Party Screen Animation Tier List | Genshin Impact 

I can't wait to see what they do for Furina's.

Aloy is debatably S tier just for getting an animation in the first place

Al Haitham looking like he forces himself to be there is the most on brand Al Haitham can be

Seeing how each Archon's animation reflects their personality, it makes sense for Zhongli's animation to be simple and stoic, just like the CEO of GEO

I actually find Zhongli's animation very fitting his personality. He's not a flashy archon, why should he have a flashy animation. Someone should make a tierlist of how much the animation fits the character rather than how much of a show they put up. Because in two to three days, most of us forget about these animations altogether. You don't even get to see them if you use the quick setup.

Justice for Beidou, she's WAY TOO COOL AND CONFIDENT only to receive a simple sidestep twirl 😭

“Almost like Archons get special treatment” The whole Archon squad so far have their element representation in their poses after the animation, so there’s that- 😂

I think simpler animations fit some of these characters better. Just like other people have also added, Alhaitham is a good example of this. Are his ingame animations flashy? Yes. But is he a flashy person? Not so much. In fact I think it was very in character for him to put aside his book and stand there looking ready to ask you "So when are we going?"(considering one of his party joining lines is "How long will this require, exactly?" I find it somewhat funny). I could make the same case for Diluc and Zhongli(though I understand why people wanted flashier stuff in Zhongli's case) I will say though, if I were to change one, I'd make Itto's have Ushi in it, simply because Ushi is too adorable to leave out. Otherwise, I think most of them fit well enough.

a “what if albedo released today” would be cool. i feel like he’d be dendro if he was

Surprised the most by Diona, Disapponted the most by Alhaitham, Favourite one is Kokomi. Also I would definitely love to see "what if Venti were released today?"

"This is on brand for Alhaitham, but I'm not giving him points for that" Literally described his whole character

the spirit clone's pose in Shenhe's entry: -that is exactly how Shenhe would look in unrestricted, killer instinct mode 💀

Have Xinqiu drop a huge ton of books off screen and as he attempts to pick them up he notices you and tries to save face by striking a pose.

My favorite part of Xiangling's animation is Guoba ready to throw hands Kung Fu Panda style

Xiao's is, by far, my favorite animation. It's very fitting for his character, and the pose is also similar to the drip artwork. He doesn't need a flashy entrance, he's never _had_ a flashy entrance; he just shows up, and he's all business (except for when it's not business and it's just us asking him to taste-test Xiangling's cooking). We also don't get enough love for his left side, we tend to see his right side a lot, but not so much his left. It's also why I don't have a least favorite animation, everyone's animations are spot on for their characters, and some of them reference their respective drip artworks.

It was only mentioned that Ayaka used a modified version of her skill but theres a few characters who used modified versions of pre existing animations like Tighnari reusing his idle for example

As you noticed with Bennett, most of the animations are currently idles or skills. Why? Because Hoyo did only introduce a few fresh animations and hopefully will update at least all 5* stars in the future as well to have their own animations.

I really wished zhonglis rock thing flew around him after his animation ended it would be so cool

instead of Zhongli just standing there menacingly, I'd love for his animation to be him using his hold skill but instead of a pillar spawning, a throne rises behind him and he sits there with his Statue of the Seven pose

If Furina's animation isn't her sitting on a Water Throne giving the most snobbish Ojou-sama laugh possible I would be extremely disappointed.

Venti’s animation has to be my favorite! You’re right, it just captures his essence so perfectly. Also, I’d love to watch a video on “if the anemo archon was released today” + this video also made me notice Klee’s name bounce up and down when she shows off dodoco and that’s undebatably THE cutest thing i’ve ever seen

So I’m biased bc my favorite character has a super cool animation, but I kinda like that there are some shorter, simpler ones too. I feel like if every character had a Hu Tao or a Childe, it would just be a bit much

The Yae Miko rant was so perfect

Tbf I think Alhaitham pose suits him, yea it's boring because he is bored, he is totally not interested in picking him up for any task the guy wants to be kept in the shadows unbothered and reading some books.

