Ranking EVERY Character in Honkai: Star Rail 

EDIT: Since I think it's important, this video was recorded on May 4th, right before Robin (and by extension 2.2 came out). I'm aware that break teams are on the rise with Harmony MC. Check back in a week or two when Boothill comes out and then check back again when Firefly/Jade come out. My thoughts will be in this pinned comment~

I love how broken Arlan is, the fact he is stronger than Acheron is just insane! Like wow this security boy is way powerful than an Emanator

“Imaginary TB is niche”, this statement will not age well.

After 2.2 you can see the real value of Misha. He has the highest toughness break in a single attack with his ultimate and can extend the duration of toughness break with his freeze. He's really made for HMC super break teams.

Agreed, let Qingque cook up all the damage and skill points

17:08, just so you know. Aventurine does actually have a crit dmg res debuff on his ult. So can compete with Fire mc and Geppie it’s just that his debuff is less accessible

Looks like someone recorded this before new break meta was a thing.

with the current MoC trend that mobs are getting more aggressive, clara is getting so much more value, example is the current MoC 12

Acheron's technique alone makes her worth pulling, the amount of time it saves is just too good, and with trick snacks being basically free you will never enter combat in the open world again (except for formidable foes :/)

This tier list completely ignores the break team possibilities of HTB making a lot of characters more viable, and bringing Xueyi's stat requirements significantly down.

Silver wolf in the same tier as Asta is just disrespectful.

HTB can turn basically any character into a break DPS. Yes, it works best on characters with high toughness dmg (Asta, Misha, Welt), but you can compensate with Ruan Mei. Super Break is nuts, it's a bit like hyperbloom, requiring building the right stats on the team & committing hard, but has a naturally high damage floor if you can pull it off. And Sushang is great in break teams, her kit revolves around being a break DPS & she's physical, which (along with fire) has the highest break multiplier of the elements. With HTB, she's really good now.

Feel like you're underselling H!MC a lot. They're not in anyway at the same level as the other top Harmonies, but they allow characters like Sushang, Misha, Xueyi to be more than decent and allows Himeko to exist outside PF. They're tailor made for Break, but even without swapping all your DPSes relics to break, it's just a straight up from a very decent to good additional damage source.

umm weakness implant is not the only thing silverwolf does ...... what about the 45% def down for 3 turns (dont know the exact number) , all type res pen , the speed attack and def bugs the debuff application and amount of debuffs is out of the world too excellent tier imo

As a person that has been using Misha as my sub-dps in my general team since he came out... yes as a Misha "main" we exist.

Worst take, among many rather good takes, is that Topaz is niche tier only because she is a playstyle enabler for follow up teams, like kafka is for DoT teams, her value goes up the same way that kafka does when a character that supports that archetype is released.Therefore logic dictates that if Kafka is excellent so is Topaz.

The safest unit u can pull are actually harmony units and a sustainer, any dps or dmg dealer can be powercrept easily after a few patch😢

Naaaahhhhh, Pitch-Dark Hook the Great slander is crazy. She's like a Destruction version of Serval, she can spam her ult alot through out the fight especially at e4

24:20 If Jingliu is SP positive, you’re doing something horrible wrong.

Video Idea: Top 5 Best HSR Light Cones in terms of the artwork on the cones and not gameplay

aventurine DOES have debuff, on his ultimate !!

Small correction, Aventurine can in fact debuff an enemy via his ultimate and make them receive more Crit DMG, so he is good to be paired with Acheron. I wouldn’t say that HTB is niche since they can allow anyone to deal great damage just by building Break Effect. I think Acheron should definitely be in a higher tier. With the proper investment, she can pretty much bypass her need for her LC and even her talent which implores her to be paired with other Nihility characters. I, for one, didn’t pull for Acheron’s LC yet she’s still reaching at least 100,000 DMG per ultimate and 30,000 per skill even with a nonS5 LC.

I unironically built Misha, and I really like using his ultimate and see them shred through a boss’s toughness bar. But yeah his placement in the tier list. I also heard people make Misha a Welt sustain at home. So he’s either Jingliu at home, or Welt Sustain at home.

