THE BEST FOUR STARS IN GENSHIN! ★Updated Genshin Impact 4 Star Tier List★

► The best four stars in Genshin worth your primogems! A complete tier list based on the competitive strength a character has in the current genshin meta compared to all other 4 stars, and even 5 stars! I'll be explaining in detail the pros and cons of every single 4 star character in the game from S+ tier, the game changers, all the way down to F the bruh tier. As someone who 36 stars the abyss every single cycle using only 4 star characters holding 4 star weapons, I am very well versed in the four star meta. AS always, pull for WHO YOU WANT. Playing meta is not necessary by any means in Genshin, you can clap the abyss with your favorites easily :) So sit back, relax and learn a lil something with ya boy.

This list was made in 4.3 (before Chevreuse's release), 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 challenge 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! Thanks for clicking on my channel and watching the video, we're almost to 50k subs so sub? :)

Kuki really went from the filler worst 4 star to broken meta monster after sumeru, crazy

[Glis]

Layla isn't a dps she's a support why was she ranked lower for that. It's like if I said Kokomi is bad because Neuvillette out damages her

[Beelzebella]

As a Layla main I am very proud to see all the comments defending her. I use her with every team that needs a shield, and prefer her over Zhongli because she shields in co-op at C-something and applies lots of cryo with both her E and her ult, both of which are up the entire time if you put her on sac sword, not even having to use any ER artifacts on her. She's the goat

[Prince-Angelito]

Layla should have been in A tier at the very least! She has the strongest shield in the game besides Zhongli and 💯 up-time as well! She's also one of the best users of TotM! C'mon man! 😭

[HazZzel-]

I use Layla all the time in my Neuvillette team. She's exceptionally useful

[veeeeee]

No way Layla is Dori tier. One of the reasons why Layla is so good is the 100% uptime on her burst and shield. Plus good cryo application which is good for freeze and melt. Personally, I think Layla is A tier with the massive shield that is almost as big as Zhongli.

[Luffy_SenPai_]

No one's happy with your Layla rating lol

[Baguettish]

honestly, Layla slaps on double-hydro Hu Tao teams. hydro resonance makes her already strong shield even stronger with the HP boost, she can give useful buffs, she can enable occasional melts, and especially with constellations, she can deal pretty decent damage herself! and with Fontaine finally bringing us some HP swords that aren't Nilou's signature or Jade Cutter, she's honestly even stronger than she was on release imo.

[MellowGirl]

If you have c2 Layla you dont need to worry about ER at all. Even with a full hp build she does quite a bit of dmg and her shield is almost as good as Zhongli. Burst duration is the same as her shield and if she has a bit of er or c2 her burst is always up when her shield is.

Also yes Freminet doesn’t do huge amounts of damage but he’s so fun to play especially with Rosaria

[castle.clint]

Pretty much on point except for Layla. The girl is the best shielder in the game for non-dendro teams if you have no Zhongli. She also applies lots of cryo if you want that, and works perfectly with TotM. She deserves at least A-tier imo.

[ANUBISseyes]

Layla carried me when I was weak, she deserves a higher spot

[banir]

Dude, you clearly have not use Layla and Candace much. Candace is Pretty solid especially on higher constellations, the amount of energy and hydro application she does is bonkers (reason why a Candace Nilou Bloom is competetive or better than Yelan/XQ Variants). Layla is also the best Sub DPS shielder in the Game especially on high constellations (Yes read her constellations). It is kind of unfair considering you are considering everyones constellations but isnt considering Candace c6 or Layla c6

[āuroseGT]

I agree with a lot on this tierlist, as it's rather in dept! However.. I do want to point out Layla, who is actually fricking incredible. Completely off-field. Massive shield and uptime. Always has ult available. Great Cryo applicator. She deserves S tier in my opinion.

And also shoutout to Candace. Rather underrated I think.

[abhimanueanirudh]

I use my layla on hu tao team. She is the only reason my hu tao never dies

[traninhminh-eric]

I love how the comments are defending layla, she’s my best shielder at the time when I still haven’t got my hand on Zhongli and I must say that her shield is definitely enough if you don’t just stand still and do nothing. She can always proc tenacity which is another huge upside, Zhongli can too, but I find his pillars unreliable, sometimes enemies move, sometimes the pillars get destroyed. Plus being cryo means that she can run with another cryo and in a freeze team, you would also get 15% more crit rate. Her shield performs the best at c3 and can somewhat buff (although not much) at C4 but the thing is, she works completely fine at C0, she definitely deserves a solid A tier at least imo.

[bangletassel]

Even with HP/Cryo/Crit, Layla's damage is similar to Kaeya, except you also get a shield that's STILL BETTER THAN DIONA'S!

[liyan]

Layla should definitely be A or S tier. If you don't have Zhongli, she is an amazing choice for a shield. With her 100% up time (with enough HP), low burst cost, and easy to farm artifacts (literally only need HP and a little ER), she is an amazing character to build if you don't have any other shield. I honestly don't know if my sister would still be playing if she didn't have Layla since she is terrible at dodging.
[Edit because I think is important] Layla doesn't need constellations to be at her best which I think is also a point in her favor. Her C2 is good, but she is still a very good character at C0.

[OsmanthusVineSeller]

Layla in hutao teams is far better than any other shield except zhongli.. even if she dont do much dmg her cryo application is pretty decent for vap+melt in hutao.. and she basically never let her die.. she deserves more!

[papillio]

This is a really good list, the only thing I don't agree with is Layla

[jeffersonsolomon]

Layla carries my Wanderer in abyss. I mean, her shield is good but her cryo application is great. Her rank should've been higher.
