Which Elemental Skill Is The Best? | Genshin Impact

As many others have said, I think albedo should be A tier and ganyu should be lower. Albedo's skill can do upwards of 20k geo dmg every few seconds without too much investment over the course of up to 30 seconds with a 3 (i think) second cooldown. Plus you can use the elevator for exploration purposes as well as a place to shoot from without getting hit (in some situations)

A lot of these skills should be higher like Albedo's which is literally his whole being of purpose. Diona has a strong ass shield as well and Itto's E which is a really big chunk of his damage because he can do it twice per burst

9:51 Ayato can move with attacks during his skill 18:48 one of heizou’s passive allows you to cause a stack, whenever he causes a swirl reacton, which can happen every 0.1 or 0.2 seconds

I feel like you’re very undervaluing how good Eula’s skill is. Not many DPS characters have the ability to Debuff enemies with their skills, and it almost acts like a mini burst with Ascension Talents. Yes her energy isn’t a problem but her Normal Attack DPS isn’t bad by any means, so stacking her own Debuff on top of Superconduct makes her a powerhouse

you're wrong about ayato - his skill has a bigger AoE than many people know and it's not stationary, when you move it targets the enemies around you in a pretty big aoe, I've never experienced moving enemies to be a problem with him at all. That also makes him an excellent taser driver and dps About albedo i believe you rated him too low, his skill is really strong, has a huge aoe and really shines with 4 pc husk, Gorou and cinnabar spindle

Kokomi's E is probably top, it provides the AOE hydro application that makes her so good in freeze, the healing is some of the best, and no ICD

I would honestly switch Albedo and Ganyu's positioning itto should also be higher since his E is basically a mini version of Zhongli Q. Heizou should also be higher, the stacks are automatically generated when he swirls and he swirls pretty fast with his CA

If you put Gorou on A because he buff geo team, then Shenhe also should be put at A because she massively buff cryo dmg output

Heizou’s skill is pretty much never charged. You get one stack by default from constellation and other stacks through swirls (NA+CA is two swirls so you get to full stacks easily, you can for example NA+CA+burst). Then it deals 50-100k dmg and swirls as a bonus. It’s like Itto’s Ushi that doesn’t need to use burst to be Effective but does require a bit of fieldtime

Lots of misinformation here like others have commented, but a lot of valuations are kind of weird, too. Eula's hold skill on it own does more damage than many characters' bursts, but it's rated low for some reason. At level 10 it does 788% cryo and 363% physical damage in a decent area, as well as shredding physical and cryo res.

Ayato slowly moves towards the enemies he is targeting while using his skill and his skill has a surprisingly large AOE. You don't usually have to worry about enemies being too far away most of the time. I think it deserves a bump to at least the top of A Tier if not the bottom of S tier.

You didn't read Heizou's whole kit and it shows. He gets one stack per swirl reaction with his first passive and you can swap him out and he will still conserve the stacks. With C1 just getting him out grants 1 stack... All in all, getting the 4 stacks without ever holding E is just the normal. And if you do it right, its basically a 50-60k hit every 10 seconds. Nothing to laugh about. In my opinion is even better than Ayaka's skill, so top of A tier seems like a better fit in my opinion

Considering that most characters E is just a mean to generate energy particle like benneth, Thoma with nothing note worthy about it, I wonder how they should be rated since even though their E is just 'ok' it serves its purpose well. I believe 50-60% of characters comes under this category.

i think these kinds of videos would benefit from Vars researching in depth for characters he doesn't play regularly. maybe visit the subreddit for each character mains and talk to the users there, look up guides and build showcases or maybe just call up a friend who has a character Vars doesn't build in a fairly competent usage state and talk to them more. maybe using sources of videos or showing the description of the skill/burst can help? maybe there wouldn't be so much people unsatisfied with these kinds of videos then.

I think there are several skill you heavily underrated. Albedo's skill is atleast A tier since its high dmg and is off field without any energy issues. Yae's skill after introduction of Aggravate is also very strong dmg source again without any energy issues and being off field again deserves atleast A tier(not S since its somewhat clunky due to no ) Whereas Ganyu's skill you ranked so high is literally bottom of B tier since its dogshit and ranking it so high just for Taunt ability when it doesn't even has good scaling.(Itto's Ushi , Heizou E , Jean E etc all have more scaling and Utility than it) Diona E is also A tier since its a great battery and provides a strong shield and also increased movement speed. Kuki's skill after Hyperbloom introduction is like single best skill to procc Hyperbloom which deserves atleast high B tier.

