Therefore, to help you pick the best character for your team, we have compiled a tier list from best to worst. I hope this list helps you find the character that best fits your playstyle.
Genshin Impact SS-Tier
This tier list represents the best characters in the game. These characters yield the most power and provide great damage to opponents. And these characters are best both in the defensive and attacking part of the game. Furthermore, their combos and elements’ skills are too devastating for any opponents. Along with that, these characters work best with the other characters in the game.
