. Bennett, and another pyro and it's wraps for anything in the game
Love this tier list. I ended up using a Guilded/Glad Chongyun in the hardest Abyss cycle to date as a burst nuke against the 12-3 priest boss, and he really worked well to shred the Hydro shield and do quick big numbers in the short span of time you have to deal DMG to the boss. Personally I would rate him higher than C6 Collei because of that aspect of his kit alone - super quick burst DMG that can deal big numbers, and can melt every time with the right team comp!
I think Beidou is very underrated. I agree with where you put her. She is one of the highest damaging characters in the game even against 5 stars when she's in scenarios with 2 targets. my Beidou does 27k per tick and she does 5 ticks per second in scenarios with 2 targets so that's 135k dmg per second, very underrated.
Good list, i mostly agree and could follow your reasoning. One placement i cannot leave uncommented though, sorry: Faruzan earns her spot in a Team before c6. She's at least mid. yes she's niche. yes she needs tons of energy until c6, but that's only loss on her personal damage. BUT: 30% anemo res reduction and 18-38% anemo dmg bonus is a lot, especially anemo shred is very rare. 80% buff uptime at c0 (the effect lasts 4s after the last pulse, so it's not only 12 sec) is sufficient, and 100% uptime at c2 is amazing. the more an anemo user is your hypercarry, the more faruzan deserves that spot. her charged atk feels less clunky than sara pre c6 and her buff is more significant. She brought my xiao damage to a new level at c0, measurably. is she perfect? no, but she has workarounds like favonius bow and an ER sands. For f2p players without all the premium supports but a decent xiao, she'll often be your best choice for the 4th slot even at c0. i can't speak for wanderer.
My friend has Scaramouche and C0 Faruzan. She told me Scara literally hits like a wet noodle without Faruzan, so yeah. Definitely mid at least, not bottom tier like video uploader said. Like dude, name me one other character in the entire game who can shred anemo resistances right off the bat, with no constellations (and she's even a 4 star). The only other one is Zhongli, and he's a 5 star. She also works with Heizou too, hell even Sucrose becomes a dps with Faruzan if you crown Sucrose's normal attacks and give her any dps catalysts.
Ig I'll speak for wanderer :'), I am a wanderer main and I love using him! He is very fun for overworld and I think he is the main character you'll need for your exploration team! He isn't bad without c6 faruzan or faruzan in general! I use him with C1 faruzan and I use mappa mare with goofy aah artifacts and he hits pretty well in my opinion! I have never used Xiao like you have never used wanderer but wanderer kinda needs faruzan for him to be noticed :') so I think Xiao is a better unit for abyss, idk lol. I said a bit of useless information but I hope it makes a lil sense
Sayu is great for exploring and farming.. she can easily get minerals, she goes fast and she can get close to animals which is good if you need yo collect frogs or lizzards 🤭.
I'm a collei main and to be honest, when you build her dps with the right artifacts and weapons, she can do 20k to 30k charged attacks / 50k to 60k charged attacks with buffs. I really enjoy her gameplay and I love being in co op seeing people be shocked at my dps collei lol.
Ningguang is the best 4 star character in my opinion, she CARRIES me. she's the strongest character I have and I barely have to invest any time into building her. super satisfying attacks and super easily to use, I highly recommend.
I would assume your opinion is heavily influenced by *your* gameplay, but this list is all about genshin characters as a whole. She's good, but not that great. And if she's the strongest, I would assume you have none of the best 5 star dps out there lol
@@oliverpal1937 2x Glad 2x Viridescent Atk% sands, Anemo DMG% Goblet Crit DMG% circlet C0 R1 Staff of Homa --- 62.3% Crit rate 229.6% Crit Dmg 2,539 Atk value --- Team: Xiao(C0), Faruzan(C1), Bennet(C4), Xiangling(C6) --- Highest he's ever done was 90-100k fighting Raiden in coop, but he was buffed by the other players instead of my team.
My C6 Yaoyao is one of my proudest max cons. She has been a staple in my team comps for the healing and the dendro application. When I first started playing Genshin and did not have any team comps, she kept my Xiao alive while also working well with Mona and Bennett. (My Xiao was a glass cannon in the beginning rng hates me)
He's alright in the spot he is. He's not better than other anemo supports, nor other anemo dps. Other than VV shred, he doesn't bring much to the table.
there is a main difference between kaeya and rosaria that you didn't mention which i think really changes the ranking: the ascension talents. rosarias first ascension talent gives her up to 15% crit rate boost after teleporting behind an enemy and striking them with her skill. her second talent gives the on field character (that isnt rosaria) an up to 15% crit rate boost once her burst is deployed. kaeyas first acension talent regenerates hp up to 15% of his attack when an opponent is hit with his burst and his second talent generates 2 additional elemental particles when an opponent is frozen with his burst. imo, i think the pretty huge crit rate boost rosaria gives to the team gives her an edge up over kaeya since it allows her to not just be a better cryo support but also a more viable option of a main dps. just my opinion ^_^
Kaeya's whole kit just leans more to the main dps role. It's why I favor mommy Rosaria more, she just provides so much to my team, especially now that I have her at C4
He gets hp back when he hits an opponent with his skill, not burst. And that thing stacks, so if you line it up to hit 4 enemies or more, he can pretty much heal himself. But yes, Rosaria should be a high A tier and Kaeya low A tier simply because of that crit rate boost rosaria gives.
I got Yaoyao in her first banner pretty early on my game (i started genshin on December) and i completely love her, she's a great healer her dendro application can be very broked and she's really easy to build, don't sleep on her
As someone who is currently a Rosaria main (Waiting until Venti's banner to reappear to wish for him), I like that Rosaria got A tier. Also, for those that want to make Rosaria better, here's a tip: Turn her into a Tank. What I mean by this give her jacked attack, jacked hp, and the highest defence that you can, and try to keep those 3 things in balance. If you do it right like I did, you should get a version of Rosaria that could hold her own against a Final Fantasy XIV Tank character of the same level.
Not gonna lie, I got Sayu pretty early as a F2P and I used her as my DPS for a long time. Now I use her for healing because I still really love her but I’m glad to see the appreciation
Recently got Bennett to C5 and decided to build him and MAN he gets the job done as a buffer AND a healer. Now I see myself putting him in almost all of my team comps especially my Vap comps
For me Collei is great on an aggravate team because she's currently the only (I think?) character that applies dendro around the active character (requires C2). She's just really comfy to play with Cyno. And since I have her built already, I use her with my Tighnari from time to time as well. I just remembered Baizhu exists, but he's less accessible.
i use layla for my ganyu cause i don't have zonghli, but dear lord im so thankful for her, she keeps my ganyu alive and once her shield duration is gone, OO LOOK AT THAT, HER SKILL IS READY AGAIN, also her burst applies cryo and with xiangling's burst, it really help with melting lots of enemies, that too i have her at lvl 60 and she survives big enemy attacks that are lv 90+ if you want strong shield but too broke for zonghli, do use her :'D
Thank you for saying that you have to learn and master Ningguang to use her, as Ningguang main I feel appreciated 💛 and it's true what u said, my team is tailored for her and with geo being geo I can't use her that often in abbys
Personally of the four stars in the SS tier, I would rank them like this: c6 Xingqiu > c1 Bennett > c6 Sucrose > c2 Kuki > c6 Xiangling > c6 Fischl. Bennett has been phasing out of the meta the slightest bit, believe it or not, with all the new HP/EM scalers and dendro teams that don't want his pyro application. Meanwhile Xingqiu got buffed by dendro. His usage only looks lower because people rather use the waifu version of him.