I was surprised albedos E was that low, since it's basically the main reason he works so well. One downside I could see is that it requires you to do damage in order to proc it, meaning it becomes kinda useless against shielded enemies but the damage it does deal more than makes up for it. I'd also argue that the fact that it's Geo damage is also a benefit since it won't really interfere with other reactions. It's also got amazing up time which means you'll not only always have it on field but due the insanely low cd you can easily reposition it. Albedo is kinda just a character you slot in for extra off field damage anyway and the damage it does deal is really impressive (~30k per hit if you build him well). I don't think it should be like S tier but definitely high A.

I believe that kuki shinbu skill is very good ,It heals ,apply electro, follows the active character has no down time, and has a nice aoe .it's super useful and she never left my team since I got her 💜💜

Albedo’s skill being a B tier is not what I expected. It’s periodic geo damange (mind you, AoE damange unlike Fischl or Yae) every 2 seconds. It is locked in a specific area but that area is almost as large as that of Ganyu’s burst and you can easily reposition it because of its super short cd. It has 100% uptime, the damange is pretty good and easy to increase (since def rolls on artifacts are more common than atk rolls) and doesn’t interfere with your reactions since it’s geo dmg. Good for exploration too although not as reliable as Kazuha’s or Venti’s skill since it’s slower and doesnt work if there is anything above you. The only downside is that it’s a geo construct, meaning it can be destroyed and replacing it constantly can mess up your rotation, especially for a dps that needs to stay on field (Hu Tao of Itto for example), but that can be somewhat dealt with by placing it a bit further from the enemy

Great video. But there are a lot of information that you got wrong Ayato can move during his elemental skill state. Rosaria only generate particles on her 2nd hit. So there's no half amount of energy if only the first hit connects. Qiqi skill can heal the active character over time, and when she's the active character while the skill is active, performing normal attacks allow it to heal the party. So technically it still provides massive healing even without the help of the passive.

Not to be really rude or aggresive but a lot of the information about some of these skills is incorrect. Like Ayato’s skill does not really scale for his HP or force him to remain in place. Yomiya doesn’t get any bonus attack from her skill conversion. And as much as I hate Qiqi her skill should actually be in C tier if you are going to rate Barbara’s skill that high. She has 4 ways of consistent healing effects 2 of which are based on her skill. Passive dot healing to you active character based on her attack and party wide healing if Qiqi is on field normal attacking none of which are based on a passive skill. Nothing super crazy just little things that kind of throw off the information.

Vars: _Babe it's time for your weekly Genshin Debate_ Community: _Yes dear_

Putting Yae Miko's skill, which defines her whole character, her signature weapon, her artifact sets and her entire playstyle in the same tier as Razor really got a hearty chuckle outta me! Truly one of the funniest comedy channels out there

About Ayato, I do think you're wrong. I'm pretty sure you can move a decent distance from the cast location and go right back into Anime Slashing.

To be honest, this is one of the worst tierlists I have ever seen. Kokomi should be higher as her synergy with most of the teams is due to her high uptime in her E. Fischl drives so many characters due to her E alone, and nobody cares about her Q. Ayato and Yoimiya has a large amount of damage in their E. Ganyu and Ayaka should be lower as their E is not the most used, compared to their better parts of their kit such as their charged shot and E. They provide a lot of particles though, similar to how Bennet is. Yae's entire kit revolves around the use of her totems, and most damage potential and uptick of electro damage from this. She deserves at least A tier. Albedo's E is very versatile. If you considered Yelan's E for her versatility, why not consider Albedo as it also helps in terrain and provides sizable damage in an area. I think I'm disappointed at the least.

what he said abt ayato not movins is clearly showing me that he has never played him ayato will move foward towards enemies in his skill so that the slashes can hit him

