One of HoYoverse’s most legendary games is Genshin Impact, a title that keeps on giving in terms of characters. Every few weeks, we get new ones, and while most are looking for the most beautiful ones, others like to think about the game’s meta. There are many powerful party members that anyone would be lucky to have. However, those who don’t want to spend a vast amount of Primogems for some of the best ones will have to make do with what they have. That’s why it is always important to check any tier list for Genshin Impact to prepare your builds to tackle the most difficult challenges.
Genshin Impact Version 4.8 Character Tier List
[Updated July 26, 2024 – Changed images and clarified information]
The game’s meta changes considerably with every new update and character mechanic, making a few parties obsolete and some old ones better. It is vital to remember how well they all perform and what type of team compositions you can make depending on the ones you own. Here, we’ve made a tier list to help you decide which teams to assemble
| Rank | DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS | Neuvillette Arlecchino Hu Tao Alhaitham | Yelan Furina Nahida Raiden | Kokomi Bennett Kazuha Baizhu Zhongli |
| S | Lyney Navia Ayaka | Xingqiu Nilou Xiangling Yae Miko Shinobu | Mona Xianyun Jean Shenhe |
| A | Tartaglia Xiao Clorinde Ayato Tighnari Wanderer Gaming Ganyu | Chiori Venti Fischl Beidou Rosaria | Sucrose Chevreuse Yaoyao |
| B | Yoimiya Itto Wriothesley Cyno Keqing Eula Diluc | Albedo Collei Thoma Lynette Traveler (Dendro) | Sigewinne Diona Faruzan Gorou Yun Jin Charlotte Kirara Layla Sara Mika |
| C | Klee Yanfei Sethos Heizou Kaveh Noelle | KaeyaDehyaLisaChongyunSayuTraveler (Hydro) | Qiqi Barbara Candace |
| D | Freminet Razor Ningguang Dehya Aloy | Xinyan Amber Traveler (Geo) Traveler (Anemo) | Traveler (Electro) Dori |
Remember that even though some of the characters at the bottom of this tier list are bad or labeled “the worst” in Genshin Impact, this is not entirely true. The real challenge is to make compositions that work to complete the Abyss with any team. Use your favorite characters, even if you want to be a main Dehya or a Barbara DPS. Even characters at the lower tier can work very well if combined with other characters. However, it is a fact that having the top characters makes things much easier. So, if you have your eye on any of them, start saving your Primogems because you never know when the next re-run might arrive.