And that's the thing about Xingqiu. You can replace him (not that that makes him less). Bennett on the other hand still doesn't have a 5-star version so he's irreplaceable still on the meta. (Just making a point. Not really discrediting XQ.)
@@Forakusbut that's the purpose of this tier list. To judge a character base on their abilities without comparing to any other character. So as an anemo VV driver, Heizou is great. I'll put him in A tier, and his personal dmg is nothing to be laughed at, easily do 50k punch E with decent build. In single target scenerio, he might be on par with Sucrose also
Xinyan's shield is just garbage and that's supposed to be half her appeal, for me she's below F tier. Heizou is actually fun to play and as you said, VV holder and can do quite nice damage even without his burst
I laugh at those who don't build Layla now. Schneznaya is coming soon, which means more cryo enemies, which means Layla would soon be the new best shielder in the game. She is already more flexible than zhongli for team comps. She hard carries my team in abyss
Really solid and valuable tier list, definitely felt like it was fair to all the characters' capabilities as a unit. My only quibble was calling Thoma "the weeb abroad" -- his father is an Inazuman so he's half Japanese, basically XD
This is somewhat off topic but, half japanese, funny enough, is not considered japanese in Japan lol Which can get pretty rough growing up(speaking based on a friend of mine)
based editing from Alina! the vr and rosaria moments get me every time XD i really love layla's shield and she's just so cute! i hope i get her C6 one day. thanks for the fire vid, very helpful!
That Yun Jin and Layla physically hurt me. How do you put her and Mika on a diff level if Yun Jin is C6. THEY ARE USED IN SIMILAR COMPS, AND TYPICALLY MIKA IS CUT OUT! Also, lower Collei. She is so blatantly outclassed (BY OTHER 4 STARS) and just sucks overall.
Funny no one mention that Rosaria is a support while Kaeya is often used as a DPS. I see so much Kaeya Mains... And he does a great job. My Kaeya is C5 (cant wait until june...)10, 13,13. Crit rate 50 % but Blizzard Strayer 15% + his first constellation 15% + when used his skill ( or you run him with any other cryo) and opponents are on cryo another 15%. Crit Dmg 197%. He is almost perfekt. At C6 he is a absolut beast .My main Team with Ayaka, Raiden and Xingxiu. Depend on situation replace the hydro or cryo spot with Ayato or Senhe. And sorry to say it, my Rosaria is build very well, her Talents maxed, but she dosen´t reach his damage not even on C6. Often her burst annoys me because enemys step out of it many times. I can do Kaeyas burst the second it runs out again and it stands by me. Also his ATK is higher than of few 5 Stars and also higher than of some Claymore users (c6). Mine hits with NA around 2800, with CA around 3700 - 4500, also he heals himself on every opponent he hits with frostgnaw by 300. Altough this not sound much but he heals on every opponent he hits. Have to mention again that I miss his C6 and don´t finished building him yet. And also the fact, that he often is the last men standing. He is really amazing. Not regret him 1 Sec! Btw, often Benny C6 is unlocked to run Melt Kaeya. Will never do but a lot of players choose to do so.
I accidentally got Kuki C5 while trying to get a single copy of Nilou. I got annoyed at it until I looked at what she did and realized I got insanely lucky with how many I got of her LOL
As someone who just started playing genshin couple days, this vid is very helpful to me to focus on which 4 star characters i should build. I got xingqiu and sucrose from the 1st 10 pull and had no idea how to use them, so here i am 😊 thanks a lot
If they just started the game a few days ago they probably don't have those five stars lol Hey, investing in four stars like Bennett, Sucrose, Xingqiu, Fishl and Xiangling (even without constellations) is a good idea because they are flexible and you can put them in any team in future. But playing with whoever you want and having fun It's the best advice I can give you 😊
Maybe its because im a Heizou stan but when he put him low because of comparisons to Xaio and Wanderer when he put Razor Collei and Lisa above him despite them being clearly outclassed by 5 Stars of their respective elements-
13:00 Actually... -Diona doesn't do damage cuz she wasn't made for that... (have you ever thought of that? Incredible right???) -She might not be the best battery (in theory), but she sheilds, heals, gives speed boost, and EM at c6. ARE YOU NOT SATISFIED? -Her heals are amizing btw, she always saves me when I most need it. -Lastly, her shield is actually really good and if you wanna compare, It's just slighly worse than Layla's! *Conclusion: The best thing in her is the amount of things she can do, even if she's not 'ThE bEsT' in every singe category, Especially considering she's A FRAKING FOUR STAR-* Oh yeah also pls stop saying Bennett is a great HEALER and here's why: -he only heals with his burst, wich has a really small AoE -he only heals until 70% So yeah hes an amazing character but pls, not as a healer
I agree with most of the placements, but I highly disagree with Yunjin. She's niche, yes, but that shouldn't be much of a problem since Faruzan and Gorou are literally placed on Amazing tier when they only have 1-2 teams they're good with. She's actually useful to more teams than those two. At C2, she's already on par with Bennett for Yoimiya teams. Most Eula teams have the 4th slot flexible which you can run Yunjin with since her NAs are 50% of her damage. Not only that, we also have other NA DPSes like Ayato. She should at least be Solid tier. EDIT: Also, Sara should definitely be the highest among Faruzan and Gorou. She has a more generalist buff that more characters can benefit from since there are more DPS and sub DPS characters from electro (Yae, Beidou, Fischl, Raiden, Lisa, etc.). Also, at C6, she provides full buff with her skill and burst so easily while also dealing personal damage. Heck Gorou only buffs Itto and Noelle that well. Even Ningguang (who is literally from the same element as Gorou) doesn't even benefit that much. You might as well use Bennett instead. And for Faruzan, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know, you only get her full buff from her burst, while Sara provides the same buff with her burst and skill so she's not burst dependent as Faruzan.
Thing about Gorou and Faruzan is that they borderline irreplaceable as supports for their designated carries. Sara’s issue is that Fischl exist and in most cases would perform about as good as Sara, but you don’t have to deal with all the clunk in Sara’s kit. Yunjin is also extremely replacable, but on top of that, unlike most buffers where you don’t really care about their stats besides ER, you do care about Yunjin’s stats - you have to build BOTH good amount of defence and ER, ideally with crit on top of that to proc favonius. And THEN her buff is ST. In most cases running her just not worth it
Candance applies a lot of hydro so is good in hyperbloom, below xingqiu and yelan but still viable. Hydro infused weapons are different sources so they have separate icds, the hydro during swaps and hydro attacks with c6 can allow a lot of hydro application. Team comps like nahida candance kuki xingqiu. Should be in A tier
She could be really good but there isn’t a good sensor unit she can infuse so she is in this pit of being potentially really good but there just isn’t a unit in the game who would benefit from her in a bloom team
I didn't understand Candace until like, yesterday. I somehow missed that she gives hydro infusion to normal attacks and thought her damage and use was just the hydro AoE when swapping characters so I benched her a year ago and didn't look back lol. Working on figuring out a good team for her now!
Faruzan C6 basically makes her into a Anemo Bennett but she is still good at C0.Yes you might need around 275 ER with R5 Fav Bow but if you can play her she will boost your damage by a good margin. The only character that can replace her in the comp is probably Jean if you have her C2/C4.