Now im wondering when this video was recorded because Heizou's skill seems really low. His first passive allows him to charge his stacks by doing swirl reactions so if you have someone like XQ or Raiden, you can get them pretty easily. when crowned with C6, his E deals 1208.7% damage with full stacks plus, he gets 16% CR and 32% CD with max stacks which makes it more consistent and more capable of even more damage. His seconds passive also allows him to support his party by giving 80EM after his E hits

I usually respect your opinions and don't think you miss much, but your take on Albedo and Yae Miko's elemental skills has me suddenly questioning if you actually understand the subdps role at all. These are both easily A if not S tier skills with substantial DPS from off field

Edit: there is no fucking way, Ganyu skill is on top of A tier when there are: Albedo and Fischl under it. Even i think Ushi is better, he can deal bigger dmg than Zhongli meteor Diluc maybe a B or low A tier, but his skill got to be an A to S tier. reason? it has no ICD, can chain 3 times, short cooldown, even if you switch the chain didn't reset, and good enough scaling to back it up.

Qiqi's Skill is the easiest S Tier Reason: 50% downtime with a 30 second cool down, what more can you ask for

I feel like you make these videos with minimal thought… yae’s e does more than just periodical damage, her whole idea is mobility. She can easily move towards and away from enemies while setting up a constant source of damage. Albedo’s e easily does 20k damage every 2 seconds and doesnt interrupt any reactions. Ganyu’s skill is the most useless part of her kit since it doesnt work on bosses that have attacks with huge range, and you can easily keep a distance from smaller mobs. Itto’s e is a decoy and a nuke during burst so why isnt he in the same tier as ganyu? Childe’s e is only good for xiangling and yelan’s is only superior when it comes to exploration. It just all seems biased

What you said about Ayato is wrong, he can move and continue his attack there, and he also automatically moves slightly towards enemies with each slash if they're too far away, which is very convenient. In addition, he's one of the few melee characters who has enough reach/aoe to hit flying enemies, enemies on pillars or even enemies inside venti's burst with no problem. It's why I think his E is definitely on par with Hu Tao and Yoimiya and should be in S tier.

Heizou gets stacks just by playing (swirling to be precise) so you don't need to stand and wait.

If Shenhe's skill isn't in A tier because it only applies to cryo damage, then why is Gorou in A tier?

😬😬😬😬 Ayato's skill is not stationary, Venti's skill has a tap mode which has a shorter cast time which is mostly used in combat while the one you mentioned in the video is the hold version which is mostly used for exploration. It's also quite interesting that you put a character's skill in a tier for damage yet put albedo in a lower tier yet his skill does a huge damage and is consistent. While i think qiqi's kit is not well designed what you said in the video is kinda off, Qiqi's skill does not require a talisman to heal, it passively heals the on field character. I love your videos but this might be your worst genshin video yet as it shows how little knowledge you actually have of some of the characters.

Skills that can be used for combat and overworld deserves to be an S tier like Kazuha and Zhongli's. Not sure if it's counted but Tighnari's charged attack can track chests close by.

9:39 Ayato moves forward and follows his target when he's in E stance

Don’t forget that ayaka’s skill grants her 30% more dmg for normal/charged attacks.

23:30 don't forget that when Qiqi's E is active she heals on normal attacks which is actually quite good since Qiqi's normal attacks are fast as hell and my Qiqi heals around 1k health with each hit so i think it should be at least a little bit higher, i know it's still pretty trash either way but it deserves some more credit

excuse me? qiqi's E, on it's own, DOES heal the active character. the passive is a different thing. sheesh.

just a quick note: heizou has a passive where he gets a stack for every swirl he does so you can easily have a full stack without much worry so i believe heizous should be higher

There is so many wrong things with this tierlist tf... how does one make a tier list about elemental skills and not know that Heizou gets declension stacks with swirls, it's literally his first passive Why does Yae get B tier treatment but Fischl goes straight to A tier when they are literally the same ability except for the fact that yae's does more damage and has a larger range Albedo's entire kit is his E... how tf do you put that in B tier Lisa i can kind of get behind but even then if you are rating her at c6, when she enters the field, the whole area around her gets affected with 3 stacks for her elemental skill to just be casted on the spot Why is xiao's E in A tier? it deals ok damage for an elemental skill but barely creates energy particles for him even with 2 uses Eula's skill shreds physical and cryo resistances, makes her tankier, adds a lot of stacks to her burst and deals massive phyisical damage all on a low cooldown... and she's in B tier?

