Genshin Impact Character Tier List
Updated for Version 6.7 (Luna VIII), this tier list ranks Genshin Impact characters by role — Main DPS, Core Support, and Sub-DPS — and explains how Constellations, team comps, and the current patch affect each character's strength. Includes a draggable character template.
How the Rankings Work
Data current as of 2026-08-06matching Genshin Impact version 6.7 "Luna VIII." The tiers are based on the public tier lists from genshin.gg and Game8.Let's get one thing straight: most of Genshin Impact's content can be cleared solo, and any character can beat the main story once you've invested in them properly.That said, this list is aimed at high-intensity content like the Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater. A character's actual performance still depends on constellations, weapons, and team composition, so the tiers in the table are only a priority reference for pulling and building.
| Source | Snapshot / Version | Basis | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| genshin.gg character tier list | Version 6.7 | Overall S/A/B/C strength | Primary basis for the tiers in this article; constellations not factored in |
| Game8's 6.7 tier list | Updated July 2026 | Characters grouped by main DPS / sub-DPS / support | Cross-Reference: Character Roles |
| In-Game Character Data | Current Version | Multipliers, Talents, and Constellations | The gap between C0 and C6 is significant; in-game client data prevails |
Top-Tier Main DPS
The team's primary damage dealer. At this tier, even C0 units can carry Spiral Abyss damage output, and team-building requirements are relatively straightforward.
| Tier | Character | Element | Traits |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Mavuika | Pyro | Natlan's benchmark main DPS, delivering both damage and mobility |
| S | Skirk | Cryo | New main DPS with high scaling, needs team support to shine |
| A | Arlecchino | Pyro | Strong self-sustain, but her healing reduction means you'll need to watch your heals |
| A | Neuvillette | Hydro | Large-area sustained damage with an easy, simple playstyle |
| A | Kinich / Wriothesley | Dendro / Cryo | Deals high damage once fully built, but is very stat-hungry |
| B | Hu Tao / Mualani | Pyro / Hydro | Burst main DPS with high HP and positioning requirements |
Core supports
Most of Genshin Impact's power budget is tied up in support characters. These picks are universal across teams, so pulling them is basically never a loss—and they're the top priority for new players.
| Tier | Character | Element | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Furina | Hydro | Team-wide damage boost + sustain, extremely broad team compatibility |
| S | Kazuha | Anemo | Crowd control + resistance shred + damage buffs: a jack-of-all-trades support. |
| S | Bennett | Pyro | ATK buff + healing: the core of Pyro teams. |
| S | Xilonen / Citlali | Geo / Cryo | Resistance shred and damage buffs; staples of Natlan teams. |
| A | Zhongli | Geo | Rock-solid shield with maximum breathing room. |
Sub-DPS and Elemental Application
These characters handle off-field damage and set up elemental reactions. Many are veteran units that need little investment and stay broadly useful for a long time.
| Tier | Character | Element | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Yelan / Xingqiu | Hydro | Off-field Hydro damage and application that fits almost any team |
| A | Nahida | Dendro | Dendro cornerstone; groups enemies and applies Dendro |
| B | Xiangling / Fischl | Pyro / Electro | Classic sub-DPS picks that pay off big even at low investment |
| B | Hydro healers other than Furina (Kokomi / Sigewinne) | Hydro | Heals while applying Hydro; can sub in for shield teams |
Version and Investment Notes
A few things to note about this list: first, the game updates quickly, so a character who's new in version 6.7 may shift in the ranks after a patch or two. Second, constellations and signature weapons have a huge impact — a C0 character and a max-constellation one are not the same tier of strength. Third, the list assumes a high-investment team environment, so your actual experience will depend on your lineup. So don't rush to bench your favorite main DPS just because they're not in S tier — with a sound team composition, A- and B-tier characters can still clear all regular content.
How to Choose
New players should prioritize supports first: Furina, Kazuha, and Bennett can carry you through almost anything — just pair them with a main DPS you enjoy. Veteran players should fill whatever their roster is missing: pick Yelan / Nahida if you're short on off-field damage, or Xilonen / Citlali if you need more buffing. When your pull budget is limited, versatile supports offer better value than the current version's main DPS. Build whoever you like — the vast majority of Genshin content won't hard-gate you on strength.