My approach to pulling for 4-stars is, I decide on how many pulls I'm going to invest in advance and then accept the result. If you can't have a guarantee, you need to be fine with not getting your 4-star.
although i wouldn't put sara higher than she is, i wanted to add that if you like her and have her at c6, you can build her for damage she also does very respectable burst dmg. I use her in hyper raiden teams and she's an extra 100k nuke, sometimes i can even use her to clear out mobs or weaker enemies to save raiden burst.
Honestly, people throw c6 Bennett way out of proportion. Sure he messes up some teams, but the thing is, in all of the teams he messes up, which is a very limited amount, there are better options for that team’s win condition.
Brother I've seen heizou doing 2 milion damage with right combination on engineering plastics youtube channel. Heizou is truly anemo dps. Definitely solid B and above with right selection. Even c0 heizou can do 80k damage without elemental reaction I've seen that in game.
I think your tier list is great and I like the fact that you took your time to explain why you were putting each character in each category, and I agree with most of them. However, I think you positioned Layla a bit too low. One of her upsides, compared to Diona, is that she can run the 4pc ToM set and benefits of its 2 buffs (shield strength and atk buff). At C1, she also gives a very good long lasting shield to all party members which only C2 Zhongli does, and the majority of the playerbase don't have him at that constellation. Diona can also gives shields to teammates bit they last only 5 seconds and aren't that strong. I don't have her C4 so I'm not sure if it's that effective but it also gives a normal and charge attack bonus based on her max HP. Anyway, I think that she is a great substitute for Zhongli who also buffs character damage through different ways (artifact set and constellation)
I have both Mika and Faruzan C0 and they work perfectly fine in the early game, and Faruzan is definitely worth it as she’s my only other bow character apart from Amber and I get much more use from her for exploration than I do Amber :))
my tip for people that's trying to compile 4 star cons in limited banner is ATLEAST 2/3 of the 4 star you want cons are there and in the 5 star banner that you like more or a character that would help your account when you don't have the guarantee, if you want to be decently safe maybe pull up 70 pity then stop there so you can get a chance to pull another 10 or single pulls to a 5 star banner that you like more than the banner you're pulling the 4 star
Yeah yeah No. I pulled for c1 Layla and got Diluc on 28. Still no c1 Layla. Then i got Nahida on 11. So only pull for 4* preparing that you also get a 5*.
IMO they need to add a Lantern-rite like invitation event for each region. 1 guaranteed 4* character from each region per year isn't going to break the game (and hell might encourage them to actually wish more to try and fill out Cons of a 4* they like), and would help people be a lot less frustrated if they really want a character that isn't on the glitter-shop.
As a new player tier lists are usually a thing I avoid but this is actually a pretty good basic breakdown on how the 4 stars work at C0 vs with constellations.
Layla is great. One of the most consistent shields in the game and the CD is not so bad. I have her on C2 and I have never replaced her on my main team.
I really think Mika was a little underrated, because beside his buffs for Physical he also has a Atk speed buff, which is greater then any other (whicher are exclusive to Constellations of other Characters or Weapons, like: C2 Jean, C4 Ayato and C6 Yunjin), another thing is that he actually has a pretty consistent heal at C1 and he peaks at efficiency for ASPD characters (Ayato, Wanderer and Yoimiya) at C5, but can be used even at C0.
i was actually praying beidou wouldnt go into mid tier so bad. im a beidou main and her counter-e + the c1 burst shield is EVERYTHING to me, i love her sm
fair placement, top of A tier, bc sometimes there is only one enemy and/or he attacks too infrequently to counter edit: prolly an unpopular opinion but i prefer beidou (c6) to fischl (c4)
@@davidng8870 completely agree with this. i run her on a hyperbloom/freeze team for the time being and her e cd is a bit too long for me. c6 beidou > c4 fischl anyday
I absolutely commend you for tripple crowning Yun Jin. She's gorgeous, talented, and such a fair little lady. I wish I had to materials to tripple crown her myself because I also love her just that much but my three crowns are going to my Hu Tao because I love her about just as much and she's just way more powerful and so stupidly good as a DPS.
I'm a new player (AR32) and every one I've received is from your mid tier or lower, Kuki being the only exception. If I hadn't gotten her I prolly woulda just gave up bc my luck is terrible 😢😅
Once you reach ar50 you'll have more characters double of the amount you have right now. Just trust me ~ I had only Hu Tao in AR48 now I'm ar 60 and I can easily say just be patient.
I started a new account to build my characters properly... The first and second accounts were not so good. Maybe I'll get back to them one day. These tutorials help me a lot to understand this game. Thanks a lot.
C6 Bennett is great because Eula pryo is better than Eula physical :)) My Eula melt team deal 33-40k per hit while physical is 20k per hit. As someone who like to play normal attack Eula because of the aesthetic it's a good thing.
I really hope miyoho add a new 4☆ solid normal attack buffer in the future, it will help a lot of very strong DPS's like Yoimi, Haitham, Wrio and Ayato!
Played for 3 years and still using international for my teams in spiral abyss. razor, diluc, ganyu melt, ayaka freeze, hu tao/sucrose overvape/taser have all constantly been replaced until the hyperbloom team of nahida yelan xingqiu kuki which has only similar clear time with the international team. Xiangling is op, I recently found out royal spear r5 is really good on her as she can snapshot 5% crit rate on guoba plus one normal attack to get 5 stacks to snapshot 85% crit rate on her pyronado.
I love my xingqiu and c6 kuki shinobu. Can wait for xingqiu to be back in the start glitter so I can start getting constellations. Xingqiu is the perfect sub dps to enable my Keqing to electro charge everything to death.
I agree with almost all of these except for Layla and Gorou. Layla although she isnt the best shield the stars hit enemy’s giving cryo damage which is good for a lot of teams, he burst also had huge range and can hit more than one enemy giving even more cryo. And although Gorou is good he’s only good on 1-3 teams making him useless unless u have those teams, and even though u could find a use on other teams there still would be wayyy better choices to switch him out with. so I think they should switch.
I honestly thought not having C6 Faruzan meant she was trash too, but I then decided to use my C1 level 50 Faruzan to see if this was true and my Heizou went from hitting well under 200k to hitting almost 200! Now with a slightly more leveled Faruzan, he’s managed to hit 250k :D Dps wise, Heizou is probably one of the best dps 4 stars, but I agree that if you don’t main him then he’s not worth it.
Honkai star rail gives you your choice of a free 5 star character from the regular banner (so likenthe characters you get in genshins reg banner or when u lose a 50/50.. diluc, Jean, qiqi etc.) When you get to 300 pulls , the game also has various points , (not a whole bunch but at least 3 to 4 in the first like 3 weeks) gives you a 10 pack of star rail passes , iblve meber seen genshin give out more then like 2 wishes at a time I feel like lol
Your channel has been so helpful to me. Im just started playing like two days ago, and i think i already have a pretty good insight into the game just because i watched some of your vids. Ofc i have a lot to learn, but i already know where to look for info. As a constructive tip, when doing this tier lists maybe it wouldbe better to put your cam window in the lower right corner of the screen, so we can see better the characters in the upper tiers. Just a tip. Great video dude tysm 😊

Got Kuki once and Dori three times. Can confirm pulling for a 4 star has been the hardest pill to swallow as a new f2p player
I pulled 155 times , got c4 kuki bro
Still a w.. I got 2-3 dori 2-3 layla and 2 kuki from 80-90 pulls
Also dehya and Nahida
100 pulls and got C4 Dori and thankfully 1 kuki
5 Layla,4 Dori but only 2 kuki😂 in 210 pulls
@Vikas lol you and some of these other comments make me think my decision to stop pulling and start hoarding wishes is the way to go. Freaking Dori ruining the banner lol
Honestly, to put Layla C6 on mid is a crime. One of the strongest shields and great for freeze teams. As well as yungin
Fr
C3 Layla and boom! Shes best. His reasons didn't make sense like doesn't apply much cryo? Does she seems like a cryo nahida to him ? She works in mono cryo and freeze and it you don't have zhongli but at least c3 Layla, the shield is unmatched.