I feel like if Tartag makes it into S then so should Ayato. As someone who has both of them, Ayato just has less aoe damage due to not having riptide, while Childe lacks the consistency that Ayato has. (Also I’ve never encountered this problem with fast moving targets as the slash hits such a big aoe and auto aims on each attack it’s pretty impossible to miss his attacks)

I love watching your videos, but some of this is inaccurate. Here are the adjustments I would make: Shenhe's skill should be in A tier. It boosts cryo dmg MASSIVELY and her passive allows her skill to boost ALL elemental skills, bursts, and normal/charged/plunging attacks regardless of element. Ayato's skill naturally repositions itself when enemies move. In terms of buffing himself, definitely S tier. Eula's skill literally debuffs enemies and can be a mini nuke. That's a ton of value. Definitely at least A tier. Heizou's skill is A tier for me. He can gain stacks from swirling and these are usually obtained effortlessly. Then you just tap his skill to get CRAZY high damage. If you decide to hold it for the stacks and get interrupted, it actually retains the stacks so you can simply finish charging when the enemies stop attacking. His c6 gives his skill extra crit rate and dmg based on how many stacks he has, and he automatically gains one stack after taking the field at C1. Yae Miko's entire kit is based around her skill. It's a little clunky to use, but the damage scaling is very high and it can have 100% uptime. It doesn't attack every 2-3 seconds, more like every second. Definitely A tier. I would move Yanfei's to B tier. In terms of the value it provides to her own kit and damage, it has relatively good scaling and a low cooldown, so those free charged attacks actually help a lot. Since Dendro's release, Kuki's skill gained a ton of value. Definitely A tier now because of its electro application in hyperbloom teams, but I know this was made last month.

Kuki's skill is great, even before Hyperbloom made it amazing. Consistent, mobile, electro application and healing with perfect/near perfect uptime. Way better than Barbara's at least.

I’m surprised you didn’t take into account Venti’s tap E which hits like a truck for no reason and gives a good amount of energy

Ayato main here. Correction: Ayato's skill doesn't lock him in the same location. You can kill one enemy with 2 slashes, and run to the other corner of the domain and kill a couple more with 2 more slashes, as long as it's done within 6 seconds. All his skill does is change his normal/ charge attacks into Shunsuiken slashes for 6 seconds. The only thing he can't do for the 6 seconds of the skill duration is plunge attack. The slashes also have deceptively large AOE.

ayato can move, and auto tracks enemies while attacking, if enemies are too far he also does a little dash towards them

Who the hell is telling you to use Heizou that way? With constellations (which this video assumes), Heizou's E has 1-shot potential. And, nobody should be using it to just swirl. That's extremely misinformed. I haven't seen a single rotation involving a non-fully-charged E.

Ayato deserve to be S tier mainly because he doesn't spend a single stamina, good AOE, can work well with Yunjin. I don't see how he is A tier.

10:05 This analysis just made me realize that Geo's very rigid and niche team composition actually aligns really well with the characteristics of the Geo element. Incredibly strong and unyielding when played right; but unreactive and inflexible - you have to build very specific teams for these characters to shine. The characters do not cooperate or synergize easily with other teams and characters.

I feel like you didn't take Venti's press E into account at all. That's the version most people use in combat anyway and it doesn't have any lag. Almost instantly fills his burst gauge up too. Maybe not enough for A tier, but I really feel it needs to be mentioned, because right now your commentary is all about the lag of the hold version.

You are wrong about ayato, you can move from enemy to enemy using his E, his hitbox being large helps in hitting alot of enemies too

Ayato's skill can slash in different direction if you rotate your camera. I discovered it today as he was a trial character in the current event. I stood still and when the enemies died and new enemies spawned behind him, I turned the camera and he automatically targeted them. I might be wrong tho about the camera but still... he can

9:38 Ayato main here, do you mean you think Ayato can't move around with the skill active? He can, he can walk and run normally while the skill is active, and if you're holding a direction while having him attack he'll move slightly in that direction. He's not super mobile, but he's not locked in place.

