0:41: Dehya 1:23: Wanderer 1:53: Tighnari 2:17: Ganyu 2:45: Alhaitham 3:08: Albedo 3:33: Amber 3:48: Ayaka 4:12: Barbara 4:40: Beidou 5:08: Bennett 5:21: Chongyun 5:40: Diluc 6:10: Diona 6:32: Fischl 6:48: Hu Tao 7:45: Jean 8:12: Kaeya 9:09: Xiangling 9:40: Keqing 9:53: Klee 10:24: Lisa 10:39: Traveller (Aether/Lumine -- all elements) 11:47: Mona 12:13: Ningguang 12:40: Noelle 13:15: Qiqi 12:40: Razor 14:18: Sucrose 15:02: Tartaglia/Childe 15:20: Venti 15:28: Xiao 16:00: Xingqiu 16:20: Xinyan 17:01: Zhongli 17:32: Rosaria 17:53: Eula 18:09: Yanfei 18:35: Kazuha 19:00: Nahida 19:15: Yoimiya 19:26: Sayu 19:52: Raiden 20:08: Sara 20:27: Gorou 20:36: Kokomi 21:05: Aloy 21:31: Thoma 21:55: Itto 22:26: Shenhe 20:50: NICHE category (Gorou, Shenhe, Sara, Mika, Faruzan, Yunjin) 23:01: Yae Miko 23:36: Yelan 23:50: Kuki Shinobu 24:25: Heizou 24:52: Collei 25:06: Dori 25:22: Nilou 25:44: Cyno 26:13: Candace 26:30: Layla 26:55: Yaoyao 27:13: Kaveh 27:34: Baizhu 28:03: Kirara 28:36: FINAL

Dori is designed to be a Co-op character imo. In Singleplayer it's not amazing but in co-op the Burst becomes more valuable: 4x more Healing 4x more Energy 4x more Electro App (also works with c2)

Here to comment F for dehya, loved her design and personality so damn much that i was determined to pull for her even though i knew she was bad, but the thing that prevented me for pulling her was because she got added on standard

I don't know and don't want to know how Yae ended up being worse than Eula, lmao.

The amount of happiness in this man's voice when he talks about hu tao or nilou..... true man of culture

With Dendro, Barbara IMO deserves better position just because she can work really well in Nilou team. Sure Kokomi is better but Barbara gets the job done. And she's free 4-star.

Cyno on b tier is criminal when he competes with top dendro teams

I don't like tier lists, characters should be judged by multiple points (team flexibility, DPS, survival, utility, comfort, etc.), instead of just from good to bad. For example, Nilou is high DPS, low flexibility because dendro-hydro condition, with some utility in her team-wide buffs that allows you to get away with less EM on her teammates and high comfort because she doesn't need specific rotations. Nahida and Raiden are both high DPS, high flexibility, high utility because of their buffs even at c0, but Raiden is less comfortable because of rotation requirements. Eula is high DPS, low flexibility (she only works as main phys dps), no utility, low comfort because of rotation requirements. Rating based on their different strenghts is better and more fun than just "better or worse than"

1 problem, sometimes you based your opinion of c0 like kaeya, and sometimes of c6 like yanfei gets a shield at c4

Kuki is S, Gilded EM artifact set and call it a day. Thoma is A, Gilded set as well.

“Sayu is the best exploration character in the game” Yelan and Wanderer:

Bruh Yae below eula, you trippin.

rigged tier list Dori is too high

whoa tierliest again! thats awsome :)

nah way back in 1.0 when i was rerolling for a double 5* i was fortunate to pull benny twice and i was curious about him if he can be a dps but i was surprised that he can heal and buff at the same time and his c1 . i was also able to pull a lot of xinque and i kept defending this 2 way back in 1.0 telling my guys that you would want these 2 units as your other 4* after getting at least 1-2 5* from your reroll, and everyone told me that they are trash except for the chinese guy on our discord server

I've been wating for this video and he ranked all my favourite characters S and A tier

no way bro said keqing is better than childe even with dendro theres no way shes as strong as childe 💀

Qiqi is one of the best healers in the game even if you hate her she’s good

with dendro or hyperbloom Cyno is _really_ good imo he's definitely A (also Kuki is S imo)

Barbara is easily B, decent healing, thrilling tales, decent hydro application if you're up close, free revive at C6

Everyone saying Mona is B hasn’t played her lol..she’s high A at least. Insanely high burst damage and the damage buff she provides is almost on Bennett’s level. She’s better than bennett in the sense that it’s a flat damage buff while bennett gives attack which doesn’t help yelan for example at all.