Just a take.
I got a C6 Layla while pulling for Kuki and Nahida. (One of my 10 shots had 3 of her). Won't lie, I'm very happy with her as my flex in my hyperbloom team.
Diona exists. Layla only applies cryo and shield. Diona applies cryo, shields, heals, lot of energy, and even gives em boost at c6. Layla's spot in mid is warranted.
you can help provide shield in coop in c1 then just sleep . . .😂
I own c4 layla and might skip zhongli if he really comes in 4.0 bc I want other character from fountaine
I know zhongli is best investment on the account but I have cheap version of him and I want other character
I'd say layla is great, she has so much uptime and her burst is fine for cryo application. Also the stars on her shield do hit enemies.
I'd say she's solid
Randomly got her at C2 from standard banner (yeah)? Should I bother building her? My Diona is at c0.
@@kindlingking I think layla's shield is stronger than diona's, and with layla's shield you practically have 100% uptime on it, though picking between them will depend on your team's needs, diona will probably be better if you need a healer, however, if you already do have that and want to trade diona's healing for small damage then layla will be better.
@@kindlingking I would say of you don't have a good shielder... in other words Zhongli. She is totally worth building!! IF you have Shenhe building a bit of damage on her is also great. Otherwise a pure HP build is perfect for her shield.
As far specific teams she'd best in I'd say Mono-Cryo and Freeze. But if you just need a good shielder... She is the second best shielder in the game. Only behind Zhongli.
The main reason you would build Diona over Layla at c0 is that Diona can be more forgiving because she heals if her shield breaks. I believe at c6 Diona also boosts EM. Meanwhile Layla just does more personal damage.
I recently got her and try to fit her where I can. I just wish she did more dmg but her cryo stars are pretty great in assisting in freezing things around the field
Layla's shield I think is second strongest after Zhongli's so I'd definitely build her. I use her a ton actually
i like how u separate 4* constellations. other creators use c6 for 4* bc they assume everyone has been around long enough to have them but it’s not the case. you’re def up there for useful info
Exactly. I didn’t even know what C anything meant I started 2 weeks ago
@@ShyBabyConstellations when you get a character more than once. You have to get a character 7 times to have them at Constellation 6.
I still can't believe how kuki went from F tier to SS tier just because dendro was added to game
I don't think she's ever been F tier, she was off-field healer with electro application ever since the beginning and I used her a lot before Sumeru. Id' put her on A tier at least by then. But yeah Dendro and Hyperbloom have changed things a lot for her.
She was never F tier, she was good. But I think people shit on her back then just because of entertainment and that they didnt get her/underestimated her kit. She heals good, off-field, and apply element consistently.
And now that we have dendro, people finally realized how good she actually is, and just cope with all the "flaws" they used to point out and talk shit about her. Like it never happened.
@@digadeh huh, she was absolute garbage without dendro. wdym lol the electro reactions except the superconduct was good. and with sumeru, we have access to the goated EM artifact set. I agree she's not an F tier back then, but not close to B either. probably a C.
@@Phantaxma U r already wrong starting from your 1st sentence.
it's ok, you have your opinion man.
Not to mention Xingqiu's Rain Swords also can provide a ton of damage reduction! I've noticed some of those later Abyss enemies can hit like freaking trucks, so the DT reduction is quite nice!
Xingqiu + Beidou can actually make you durable enough to fight against the consecrated beasts and not have a healer on the team at all, using that spot for a damage dealer instead (Tazer team or aggravate variant).
Fr xinqiu goated ✨️🏆🐏
I think Kaeya has the edge over Rosaria because he can heal himself, and it's more significant because it scales off attack and his skill doesn't have a long cooldown.
hmm yeah. Kaeya has more damage though and his burst follows you. though the reason why rosaria has an edge over Kaeya is because of her crit rate buff at the cost of being a bit harder to play with her e. and she's more support oriented than Kaeya. also her e if i'm correct has the same cooldown as kaeya. however her E is almost like yae so you really have to be careful.
@@usmanya5110 rosaria is a much better support and a much better dps. she has no icd, applies cryo on every hit. she does massively more damage in reverse melt, kaeya is alright but doesn't even come close and should be at least a full tier lower if you ask me
His constellations are also insane but after a year playing I can't remember seeing a Kaeya rate-up banner so I don't have any lol
@@alexia3552 the standard characters (Kaeya, Amber and Lisa) are the only ones who will never be on a banner. You can only get them through luck on the Standard Banner or by buying them from the starglitter shop
Nah, Rosaria is definitely better. The crit stat is going to the main dps, not the sub
As a new player who got Laila as one of the first characters I have to say she is great. Her shield lasts forever and the stars apply some cryo to the enemies... I agree as I move on on the game, better characters will have a spot on my team, but she's got me where I am because I don't die so easy
I agree! She is on my team but her shield does break, usually only bosses can though. I recommend you still try to dodge, if you can't it's okay, that's what her shield is for.
Really good insights, thanks for the list!
The only thing I mainly disagree with is Layla, her shield is solid af and has zero downtime, and I don't know why you said her cryo application isn't great, I find her one of the best in this role because of how large her burst's aoe is and even her shield provides off-field cryo. The only thing she falls short on is her personal damage.
Layla singlehandedly carries my almost dead Hu Tao without struggles. Shield always on cd is lit. And it never breaks.
layla good, but for peeps who already try both diano and her. i still cant let go "the cats" i mean well both has same and diffrent kit but diano heals and layla has 100% shield uptime.
definitly great for peeps who dont have zhongli
I can't even think of a better cryo applicator in the game, it's 100% uptime, both skill AND burst apply waves of cryo, and as said you can swap out to your main DPS and cycle through your sub dps while it's going. Also, the cryo missiles are homing, you don't have to try and position yourself to hit enemies along with everything else you're doing.
Honestly, Heizou should be a bit higher. He's doing a real good job as an elemental driver in a electro charged team
The disrespect putting Heizou and Layla C6 below Xinyan... I'm coming for you!
SO MUCH DISRESPECT!!! There's no universe where Xinyan can look down on Heizou
I agree! My C5 Layla is a tremendous help in abyss as well as clearing Sumeru content and barely touching food.
Layla is S tier for me, I have her C1 and she is amazing, her shield has 100% uptime and her burst has a really wide range, she is the only thing keeping my team alive and honestly as a f2p you really dont need to invest thousand of primogems into other shielders if you have Layla
She flew under my radar until i found out she is amazing especially in fridge combos
Really? I have her c1 or 2. I prefer to have a healer on my team though, and even with shielders zhongli and diona seem to offer more utility. even the new dendro girls uptime seems better
I wish I had C1 😭 BUT I TOTALLY AGREE, she helps my wanderer so much and has pretty low investment!
@@JustAnotherAppole I have C3 by now, she is still a important part of my team and you literally only need to give her HP% Artifacts 😭
I have C6 Layla, and my Wanderer is happy in the air with that shield.
I LOVE faruzan. Even in my anemo spa teams, I find myself using faruzan on field a lot! She’s just so fun, love her character design, her voice lines and the en va did great with her!
