About the Tier List
This page ranks Genshin Impact characters from S to D, giving you a general idea of their strength and value for end-game content.
Here’s what the tiers generally mean:
- S Tier: Top-tier characters. Extremely strong in most scenarios, highly recommended for end-game content.
- A Tier: Strong characters. Very good choices who perform well in many teams and situations.
- B Tier: Average characters. Solid picks, useful in the right team compositions or with specific builds.
- C Tier: Below-average characters. Can work in niche situations but usually outshined by higher tiers.
- D Tier: Low-tier characters. Limited effectiveness for most end-game content, though they can still be fun or useful in certain setups.
Remember, a higher tier doesn’t automatically mean one character is “better” than another. It’s about general usefulness. Everyone might have slightly different opinions, and that’s completely fine.
You can also use the filters above to narrow down the list by rarity, element, weapon, region, or role. If you want to dive deeper, click on any character card to access their full guide, including recommended builds, weapons, artifacts, team comps, and ascension materials.