The comments section really ain't letting this shit slide😭

Ushi should be way higher. Why? You put Ganyu's in A. Also, check out the damage Ushi does. More than some 5 stars burst.

Dude, I love your content but you gotta be trolling Albedo

you said noelle only shields and heals however with c4 it also does significant damage on explosion and some on cast which is why i think it should be minimum B

Albedo is too low, his skill is the reason double geo is even a thing.

What completely breaks Aloy's skill imo is the ICD of the stacks that the bomblets create. Aloy isn't all that strong to begin with, but limiting stack generation so that you can't trigger multiple at the same time e. g. with an Anemo unit just makes it absolutely impractical for getting her Cryo infusion going.

Correction: Shenhe's E-skill works for every damage, regardless of cryo, pyro and even physical through her a4 passive.

Miko = B? nonsense

Zhongli HAS to be in the S tier

To the honest Albedo's E is basically 90% of his kit and it is really freaking good considering how long it lasts. Plus the elevator has some overworld uses. Itto does a lot of damage, just like Ayaka's. Kuki and Yae deserve a higher spot especially since dendro got released but I understand this video was made well before that part so meh.

I think most people would agree that Fischl, Yae, and Kokomi all have better elemental skills than Ganyu. Useful as the taunt is, it's really no better than Mona's, while C6 Fischl and Kokomi are definitely S tier in their E-skills due to Amy's C6 and Kokomi's brokenly overpowered healing that lets you face tank as if you had Zhongli on your team. As long as you don't get one-shotted, Kokomi's squid healing provides a lot more health than Zhongli's shield, lacking only in its lack of super armor. I don't have Yae but she's at least A tier, if not S, simply due to the high damage scaling of an off-field damage source and random electro application to circumvent ICD for swirl teams. Powerful off-field damage sources and elemental appliers are significantly better than single-hit on elemental skills like most of B tier. Also, Shinobu's elemental skill has definitely improved in its ranking since you recorded this. It's got pretty good healing for an E-skill, and she's currently one of the best support healers for aggravate Keqing or aggravate Yae, and will likely remain so until a dendro healer is released. And dendro really did improve the viability of all electro damage sources.

The only one that I really disagree is probably Bennet. Anyone who knows a little bit of theorycrafting knows that Bennet's tap E applies TWO units of pyro instead of one.... that coupled with it's extremely short cooldown makes it one of the MOST efficient abilities to shred elemental shields on abyss mages / lectors. It's borderline overpowered. Definitely an S tier ability. Agree with everything else though.

Anemo Traveller's skill is actually pretty decent, can help group together enemies, self heals a good amount, and generates tons of particles

🌸😹I must concur with your assessment of the potency of Zhongli’s shield! Certainly it has made me far worse mechanically at Genshin than I was previously to acquiring his star and utilizing it solely upon mono Geo. It is so I almost feel naked without Zhongli except for when I am utilizing Kokomi setups😹🌸

Thats some Albedo slander there ain't no way he is in the same tier as Guoba, or kaeya

Ayato, Albedo, and Itto were robbed! Ayato's skill is S-tier 100% and how is ganyu's skill more valuable than Albedo and Itto's? I also think Kuki's, Yae's, and Fischl's can be A or even S tier.

The fact that this dude rated ganyus useless ass skill as A tier and said NOTHING about ventis battery and grouping skill besides that it was “clunky” invalidates the entire list. Lmao

Back when I was maining anemo Traveler I loved her skill. So fun! My only issue is if the enemy dies while you're holding it you don't get the energy particles. But I would definitely move that up a tier.

