Top Tier Domination
Neuvillette
This Hydro powerhouse has surged to the top, dethroning previous Hydro DPS options. He excels at dishing out damage with his Charged Attacks, which scale with HP, making him easy to build. His versatility shines in various team compositions, particularly Tazer comps, and his synergy with Furina is phenomenal. Neuvillette’s reign as the best Hydro DPS seems secure for the foreseeable future.
Lyney
While not surpassing Hu Tao, Lyney has surprised players with Pyro DPS potential rivaling hers. His straightforward kit focuses on raw Pyro damage through Attack scaling, making him ideal for mono-Pyro teams, but he can also function in Vaporize compositions. Lyney’s arrival has revitalized characters like Dehya, making them more viable in the current meta.
Furina
True to Archon form, Furina has completely reshaped the meta. Her true strength lies in her party-wide damage buff, which comes at the cost of HP. Scaling purely off HP and boasting the unique Ousia/Pneuma element, Furina opens up a plethora of new team possibilities. Her role as a damage amplifier makes her a highly coveted addition to any party.
Baizhu
Often overlooked, Baizhu’s value is rising with the arrival of new characters. The recent updates have revealed a surge in his usability and viability, particularly alongside Furina. With the Fontaine region still unfolding, Baizhu’s potential for even greater synergy with upcoming characters remains exciting.
This tier list provides a snapshot of the current power rankings in Genshin Impact. As the game evolves and new content arrives, the meta will undoubtedly continue to shift. Keep an eye out for future updates to stay ahead of the curve!