I pretty much agree with the majority of the statements in this video, but I would like to mention that Aventurine isn't downgraded compared to Fu Xuan in everything that isn't FUA teams. He provides a debuff on his ultimate that also provides crit dmg, he has big fat shields that get replenished often due to his follow up, he can tear down imaginary weaknesses fairly easily while also helping with the overall damage of the team, he gives 50% Effect Res (which when faced against many debuffs, specially if they happen in a row, is better than 1 secured prevention against 1 debuff), he practically doesn't need to use his basic skill, and then if we talk about higher investment his LC provides another debuff, more dmg for him and even greater shields while his E1 provides even more Crit Dmg and big shield on Ultimate and E2 provides another debuff and overall more damage to the team. I won't deny that Fu Xuan is an incredible preservation unit and that also it all comes down to preferences/taste, but with that in consideration, I wouldn't say that she is the best preservation or that she is better than him except in one case, but rather, they are pretty much on par on average which isn't really a bad thing at all.

Pretty much agree, except for a few bits. First, the part where you said Herta is "virtually unusable outside of [pure fiction]" is just wrong. She's very usable, especially in Simulated Universe and even in MoC. Her issue is the same as Argenti, though, in that she really wants good match ups like, say, the Deer, Team Leader, some variations of the Swarm. I don't necessarily disagree with the tier placement since Herta is a unit whose shine depends on the game mode you throw her in, but "virtually unusable" is just untrue. Pela in high tier and Silver Wolf in niche doesn't make sense. With the exception of AOE Silver Wolf is literally a "anything you can do, I can do better" character to Pela. Silver Wolf's def shred is stronger, Pela needs E4 to reduce ice resistance whereas Silver Wolf can just thanos snap away elemental resistance (even if it is a random element), and Pela needs a LC to debuff with normal attacks, whereas Silver Wolf's talent means she's always applying debuffs. This last bit is important to hammer home, because the Pearls of Sweat LC doesn't give Acheron stacks if you reapply its debuff, but Silver Wolf's bugs always do. The only areas Pela beats Silver Wolf in is an AOE ult and accessibility. Otherwise, Silver Wolf's better. Not so much better that they should be different tiers, but I do think they should be the same. And lastly, for those who read far enough, congrats! You found the one person who has built and played Misha! I like him, he is good, and you can get a lot out of him. But at the end of the day he is a 4 star damage dealer. Maybe if the break meta becomes a real thing he'll have a place since a 10x bounce will eat through toughness like it's nothing, but he has the same problem as Hook where the kit is good but not unique. Meaning if you play for fun he'll be a great unit, but if you play for meta he doesn't offer anything that can't be given to you by another character except the 10x ultimate bounce and defense shred at E2. Like I said I like him, he's fun, and I've cleared MoC with him, but I'm not gonna come out here and say "such an under rated character!" (even if he technically is since no one is giving him any credit when he deserves *at least* a little) Edit: I wrote this comment before building Harmony Trailblazer, and after a bit of casual testing I can say confidently that Misha is really good with HTB. I used them both on the second half of MoC 10 against True Sting with Herta and Aventurine. Not really a recommended team as it's pretty SP negative and I would have liked to do floor 11 or 12 but neither of them recommend Ice right now. But regardless, Misha can be used pretty effectively if you know what you're doing

Calling Silver Wolf niche is insane slander. Even if she doesn't inflict the weakness you want, she has more Def shred and debuffs than Pela. While Pela has AoE, that's not enough of a game changer that they would be in different tiers. Especially considering how much stronger SW is for 1-2 targets.

Herta and Erudition units aren't just only useful for Pure Fiction and useless everywhere else. 90% of the content in this game for most people is farming Calyxes. They are the best and fastest unit for this purpose.

I don't know when this was recorded but the lack of taking harmony trailblazer into account makes it already dated

Aventurine does have a debuff- with his ultimate.

Weird to put Topaz so low. Only someone who doesn't understand how she plays would rate her that low. Very good video other than that tho.

It's so absurd how good Pela is for being a launch 4-star when two of her traces and last Eidolen don't do that much for her (personal damage buffs on a debuff unit).

I wouldn't be mad about Acheron, but the fact that you have no dps in top tier, and you refuse to put one there is just stupid. Like only utility units could carry you through the game. At least one dps is a must pull.

Fu xuan best sustain, said pela and silver wolf arent equal, forgot that aventurine has a crit dmg increase debuff, hmc not top tier, Please never cook again

as a sushang main, with the right build and supports she can be a MONSTER! throw her with harmony TB and ruan mei, and couple that with the fact we're getting a hunt gamemode and more break relics soon, she's gonna hit her full potential soon!

