Genshin Enemy Tier List: What is the Worst Enemy?

[@Ratheil]

Okay I did forget one common Abyss enemy, Hydro Mimics. Mimics can probably go down in D. I'm not big on death rattles, particularly ones that are a giant nuke and the flying birds suck.

[@Good_luck_.]

How dare you

[@frenzii8332]

Touch on this, the ease of combat has nullified a lot of otherwise rewarding combat. The primus were a good example. We can revert world levels if it's too annoying but we desperately need world level 9 and 10.

[@ramsham8618]

Bro please make a video for world bosses also including weekly bosses 🙏

[@Runegrem]

If it weren't for the death rattle I'd like them a lot more. They're pretty satisfying to fight. But then they have to waste some extra time dying really slowly, which is just annoying in the Abyss. Similar to the Specters, but those don't have any redeeming qualities.

My biggest problem with Rifthounds is that they can apply their bleed status on you while you're stuck in your burst animation, which just seems really unfair when bursts are i-frames for everything else in the game.

The Thunder Manifestation can mark you and the Raiden and Scaramouche weekly bosses can still one shot you through burst i-frames too.

It's worth mentioning that the Fungi give different materials for different elements used to defeat them, which really takes them a couple tiers down for me.

[@ana.alliterative]

The mushroom spores drops making me use cryo and physical :(

[@annaairahala9462]

I thought this was an issue originally too, but there's so many in the overworld, they have generous drops, and you can still get normal drops even when scorched or activated it's just a lower chance, so I've found them to be one of the easier enemies to farm. To put it in perspective, there's about just as many fungi as there are slimes or hilichurls, but fungi are only in some areas of the map making them more grouped together while the others are spread everywhere. They even have better drop rates than hilichurls, similar to slimes, yet they're also used by fewer weapons/characters. Essentially you could exclusively use pyro and electro and they'd potentially still be easier to farm than hilichurl masks, which are often among the ones people have excess of tl;dr they sound a lot worse to farm than they actually are

[@GenshinYuppe]

@@annaairahala9462 as someone who has made a second and third account, people REALLY underestimate how HUNGRY you get for those masks and arrows at the start of the game. they're more precious drops than godly artifacts!

Fungi are not much of a problem for me nowadays. They’re pretty easy to kill, and they actually drop something more than the common fungal spore drops. Hilichurls are the real assholes.. I get 1-3 damaged masks from killing a whole camp almost all the time.

Fatui operatives are hella annoying in the overworld. You're trying to run past them to farm an artifact investigation spot or to get to a daily commission, and they spot you. The range that their aggro stays locked on is insanely far, and they relentlessly spam their attacks, often freezing you to pile on even more spam. It's like, GOMD FFS!

[@atomsk9000]

My enemy tier list would be very different from yours. I haven't thought of any ranking between them, but what I have to say is: - Immune enemies are fun. They force you out of your comfortable single-character or strictly meta team, and they do it really politely, if you encounter them in the overworld (e.g. you can watch them before the fight). They add diversity and make your gameplay less repetitive. - Enemies with weak spots are fun. Again, it adds diversity to your game: you are not obliged to hit the weak spot (except for the ruin hunter mofo), but you can do it and it is rewarded. Since archers generally have less DPS this is a good way to compensate while keeping things manageable with other types as well. - Hilichurls are fun. All of them. The way devs voiced them is simply marvelous, I raise my hat in respect. Great job. It gets to the point where I sneak up to them just to watch and listen, end even when I fight them I tend to slow down to spend more time than I need to. - Teleporting enemies are not fun. God I hate these electro abyss mages! They freakin know you get big hit when they teleport, like, INTO YOU. But the worst of all are the ruin serpents. The moment they start their long-ass teleport animation they are invincible, and they do it out of nowhere: you just launched your massive ult, but they don't even get one scratch because their animation started a frame earlier. I feel like you should still be able to hit them while they are over the ground, or devs should have make it visible when they are about to teleport, so you could at least try to stop your finger pressing that ulti. - Big fat enemies are no fun. Azhdaha is the massive example of that. Hell you could spend a freakin century to go around that foker. They also can push you away from your Bennett circle or geo crystal you wanted to pick up. - Spectres are no fun, when they become immune after death and move towards you and blow up in your face. Actually, the first example of that bullwrap was the big pyro slime, but these at least wasn't leaping at you after they are dead! - Nobushi's sword block mechanic is... stupid. I mean they just hold their sword downwards and... what? How does this block anything, especially fokin arrows? - New Fatui Frost Operative is annoying. They have like one line and they repeat it far too often. I see the same issue with the Treasure hoarders, but they usually don't live long enough for it to become too annoying to hear.

