Genshin Impact: Charakter-Tier-Liste

The current meta continues to be shaped by powerful elemental reaction synergies, with Hydro, Pyro, and Anemo interactions dominating optimal team compositions. Spiral Abyss rotations heavily reward characters with strong burst windows, consistent elemental application, and flexible utility across hypercarry and reaction-based strategies.

Characters such as Furina, Mavuika, Kazuha, Neuvillette, and Xilonen lead standout usage rates thanks to exceptional damage output and universal team compatibility. Newer additions like Skirk, Columbina, Vesna, and Vodyanitsa have further enriched the S tier, reinforcing a meta that rewards versatile picks with high damage ceilings and reliable elemental synergies.

Furina and Neuvillette form a dominant Hydro core with unmatched sustained damage and elemental application, while Kazuha remains the definitive Anemo support with unparalleled grouping and amplification. Mavuika and Xilonen push Pyro and universal utility compositions to new heights, slotting seamlessly into virtually any team structure. Zhongli provides irreplaceable shielding and resistance shred, Nahida anchors Dendro reaction teams with exceptional off-field application, and Yelan delivers consistent Hydro damage as a premier sub-DPS.

Skirk, Columbina, Vesna, and Vodyanitsa round out this elite tier alongside Bennett and Baizhu, each delivering meta-defining damage output or indispensable healing and buffing utility that forms the backbone of current optimal team compositions across all Abyss configurations.

The A tier houses a deep roster of highly capable characters that excel in specialized roles or within specific team archetypes. Fischl, Xingqiu, and Xiangling remain enduring off-field powerhouses, while Yae Miko and Albedo provide strong sustained damage with minimal field time. Wanderer, Ayaka, and Navia serve as reliable on-field carries, and Venti offers exceptional crowd control in eligible content.

Newer arrivals Ineffa, Lauma, Sandrone, Varesa, Citlali, Mualani, and Chevreuse further bolster this tier, with Xianyun elevating plunge-based compositions. Together these characters cover virtually every elemental niche and remain strong picks across most Abyss rotations.

B tier characters remain viable and can perform well in tailored team compositions, though they generally require more investment or face tougher competition for roster slots. Shenhe supercharges Cryo carries like Ayaka, while Kokomi and Sigewinne provide dependable healing and Hydro application. Eula and Wriothesley function as solid Physical and Cryo on-field carries respectively, and Lyney excels in mono-Pyro setups.

Nilou, Tighnari, Cyno, and Sucrose each anchor specific reaction teams effectively, while Chasca, Zibai, and the Kamisato siblings—Ayaka and Ayato—round out a tier that rewards dedicated team-building and solid fundamentals.

C tier characters are largely outclassed by higher-tier alternatives in the current meta, though they can still clear content with sufficient investment or in niche scenarios. Beidou and Keqing struggle to keep pace with stronger Electro options, while Diluc and Klee find Pyro competition fierce. Childe retains some Hydro carry utility but faces stiff rivalry, and Noelle and Itto offer Geo carry potential that rarely matches top-tier output.

Lohen, Prune, and Qiqi round out this tier, with Qiqi's healing-only kit providing little offensive contribution in a meta that demands dual-purpose supports.

Amber, Aloy, and Lisa occupy the bottom tier, each struggling to offer meaningful contributions in modern team compositions. Amber and Lisa have been power-crept extensively since launch, and Aloy's limited kit and inability to receive constellation upgrades leave her far behind comparable characters in both damage and utility.
