Genshin Impact tier list explained
In Genshin Impact, many factors are relevant when discussing why a character is good or not. Although some of them can be taken as logical, listing the characters is also a subjective gesture.

Tier lists:
- S-tier characters listed
- A-tier characters listed
- B-tier characters listed
- C-tier characters listed
- D-tier characters listed
- Best DPS list
- Best support list
- Best healer list
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 tier list changes for 3.4 in February 2023
For those looking to quickly know how new characters Alhaitham and Yaoyao have ended up in our list (and who’s moved up or down) here’s all our tier list additions and changes as of version 3.4 in February 2023:
His playstyle might not be for everyone, but being an on-field Dendro DPS, Alhaithaim produces some fanatstic DPS numbers when kitted right, and can slot into many teams needing a Dendro main. Yaoyao debuts as the first Dendro healer, which can be useful in certain teams, but she’s not the best healer available, and has lacklustre Dendro application and damage numbers. She can slot into a lot of effective teams, but should mostly be considered for specific team comps, like part of a Nilou team.
We shifted Heizou down to B-tier not because he’s a bad character, but with better Anemo and DPS options available, he’s not the ideal pick for most - but can be effective if you do need some grouping and swirls, and don’t have better options available.
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.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Genshin Impact A-tier characters listed
Genshin Impact characters in the A tier are still amazing ones, but they end up having a less decisive role in general. They are not as complete as the S-tier characters or some limitations in their design make them rely on specific conditions.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Genshin Impact B-tier characters listed
The B tier is where characters that have some potential, but are not the best in what they do were placed.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Genshin Impact C-tier characters listed
In the C tier, we have placed characters that have limitations that are difficult to ignore, or making them work would take too much effort for a small compensation.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Genshin Impact D-tier characters listed
The last rank in this tier is occupied by characters that have weaknesses which makes dedicating time - or money - to them really complicated.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Genshin Impact best DPS characters list
Although some characters in Genshin Impact are quite flexible in terms of roles, there are among them characters that exceed in this regard.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Genshin Impact best support characters list
Most team compositions in Genshin Impact rely on having two or three support characters. They are the ones responsible for helping the main damage dealer to survive or maximise their damage.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Genshin Impact best healer characters list
Despite most current team compositions not using healers, Genshin Impact has a good number of them in its roster. Because they are not usually part of teams based on changing characters quickly or elemental burst, they may fit your playstyle.
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 February 2023 in version 3.4:
Now that you know who the best characters are 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.
