Ranking All 5 Star Burst Animations (while slowly going mad)

Gonna be ranking all 5 star burst animations, the true ones anyway, that means no traveller since they get no fancy cutscenes. I hope to find inspiration for a new outro among these.
5 star burst animations are often very pretty, and in making this I realized it's easy to miss some subtle details in some of the bursts.

Big thank-you to Stefan D., Madeleine R. and Koomsy on Patreon for supporting me! Y'all da best!

I had to laugh when he commented on Kazuha’s bust being too extra. Everytime I play Co-op with friends and use Kazuha’s burst, I can already hear them screaming “I CAN’T SEE SH*T!” 😂

I feel like barbara's burst animation being cinematic is hoyoverse making up for traveler being the only 5 star without a cinematic burst

I love how kokomi’s robe which she gains when activating her burst is the symbol for resistance it’s such a cool little detail

Burst animations are getting a lot better. Imagine Dainsleif's animations.

Also, when Hu Tao's burst hits enemies, their soul is knocked out of their bodies so cool fun fact

[haleywagner]

I also like all of the archons bursts because the little ombre end of their hair glows when you cast it:)

Jean’s gets bonus points for me because if her burst kills the final enemy in the first half of abyss, the last frame you see is her opening her eyes before it cuts to black.

I LOVE how you did the bursts in the places that fit the characters!

As much as I love Itto (really really much), nothing could top Zhongli's burst. The animation, the voiceline (I will have order), the crossing arms. Man, he's so iconic

Mark Whitten's voice easily carries Kazuha to an S for me, especially
"Clouds hide.. the bird's CALL"

yoimiya did 19k damage to a butterfly 😲

Another cool detail about Diluc’s burst (from a Diluc main): after you reach a certain friendship level with him, he smiles and blinks at you while casting it! <3

You know, I think a 4-star animation that really gets overlooked is Xinyan. Her burst is so cool! Awesome fire effects going everywhere.

[mirufiyu]

Archons deserve the S tier and I'm sure they will improve more for the upcoming Archons.

the awe i get when i saw zhongli's ult from afar during coop, that will always be the most memorable coop moment for me lol

[nixie]

One thing id like to add about ventis burst after maining him for a year is that he quickly twirls his bow before he starts aiming. Its one of my favorite little details about him :)

i’m sending a screenshot of the results to my friend with no context to see what they think of it 💀 i can’t wait. thanks for the vid!!

[SweetBlossoms]

4 star version please, they deserve some recognition.

[ooogo]

i feel like monas burst deserves an S, it was going to be super clunky looking if there was more detail but thats just my opinion

[jeremiahsmith]

Interesting how different the personal opinions and perception of “cool” and “beautiful” can be. For me, Itto’s Q is leaps and bounds ahead of anything we had before, because it looks like a fully separately rendered animation, like a manga panel came to life, or a second from a legit show. And Childe is S tier in my book just because he has TWO animations (and two different utilities for two ults). Everything highly subjective of course, no negativity here. ^^ Also I fully agree on Qiqi’s Q being stunning, those visuals absolutely convey the “frost” effect.