i see a lot of wrongs in this tierlist so i will just put my modifications i will take Yelan's ,and raiden's skills to A tier yelan's skill does a lot of damage and offers mobility but that's it nothing really game breaking, while raiden skill is jack of all traits but master of none, it's not really your best choice still really good, Childe's E goes straight to B tier, for one reason and it is the cooldown thingy fischl, Sara, albedo should be in S tier amazing off field damage and battery from fischl and albedo, and sara's E is a better version of bennet's E i'd say it gives you the big buff as well as a potential to be a decent battery. ganyu, xiao go to B tier, ganyu's taunt is not that useful when fighting bigger enemies, while xiao's E only does damage beidou should be in A tier just because it's the coolest skill in the game also venti's skill should be also in A tier since you didn't consider the tap version which is the best version diona also should be in A tier same as raiden it does everything but doesn't expel at anything it's a beefy long lasting shield that is also an amazing battery and good for breaking enemies shields Diluc should be promoted, from meta prespective i think everyone knows that he's pretty weak, but when you consider his skill alone it's pretty amazing if not for his outdated kit, i'd argue that if he was made these days with the same kit with minor changes, he'd be pretty broken and fun to use baron bunny isn't as bad as you think, it is a taunt but also one of the best pyro batteries and since you consider C6 you can throw two of them gorou and shenhe they practically do the same thing i'd argue that shenhe provides more so they should at least be in the same tier Finally kuki's skill with the release of dendro became so better so i guess you might need to look at her again phew that was long, discussion is always fun thought

vars this tier list is LEGIT so bad objectively speaking😭

@Vars ll you should update your “Why no one plays Kokomi” because its not the case anymore.

Good work vars love your videos!

C6 Lisa should be at least be B-Tier just for how much damage she does. I'll gladly charge 2 seconds for an upwards of 65k nuke without prior setup. The only problem is that it olny gets good at C6 but at that point it outscales a lot of the soley damaging skills of B-Tier, looking at you Diluc

I believe Geo Travaler skill is one of the most broken skill in the game because it ability to be place almost anywhere allows to climb any terrain. If you watch the youtube channel Moosashi you will see what I mean.

Now we just need a "Best Normal Attack" tierlist, but not based off damage, based on the animations I think that'd be an interesting video at least, and It'd be a complete set with these other two videos

Good video i like these type of videos they’re fun and discuss some stuff like design

Nice, simple and entertaining video! About Heizou, the charging of his skill is more of a supplementary feature. The main way he charges his E stacks is by swirling other elements, and say your off field supports run out at 3/4 stacks - you can charge to reach the full 4 stacks

idk probably kazuha, raiden, albedo Personal favorites are violet arc and lingering lifeline!!! Edit after premiere: • Albedo in B tier??? 🤯💀🙄😳😰😱🤧😕🤬😫😓👁️👄👁️ • Ganyu's skill in A tier is way too high lol... might as well put mona and amber in there as well. • Kuki Shinobu's skill is actually really good now with dendro's release. • I would say Tighnari's skill is B tier • Dori's skill would be in B or C tier • Collei's skill would be in B or C tier

Easy: The One That Has the Best Looking Symbol

Though my personal rankings may differ here and there, I thoroughly enjoy and understand your placements and reasonings behind them!

Your backround music in the videos is always on par! Xenoblade II! 😄😍

I disagree with a few placings in this list. UP: > Albedo's E is A tier, its his whole kit, the ulti does nothing. > Yae Miko's E is also A tier, it's most of her damage. > Diona's E is A tier, it's a great shield but still weaker then Zhongli. > Shinobu's E is at least B, but i will give it a pass because it looks like you made this before dendro got released. Down: > Ganyu's E goes down to B, it's just a taunt. it is literally the same as mona's. > Gorou's E goes down to B, niche buff skill just like Shenhe and Sara, it should be at the same tier. > Xiangling's E goes down to C, Guoba's AI sucks, and it's a very small portion of xiangling's damage, and it takes forever to give you the particles.

i dont understand why would someone tap Heizos E, i use E then do some normal atacks and i have his 4 stacks before the cooldown ends

I think Yunjin's skill should be in the same tier as Beidou's. Yeah, there's less damage, especially with reactions, but the tradeoff is less requirements. You can insta charge if you get hit, but if you don't she takes a second to just max charge it anyway. Since it counts as a geo shield and you'll be giving her a bunch of def anyway, it's also a super tanky shield. Granted, you'd have to switch to her and hold her skill to get said shield, but you'll most likely get to still counter the attack

Kuki's consistent electro application that scales damage AND healing with EM should be at least B tier if not C tier. It was good even before dendro and now it's even better of course Diona's skill also could go a bit higher but ymmv. The main thing is that even at r1 sac bow will trigger the passive consistently specifically because her skill hits enemies three to FIVE times (tap vs hold), which makes her shield basically last twice longer than it would be. Yes, it's only achievable with the sac bow, but the synergy she has with that bow is insane and amazing. The shield itself is also really strong.