Faru C2 is usable.
Faru C6 is more valuable than Xiao, Wanderer
she is better than Beidou, Diona, Grorou, Sara etc.
I need to play with her more, I feel like I could enjoy her but I haven't figured out a good team for her
@@alexia3552 anemo teams?? Her buff is better than bennet and a BIS for all anemo dps teams. Even at C0. Just get her ER up high and i NEVER had energy issues with her. It's always my main dps that limits
Disrespecting the shield queens Layla and Noelle both need to be bumped up a list. Diona lost her spot to layla in most my teams. Shielding is still more important than heals unless you are running triple dendro. Layla is also in a great element for consistent application. Better in freeze, better in mono cryo and better in Eula.
Mihoyo cant make another noelle-like player because she's invincible and easily cranks out 50k crits. People who make lists should play them first
@@Forakus during the geo Meta could clear the abyss with a 3 team of Noelle, Zhongli and Albedo. Not the case anymore too many element requirements
I'd just mention that Noelle's shield is not weird, it is op against Primo Geovishap, and she was a must have for Ruin Serpent fights and any bosses who make you deal with geo constructs. I do not have her C6, but I believe she's more of a solid rather than mid characters.
Noelle’s shield has awful uptime she’s not good for shielding. Decent character but her shield sucks
@@Forakus There's people who already did that. It's nothing new nor unbelievable as people make it out to be. Monogeo on first half, burgeon on second for the abyss lectors and baptist.
Might not be super common but I love using Kaeya and Rosaria on the same team. Give them decent ER and they'll spam their bursts on one rotation. Couple that with Bennet C6 and Kazuha and the melt/reverse melts are crazy. Kazuha pulls the enemies into her burst as well and it's just destruction
now I'm even more sad I ran out of primos on Kazuha banner 😭
Yunjin shouldnt be so low imo, she is niche but on the teams she works with shes super nice
He tried too hard not to be a fanboy.
Her niche is being the queen, therefore she belongs in S tier
Especially C6, bc of the speed boost she gives characters, Yoimiya and Ayato (who he forgot to mention lmAo) rlly benefit from her and I wanna try and build her for them :3
Yun Jin literally can't die either, her skill could survive a literal nuke.
buffing normal attacks is super welcome with characters who normal attack during their bursts, or like wanderer whose normal attack is his whole damage (esp with his signature weapon)
I know it's been a few months but Layla is literally so valuable. I don't have a Zhongli, so she's by far my best shield. I run her with my Hu Tao, Xingqiu and Yelan and it's absolutely amazing!
Ooh, melt is a big bonus vs just Zhongli shred and she's excellent for that
Noelle gives heals and until I got Yao Yao and Baizhu in one breath, I was running her as heals.
She is also great for co op if you have goofy friends who like to hurt themselves and don't bring heals.
i gotta say, candace and yaoayo is a shockingly good core for bloom/hyperbloom/burgeon. yaoyao doing n1j during her burst has insane value, candace burst into kuki e n1, flex unit, then yaoyao burst is great ; it does have some down time without constellations but with two healers and candaces counter, you have no reason to ever die - and bloom damage is all based on kuki's element mastery anyway so the other damage is merely a bonus
Most fun Nilou bloom playstyle, and it works
I used to judge Candace but got her c6 during this banner and I'm so happy I did
Yeah, a lot have been said about how Candace is good with Yaoyao, especially in the Nilou team, but it is only viable with C6 Candace :(
I see babygirl Thoma in thumbnail, I click
Thoma ( British Accent ) is best 🤩
While I respect this ranking, I think Heizou is more than worth pulling for and building. My current team is Yelan, Yoimiya, Heizou, and Kazuha and Heizou hits 25k-30k easy with no problems and sometimes I find myself reaching to use him more than my Yoimiya or Ayaka. He was really easy to build, especially if you’re using widsith for some extra crit
As a whale, i'd rather play heizou than xiao. He's way more fun and I find xiao's playstyle a bit annoying with the jumping and stuff. And it's heizou. duh. Cutest detective of teyvat.
Heizou is so underrated imo, my (c6) heizou has hit 100k with no supports or food buffs, he does a lot of damage while being easy to build- imo it was harder to level him up than to build him lmaoo
Same here. My C0 Heizou does more damage than my Childe. I often reach for him instead of the 5*-s I have in my team.
I think you'll come to change your mind about Heizou if you actually built a team around him. I mean, dude can hit a milly with his punch. Not a lot of characters can do that. Run lavawalker on him. Bennett, and another pyro and it's wraps for anything in the game
Love this tier list. I ended up using a Guilded/Glad Chongyun in the hardest Abyss cycle to date as a burst nuke against the 12-3 priest boss, and he really worked well to shred the Hydro shield and do quick big numbers in the short span of time you have to deal DMG to the boss. Personally I would rate him higher than C6 Collei because of that aspect of his kit alone - super quick burst DMG that can deal big numbers, and can melt every time with the right team comp!
I think Beidou is very underrated. I agree with where you put her. She is one of the highest damaging characters in the game even against 5 stars when she's in scenarios with 2 targets. my Beidou does 27k per tick and she does 5 ticks per second in scenarios with 2 targets so that's 135k dmg per second, very underrated.
Good list, i mostly agree and could follow your reasoning. One placement i cannot leave uncommented though, sorry:
Faruzan earns her spot in a Team before c6. She's at least mid.
yes she's niche. yes she needs tons of energy until c6, but that's only loss on her personal damage. BUT: 30% anemo res reduction and 18-38% anemo dmg bonus is a lot, especially anemo shred is very rare. 80% buff uptime at c0 (the effect lasts 4s after the last pulse, so it's not only 12 sec) is sufficient, and 100% uptime at c2 is amazing. the more an anemo user is your hypercarry, the more faruzan deserves that spot. her charged atk feels less clunky than sara pre c6 and her buff is more significant. She brought my xiao damage to a new level at c0, measurably. is she perfect? no, but she has workarounds like favonius bow and an ER sands. For f2p players without all the premium supports but a decent xiao, she'll often be your best choice for the 4th slot even at c0.
i can't speak for wanderer.
My friend has Scaramouche and C0 Faruzan. She told me Scara literally hits like a wet noodle without Faruzan, so yeah. Definitely mid at least, not bottom tier like video uploader said. Like dude, name me one other character in the entire game who can shred anemo resistances right off the bat, with no constellations (and she's even a 4 star). The only other one is Zhongli, and he's a 5 star.
She also works with Heizou too, hell even Sucrose becomes a dps with Faruzan if you crown Sucrose's normal attacks and give her any dps catalysts.
Ig I'll speak for wanderer :'), I am a wanderer main and I love using him! He is very fun for overworld and I think he is the main character you'll need for your exploration team! He isn't bad without c6 faruzan or faruzan in general! I use him with C1 faruzan and I use mappa mare with goofy aah artifacts and he hits pretty well in my opinion! I have never used Xiao like you have never used wanderer but wanderer kinda needs faruzan for him to be noticed :') so I think Xiao is a better unit for abyss, idk lol. I said a bit of useless information but I hope it makes a lil sense
I should add her to my anemo team, thanks for the advice!
Man I’m feelin that disclaimer. Dori C1, Layla C2, and Nahida from this banner.

I love her in overworld, and that's so much of the content
My forever level 40 Sayu will always be my choice for exploring 😂 balls go zoooooom!