[@crocworks]

I had never seen the Fatui Pyro Agent's clone attack until I played the tcg and saw the burst there. Thought it was cool and decided to toy with a Pyro Agent in the overworld to see if I could see the actual attack and sure enough, it was there.

[@GenshinYuppe]

back at the start of the game, i thought monsters got cool expanded movesets in the abyss because of this and the electro circin's shield thing. i only ever got to see those in the abyss so that was a reasonable assumption

11:09 The pain of these guys rolling around as you watch your timer tick down in the abyss was a painful experience.

[@anyanP]

The main three issues with constipated beasts are: a) stagger, fighting enemies that stagger you to death is NOT FUN b) hitboxes, their clunky big hitboxes that you can get stuck on when the fucker is dead already 0/10 c) refuses to group; they are too heavy to be grouped by anemo’s CC abilities, but their AI also makes them almost impossible to group and keep grouped by manipulating it. Also, several enemies that deserve a special mention on WHY ARE YOU THIS ANNOYING list: - pyro gunners, no one likes you jumping around and ungrouping you little shit - melee heralds, screw them and them dashing around and ungrouping and being annoying af - rifthounds, the big ones - WHY ARE YOU JUST HOVERING THERE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - the construction mecs, the anemo rollers have a bad case of ungroupable enemies with zoomies, big crane is annoying af with his spinning attack and just rolling past you 0/10 - kairagi. Just why. Why do you have to be so goddamn annoying, hard to group and have health retrival mechanic STOP BEING CRINGE - abyss mages WITH THORNS, I’m sorry but why do you HAVE TO apply element to me when I hit you???? - ruin crabs, shields are not fun

[@grecha7656]

Mirror maidens would be way less annoying if their health bar was the same size as other elite enemies. The amount of times i was trying to kill a mirror maiden with a single pixel of hp with normals to save my cooldowns for the next wave/chamber only to waste like 10 seconds and restart is insane

[@abcdexe]

A cool thing I noticed, but it would require Sumeru's enemis to be counted as 1 whole, is all the animals you encounter(Vulture, crocodile, serpent, scorpion and tiger) all appear as an elite consecrated beast or summoned by the elite eremites as mechanical versions, it's nice how consistent they kept the wild life ^^

The consecrated beasts are only annoying because at certain moments, the game forcibly zooms in closer to your character while forcing a perspective and you can no longer tell what the beast not directly in front of your character is going to do next, then your squishy character gets OHKd.

Do abyss version tier list next? From easiest to hardest. I only started in 3.4, so it would be fun to see how abyss change over the years.

[@edwindza]

I can smell 3.7 as #1 lol

[@GenshinYuppe]

first abyss 12 was the hardest ever. imagine everyone having weak characters, incomplete rosters, almost no choice in teams. Now add to that the fact that the abyss had a curse that made you not regenerate stamina (same as the mondstadt talent domain). plus, it was against fatuis, which are bonkers together when you're not strong, AND really difficult to deal with without stamina. first abyss easily takes the crown as the hardest ever and everyone who disagrees is wrong.

