Genshin Impact has an ever-growing roster of characters, most of which are obtained through the gacha system. Primogems are at a premium though, and not all characters are created equal.
A big disclaimer before we jump into the tier list though: Genshin Impact tier lists suck. There’s no one universal way to assign value to characters in Genshin. The tiers below don’t necessarily correlate with power level; rather, I tried to sort characters by team flexibility, overall utility, and popularity in the meta.