I think layla should be on S, her shield is really strong and has zero downtime. She has extremely good cryo application imo
I'm a collei main and to be honest, when you build her dps with the right artifacts and weapons, she can do 20k to 30k charged attacks / 50k to 60k charged attacks with buffs. I really enjoy her gameplay and I love being in co op seeing people be shocked at my dps collei lol.
I want to be a collei main too! Do you have any tips? Or things that worked for you to suggest? I would appreciate any insights 🙏🏼
Ningguang is the best 4 star character in my opinion, she CARRIES me. she's the strongest character I have and I barely have to invest any time into building her. super satisfying attacks and super easily to use, I highly recommend.
Her quick fire bursting is no joke. People really don't play the game qnd are afraid of upsetting the twitter community lol
I love her homing jades from her burst, I am lazy and they do the work for me
I would assume your opinion is heavily influenced by *your* gameplay, but this list is all about genshin characters as a whole. She's good, but not that great. And if she's the strongest, I would assume you have none of the best 5 star dps out there lol

@@v3ngence138 ofc she’s not a generally amazing 4* like Bennett, xiangling or xinqui, but for anemo dps support, she’s pretty good
My C6 Yaoyao is one of my proudest max cons. She has been a staple in my team comps for the healing and the dendro application. When I first started playing Genshin and did not have any team comps, she kept my Xiao alive while also working well with Mona and Bennett. (My Xiao was a glass cannon in the beginning rng hates me)
For heizou,you should put him as SS rank because he basically carried all of my team when I do abyss or. Commission or a quest
He's alright in the spot he is. He's not better than other anemo supports, nor other anemo dps. Other than VV shred, he doesn't bring much to the table.
there is a main difference between kaeya and rosaria that you didn't mention which i think really changes the ranking: the ascension talents. rosarias first ascension talent gives her up to 15% crit rate boost after teleporting behind an enemy and striking them with her skill. her second talent gives the on field character (that isnt rosaria) an up to 15% crit rate boost once her burst is deployed. kaeyas first acension talent regenerates hp up to 15% of his attack when an opponent is hit with his burst and his second talent generates 2 additional elemental particles when an opponent is frozen with his burst. imo, i think the pretty huge crit rate boost rosaria gives to the team gives her an edge up over kaeya since it allows her to not just be a better cryo support but also a more viable option of a main dps. just my opinion ^_^
Kaeya's whole kit just leans more to the main dps role. It's why I favor mommy Rosaria more, she just provides so much to my team, especially now that I have her at C4
@@hoshistrider5076 precisely! i think more people should play w her imo.. just wish i could have her c4 like you!
He gets hp back when he hits an opponent with his skill, not burst. And that thing stacks, so if you line it up to hit 4 enemies or more, he can pretty much heal himself.
But yes, Rosaria should be a high A tier and Kaeya low A tier simply because of that crit rate boost rosaria gives.
I got Yaoyao in her first banner pretty early on my game (i started genshin on December) and i completely love her, she's a great healer her dendro application can be very broked and she's really easy to build, don't sleep on her
she's absolutely 10/10 for me, I didn't warm up to her initially but I kept finding her on half the teams I built lol
As someone who is currently a Rosaria main (Waiting until Venti's banner to reappear to wish for him), I like that Rosaria got A tier. Also, for those that want to make Rosaria better, here's a tip: Turn her into a Tank. What I mean by this give her jacked attack, jacked hp, and the highest defence that you can, and try to keep those 3 things in balance. If you do it right like I did, you should get a version of Rosaria that could hold her own against a Final Fantasy XIV Tank character of the same level.
Not gonna lie, I got Sayu pretty early as a F2P and I used her as my DPS for a long time. Now I use her for healing because I still really love her but I’m glad to see the appreciation
As an f2p hyperbloom player i adore Barbaras skill because it can apply hydro off feild if you get close enough
Alina editing getting better and better, love to see the continued improvement. Got some legit funny edits here
Recently got Bennett to C5 and decided to build him and MAN he gets the job done as a buffer AND a healer. Now I see myself putting him in almost all of my team comps especially my Vap comps
For me Collei is great on an aggravate team because she's currently the only (I think?) character that applies dendro around the active character (requires C2). She's just really comfy to play with Cyno. And since I have her built already, I use her with my Tighnari from time to time as well.
I just remembered Baizhu exists, but he's less accessible.
i use layla for my ganyu cause i don't have zonghli, but dear lord im so thankful for her, she keeps my ganyu alive and once her shield duration is gone, OO LOOK AT THAT, HER SKILL IS READY AGAIN, also her burst applies cryo and with xiangling's burst, it really help with melting lots of enemies, that too i have her at lvl 60 and she survives big enemy attacks that are lv 90+
if you want strong shield but too broke for zonghli, do use her :'D
Thank you for saying that you have to learn and master Ningguang to use her, as Ningguang main I feel appreciated 💛 and it's true what u said, my team is tailored for her and with geo being geo I can't use her that often in abbys
Personally of the four stars in the SS tier, I would rank them like this: c6 Xingqiu > c1 Bennett > c6 Sucrose > c2 Kuki > c6 Xiangling > c6 Fischl. Bennett has been phasing out of the meta the slightest bit, believe it or not, with all the new HP/EM scalers and dendro teams that don't want his pyro application. Meanwhile Xingqiu got buffed by dendro. His usage only looks lower because people rather use the waifu version of him.
And that's the thing about Xingqiu. You can replace him (not that that makes him less). Bennett on the other hand still doesn't have a 5-star version so he's irreplaceable still on the meta.
(Just making a point. Not really discrediting XQ.)
xiangling too low imo. id have her just behind bennett. no argument with your order otherwise
i love your tier-list viceos, please make them on a regular basis so that i don't go insane wondering about who to pull for. thank you!
My main gripe with this was Xinyan over Heizou...
He can use VV and be a good driver plus his burst his grouping.
@@Forakusbut that's the purpose of this tier list. To judge a character base on their abilities without comparing to any other character. So as an anemo VV driver, Heizou is great. I'll put him in A tier, and his personal dmg is nothing to be laughed at, easily do 50k punch E with decent build. In single target scenerio, he might be on par with Sucrose also
Xinyan's shield is just garbage and that's supposed to be half her appeal, for me she's below F tier. Heizou is actually fun to play and as you said, VV holder and can do quite nice damage even without his burst
I laugh at those who don't build Layla now. Schneznaya is coming soon, which means more cryo enemies, which means Layla would soon be the new best shielder in the game. She is already more flexible than zhongli for team comps. She hard carries my team in abyss
I love herrrr
Really solid and valuable tier list, definitely felt like it was fair to all the characters' capabilities as a unit. My only quibble was calling Thoma "the weeb abroad" -- his father is an Inazuman so he's half Japanese, basically XD
This is somewhat off topic but, half japanese, funny enough, is not considered japanese in Japan lol
Which can get pretty rough growing up(speaking based on a friend of mine)
based editing from Alina! the vr and rosaria moments get me every time XD i really love layla's shield and she's just so cute! i hope i get her C6 one day. thanks for the fire vid, very helpful!
That Yun Jin and Layla physically hurt me. How do you put her and Mika on a diff level if Yun Jin is C6. THEY ARE USED IN SIMILAR COMPS, AND TYPICALLY MIKA IS CUT OUT! Also, lower Collei. She is so blatantly outclassed (BY OTHER 4 STARS) and just sucks overall.
Otherwise, pretty solid list.
Funny no one mention that Rosaria is a support while Kaeya is often used as a DPS. I see so much Kaeya Mains...