Misha has the highest Super Break damage potental with his max stacked ultimate due to scaling with toughness damage directly multiplying it.

Really nice to see a tierlist from you!!

I've been a Clara main since 1.0, ever since she popped out of the Departure Warp, but I must say that I agree with your "Decent" ranking of her. Clara can be strong, but her over-reliance on enemy actions to even use her FuA is her Achilles' Heel. No other DPS has such caveat, because none of them depend so much on the enemies to use their gimmick. It kinda requires her to team up with someone who can help her with maintaining a high aggro on herself. It also wants her team to avoid CC'ing the enemies, as CC'd enemies can't act or have their action delayed, which can affect Clara using her counterattacks.

I would bump Guinaifen to decent. She's not restricted to DoT like Luka and Sampo. She can work on any team because of her debuffs like Acheron and Dr. Ratio team

Now harmony TB is "niche" the same way nilou is "niche"

Regardin Tingyun: In one of te first patch for the game I recall reading that coders wronly gave her a much higher "taunt value" that she sould have had and that was removed, but seeing she keeps getting attacked I can only think that the reason for that is that Tingyun is treated as a Destruction unit (which have a higher taunt value than Hamony units) because of her part in the story, basically making her taunt value a temathic gameplay addition.

If there is a character i might say could get a chance to be in top tier as dps... Maybe its kafka since unlike other character who will get downgrade soon, she can and will get stronger as more dot team releases her kit literally revolves around devouring other dot dmg dealers and using them as pedestral to come out on top which other character might never have, she is just representative of nihility at this point💀

but Aventurine does have debuffs...

14:22 For SP, I think you could categories it as SP positive - units with net positive SP generation(i.e Ruan Mei, Fu Xuan), SP Negative - units with net negative SP (i.e imbibitor lunae, Jing Yuan, Blade) and SP Neutral - units that alternates between skills and basic attacks (i.e Serval).

17:11 Aventurine DOES have a debuff in his ultimate tho

28:44 hi, misha main here! went out of my way to pull for him on ildh's banner in 2.0 because i needed an ice character and immediately built him i guess i did do "significant investment" in the sense that i gave him the 5* simuni lc and decent relics, but he does nice damage on his own that only increases when being paired with the crazy supports in this game (he hit 600k the other day w ruan mei) overall he's amazing for freeze, esp in simuni remembrance runs, and super fun with his weakness break

Misha got his niche in Simulated Universe if you need to clear a run in Swarm disaster or Gold and Gears using Remembrance Path. He is able to freeze very often, if in the future new units come out Increasing damage to Frozen targets as their core playstyles he can become a great sub/main dps.

I used Hook in the early game 😭 her play style is very fun and she gets a lot out of burning enemies

In regards to your point on QQ, when you mentioned IL practically requires Sparkle, I would argue a similar mentality with QQ. She is ok without sparkle, but with sparkle she really takes off. That is key to making the RNG very strong in your favor. I cant remember last time ever failed her RNG due to Sparkle constantly feeding her the SP she needs. As long as you have that combo and know how to play them (not using QQ ult immediately for example), she sky rockets in consistency and damage

14:26 that a good note for what you mean by SP positive. Nice to clarify

u said many times that aventurine doesnt have a debuff but doesnt he have one in his ult and (if u have his light cone) in his follow up attack

“Adventurine doesn’t have a debuff” yeah he does read his kit

Vars video yaaaay can't wait to see xueyi in the niche tier and even though she's 1 of my favorite dps in the game I hope she gets some love from vars

i do not agress with the niche category. becouse in your point of view everyting that is not a crit damage build is niche. so dot is niche, break build niche. like you dont have that many ways to deal damage in the game and build a character, robin is not universalm sparke basicly only buffs crit builds? why the fuck i would use sparke in a kafka team?

probably should add Eidolon 0 only in the title "Eidolons are applied on a case by case basis (5 stars will be graded based on E2 maximum - anything higher will be ignored due to being too expensive" ...what ? then Acheron would go straight up to must pull, her E2 is the one that will help her the most

I mostly agree with everything except argenti, he does not belong to the same tier as dan heng and jingliu

I really like Seele and want to use her since she is still my only quantum dps but I feel like my skill level, roster, and build are simply not enough for her to clear some of the harder contents like MoC or PF. Honestly I really envy those who found success with her.