My opinions : Heizou = Lisa Hutao = yoimiya = childe = Ayato Mona = ganyu = Amber = xiangling = Kokomi Heizou and Lisa both have high scaling skills and having to stand still for a few seconds Hutao yoimiya childe and Ayato their skills do basically the same thing converting their attacks into their element Mona ganyu Amber xiangling Kokomi has a stationary taunt or damage Amber and Kokomi should be higher as ambers c2 lets you explode baron bunny doing 200% more damage and Kokomi can heal

you can move with Ayatos during is skill, and it have huge AOE.

I'm just here to say that I really enjoyed watching the video and hearing your opinions, at the end of the day a tier list video is based on opinions which is what makes it interesting. Thank you Vars for the fun content as always and I hope you don't let the critical comments affect you negatively!

I think both albedo and yae deserve A for their skill, I mean I woud debate both of them to be in S. And I think venti E is underrated, it does huge amount of damage if you build him as dps, stun enemies (idk how to describe it), great energy generation and you use hold in open world for exploration and press in combat, it really deserves A rank

would be nice if you learned what all the skills did before ranking them and how they work on the characters, other wise alright ranking :/

Ayato does not attack only one same location, he can change position as he pleases and stop the flurry of attacks if the enemies move

damn. usually i really agree with your videos mostly but i sadly gotta say that i see things different in this one. things i see would not put in the same ranking from A-D (S Tier is fine): A: Ayato, Yoimiya and Kokomi could definitely be put into S tier. kokomi because of the really good hydro application and for the other two you mentioned it yourself. especially ayato i don't see the "enemies could move" as enough of a drawback to justify not giving him S-Tier. That 'drawback' literally applies to almost anyone. B: Monas elemental skill barely does any damage. as someone who has triple crowned her, her elemental skill does almost nothing. the taunt isn't much more effective than baron bunny. it does apply hydro but it lasts so shortly and doesn't have too many ticks. i would put it in C-Tier. albedos skill is pretty vital i would at least put it into A-Tier. Physical Razor i also have tripple crowned, and his elemental skill literally does - for some reason, even with the scaling - no more damage or even less than a single auto attack for me. i used to think it is good because it is with low investment but now i would say it's literally either C-Tier only because he shreds resistance otherwise it would be D-Tier. Dillucs Elemental Skill is pretty good for him in my opinion. it's also a cool mechanic with the cancellation. you need to take into consideration that his swings are much faster if you alter between his e and normal attack also you get elemental reactions which is very important. I would give it an A-Tier. C-Tier: I would put chongyun into B-Tier. arguably. first of all it provides cryo infusion which is unique. secondly it does decent damage over an area. it's also decent for breaking shields. nothing outstanding but better than the rest in that group in my opinion. kuki. ok. sumeru is out now so you probably changed your opinion on her with the electro application so i probably don't need to spell it out, but i'd put her in B-Tier i think. D-Tier: dendro-traveler elemental skill is pretty decent damage-wise. but ok, dendro wasn't out at the video so yeah. but i'd bump her up to B-Tier (i mean it's not really much worse than e.g. bennett imho). qiqi: i know people will disagree with me here but i would *at least* give it a B-Tier. her other kit is pretty useless but the fact that with her elemental skill she can heal off-field is - in my opinion - her biggest advantage. also her skill just heals a lot. even without her passive. and if you don't consider passives for this tier-list then i would also put sucrose into A-Tier instead as she then 'only' provides grouping and an elemental application and not much damage.

Putting childe a tier higher than ayato is kinda uh- weird? Knowing well, they both do the same thing. Ayatos kit even makes sure you can just idle by holding down the attack button since he just inches towards the enemies and does actually have a good aoe.

You say this should of come out in December? How far in advance do you record these??

19:32 don’t forget the most important thing, this skill will constantly apply hydro to your character, which will cause enemy ice attacks to freeze you (for example, wolf of the north)