5:52 It's a Jitte, which translates as "ten hands" and was a standard issue police baton used mainly during the Edo-period

I don't understand why people are getting mad over these. Like they're party entry animation for crying out loud like an action equivalent would walking into a crowd or entering a room, you're not gonna get a whole animated cutscene for it and all of them are perfectly tailored to the characters

i'd love to see "what if venti was released today" It's such a bummer and as the anemo archon he couldve had a wayyy cooler kit! I'm thinking onmatched world exploration like floating and superjumping, a kit that actually revolves around music (like HoS from honkai but with instruments?) and swirlllll!!! (and cons that arent horrible)

Wanderers is my favorite (paired with his "this had better be important" voice line), with Zhongli, Raiden and Beidou tied for last (it's all the same animation just with different attitudes). I got the impression Lynney, Lynette, Wanderer, Xangling, Nahida, Kokomi, Hu Tao, and Yao Yao had the most amount of effort in designing them. I wouldn't be surprised if they were some of the first ones they worked on and then ran out of steam as they went. There is an adage "done is better than perfect" that was drilled into my brain in art school and I sorta get that impression with the new animations.

1. I was expecting more from Dehya give her something TT^TT. 2. Xianling jumping in with a side flip was cool af. 3. I love Nahida she just jumps in ready for action.

Can we just appreciate that the party screen background matches each character's region? It's these small things that really make your amazing editing shine, Ratheil. As for your question, Most surprising: Xiangling Most disappointing: Zhongli Favorite overall: Wanderer

It would be a lot more fun if Bennett "bursted in". Oz could be flying into frame and then turn into Fischl, while he stays behind her. Xiangling's is perfect, 100/10. Although is unlikely, I hope they add more animations in the future

As an animator, all of them are atleast an A or B, each of them are unique to their character's personality. Flashy/"wow" animation =/= good animation To me, the movements and flows are great

How bad did the Yae Miko mains hurt you dude

0:10 Traveler 0:27 Albedo 0:41 Xingqui 0:46 Alhaithm 1:09 Aloy 1:17 Amber 1:27 Ayaka 1:41 Ayato 1:52 Baizhu 2:02 Barbara 2:30 Beidou 2:50 Bennett 3:00 Candace 3:10 Childe 3:23 Chongyun 3:35 Collei 3:48 Cyno 4:05 Dehya 4:15 Diluc 4:27 Diona 4:45 Dori 5:03 Eula 5:16 Faruzan 5:23 Fischl 5:37 Ganyu 5:47 Gorou 5:53 Heizou 6:02 Hu Tao 6:14 Itto 6:35 Jean 6:44 Kaeya 6:49 Kaveh 6:59 Kazuha 7:16 Keqing 7:28 Kirara 7:40 Klee 7:55 Kokomi 8:06 Kuki Shinobu 8:23 Layla 8:41 Lisa 8:53 Lynette 9:05 Lyney 9:32 Mika 9:46 Mona 9:54 Nahida 10:04 Nilou 10:20 Ningguang 10:26 Noelle 10:44 Qiqi 10:49 Raiden 10:59 Razor 11:12 Rosaria 11:24 Kujou Sara 11:42 Sayu 11:54 Shenhe 12:11 Sucrose 12:28 Thoma 12:48 Tighnari 12:56 Venti 13:22 Wanderer 13:38 Xiangling 13:56 Xiao 14:13 Xinyan 14:25 Yae Miko 14:59 Yanfei 15:08 Yaoyao 15:22 Yelan 15:34 Yoimiya 15:59 Yunjin 16:12 Zhongli

I noticed Beidou’s pose is from the cutscene where we ride on her ship.

Nobody wants to admit it but Gouba and Xiangling takes the crown

i really wish that for some of them, they kept their cool pose within the animation instead of switching into a more generic one. i would’ve loved to see gorou keep that pose having thrown out the doggy general, and have yao yao keep the adorable pose with yuegui and have her wobble a little trying to stay balanced. i think some characters benefit from having something more simple, but a lot of them feel like they just lacked the time to come up with new, fun animations (which is likely the case).

-Aether's disappointed me, I get that they're the first character we get but.. idk -I think that Sayu's surprised me the most, not really in a good or bad way I just was expecting her to yawn like Layla but she actually had a cool animation -Overall my favorite is Lyney's, I didn't manage to pull him this time around but he's just *chef kiss*

Kirara’s animation could’ve been her running up and entering the screen in her cat box form then popping out and doing her pose

The DKR music was so unbelievably fitting like whoa

Travelers was def underwhelming wish their was more to them I do rlly love Xianglings and Sayu doing flips BC its satisfying and smooth to me I can't say I hate any but if I had a least favorite it would have to be yunjins BC its just one of her attack animations Love the vid tho, u do have very valid points have a good day/night!~

The most disappointing is Chongyun's cause it is just his idle,most surprising is Yoimiya's cause she finally got good treatment and overall favorite is Raiden's

my personal opinion: as long as the animation is ON BRAND with the character's personality and how they behave story-wise (not lore-wise e.g: beidou defeating haishan or sumthin), it's great. and some of them don't even need to do anything to look elegant. i get what alot of ppl expected, like flashy animation, alot of movements, and a use of props. but the thing is... this is not apex legends, guys. get over it 🙏

I actually like beidou's a lot. It looks really intimidating because she's minimalistic. She's not gonna do things for you, no no, you're gonna do things for HER

I would say that Zhongli is disappointing even though I know it fits his personality. Even his trailer shows his cool side. Xiangling is the most surprising because of her back flip so she's in the top 3 for me. My favourite is definitely the cute and graceful Nahida, followed by Raiden Shogun.

