THE BEST CHARACTERS TO PULL! ★Updated Genshin Impact 5 Star Tier List★

► The best characters in Genshin you should spend your primogems on! A complete tier list based on how much competitive strength a character has in current Genshin meta and when compared to all other characters in the game! Explaining in detail WHY a character is so good or bad, not just ranking them. Every single 5 star character (ok not travelers lmao) will be placed in this tier list from S+ tier (game changers) down to F tier... Please know you can 36 star the abyss, aka complete Genshin's hardest content with ANY character in the game if you give them enough time, effort and love. PULL FOR YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS! But if you are torn, want some advice, or looking to power up your account, you've come to the right place.

This list was made in 4.2, but all information in this list is timeless information that will help you decide who to pull or main 100%! Why should you listen to me? I am a day 1 player, who 36 stars the abyss every single rotation with challenging teams like 4 stars only, only 2 characters etc. for fun. My life revolves around this game, I play it and create vids for it for a living, I know a lot about it trust me :) I wanted to make a video that helps you understand WHY a character is good, not just a placement hence the long video duration but I promise you it's thorough as well as fun!

HOMIES Thanks so much for supporting the content <3 Let's hit that 50ksubs by the end of the year? 🙏 twitch.tv/eakestv

[dr.princess]

Saying Neuvillet isn't game changing is like saying winning 10mil lottery isn't life changing because you didn't get promoted at your local McDonald's.

[LotusYurei]

The fact that Neuvillette can solo later floors in the abyss at C0 is mind boggling to me

[universalgamer]

Furina and Neuvillette being next to each other in the list is lovely

[jollyjello]

Furina's most broken utility is enabling every character in the game to use marinara hunter

[jonyjonas]

I really disagree with you on Baizhu, having to wait for YaoYao's burst to be active for you to get healed is just weird and uncomfortable. Baizhu does it all in his skill and everybody is alive and well with his burst. It so not the same like at all . Seriously.

[SundayMatinee]

I still think Zhong Li is a game changer. He completely changes the way you can play the game. No more dodging. You can completely ignore some game mechanics. For quality of life, he's a must pull.

Same with Kokomi. Her healing is massive and basically on 100% uptime. It's almost impossible to die with her on your team. So for quality of life, she's a must pull.

If you want to enjoy the game more, pull for these two characters.

[ItzAndyArson]

For Ayato I think people underrate him completely. I often hear his name come with the phrase. "Jack of all trades, master of none." Which people tend to use in a negative manner. But what people don't realize is that the full quote is "Jack of all trades, master of none. Though oftentimes, better than master of one." He's so versatile. Has a fun play style. Great burst. All around a very good character for any account imo. He's definitely S.

[flyingcow]

cyno is the perfect example of a character suffering from success. normally you would think a long burst and a lot of damage is a good thing. but for him, he kills the enemies too fast and unless u run through his entire burst cycle, he won't have enough energy to burst again as soon as the cool down is gone. but if u continue his burst cycle you're supports will run out and he'll be dealing just electro dmg and he can't do much electro damage cuz he's supposed to be played with dendro

[LuckyMaggy]

As you've title the tiers, imo, Zhongli definitely deserves a spot in the Game Changers tier. Simply because that's just what he objectively does. He enables players to quite literally ignore an essential mechanic like dodging, and depending on the team he is in, sometimes deletes the need for a healer.

Not to mention that his shield has 100% up time, and as if that wasn't enough, his shield gives a 20% omni shred in a small AOE around the player while it's up...which is all of the time.

His burst, disregarding the DMG it does, is essentially a better freeze in terms of cc since it works on cryo slimes and shielded cryo abyss mages. The only enemies it can't petrify are boss enemies. Tired of running around chasing enemies in the abyss and losing precious time? Press Q with Zhongli, now they can't move, if they're even alive that is.

Anyways, that's my two cents. I definitely believe Zhongli to be a game changer character and definitely should be in S+ tier.

[jasont]

imo for anyone who likes to explore teyvat, wanderer is a must pull

[ayri]

I’ll never regret pulling for zhongli, got him and a lot of other strong characters but using him has saved me SO many times.

[chantararix]

it's crazy how in the start of the game, cryo was once dubbed as the best element and electro was the worst. Dendro came in and it just swapped.

[brianna]

Venti literally carries me most of the time. I'm happy to see someone saying that, while he CAN feel average, in a lot of ways he is AMAZING. 😊

[mattfaucett]

The only reason I don’t think Nilou is S+ is because she needs a very specific team comp. In my opinion, this slot should be reserved for the most powerful AND flexible characters. If you fit one but don’t fit both, drop to S. That said, I’m ABSOLUTELY pulling for her next time she comes up! I have Yelan, Nahida, and Yao Yao already so all I need now is her lol!

[daveys_gaming_corner]

Diluc may not be top tier damage wise but damn he feels so fluid to play

[velvestrade]

Moral of the story: Should've pulled for C2 Baizhu.

[SumsieBun]

I was a new player on Neuvillete’s banner and I listened to the wrong people who told me that Hu Tao was better than him. She feels like hot garbage to play and is my most regretted character I have. Hopefully Neuvi get a really quick rerun

[robm]

I agree with like 99% of this list but I would say Zhongli is S+ for sure for almost any account. Shields are almost never going to stop being useful and he also shreds enemy resistances so your damage dealers can do great damage without having to constantly move or dodge. I think making your team invincible is pretty game changing

[novac]

As someone who started playing genshin almost exactly a year back and got zhongli in 4.0 He is definitely a game changer. In fontaine the enemies hit so hard that honestly if I could have zhongli on both sides then nothing like it. I feel like DPS has become a non issue as of late due to dendro and hyperbloom where you can run zhongli on deepwood and fav. He's a universal resistance shredder and lets you play literally anyne without having to worry about survivability