Regarding Tingyun, if we are playing with the Phantilya possesed Tg, remember she it's a follower of the destruction path, and destruction has the second highest agro in the game after preservation characters!

20:05 "he did get better in recent years" the game only just had its 1st anniversary 😂😭

Misha is actually quite good for a 4* Destruction Unit. His Ult can cone in clutch with it's freezes and he oblierates toughness bars with it

I think it’s funny that essentially you can almost seperate the top two tiers by paths. Top tier sustain and harmony vs top tier damage (plus luocha). Not a criticism I agree with basically everything you said (tho I would put Acheron in the highest tier)

I do have one argument for xueyi, harmony trailblazer. Acheron is restricted to 2 nihility and a sustain unless you are crazy or have really tough characters in pure fiction. Xueyi ultimate now due to trailblazer has gone from an ultimate thats good at breaking to suddenly an amazing hyberbreak nuke, and extremely versatile Im considering running her with Harm TB, Luocha, and silverwolf for a 2 element break team

Around 1720ish you indicated Aventurine doesn't have a debuff, however I think it's worth noting if you got his signature weapon his follow up actually inflicts vulnerability which does tick Acherons counter. His ultimate also inflicts a debuff called Unnerved which ticks acherons counter, so while it's true fire tbs is more reliable due to it being a skill, Aventurine does have 1-2 debuff sources.

I feel like this video was written/made before it became clear how good Harmony TB is, because they are decidedly more than niche, haha! They enable an entire kind of team around themselves, and especially with Ruan Mei you can get silly things like Gallagher doing 100k+ damage as a healer. Harmony TB isn't niche because they can only go in break effect teams, they ARE break effect teams. I feel like that would be like saying Kafka should be niche because she's only for DoT teams. Likewise, a lot of characters have more value because of Harmony TB's existence. Xueyi particularly feels like she should at *least* move up to niche, if not higher, just because of Harmony TB. Harmony TB also improves the performance and use case for characters like Gallagher, Sushang, Misha, etc. I accept if it might not be enough to move some of them per se, but there's more to discuss with these characters at the very least. Sushang definitely shouldn't go in bad though simply because Harmony TB gives her more use than the Physical TBs and Arlans and Dan Hengs of the world. Silver Wolf being niche is also silly to me when she's as good as or better than Pela at Pela's job for the most part. I think they belong in the same tier. And I understand this is a meta analysis so it's not relevant but the comfort SW provides in early, mid, and even late game/MoC clearing for hitting weaknesses you might not have on your account cannot be overstated as far as I'm concerned, RNG or not. There are definitely others I'd move around but those are my main nitpicks. Happy to see where you evaluated Jing Yuan though, his stonks have definitely only gone up with time and I feel like a lot of people still underrate him!

I doubt my E5 S1 Acheron will be powercrept anytime soon. Next rerun she will be E6 and she aint gonna become irrelevant anytime soon.

Do you think a 2-d tier list would be more useful. in the damage dealer / specialist / amplifier / sustain way that another particular guide does?

Silver Wolf and pela should be in the same tier or arguably higher because she does everything that pela does but better, except aoe and impair

i would argue that Bronya actually works quite well in DoT teams if you don’t have Ruan Mei or Robin. action advance benefits DoT users because it allows them to use their skill or basic again and apply (or trigger, in the case of Kafka) more stacks of DoT, which also gives them more energy to give even more stacks of DoT. if you’re running Sampo and/or Black Swan in DoT, Bronya can make good use of Penacony planar set and Planetary Rendezvous for a DMG percent buff, especially if you’re running HuoHuo as a sustain. but you can also run the Dance Dance Dance light cone to advance all allies, and make up for the Crit DMG buff being useless. so she’s not optimal for DoT but still slots well into certain DoT comps if you don’t have other options

I did play starrail and I don't hate it, but I like how meta doesn't matter as much in genshin. If I like a character I can play them and still do decently well if they're low tier

Ngl Yukong is just like Mona, insane buffs that are exclusively used for RU-vid damage showcases

Tingyun might have the taunt value of a destruction character because of her connection to Phantylia (emanator of destruction)

Adeventurine is pretty good with the Light cone with Topaz on it that affects enemies that hit you with burn, it gives him decent defense and a it works with Ratio and Acheron.