[@yoisakikanade_]

[@colorlessguard]

i think the consecrated beasts are well-designed enemies! fighting one-on-one with them has the perfect level of difficulty i like in an enemy mob… but i definitely think they just get a bad wrap bc most of us were first introduced to them in the abyss where we didn’t know their attack patterns yet so getting slapped around and perma-stunned was pretty frustrating lol 😭 plus their hp pools were way higher in abyss which made killing them take more time especially in cases where there were two waves

[@sergeanthuman]

[@crazypuppet919]

I hate consacrated beasts only in Abyss variant. Firstly there are two of them. Idc how well telegraphed they attacks are, they still fast and heavy. And it's hard to look at two quick but well telegraphed enemies. Add to that their elemental reaction, agility of each of them, and need to monitor spawn of that seed or whatever that stans them. And secondly, Genshin love to make normal enemies stronger in the Abyss. Not only Abyss beast are tankier and do more damage, They also simply BIGGER, so it's harder to monitor both of them, and also they have increased stagger. In overworld I can stagger consacrated beasts quite regularly, but Beasts in abyss were like immune to it or smth. But yeah. In overworld I love this things. They are like litteral minibosses, I think it's cool

[@poklours4257]

So.. what is a good enemy? Must be difficult but not annoying to fight, must have cool attacks but not move too much, but be elemental but have no immunities, must be interesting to fight alone, but also to fight in pairs, must hit hard but never stop you from hitting them.. I've thought about it countless times, and I can never understand what is a good enemy that it not a boring enemy.

[@tillfouchard37]

OK don't get me wrong Consacrated Beasts are INSANE looking enemies, i love them and i would genuenly accept 2 more like a Cryo and a Geo one like idk... a Geo Turtle like you find in the last desert area and maybe.. a Cry Manta Ray ?! But too fight against them is a PAIN a real pain... like god i have flashbacks of thoses abyss floors with the Scorpion and the Vultur because thoses 2 are for me the strongest. Anyway great vidéo !

[@yueyueqinn]

I feel like the worst part about them is random attack patterns Like have you ever tried to properly group the crocodile in abyss? They might be well designed, but these random attacks that make them go to the other part of the arena is the worst thing I’ve seen in this game

[@Vania1669]

Also my character randomly starts ascending sometimes against the crocodile, i swear this thing wasnt tested in the slightest. I specifically trained myself to avoid attacking the sides of it

[@annaairahala9462]

I love them! I think people just didn't learn their attacks before fighting multiple in abyss. They have very clear telegraphed attacks making them both fun and easy to dodge even when there are multiple. The fact that someone thinks their attack patterns are random just two comments up I think is a testament to this

[@frostythesnowmanlol]

I personally absolutely love the Fatui. They're my favorite common enemies, favorite bosses, favorite local legends, favorite characters, just in general my favorite everything.

[@phoenixlau]

@@nk30020 Raw HP is not a very good metric to compare difficulty. For instance, in your example consecrated beasts get put into vulnerable mode when you break their juicy fruit, making them take more damage than normal. Whereas other bosses might have lower HP but have lots of time wasting mechanics like disappearing to Narnia half the time. Discrete damage phases (PMA), ability to be grouped (Triple Kenki), element check for shields (Baptist), etc. These all play a part in the larger story.

I think one thing this list highlights is how ranged units are generally considered kind of subpar. Many units lose points for things like flying, for not closing on the player, and such, which are all not issues when you're playing a ranged character type. Especially when you're using the likes of Nahida (damage at range to multiple spread out enemies, even), Yae, Furina, and such. Anyway, personally, I'd rate the fungi 1 category lower for one simpler reason: the dual item type drops based on the type of damage you deal to them. Consecrated beasts are not that bad. Just most people focus on offense, offense, offense, and, well, they punish for that. But if you have a team that can take a hit and has good poise, they're easy.

Personally I would rank the Eremites in S tier but not for combat reasons just overworld reasons. Most enemies just waddle around in the overworld, waiting for you to fight them but Eremites have fun idles, they play cards, dance and play some music. First time I encountered a group of them, I thought they were friendly since they just sat playing music with one of them dancing, then they got hostile and break their guitars. And if you told me that the Pokemon masters were rejected playables designs, I would believe you and ask why. I agree about the Consecrated Beasts, but only in the overworld as they are my most hated enemy in the abyss. Not having them in abyss is always a good sign.