The only one i'd change would be Haitham to high A, because he is pretty much interchangeable. The strongest part about dendro are its Reactions, and there are some characters who can replace him off-field even. In general every dps shouldn't be on S imo, because they're very dependent on the teamcomp and Abyss rotation. The only exception probably is Ayaka for her unreal Burst that's simply a 5s delete button.

Great tier LIST, I Agree (totally not biased)

I remember being on stream for this tier list

It was my honor to participate in this tier list thanks 😅😅😅

U DESERVE MORE LIKES

I’m ready for the most mid tier list rn.

I can argue that Yae is way stronger than you think she is, especially when dendro got introduced. Sure fischl in some teams can be better but there are certain situations where Yae is better and where Fischl's passive doesn't work. For example, Alhaitham, Tighnari, and on-field Nahida teams. And since she's a catalyst user, she can be a driver for hyperbloom and aggrevate teams, although not as comfortable as Raiden and Kuki, she still gets the job done. Therefore, why the chat is correct about her being at A

i come from IWTL gaming tier list who said sucrose is now A tier because altho she is S tier nobody uses her anymore according to the abyss rate and it's so crazy to hear. glad to know she is still respected everywhere else lmao tier lists based on abyss usage is crazy

as a scara enjoyer, i'm running to your house rn Okay jokes aside good tierlist

Miko is actually a powerhouse but this is your tierlist so it's all good. While everybody else wants their DPSs to do screenshot damage i personally go for consistency(still does 150k ult damage per totem at C0)

I would place Barbara higher - probably low B, or at least high C. I find myself using her as a support fairly often. I will admit that if / when I get Kokomi, I will likely not use Barbara much then.

Wow deelo im sorry but this tier list is kinda horrible for some character placements xD the chat also have a lot of wrong placements but overall i agree with most

5:20 " oh how the turns have tabled" nice xD

Mona in any team besides Ayaka is B tier but with I would argue she’s easily S. It’s like they were made to be played together.

As a c0 hu Tao user, that placement is crazy, I would have put her high s, but not even top of a?

I would have placed Mona Higher just because every time you see a damage showcase it is made up of the same 3/4 units: Bennet, Mona and either Sucrose or Kazuha. Layla is a unit you use to replace Diona in teams where you have Kokomi and don't need a redundant healer but need a second cryo unit and don't have or can't use someone like Rosaria or Shenhe. Layla can provide an attack buff at c4 and valuable interruption resistance (her shield is the second strongest in the game) along side non negligible damage which can make her a better option than Diona in some situations.

I still wonder why people always point out itto being niche and only fit on monogeo, when many other main dps is used in like 1 or two teams, or has many teams but people just ends up using one archetype. but this case is worse on nilou. theres no need to classify her as niche. just think of her as a dps. and she has like 2-3 different variants.

i feel like jean should be higher up, simply because of her utility in multiple teams as a sub dps, healer or even straight up dps

i love that you put kaeya high. as kaeya main since day one i agree that his c6 is A tier

8:06 “But no one uses on-field Jean” Tuonto: Am I a joke to you?

Idk how qiqi is in the bottom tier I love her she carried my team for so long and still will carry till this day that’s crazy

Baizhu is definitely s, he’s as good as kok if not better for heals and his cons make him an entirely off field healer and applicator that you don’t even have to switch to, c0 baizhu is immortal. I think he’s only ranked lower because he’s a new healer character, and we all know how kok was thought of when she came out

tbh i would put nilou as b/c, all she does is stack hp for bloom dmg and at most im getting 24k bloom and thats good but with her weapon 90 and her at 80 with nahida at 1500+ em its underwhelming since theres no other dendro yet that can pure stack em to trigger blooms besides nahida, who if you use nahidas skill nilou then triggers the blooms. and kaveh dont work with her since there bountiful cores

