Our Genshin Impact Tier List has been freshly updated for Version 5.8, available from July 30! This update brings exciting changes to the rankings, including the introduction of a new character, Ineffa, that might just disrupt the current meta.

This tier list is designed to reflect various game aspects, covering high-level content like Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater. If you're searching for the best Main DPS, Sub-DPS, or Support character, our tier list serves as your guide to build the strongest team.

Understanding the Tier List

• Characters are categorized from S+ (top-tier) to D (least viable).
• Each character's rank is determined by their performance in late-game scenarios, which takes into account their damage output, ease of use, team synergy, and elemental utility.
• Many characters can fit into multiple roles thanks to their versatility.

What's New in Version 5.8

While Ineffa's full potential is projected to be unlocked in Version 6.0, early tests indicate she offers impressive flexibility and viability. With great expectations, her performance in existing team compositions earns her a commendable spot in the tier list.

HoYoverse seems to be gearing up for even more exciting characters, including Nod-Krai, through the introduction of Ineffa. However, the influx of new systems and characters has started to see some older characters fall in efficacy.

• Xingqiu has experienced a slight drop in effectiveness. Yelan now outperforms him in many lineups while providing similar utility.
• Zhongli remains a reliable choice for survivability. Yet, newer supports who blend sustain with offensive abilities are slowly edging him out.

Playing Regardless of Tier

While tier lists are useful for understanding the top-tier meta, it is important to remember that you do not need an S+ character to enjoy Genshin Impact. With enough investment, any character can complete content, so focus on the heroes you love and have fun!