[@jajathenewking6131]

Yeah actually the concentrated beast aren't bad on their own but no they always come in pairs. S by themselves F in pairs.

[@whydidtheychangemyname]

I feel like most people's negative feelings towards the consecrated beasts is because of their time in the Spiral Abyss. On the overworld, they're fine enemies, and I like that they actually last longer than 1.2 seconds against me. But when they were put in pairs on floor 12-3? Level 100 with like 3 million health per beast? I honestly didn't even have the patience to complete the abyss for the entire time they were in it. I probably could have gotten on the struggle bus and grinded until I got my 36 stars, but I couldn't be bothered. I already don't like the way that the abyss' lower floors do difficulty; waves of enemies that are spaced far apart and extremely inflated health pools turn it into an unfun slog.

the only downside of fungi in the overworld is how their drops are affected by pyro and electro. So yes they aren't immune but u still can't use pyro or electro if u actually want good drops. Other than that, having them in the abyss is great

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

Lol at that Aether sarcastically clapping at your mess up XD

[@jarrenraves]

WTF, I have NEVER seen that pyro agent attack in close to 2 years of playing this game! that said; good list I reckon. I mostly agree (even with the consecrated beasts!) My only two caveats are: The kairagi revenge mechanic is a neat idea but can easily feel really cringe in practise. Secondly, the fatui skirmishers shields should just dissapear after like x seconds. I have ptsd from overworld quests suddenly dropping a variety of them on me when I dont have the correct counter element and the game wont let me swap. Sure you could brute force your way through their dmg reduction, but thats speaking like an endgame player. Doing that at low AR with whatever random mishmash of characters you happened to have picked up was a souldestroying experience I still remember even now...

[@zeckrincuff3159]

I only noticed the fatui agent attack when I first tried to solo the Viridescent domain out of boredom. Got really close until all those damn shadow clones came out lol

[@aayanchiron9770]

The bird consecrated beast is the most terrifying

[@naungyoe3215]

A lot of genshin enemies are fun to fight, but the problem is you don't interact with any of that most of the time. Just tank and kill them ASAP.

[@superqaxclub]

Geovishap hatchling did appear in spiral abyss, I remember struggling with them as they are tanking, hit very hard and geo debuff that spawn rock wave that even Zhongli cant tank all

[@nightwingdark8785]

I do hate the fact that corrosion affects your entire party instead of the active character, other from that wolves are cool

[@connerjessop8422]

You did the Erimites with Pokémon dirty my dude.

[@sageofsixpaths8392]

Thats literally the first time i saw that fatui pryo agent move. It could honestly be a characters ultimate

[@shemage5932]

Consecrated beasts feel like bigger Horizon Zero Dawn machines being put in Genshin, but without the ability to deal with them like you would deal with a HZD machine.

[@Beepers559]

To be honest I actually kinda like the consecrated beasts off of design alone, the scorpion being my favorite due to having a bias for creepy crawlies

[@ayatomisubi5156]

those beast at the end are literally the best enemy they have a good difficulty setting actually challenges us and is not just standing still and barely hurt us NO they are actually hard af and i love it i just wish we got more enemies similar to them so i had reasons to give a fuck about building my characters further

[@LanceJade]

I sometimes feel bad about killing Hillichurls. Sometimes.

[@Justin-p8b]

Yea sometimes they just chilling

[@LanceJade]

@@Justin-p8b I know right? They're just dancing on taking a nap then I have come in and unalive them. Other times I just sneeze and they're like "Oh it's on!"

