Looking for the best genshin characters to add to your team? Look no further as this Genshin Impact Tier list is all you’ll ever need.

As HoYoverse introduces new regions and content in Genshin Impact, new characters also arrive. Each of these characters has their own strengths, and they certainly have their reasons for you to include them in your team. Whether it’s their aesthetics, animations, or game-breaking abilities, these characters can tempt you to spend your primogems on them.

However, with the regular release of characters in Genshin Impact, it may not be optimal to spend all your Intertwined Fates on every character. This is especially true if you’re a free-to-play (F2P) player; you should only select characters you plan to use.

Now, if you’re on the search for new characters to add in your team, or just curious which characters are currently dominating in the meta, we’ve got you covered. 

Here’s a reliable Genshin Impact Tier List ranking every character from SS to C, depending on their strength and overall viability.

Best Genshin Impact Characters for Patch 4.1

In this Genshin Impact character tier list, you will find several characters who stand out than the rest. Whether it’s their ability to delete opponents instantly, enhance survivability or their top-tier utility, these characters excel in various ways.

Kazuha

If you’re looking for a versatile character that can further boost your damage and provide reliable crowd control to easily group enemies, this Genshin Tier List will recommend Kazuha. This Anemo character is one of the greatest supports to have and can be deployed in various elemental team compositions, such as an Ayaka freeze team or a Childe international team.

Alhaitham

Alhaitham is an on-field DPS and arguably one of the best main DPS characters in Genshin Impact at C0. The Dendro sword user excels in both Spread and Hyperbloom teams, and can deal a significant amount of damage even with low investment.

Raiden Shogun

Raiden is among the best characters in Genshin Impact, as she has plenty of things to offer to the table. She’s a great battery for characters requiring energy, and a sub DPS to plenty of teams. In terms of damage, Raiden is also a great main DPS especially at C2, Steelbreaker.

Hutao

Since her release, Hu Tao has consistently ranked as one of the best damage dealers in the game. Initially, she might be a bit challenging to play because, in order to maintain continuous and decent damage, players must consistently keep her HP at below 50%, which can be pretty risky. However, pulling for the Pyro Polearm nuker is absolutely worth it. Her kit allows her to deliver an astonishing amount of damage even at C0, particularly when she’s part of a vaporize team alongside Xingqiu and/or Yelan. Much like Neuvillette, she is a self-sufficient DPS that can heal herself when she casts her ultimate.

Zhongli

The Geo Archon has been always at the top for years already and considered as one of the best supports in Genshin Impact. What makes him an S Tier character in this Genshin Impact tier list is because of his shield ability that is undeniably the best one so far. It is so thick that it can block strong attacks that other shielders like Diona and Noelle cannot withstand. 

Genshin Impact Tier List Criteria

Here are the following criteria for each tier:

SS: The Strongest! SS-tier characters currently dominate the game. Having them in your team increases your chance of defeating opponents way faster and easier.

S: Viable characters. S-tier characters are strong, but not as broken as the ones as SS-tier. These characters can perform better especially when paired with characters that synergize with their kit. 

A: Good characters. Characters at A-tier are average characters which may require higher investments such as 5 star weapons, and great characters to be effective. 

B: Out of meta characters. These characters are less effective, and usually not great on their own. 

C:  Less effective characters. Completing in-game content using these characters can be a lot challenging compared to other characters. Replace these characters as soon as you get better characters in the higher tiers. 

That concludes Game Master HQ’s Genshin Impact Tier List. Tier lists serve as a guide, showcasing characters that are dominating and those that are less effective. Picking characters at the top of this tier list can make the completion of each battle and stages easier. However, do not let this tier list stop you from getting the characters you’ve always wanted. After all, everything will all boil down to preference and enjoying the game should be a priority.