And he does a great job. My Kaeya is C5 (cant wait until june...)10, 13,13. Crit rate 50 % but Blizzard Strayer 15% + his first constellation 15% + when used his skill ( or you run him with any other cryo) and opponents are on cryo another 15%. Crit Dmg 197%. He is almost perfekt. At C6 he is a absolut beast .My main Team with Ayaka, Raiden and Xingxiu. Depend on situation replace the hydro or cryo spot with Ayato or Senhe. And sorry to say it, my Rosaria is build very well, her Talents maxed, but she dosen´t reach his damage not even on C6. Often her burst annoys me because enemys step out of it many times. I can do Kaeyas burst the second it runs out again and it stands by me. Also his ATK is higher than of few 5 Stars and also higher than of some Claymore users (c6). Mine hits with NA around 2800, with CA around 3700 - 4500, also he heals himself on every opponent he hits with frostgnaw by 300. Altough this not sound much but he heals on every opponent he hits. Have to mention again that I miss his C6 and don´t finished building him yet. And also the fact, that he often is the last men standing. He is really amazing. Not regret him 1 Sec!
Btw, often Benny C6 is unlocked to run Melt Kaeya. Will never do but a lot of players choose to do so.
Kaeya dps? He's a sub dps, just like Rosaria. Both can reverse melt/apply cryo so pyro main dps can consistently melt.
I wish we had the option to turn C6 benny on and off rip
I accidentally got Kuki C5 while trying to get a single copy of Nilou. I got annoyed at it until I looked at what she did and realized I got insanely lucky with how many I got of her LOL
As someone who just started playing genshin couple days, this vid is very helpful to me to focus on which 4 star characters i should build. I got xingqiu and sucrose from the 1st 10 pull and had no idea how to use them, so here i am 😊 thanks a lot
Focus on 5 stars first
Like kazuha, raiden, yelan, zhongli
If they just started the game a few days ago they probably don't have those five stars lol Hey, investing in four stars like Bennett, Sucrose, Xingqiu, Fishl and Xiangling (even without constellations) is a good idea because they are flexible and you can put them in any team in future. But playing with whoever you want and having fun It's the best advice I can give you 😊
Maybe its because im a Heizou stan but when he put him low because of comparisons to Xaio and Wanderer when he put Razor Collei and Lisa above him despite them being clearly outclassed by 5 Stars of their respective elements-
13:00 Actually...
-Diona doesn't do damage cuz she wasn't made for that... (have you ever thought of that? Incredible right???)
-She might not be the best battery (in theory), but she sheilds, heals, gives speed boost, and EM at c6. ARE YOU NOT SATISFIED?
-Her heals are amizing btw, she always saves me when I most need it.
-Lastly, her shield is actually really good and if you wanna compare, It's just slighly worse than Layla's!
*Conclusion: The best thing in her is the amount of things she can do, even if she's not 'ThE bEsT' in every singe category, Especially considering she's A FRAKING FOUR STAR-*
Oh yeah also pls stop saying Bennett is a great HEALER and here's why:
-he only heals with his burst, wich has a really small AoE
-he only heals until 70%
So yeah hes an amazing character but pls, not as a healer
are u high brother?
I agree with most of the placements, but I highly disagree with Yunjin. She's niche, yes, but that shouldn't be much of a problem since Faruzan and Gorou are literally placed on Amazing tier when they only have 1-2 teams they're good with. She's actually useful to more teams than those two. At C2, she's already on par with Bennett for Yoimiya teams. Most Eula teams have the 4th slot flexible which you can run Yunjin with since her NAs are 50% of her damage. Not only that, we also have other NA DPSes like Ayato. She should at least be Solid tier.
EDIT: Also, Sara should definitely be the highest among Faruzan and Gorou. She has a more generalist buff that more characters can benefit from since there are more DPS and sub DPS characters from electro (Yae, Beidou, Fischl, Raiden, Lisa, etc.). Also, at C6, she provides full buff with her skill and burst so easily while also dealing personal damage.
Heck Gorou only buffs Itto and Noelle that well. Even Ningguang (who is literally from the same element as Gorou) doesn't even benefit that much. You might as well use Bennett instead. And for Faruzan, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know, you only get her full buff from her burst, while Sara provides the same buff with her burst and skill so she's not burst dependent as Faruzan.
Thing about Gorou and Faruzan is that they borderline irreplaceable as supports for their designated carries.
Sara’s issue is that Fischl exist and in most cases would perform about as good as Sara, but you don’t have to deal with all the clunk in Sara’s kit.
Yunjin is also extremely replacable, but on top of that, unlike most buffers where you don’t really care about their stats besides ER, you do care about Yunjin’s stats - you have to build BOTH good amount of defence and ER, ideally with crit on top of that to proc favonius. And THEN her buff is ST. In most cases running her just not worth it
@@anyanP But C6 Sara is legitimately BiS for a hypercarry raiden. Fischl isn't even part of Raiden's top teams...
Candance applies a lot of hydro so is good in hyperbloom, below xingqiu and yelan but still viable. Hydro infused weapons are different sources so they have separate icds, the hydro during swaps and hydro attacks with c6 can allow a lot of hydro application. Team comps like nahida candance kuki xingqiu. Should be in A tier
She could be really good but there isn’t a good sensor unit she can infuse so she is in this pit of being potentially really good but there just isn’t a unit in the game who would benefit from her in a bloom team
I didn't understand Candace until like, yesterday. I somehow missed that she gives hydro infusion to normal attacks and thought her damage and use was just the hydro AoE when swapping characters so I benched her a year ago and didn't look back lol. Working on figuring out a good team for her now!
Faruzan C6 basically makes her into a Anemo Bennett but she is still good at C0.Yes you might need around 275 ER with R5 Fav Bow but if you can play her she will boost your damage by a good margin.
The only character that can replace her in the comp is probably Jean if you have her C2/C4.
damn the first genshin tierlist I basically have no problems with
6:12 And just like this, you've lost me. Pirate Queen Beidou is SSS tier and nothing will say otherwise.
Xiangling bennet and xingqui need their own tier
My approach to pulling for 4-stars is, I decide on how many pulls I'm going to invest in advance and then accept the result. If you can't have a guarantee, you need to be fine with not getting your 4-star.
although i wouldn't put sara higher than she is, i wanted to add that if you like her and have her at c6, you can build her for damage she also does very respectable burst dmg. I use her in hyper raiden teams and she's an extra 100k nuke, sometimes i can even use her to clear out mobs or weaker enemies to save raiden burst.
I was able to get 100k with her at C0. Guess I had really great artifacts on her or something.
It's crazy how 3 days into the game I already have all the national team members. It's a good time to start genshin because you can buy bennet rn
Honestly, people throw c6 Bennett way out of proportion. Sure he messes up some teams, but the thing is, in all of the teams he messes up, which is a very limited amount, there are better options for that team’s win condition.
Brother I've seen heizou doing 2 milion damage with right combination on engineering plastics youtube channel. Heizou is truly anemo dps. Definitely solid B and above with right selection. Even c0 heizou can do 80k damage without elemental reaction I've seen that in game.
This is true! Even at C0 I could hit 250k (with buffs ofc)
I think your tier list is great and I like the fact that you took your time to explain why you were putting each character in each category, and I agree with most of them. However, I think you positioned Layla a bit too low.
