Introduction: Why Tier Lists Still Matter in Genshin Impact
Welcome, Travelers! If you’ve spent any significant time exploring the vast world of Teyvat, you know that Genshin Impact is a game of endless possibilities—and sometimes, overwhelming choices. With dozens of characters, each boasting unique abilities, elemental reactions, and playstyles, figuring out who deserves those precious Primogems and fragile Artifacts can feel like navigating the Spiral Abyss on Floor 12 with only Amber.
That’s where a well-structured Genshin Guide , specifically a comprehensive Genshin Impact Tier List, comes in handy.
Tier lists are the community’s shorthand for evaluating character strength based on current meta, constellation value, weapon viability, and overall utility. While personal preference always plays a role (and yes, your favorite character can absolutely clear the hardest content!), a tier list provides an objective framework to prioritize your limited resources.
This comprehensive Genshin Impact tier list for 2024 aims to cut through the noise, offering clear, current, and actionable advice on who the absolute powerhouses are, who the solid supports are, and who might be better left on the bench until the meta shifts.
Understanding the Tiers: What Does S, A, B, and C Mean?
Before we dive into the rankings, let’s establish a common vocabulary. Most Genshin Impact tier lists use a traditional grading system, but their meaning within the context of Teyvat is crucial:
S-Tier (Supreme/God Tier): These characters are meta-defining. They possess exceptional damage output, unparalleled utility, or are so flexible they fit into almost any top-tier team composition. If you pull them, you’ve won the lottery. They excel in the Spiral Abyss and demanding endgame content.
A-Tier (Excellent): Highly effective, powerful, and often the backbone of many strong teams. They might have slightly more specific requirements than S-Tier units but offer fantastic performance. A solid investment for anyone.
B-Tier (Good/Viable): These characters are perfectly capable of clearing all current content, especially if paired with the right team synergy and invested heavily. They might be slightly outclassed by A or S tiers in raw performance or flexibility.
C-Tier (Situational/Niche): These characters are generally outclassed by others in the same role, require very specific team setups, or rely heavily on high Constellations (C6) to shine. They are still usable but require significant effort to maximize.
D-Tier (Underwhelming): Characters who struggle to keep up in the current meta, often due to outdated kits, low scaling, or being completely overshadowed by newer releases.
Note: This tier list primarily focuses on performance in challenging endgame content like the Spiral Abyss, where optimization matters most. A C-Tier character at C6 with BiS gear can outperform an S-Tier character at C0 with bad gear!
The DPS Tier List: Who Carries the Team?
Damage Per Second (DPS) characters are the primary damage dealers. They live on the field, unleashing elemental bursts and charged attacks.
S-Tier DPS: The Unstoppable Forces
These characters define team power and offer overwhelming damage potential regardless of the enemy type.
1. Neuvillette (Hydro Catalyst): The reigning king of sustained on-field damage. His charged attack mechanic is incredibly powerful, easy to utilize, and scales massively with buffs. He requires minimal setup for colossal damage.
2. Hu Tao (Pyro Polearm): Still a terrifying force, especially in Vaporize teams. Her ability to consistently hit massive single-target damage with her Charged Attacks makes her a Spiral Abyss favorite, though her low HP requirement demands skilled execution.
3. Raiden Shogun (Electro Sword): While often functioning as an excellent battery, her Burst damage (especially at C2+) is phenomenal. Her ability to recharge the team’s energy while dealing top-tier damage makes her an indispensable on-field presence.
4. Alhaitham (Dendro Sword): The premier Dendro on-field driver. His aggressive reliance on Spread and Aggravate reactions results in consistent, high-frequency damage numbers.
A-Tier DPS: Champions of Consistency
These characters are the workhorses of damage dealing, providing immense value across many team types.
1. Ayaka (Cryo Sword): The quintessential Freeze DPS. When enemies are immobilized, her Burst sweeps the field clean. Her damage ceiling is still one of the highest in the game.
2. Lyney (Pyro Bow): A fantastic single-target powerhouse, especially when paired with Mono-Pyro or shielded teammates. His mechanic rewards focused, direct confrontation.
3. Wanderer (Anemo Catalyst): Offers unparalleled exploration utility coupled with solid, easily accessible Anemo damage. His mid-air state allows for unique combat patterns.
4. Tighnari (Dendro Bow): An excellent quick-swap Dendro DPS who excels in Bloom and Spread teams, offering fast field time and significant Burst potential.
B-Tier DPS: Strong Niche Picks
These characters are excellent but require more specific team compositions or investment to match the top tiers.
1. Ganyu (Cryo Bow): Her Charged Shot DPS build has slightly fallen off due to the prevalence of rapid multi-target damage requirements, but her Melt potential remains high.
2. Xiao (Anemo Polearm): Anemo plunges are fun and powerful, but he requires immense energy support and healing overhead, making team building restrictive.
3. Yoimiya (Pyro Bow): Still a fantastic single-target dealer, especially effective against bosses without elemental shields, but struggles slightly against heavy crowd control scenarios where Ayaka excels.
The Support Tier List: Power Beyond Damage Numbers
In Genshin Impact, supports often dictate the strength of the entire team. A great support unit enables S-Tier damage dealers to perform even better.
S-Tier Supports: The Meta Enablers
These units provide unrivaled defensive utility, offensive buffs, or elemental application necessary for top-tier reaction teams.
1. Furina (Hydro Sword): Currently the most impactful support release in years. Her massive team-wide damage bonus (via Fanfare) combined with strong Hydro application makes nearly every team better by simply existing.
2. Kazuha (Anemo Sword): The undisputed king of grouping and Elemental DMG Bonus application. His ability to shred resistance via the Viridescent Venerer set, buff the on-field DPS, and clump enemies is unmatched.
3. Zhongli (Geo Polearm): Unbreakable shields. Period. His shield provides massive interruption resistance and a 20% Universal Resistance Shred, making him the default comfort pick for almost any team.
4. Nahida (Dendro Catalyst): The best Dendro application and off-field damage engine. She enables Hyperbloom, Aggravate, and Burgeon teams by effortlessly applying the necessary status to enemies.
A-Tier Supports: Essential Utility Providers
These characters offer specialized support that is often essential for certain team archetypes.
1. Bennett (Pyro Sword): Even after years, his attack buff and localized healing remain one of the best support tools available, especially when paired with strong Pyro DPS units.
2. Xianyun (Anemo Catalyst): Her plunging attack buffing ability is transformative for characters like Xiao and certain catalyst users, adding a new layer of verticality and speed to combat.
3. Kokomi (Hydro Catalyst): The premier non-Burst Hydro applicator for Freeze and Bloom teams, offering fantastic continuous healing that stabilizes even volatile Hyperbloom setups.
4. Yelan (Hydro Bow): Excellent off-field Hydro damage and a stacking damage bonus that benefits the active character. She is a strong alternative to Xingqiu, particularly for single-target scenarios.