[@antihmota4625]

Slimes not being S tier is CRIMINAL

[@lunasquib]

15:04 Righr, dodge by running and screaming

[@stellar.butterfly]

the only problem with consecrated beasts is if they're put in pairs, it does not do a good job of portraying one's dodging abilities. there is a cooldown on how often you can dodge- and if one of them threatens an attack right after the other one has finished its attack sequence, the cooldown mechanic has a possibility of acting up and their deadly attack ends up hitting you. so there is a bit of rng involved, and i wish it wasn't like that, especially when their attacks practically one shot your characters

[@phoenixlau]

The "solution" (more of a "mitigation" since it works well but not 100% effective) is to use one of the beast's collision boxes to "box out" the more aggressive one. That way the aggressive one is trying to attack you through the blocker, which negates a lot of their damage since they can't reach you as much. You still have to dodge well and will probably still take damage, but it removes a lot of the frustration of multiple sources ganging up on you and beating your dodge cooldown.

[@mettaursp309]

@@phoenixlau Also serves the purpose of grouping for crowd control, solving the other problem of twin consecrated beasts.

[@tekkaikenmega509]

The element beast are all Sumaru animals so to keep that theme if they made more a geo stumber beast and cryo tortoise but really all I want I a way to fight the axe knight since I missed him the 1 time he was in spiral abyss

[@Jdogrey1]

As a Hu Tao main, I honestly forgot that the Mirror Maidens could trap you...

[@darkdude1996ify]

I feel like a lot of enemies are disliked because they get put in Spiral Abyss together with other enemies that make them more annoying to fight. Personally I dislike enemies that TP or are invulnerable half the time, even worse if both. I just hate spending more time running after enemies than actually attacking them. I think the only enemy that TPs that I don't actually mind is the Mirror Maiden. Her TP animation is relatively slow, *she's not invulnerable during it,* she's otherwise pretty much stationary, still somewhat vulnerable to cc and she's relatively tanky.

[@bjornnilsson2941]

Much as I hated the double concecrated beasts and rooms full of riftwolves at times in the abyss, I have to agree that they are very well designed enemies. Just sucks when you have to fight the clock while focusing on your rotations and the enemies' moves. But then again does it? It does feel very satisfying when you finally beat the challenge.

[@AnalogOtaku]

3yrs in and I didn't knew pyro agent had that cool clone attack :S

[@CyanideOwl]

In my delusional mind i was sure that is a tier list of enemy that is the worst to play against.

[@Hoopryfien]

Abyss Lecters are indeed very annoying in the Abyss but man their aesthetics are amazing. Visual design, animations, and especially the voice acting on all the different elemental variants is top notch

[@TalkingSoup]

ruin guards/graders would be a lot better if they didn't keep getting stuffed into narrow places in mondstadt and liyue especially. of course it's worst early-mid game, but there's nothing worse than getting pinned and shredded by their spin attack. personally i can't stand enemies with stunlock attacks, and it only becomes bearable later in the game when you can kill them in seconds. also the hydro slime/abyss mage bubbles are possibly one of the worst enemy mechanics in the game, but otherwise i love both enemy types

[@jacobalexander5139]

Consecrated beasts are annoying bc their hit boxes are too large and mobile for abyss

[@jet687]

REAL! Literally can't dodge around them and you get stuck all the time!

[@thebuddhasmiles]

1. Always focus first on dodging. You can't attack if you're dead. 2. Don't spam attack. 3. Make sure you have the window to use your skill. Never use your skill if you think the attack will hit you. 4. Recognise the patterns enemies attack in so you can figure out when to attack.

[@negspirito]

@@thebuddhasmiles and then you spend half a minute running around and even then they might just decide to catch you in a wombo combo in the i-frame downtime between dodges

[@thelobotomobile]

The Beidou main in me found the background footage hard to watch (I wanted to E so bad)

[@blakedout]

I recently looked through clips that I recorded in Genshin last year. The consecrated beasts duo in abyss was in one of them. In that clip my traveler got stunlocked and burgeoned to death in seconds. I do not miss those abysses. I do like their designs but with their stats raised even more for abyss makes it suck hard. My fav enemies are probably the black serpents purely for their design and I think the material they drop looks nice too.