I already commented about Serval, but also popping in to say I think Robin is not on the same tier as Sparkle and Ruan Mei. I've done a LOT of testing with her, especially with the new MoC and the only team she feels any good on is team IPC. I had some success with Ruan Mei and Robin together, however HTB is just better with Ruan Mei. Robin's biggest weakness is that normal teams just don't have the actions to get good value from her ult. Without 180+ spd, a normal team has 9 possible actions during Robin's ult. Not every team member will be hitting the enemy with all of those actions, meaning on average you tend to only get 6-7 activations of Robin's ult unless your dps is like Seele. Meanwhile team IPC is pushing 18-20. Leading to a Robin that just off her damage, assuming 15k a hit, who goes from 105k damage to nearly 300k. I want her to be more general than she is, but that's just not shaking out in practice especially with that monstrous 160 energy cost ult. You are right that she will be the best 0 cycle support for basically ever, but I don't think pull value should be assigned for 0 cycle units as 0 cycling is just a very different way to play the game. And can be made "trivial" by just slapping your favorite e6 damage dealer there.

I think that, because we have good break supports, Sushang has more options than base Dan heng (HTB and Ruan Mei) and has a good 5* lightcone in Seele's signature thanks to her talent which she can max it's effect with less investment than Dan Heng, especially at E6. So I think you can keep her in average. Also her turn "refresh" is not gated behind an eidolon

Yangking is so goated, single target king only got power crept by bootking

22:22 Luka could be potentially be an good option if you don't wanna get Boothill (since i know you guys want Firefly or could be Ruan Mei) which he would get built as Break like minimum of 200% break effect & break alot without needing very much effect hit rate since HMC exist.

huohuo and fu xuan also have revives at e2 with great e1's so getting eidolons on those two over time will make sure they stay staple supports for a very long time. aven's future growth is majorly for fua i feel like. there is no way he will be the only limited shielder in the next year, and i don't think they'd release a 2nd fua shielder.

29:00 i think the only person i know of who might’ve built Misha unironically is Rednasyo he absolutely loves him for some reason lmao

Exactly, damage dealers are meant to become obsolete in future. Everyone went nuts over dhil damage because he does 1000% more damage seele can do in a cycle, everybody went nuts over jingliu damage because she can surpass dhil in some situations. Even now, it's the same situation, Acheron can do more than a million damage in a cycle, which is outstanding, to say the very least, but what's stopping hoyo to make another character do more than 3 million damage in a cycle? This is why tierlists based on damage dealers will never almost make any sense. Their value will forever depend on how well they can use the new shiny support.

Oh so thats why you put that post earlier about why tierlists are so controversial. Well this one in particular seems fine and it has credibility due to this being made by a regular and active player who also makes guides and in depth analyses on characters. :D

Got Bronya early, but gave her a pass until I looked into assessments of the standard crewe. Creeping up on the standard selector, I got to wondering if I go for either the as-yet unobtained characters or Bronya's E1, only to lose to that E1, freeing me up to err toward Himeko over Bailu. Then lost to Himeko, but had since been brought to consider E2 Bronya, since I'm still sitting on 600 starlight for her or Gepard's light cone. Most recently lost to that E2, so unless Bailu decides to squeak in, I'm freed to round out my roster! Bronya has been a benevolent leader~

I mostly agree... buuut.. - I would put Silver Wolf in Excelent tier list since she does provide a lot of defense shred. - I would also move Tingyun down into Excelent tier list as well because she isn't really as good as Ruan Mei, Sparkle, Bronya or Robin, they provide as much and more damage boost but for the entire team. If you could choose between having any of these characters or Tingyun in your team, you would almost always choose any of those 4 instead of her simply because they give more value. - Acheron into top tier because of her insane damage even though I know over time she will probably be powercrept, but I think she will always stay relevant, like Hu Tao in Genshin, she came out in version 1 but is still one of the best DPS. Also tier lists are prone to change so characters should be judged based on the current status of the game. - And maybe Gallagher into Excelent tier list if you have him E2 since he provides team-wide healing, cleanse and effect res, his ult allows him to act instantly so he can cleanse or heal..

Acheron is one of, if not THE only damage dealer I'd say is a must pull. You even stated she can break toughness without matching element along with her just being a MASSIVE blast of damage. I have no Eidolons on her and don't have her cone, but Huo Huo/Aventurine with Pela and Silver Wolf just makes her disgusting. She can also fit into a DoT Comp as a 'Just kill the thing' option.