The Miko rant went from funny to worn to my cheeks hurt with how quietly you kept ramping it up.

Top tier editing as usual! Also I would love to see a venti remake video!

The one that really disappointed me was Zhongli. You see if it was any other character i wouldn't have minded but Zhongli is a character that is known for having the best animations and cutscenes in the game. They could have done so much with him like perhaps he comes in with his charged attack or something like that. The one that surprised me the most was XL. I didn't expect Guoba to be there but I like the creativity. My favourite animation has to be Nahida. The way she comes in a swing and does a twirl while her eyes were gleaming was so good.

Alhaitham. I actually wanted him to pop his pocket book *as idle animation* we have it now, folks. as a lame party entry animation 💀

SO GLAD YOU'RE APPRECIATING VENTI!! LYNETTE'S IS ALSO SO, SO COOL

Idk why you don't like Diona but I love to see you recodnizing that it looks nice! Tho shes my favorite character, i didn't really know what to expect. But I was so happy when I saw her just shaking her cocktail and getting mad for being interrupted, suits her so well 😂

Candace's stance is so cool, literally when she's still she's the one that looks the toughest

My only feelings about how you placed Yae Miko was "okay I GET IT place her and move on holy crap wait she does what with her hands???" I saw someone say they wish Traveler had different entrances for each element, and I agree! Like for Anemo she, sorry, They do the knights of favonius salute like in the Klee event.

Can i just say, as simple as Albedo's was, the way he looked at you at the end spoke to me. Just wanted to point that oki byeeee! 👀✨

Actually venti being released today is a very interesting video idea, i’d be cool to see that happen!

Klee be like -> Can I offer you a bomb in these trying times

Yae Miko says: TOUCH FLUFFY TAIL

xiangling the pyro, polearm and party screen animation archon all at the same time

I love all the animations I think they’re so cute and well character aligned

Heizou's "dagger" is a kind of police baton iirc

I'm Surprised they didn't do this prior to 4.0

Bruh you interrupted my tcg to put me in your party so of course i aint gonna try look to cool for you😒

Great video! And as a Venti main (who even before Wanderer was released HAS been thinking "what if Venti could actually fly....) I'd love to see the 'if Venti was released today'!

Always coming with the 10/10 video ideas

This is funny Half the “bad ones” just fit the character Not like I can see it in my game It doesn’t show in mobile Sadge 😢 I’m wondering how one would rate how the characters in honkai impact 3rd drop in at the start of the levels That would be fun

My fav was obviously wanderer it just "fighter jet reporting in"😂 The bast for me is yaoyao i can't stop thinking about it it's just soo cute to see little radish bunny on her shoulder its sooo cuuuute And the most disappointing was eula i felt like they could've done so much with her but eh

I mean for yelan they would need to create extra endings with diff dice and the animation would be needed stitched together in real time when getting random number or just creating 6 animations with diff number in the end

Kazuha's animation disappointed me the most ngl... it was as if they forgot to actually give him an animation ☠️

I actually love xingqius. The fancy stance he, the way he closes the book. Suits him as a fancy nerd. Wouldn't say it's the best but I enjoy it a lot

All the budget than should went into xingqiu and alhaitham went to our 6 star xiangling (and guoba)

I would really like to see a "what if Venti released today"!

Video idea: characters skills and how useful they would be in day to day life

I respect all tier lists with tartags in S

Diluc and Kaeya's dissapointed me So much... I Love them both to pieces but it's so incredibly dissapointing because both of their Party screen animations are so similar to their idle animations. Diluc could do something cool with calling his bird and having it perch on his arm or something like a "Dark night hero" entrance or ready his Claymore. Kaeya could do a cool sword trick since his sword work is so pretty, or have one of his icicles surround him, or adjusting his eyepatch or doing other coin tricks like rolling it between his fingers, or just any other movement that wasnt the same as his idle animation.

