genshin impact 4.0 tier list

Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into Genshin Impact 4.0, and like everyone else, I wanted to get a handle on the new characters and where everyone stands. So, I started to put together my own tier list. Let me walk you through what I did.

First Steps: Gathering Info

First things first, I jumped into the game. I mean, you gotta play to really know, right? I spent a good chunk of time trying out the new characters, Lyney and Lynette, and seeing how they felt in combat. I also made sure I was up-to-date on all the latest character updates and changes.

Then, I hit up the usual spots online – you know, community forums, discussion boards, and some of those Genshin content creator videos. I wanted to see what other players were saying, what their early impressions were, and if I was missing anything obvious.

Building the Framework

Next, I started organizing my thoughts. I decided to keep it pretty simple: I went with the classic S, A, B, C, D tier system. I figure, most people get that, and it’s easy to understand.

S-Tier: These are the characters I found to be totally busted, like, they just crush everything.
A-Tier: Really strong, reliable characters. You can’t go wrong with them.
B-Tier: These are solid, good in certain situations, but maybe not always the best choice.
C-Tier: They’re okay, they work, but you probably have better options.
D-Tier: Honestly, I usually find a use for everyone, but these are the ones I struggle to fit into a team.

Character Evaluations – The Nitty Gritty

This is where I spent the most time. I went through each character, one by one, and thought about a few key things:

How easy are they to use?
How much damage can they do?
Do they work well with other characters? (team synergy)
How versatile are they? Can they handle different types of enemies and situations?
What constellations did I have access to?

I played around with different team comps, tried out various artifact sets, and just generally experimented to see what worked and what didn’t. It was a lot of trial and error, let me tell you!

Putting It All Together

After all that testing and note-taking, I finally started placing characters into their tiers. It wasn’t always easy, and I definitely moved some characters around a few times as I got more familiar with them. Sometimes I’d think a character was “B-Tier” at first, but then after using them more, I’d realize they were actually “A-Tier” material.

It’s all feel,you know? There is not a absolutely right or wrong answer.

The Never-Ending Process

And that’s pretty much it! Of course, a tier list is never really finished. The meta changes, new characters come out, and I keep learning new things. So, it’s something I’m constantly updating and tweaking. I’ll probably revisit this in a few weeks and see if my opinions have changed. Always happy to discuss and get other perspectives, too!