One very important thing to note about Jingyuan: Lightning Lord deals 15 points of toughness damage per hit, coming out to 150 toughness damage at max stacks. This means that Jingyuan technically has the highest highest toughness damage out of any single attack in the game, beating out Xueyi’s ult by 30 points. All of this means he is a surprisingly powerful break DPS, easily hitting over 30,000 super break damage on my very poorly optimized build.

14:25 Because in the stats of the character (Cannot be displayed in the character's normal statistics) she has a similiar agro to preservation characters, also It was a hint that something is fishy in her story

14:53 Note: A jumpscare that can traumatize

idk what it is about this specific video, (maybe the fact that it wasn't too scripted) but I loved every minute of it, it felt more genuine than usual like i was talking to a friend or something haha idk if that sounds cheesy. But great concept and loved it, I hope you'll make updates in the future after a long time has passed ^^

Misha's strengths according to a Misha main (me): - Good single target damage with ult. - Works well in duel DPS scenarios, namely IB Dan Heng and Qingque - Very good in Rememberence Teams That's about it, I personally think he is fun.

march should absolutely go in niche. Remembrance cheesing is always a thing, but she can hold her own in MOC/PF depending on the current bonus. Between her freezes and aggro buff on herself, she can draw a lot of enemy fire without needing to skill *every* turn. The follow-ups also count as separate hits for various bonuses like the current MOC one

I agree with most. I honestly don't know how I'd do a hsr tier list, everyone keeps getting better and better, I feel the top tiers would get diluted. One thing I'd say though is that I would swap blade and jing yuan around. I find blade to be more comfy and stronger than jing yuan, as jing yuans damage can get wasted alot if you're not fighting a mob of enemies. Also on the topic of dps, i think you should include some in tip tier. Makes it clear which dps is most valued at the moment, as we all know dps can get powercrept easily

Misha's functionality, for me, is his freeze. I don't have good tanks, so I have used him to help with safer 'Starcrusher Swarm King' farm and the 3x 'Lordy Trashcan' encounter. (Also mine has 2,7K ATK 54%/152% Crit R/D. Hits better than my current poor Acheron :D) But yee, I want to like him, but he isn't spectacular. Tho he has been more useful that Xueyi, someone who I also tried to make work. (Tho, reading comments, maybe my boi is more goated than I thought, I will need to experiment with Harmony TB more) Thanks for telling about how tough Acheron is to pull off, I have been slowly building her after half-accidentally pulling her. Maybe I will just stick to my E0 Kafka and E1 BlackSwan till the universe's heat-death, it is just getting bit samey using same team (if only I had managed to get Aventurine for my Topaz. . .)

I think another benefit of march for follow up focus pure fiction is the sheer number if follow up atks she can perform triggering special pure fiction buffa

Was looking for guides and found this video, any good guide videos for a new player? or any tips?

silverwolf is lierally the kazuha of this game

aventurine has a debuff, his ult increase crit dmg enemy take for 3 turns. ruan mei might just a bit lower than other 3 since she needs break effect or efficiency which is a bit rarer and only harmony lc thats give break is her sig. mid players would be like omg she buffs the most but that depends more on her build, still op asf. should i go topaz e1 or s1 or jade or kafka? i have the ipc team and swan. i want to get ruan mei and huohuo too

They sure did release a lot of characters in a single year.

I built up Misha just because I lack any ice-oriented damage dealers (i.e Jingliu) and he's... yeah pretty much okay. Having an ult that can potentially hit the same target up to 10 times and focusing on crit damage with freeze has a lot of potential, but it's bounce-range, so anything with more than one enemy will inheritly be a gamble.

If I remember correctly, hook ultimate only cost like 90 energy in the beta, so she could spam her ult like there is no tomorrow, but since she got nerfed like Arlan, so yea…

Things I liked about this tierlist: The ranking criteria is pretty good and I also can agree with most of the ranking except few of them. Things I find wrong: Silverwolf ranking at niche don't make any sense she is literally what you can call can be usable in every team after release of acheron and HMC her value is at all time higher. Xueyi: She is not average she is a pretty good niche character very strong against quantum weak enemy and now after HMC release I can also put her at excellent if you have her e6. Blade: I personally experienced it that blade does more damage than jingyuan in most of the scenarios so putting blade at descent does not make sense to me. You should put both of them at excellent or both of them at descent tier.

Thinking of doing a Genshin tier list anytime soon? (Eula mains cannot wait)

This definitely was made before the Super Break meta.