One of her upsides, compared to Diona, is that she can run the 4pc ToM set and benefits of its 2 buffs (shield strength and atk buff). At C1, she also gives a very good long lasting shield to all party members which only C2 Zhongli does, and the majority of the playerbase don't have him at that constellation. Diona can also gives shields to teammates bit they last only 5 seconds and aren't that strong. I don't have her C4 so I'm not sure if it's that effective but it also gives a normal and charge attack bonus based on her max HP. Anyway, I think that she is a great substitute for Zhongli who also buffs character damage through different ways (artifact set and constellation)
I have both Mika and Faruzan C0 and they work perfectly fine in the early game, and Faruzan is definitely worth it as she’s my only other bow character apart from Amber and I get much more use from her for exploration than I do Amber :))
my tip for people that's trying to compile 4 star cons in limited banner is ATLEAST 2/3 of the 4 star you want cons are there and in the 5 star banner that you like more or a character that would help your account when you don't have the guarantee, if you want to be decently safe maybe pull up 70 pity then stop there so you can get a chance to pull another 10 or single pulls to a 5 star banner that you like more than the banner you're pulling the 4 star
Yeah yeah No. I pulled for c1 Layla and got Diluc on 28. Still no c1 Layla. Then i got Nahida on 11. So only pull for 4* preparing that you also get a 5*.
IMO they need to add a Lantern-rite like invitation event for each region.
1 guaranteed 4* character from each region per year isn't going to break the game (and hell might encourage them to actually wish more to try and fill out Cons of a 4* they like), and would help people be a lot less frustrated if they really want a character that isn't on the glitter-shop.
As a new player tier lists are usually a thing I avoid but this is actually a pretty good basic breakdown on how the 4 stars work at C0 vs with constellations.
Actually heizou can do a lot of DMG and I think he deserves B or A
I pulled for a single shinobu con and got a sac sword, stringless, and c4 kirara
Your editor's face when you said you wanted to sleep with Rosaria was PRICELESS.
*his girlfriend too lol
LAYLA IS HIGH SOLID BRUVVV.
She shields
She applies cryo with her burst just like kaeya.
Layla is great. One of the most consistent shields in the game and the CD is not so bad. I have her on C2 and I have never replaced her on my main team.
I really think Mika was a little underrated, because beside his buffs for Physical he also has a Atk speed buff, which is greater then any other (whicher are exclusive to Constellations of other Characters or Weapons, like: C2 Jean, C4 Ayato and C6 Yunjin), another thing is that he actually has a pretty consistent heal at C1 and he peaks at efficiency for ASPD characters (Ayato, Wanderer and Yoimiya) at C5, but can be used even at C0.
i was actually praying beidou wouldnt go into mid tier so bad. im a beidou main and her counter-e + the c1 burst shield is EVERYTHING to me, i love her sm
fair placement, top of A tier, bc sometimes there is only one enemy and/or he attacks too infrequently to counter
edit: prolly an unpopular opinion but i prefer beidou (c6) to fischl (c4)
@@davidng8870 completely agree with this. i run her on a hyperbloom/freeze team for the time being and her e cd is a bit too long for me. c6 beidou > c4 fischl anyday
C0 mika is useful for wanderer, massive heal, attk speed, and wanderer swirling his cryo gives a lot of crit for wanderer
ooooh good to know
The tier list is good but i can't agree with heizou being this low he literally nukes to the point that his damage is more than some 5 stars
I absolutely commend you for tripple crowning Yun Jin. She's gorgeous, talented, and such a fair little lady. I wish I had to materials to tripple crown her myself because I also love her just that much but my three crowns are going to my Hu Tao because I love her about just as much and she's just way more powerful and so stupidly good as a DPS.
I'm a new player (AR32) and every one I've received is from your mid tier or lower, Kuki being the only exception. If I hadn't gotten her I prolly woulda just gave up bc my luck is terrible 😢😅
Once you reach ar50 you'll have more characters double of the amount you have right now. Just trust me ~ I had only Hu Tao in AR48 now I'm ar 60 and I can easily say just be patient.
I started a new account to build my characters properly... The first and second accounts were not so good. Maybe I'll get back to them one day. These tutorials help me a lot to understand this game. Thanks a lot.
C6 Bennett is great because Eula pryo is better than Eula physical :)) My Eula melt team deal 33-40k per hit while physical is 20k per hit. As someone who like to play normal attack Eula because of the aesthetic it's a good thing.
Got Kuki c2 on Nahida’s banner and at level 40 she was still carrying my hyperbloom team
I really hope miyoho add a new 4☆ solid normal attack buffer in the future, it will help a lot of very strong DPS's like Yoimi, Haitham, Wrio and Ayato!
bro tried being sneaky with childe lol
Played for 3 years and still using international for my teams in spiral abyss. razor, diluc, ganyu melt, ayaka freeze, hu tao/sucrose overvape/taser have all constantly been replaced until the hyperbloom team of nahida yelan xingqiu kuki which has only similar clear time with the international team. Xiangling is op, I recently found out royal spear r5 is really good on her as she can snapshot 5% crit rate on guoba plus one normal attack to get 5 stacks to snapshot 85% crit rate on her pyronado.
Kuki c0 can reach SS tier if use thundering fury set to lower the cooldown of her skill. Even after getting c2, the set is comfy to use.
I love my xingqiu and c6 kuki shinobu. Can wait for xingqiu to be back in the start glitter so I can start getting constellations. Xingqiu is the perfect sub dps to enable my Keqing to electro charge everything to death.
I have most of ss 4 star charas except kuki, I want her badly
Xinqiu is so good on SO many of my teams with Yelan, Ayaka, Nahida, Raiden, Kuki...everyone, that I forget that my Xinqiu is only half built
I agree with almost all of these except for Layla and Gorou. Layla although she isnt the best shield the stars hit enemy’s giving cryo damage which is good for a lot of teams, he burst also had huge range and can hit more than one enemy giving even more cryo. And although Gorou is good he’s only good on 1-3 teams making him useless unless u have those teams, and even though u could find a use on other teams there still would be wayyy better choices to switch him out with. so I think they should switch.
It's surprising how all the SS characters are old characters except kuki , all of them existed from the beginning of the game 😂
not surprising at all, they fucked up
I honestly thought not having C6 Faruzan meant she was trash too, but I then decided to use my C1 level 50 Faruzan to see if this was true and my Heizou went from hitting well under 200k to hitting almost 200! Now with a slightly more leveled Faruzan, he’s managed to hit 250k :D
Dps wise, Heizou is probably one of the best dps 4 stars, but I agree that if you don’t main him then he’s not worth it.
Honkai star rail gives you your choice of a free 5 star character from the regular banner (so likenthe characters you get in genshins reg banner or when u lose a 50/50.. diluc, Jean, qiqi etc.) When you get to 300 pulls , the game also has various points , (not a whole bunch but at least 3 to 4 in the first like 3 weeks) gives you a 10 pack of star rail passes , iblve meber seen genshin give out more then like 2 wishes at a time I feel like lol
Kuki main here but will use Lisa when fighting flying/floating mobs, like Eye of the Storm or when the Oceanid uses those diving hawks.
bro forgot that sara is hot. More than enough reason to build
I run 2 piece pale flame 2 piece gilded on my c1 Rosaria with crescent pike lol I love her physical
Your channel has been so helpful to me. Im just started playing like two days ago, and i think i already have a pretty good insight into the game just because i watched some of your vids. Ofc i have a lot to learn, but i already know where to look for info.
As a constructive tip, when doing this tier lists maybe it wouldbe better to put your cam window in the lower right corner of the screen, so we can see better the characters in the upper tiers. Just a tip. Great video dude tysm 😊