Woo go Chongyun lol! And to answer your inquiry yes a very similar animation is present as one of Chongyun's idles 💙 As someone who mains him gotta say, really enjoy this animation a lot and how they have him hold the pose rather than relax as he does in his idle.

As a Venti fan, the "what if Venti's released today" video idea sounds really interesting ngl

10:47 Now I permanently hear "you should kill yourself NOW" with Raiden's animation and honestly they kinda make it better for me - she's a high tier god after all.

I will never not say this. FISCHL IS NOT FISCHL WITHOUT OZ

Alternative title: Hating on every Introverted Characters' Party Screen Animation and somewhat being semi-hyped for the Extroverted ones'. Like dude, my boy Xingqiu's animation is so elegant and you just straight up put him in the F tier for not jumping from the top of the Everest mountain then does a Spiderman pose while carrying his own Mary Janes? Really.

6th time asking for version trailer tierlist

Most disappointing for me was Kirara, she could had jumped on screen from her box form. Most surprising would be Keqing's as the teleport is actually really satisfying to see, not to mention you can actually see her throw the thing before she teleports. And my favorite is Hu Tao's, she simply had the best animation in my opinion lol.

Not gonna lie Noelle's animation is so humble and loveable definitely my favorite 4* animation

Most dissapointing for me were Alhaitham and Xingqiu. Their animation is so boring and even if you couod say well Xingqiu is a 4 star that isn't an excuse cause most 4 stars have a good one. Most surprising was Xiangling. The flip was really unexpected. My favourite is without a doubt Ventis. When he plays the lyre it's just so relaxing and satisfying. When you said you find kazuhas a little awkward cause it feels like an animation is missing, that's my feeling with Mikas one. Idkw but the way he just abruptly pulls out his crossbow after he was just sereningly reading really feels like I missed a part.

5th time asking for a version trailer tierlist PLEASSSSSSE

alhaitham would've been S-tier if he came with the chair.

if venti was released today, there are a few things I would’ve loved to see: 1) his c1 adding two additional arrows to his charged shot being included in his normal c0 kit. all the other archons have unique charged shot animations, so it only makes sense for venti to have a special one too. yeah, the damage increase is minimal, but so are the other archons’. 2) venti’s ascension passive that summons the uplift for his held skill should just… be a part of his skill. and his ascension passive should actually be useful? it doesn’t have to be gamebreaking, it could be a decent energy recharge/elemental mastery boost to himself or a small boost to the whole party. 3) his animations for his normal attack string also feel very basic. again, it’s not like you’ll ever see them in gameplay, but if you compare them to, say, faruzan’s, hers has more personality

I would like to thank you for actually showing the full animation and not cutting of their feet. Never thought that it would be so annoying to not see the full picture because I wanted to reanimate one of these but the feet where not showing

I really hope Furinas is her rushing in with a crate and quickly standing on it to strike a proud confident pose. ps. Biggest Disagree has got to be Chongyun. Think the character love brought up there... somehow.

I would definitely love to see "what if venti was released today" video, i feel like venti got absolutely shafted simply cuz he was released first

heizou’s little weapon thingy is a jitte, basically a police baton

I was lowkey hoping Neuvillette came up from the water in a dragon form that would have been so cool

Eula’s animation just feels weird to me She does a spin… without taking any step It’s a hard floor, not an ice floor, and she shouldn’t be spinning weightlessly like that, holding a claymore

Hey Ratheil, can you make a video on what if you can select up to 5 party members? I know it's technically already available in the game but only for story quests and not a permanent thing. What kind of team will you make? How will it affect the playstyle of already available teams? If you're considering to make it, thanks!

Ganyu smiles. S tier for that alone

Zhongli one fits him very well. He is not a flashy type of guy, he is the literal representation of an immovable object. He is slowly royal and magestic as an emperor he is...

Everyone saying Alhaitham's animation is bad, meanwhile I don't know what you guys expected him to do, a barrel roll???

After rewatching this and idk if you're going to read this but yes i'd like a "what if venti got released nowadays" video

I think Beidou's animation was literally just taken from the cutscene where she took us to Inazuma. And it makes just as little sense because she notices the camera from the side of her face *without the eye?*

I love how the background is where you can find them like Eula: Mondstadt background Keqing: Liyue background Nilou: sumeru background Lyney and Lynette: Fontaine background Kiara: Inazuma background

It would be easier to rank them if we put them all at F tier first, then move one level up for each quirk they have, one point for cool pose, one point for added visual effect, one point more if the visual effect stays lingering around, one point if they bring their pet or weapon, one point if they do something unexpected. That would be a more measured objective call I guess.