I just noticed that he did the video at 3AM

Nilou is amazing for vape, my nilou doesn't even have the best build and her third sword slash does 20k and her burst does 80k

Nilou is debatable tbh. She's broken in her niche but if we go by abyss standards she's not the greatest in every abyss and her team cant break certain elemental shield well, like cryo for example. This applies to Venti and Ayaka too. Broken in their niche but doesn't work all the time, except Venti gets affected even more. If the placement on a tier also matters, putting Tighnari, Beidou, Scara, Keqing, Yoimiya over characters like Childe, Ayato, Kuki and Yae are very questionable. Ganyu is good but she's just so replacable nowadays that I don't think she should be that high

Qiqi being F is a blasphemy in my books

Wow what a tierlist😂

Xiangling C6 doesn’t buff her own pyronado

Mona is awesome😊 running on water is a valuable navigational skill also!

"No one on fields Jean" *me as a Jean Main 👁👄👁⁉️*

I think Yoimiya should be in S tier. Multiple team comps, when you put her with zhongli yelan and xingqiu she is fire! Also you can use her as a support (atk buff)

keqing is op and i def think she deserves A tier. thanks deelo

Kirara is high B or Low A just because a dendro shield at C0 is still really strong to the point I've replaced Zhongli for her on my dendro related teams besides Cyno. Baizhu is more of a A or S to me though I'm not much of a fan of him.

i want justice for klee 🙋‍♀ she should be atleast in B tier -Klee Main

QiQi with the clam set does 27k consistenly every few seconds off field and is a great healer in Eula team. sorry you did not know enough to make the list brah.

Imo most tierlists rate characters to high and have like half of them in s and a tier. you could really spread them out more, because no way keqing is in the same tier as hu tao and ganyu

I really be forgetting how fine this man is lol

Zhongli should be A tier. He is good shielder, but 3.5-3.7 abyss shows that even his shield is not indestructible, and he doesn't really provide a lot of value in terms of damage or buffs, if you dont sacrifice his shield strength.

at least you put nilou in the right place

I'd say kuki is better than Thoma because her defensive utility (heal) can scale from em while Thomas shield can't

I think you have misunderstood ganyu. My ganyu is 50/150 and deals 15k-25k with the first damage and 30k-50k with the second so in total is 45k to 75k per charged attack so i think she is S tier

I think Thoma/Klee/Yanfei Full EM Burgeon is A tier

Ranking hu tao on the same tier as beidou is insane

Lets start with the mistakes about this, since we are talking damage and viability lets focus on the fact that you mean usage in the abyss. 1. You people dont know how to use qiqi, genuinely you people need to actually try to build her with attack and healing bonus and see the results she is insane. 2. The fact that hu tao is A makes me cringe knowing she is the best pyro dps in the whole game at c0 or c1. 3. Aloy being anything higher than F is an actual crime knowing you put dori and qiqi which actually have a use in game. 4. Yoimiya single-handedly should be an S because she hits like a truck and deals insane damage when put with xingqui or/and yelan. 5. Jean and mona should definitely be A knowing that jean heals so much and mona is an amazing hydro applier and support for showcases and rotations in freeze teams 6. Beidou doesnt have much of a use as much as noelle like i can definitely see myself using noelle for shield and healing in abyss rather than beidou 7. I hate how kuki is only seen viable for dendro like i loved her the day she came out. Her healing is amazing and when an E is done another one will be already ready to be used again and keep in mind she is c6 here 8. Lastly the fact that kaeya is put in the same tier as jean, mona AND yanfei is crazy because he genuinely does nothing when talking damage also never really used in abyss at all

I will not stand for this Razor slander. He’s B-tier at the very least

Have Kaeya C6 and he really is S 😊

Venti being in S? You must be stuck in 1.0 Genshin

Ye good tier list except 4 points First : klee you were to harsh with her she s better than diluc or as good Second : razor you need to try tf he is actually good just below the meta dps Third : I don't like main dps characters in s even If there the best i like to putt them always a tier under the best supports Fourth : zhongli zongli if youre doing a meta tier list hes way too high he s what i call a burn out character hes like jean but a little better

