Even though Genshin Impact makes it possible to complete most challenges without having all the best characters, understanding where a character is placed in relation to others helps you to make important decisions. Below you’ll find our Genshin Impact tier list and who are the best characters for main DPS, healing, and support in the gacha game, as of version 3.3 in January 2023. On this page: Explainers:
Genshin Impact S-tier characters listed
The S-tier characters are the best ones in the game due to their efficiency in terms of damage output and utility for the whole party. From Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Burst to Ganyu’s charged attack, all these characters are best in what they do. In this list, we ranked the characters based on their innate power (stats and skills), utility for party composition, and how much time and resources would be reasonable to spend on them. Genshin Impact’s endgame is all about defeating enemies really fast, so characters with explosive damage or good synergy are the best ones. Following is our tier list of every character in Genshin Impact and, please, remember that this list was made based on our interpretation of the topics we explained, so you may see things differently. Genshin Impact version 3.3 is here, with new codes, and new character Scaramouche (Wanderer), so find out where he’s placed on our tier list. You’ll need Primogems and luck of the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for him and other current and next banners. You’ll also need the right Adventure Rank for events. For more Sumeru help, we’ve got pages on Sumeru Reputation, Tree of Dreams, Dendroculus locations, the Aeonblight Drake boss, the Garden of Endless Pillars Domain, and locations for Nilotpala Lotus, Padisarah, Scarabs, and Redcrest. You can also now unlock the Genius Invokation TCG and, if you want help building your deck, check out our Genius Invokation TCG Card List. If you want to relax, however, why not try fishing at one of the many fishing spot locations? Scaramouche has lived up to the theorycrafting around his builds and becomes a new S-tier character who can, you know, fly, as well as provide incredible DPS normal attacks. Faruzan is an excellent Anemo support for DPS mains such as Scaramouche and Xiao, but is somewhat limited by a lack of variety in Anemo DPS characters, and you have to unlock a lot of Constellations to make her as effective as possible. Kokomi is moved up to reflect the many new team compositions that benefit from a Hydro healer, particularly with so many Dendro teams that need a Hydro healer. An important factor that all of them share is how good they are to trigger or benefit from elemental reactions. Here is the Genshin Impact S tier list in alphabetical order of the best characters as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: These characters have great synergy among them and with S-tier characters, making them great units to have. Their capacity to trigger elemental reactions or benefit from them is amazing. Here is the Genshin Impact A tier list of best characters in alphabetical order as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: While some of them can work as great supports and healers, they will be used as second options for A-tier characters that you don’t have yet or just in very specific scenarios and compositions. Even so, they are still pretty useful and can work well giving support to characters from the higher tiers. Here is the B tier list in alphabetical order of Genshin Impact characters as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: Among them, there are strong characters or a few that are useful in some scenarios. On the other hand, using them instead of any other unit from the higher tiers is unreasonable. There is always the possibility of exploring their strong aspects and creating parties around them. Here is the C tier list in alphabetical order of Genshin Impact characters as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: Of course, they are still viable depending on the party. By working around their problem, you can find a way to use them. Here is the D tier list in alphabetical order of Genshin Impact characters as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: The following list was made based on the characters’ capacity to deal physical or elemental damage and their limitations/weaknesses. Here is the list of best damage dealers in Genshin Impact from highest to lowest as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: To create this list, we based on the character’s capacity of helping without needing to stay in the field for too long, and how useful they are to generate elemental reactions, protections, buffs, crowd control, or elemental particles. Here is the list of best supports in Genshin Impact from highest to lowest as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: The list of best healers was created thinking on healing potential, cost of skills, additional effects, as well as self-sustainability of the character. This last aspect is important to know if the healer is capable of producing element particles in case their Elemental Burst is the healing skill. Here is the list of the best healers in Genshin Impact from highest to lowest as of 1st January 2023 in version 3.3: Now that you know what are the best characters in Genshin Impact, you can begin creating your own team compositions. But keep in mind that the lists presented here are subjective interpretations of the game’s roster.