Arlechinno is so hot tho 😩🔥

Closest shield to big dong shlong zhong is c6 leyla

ganyuuu is SSS+++ she drops nukes brooooo she's still sooo goood

Baizhu is a B or C for me. My experience playing him: his shield is very inconsistent in providing resistance to interruption and his damage is extremely low. His heals are fine nothing special and his dendro application doesn’t seem like anything special either. Definitely not worth pulling him, I would rather use Yao Yao and just save for nahida

Klee is actually the best for burgeon because you don't have to worry about building her with Energy Recharge

nahhh justice for qiqi

I left as soon as you put Mr forest watch above scaramouche 🤬🤬😭

Ganyu can be a support too

Mario party 2 ❤

My girl Hutao will always be the best in my heart

Hello

Nilou, Nahida, Kazuha, Raiden >>

venti in S is a literal crime

I LAUGHED SO HARD ON THAT DORI PART LMAOAOAOAA but ok if we’ll be honest, dori actually can provide good heals. But she has no uses in any team so

people still think cyno is trash? and i get 36 easily with cyno 😅

Kokomi in S let's goooo

Kaeya S king 👑

Tbf Aloy should only be the only character in F-Tier • Dori? She has her uses but she's easily replaced. • Qiqi? At C0 she's better than Dehya (obviously C6 Dehya would be just C0 Diluc level but I'm not gonna base the tier on that) basing on team comps (Qiqi Taser & Qiqi Hyperbloom exists) + 4pc. Clam also exists so at least she can deal decent damage *unlike Dehya who cancels her burst when jumped and her most viable team is Mono Pyro, which easily outclassed by Klee and even Xinyan compared to Dehya* Other Mentions: • Kaeya? C0 solid A-Tier no matter what! High A-Tier if C6. He does his job really well and is also very versatile. • Kuki Shinobu at this point is just straight up S-Tier • Alhaitham should be at least high A-Tier because his team composition is also kinda niche for only just Dendro Teams unlike Raiden Shogun who can be used as a Hypercarry for Mono Electro, Rational Team, Quicken Team, and even as a Hyperbloom Enabler. She has that many teams making her strength also high when choosing teams. • Candace can be used in a Nilou Team for hydro infusion so also consider that one + 4pc. Instructor holder as well to buff your team's EM • Most very strong Main DPS Characters should only be just A-Tier *except the Raiden Shogun* knowing most of them are just easily replaceable (normally all DPS characters are situationally replaceable). Most of S-Tier Characters would only be either a Support or a Sub-DPS, Raiden Shogun being both a Main DPS and a Support is enough + team viability to prove that she is S-Tier worthy character • Yae Miko is high A-Tier worthy with Dendro's Release. A lot of players underestimated her damage rn and it saddens me while I see her dealing big damage on my account with only having decent artifact stats.

CO Hutao is S tier without doubt if u r considering Sucrose, Fischl, and Nilou are S tier

childe is def S

C2 miko REKTS SHIT. it is like having 3 fischles on the field at once with a burst that actually does something. it literally pisses me off you put fisch in S and wanted miko in B. Miko.... 12 star my abyss in one of the teams all of the time. rediculous

Venti Is too high

Genuinely hurts to see Traveler not put into S tier (as a Traveler main) ♡

had me at dehya in F then immediately lost me at tig and wanderer in A.... gross. they are soooo vanilla bleh

zhongli, albedo, xiao, jean is the best xiao team

Cyno gotta be A at least

no ayato?

Broo new player tier list be like. Btw sucrose s???????😂

klee isnt worse than diluc :(

In all honesty, Qiqi didn't deserve to be in F. At least she is good at her job but Dehya isn't at all. I don't even know what Dehyas purpose is. She isn't really good at anything. Yae Miko is also very good. Her off field damage and electro application is really good for reactions especially since dendro release. Also Yanfeis Shield is only unlocked at C4 which is not really accessible to most players. Laylas shield is actually amazing and her off field cryo application is really good too. This tier list is good but I really don't understand some placements, I'm sorry 🥲😮‍💨
