Beidou burst is nutty. I used to use just Yanfei/Beidou basically with the 4 different element resonance and without decent artifacts. I’d just press Beidou burst and spam click with Yanfei and kill stuff without even knowing how Yanfei’s charged attack works until like a week before I threw the team away 😂 I should bring them back someday and invest more time into them now that I know (kinda) what I’m doing

I feel as though the niche units should get their own tierlist because despite not being all-purpose, they're very very good at what they're meant to do.

[@Doro44c]

i agree

[@varunnarayanswamy8084]

I also like them because they change how you play the game. Like Gorou as a unit changes how you look at geo where it opened up the potential for a geo supremacy team. I don't blame people for not building him, but I think he's slept on in the sense of what he brings to the game

[@food8995]

also why is yun jin in a tier if all the other niches are in c... she's a niche too + i totally agree and think in tier lists (which are dumb and don't show the full picture anyways), they should be considered in a team where they are fully utilized. it's like kuki; if she's in s tier because she's a good hyperbloom trigger (best team), why shouldnt gorou, faurzan, and the rest be?

[@varunnarayanswamy8084]

@@food8995 Exactly. People focus too much on the fact that characters are niche, instead of how impactful they are in those teams. Gorou's Impact on a team with Albedo and Itto is invaluable. I feel like it's okay to mark someone down for lacking utility but it doesn't override their value completely

[@Lubiaa]

not really while they're neiche they might not do what they're meant to do as good as people think if you take gorou for example he's really good because no one can buff geo chars like him and his buff is relevant to mono geo and more esp to def scaling characters while sara doesnt because while they're similar saras buff only lasts for 6s (without mentionning the poor energy regen for an 80 energy cost) and that is not enough for the one characters she can support (raiden) you can force her to buff some other characters like keqing but its not gonna work like wonders thats why most people would rather play fischl in raiden hypercarry because sara is not as good and also fischl takes advantage of benny and kazu and even raiden buffs same things can be said about pre c6 mika compared to bennett and many other characters

[@Error403HRD]

As a Kaeya main, I am VERY happy with his placement. He can heal himself, and he has cryonado. I think he shines in Freeze Teams, purely because of his C1 and 4 piece BS. This man literally needs the bare minimum crit rate against frozen opponents (not even counting the CRYO RESONANCE) and I love that for him, and he works as a Cryo Battery with his 4th Ascension, but it only really works if you're using him as an on field DPS because his self-healing and battery works off his skill. He works well with Chongyun because he's cryo damage focused, even though I... uh... may have replaced him with Mika... favoritism gets you places apparently. Anyway, his healing scales off Attack, and don't bother trying to proc his shield, it will shatter in one hit and doesn't activate to save you from a killing blow, so it's hard to get in the first place. It's good for Lore, and that's about it lol. Note about melt teams, replace him with Rosaria. Rosaria and Xiangling work super well together, and Kaeya really shines as a Main DPS because of his skill. He can definitely work in Melt, Reverse Melt, and even Superconduct, but Freeze is his best comp. He doesn't shine when you're only using his burst, no matter what his C2 and C6 may tell you. Both his ascension passives work off his Skill, which isn't something you'll use often when using him as a Sub DPS, so you're essentially nerfing him. Not only that, even though Melt teams have higher damage potential, Freeze is far more consistent because his ICD essentially takes 2/3 of his damage off the table in Reverse Melt teams, and he's literally only a cryo applicator in Melt teams. He's viable as a Sub DPS in those teams, but if you want to take full advantage of him, make him a Main DPS in a Freeze comp. You will thank me later. Build tips: 4 pc BS, Atk Sands, Cryo Goblet, Crit Damage Circlet (remember BS passive and his C1, if you have it, make CR a pretty bad investment), Both Kokomi and Barbara work, I don't have Xingqiu but I don't see why he WOULDN'T work, Chongyun is perfect for him but my dumbass uses Mika, just get the Cryo Resonance (which increases CR even FURTHER), and probably an anemo like Kazuha or Venti to swirl. Sucrose takes up more field time, but she's viable. I can't make Heizou work, but I'm sure someone can, and bada bing bada boom, there you go! Weapons wise, Cool Steel is a trap, it's definitely great, but Harbinger of Dawn is just BETTER when you have Kokomi/Barbara or Zhongli. As for 4 Stars, Blackcliff Longsword is the best by a longshot, but the Flute and Black Sword are good in a pinch, do NOT use the Alley Flash, EM is a wasted stat on Freeze Teams. 5 star wise, Mistsplitter is the absolute best, mainly because the Primordial Jade Cutter will overcap your crit rate. The Aquila Favonia is good if you aren't using Chongyun (like me), but Mistsplitter is by far the best. So the recommended team comp (do as i say not as i do) would probably be Kaeya (Main DPS), Chongyun (his skill is awesome), Kokomi/Barbara/Xingqiu (healer/hydro for freeze), and Kazuha/Venti/Sucrose/Jean (depending on your swirl needs: Kazuha's plunge breaks freeze, and Venti may or may not carry the enemies out of range if you misaim, Sucrose takes away Kaeya time but has neither of those problems, Jean can abuse fall damage and we love that for her, also she's a healer if you didn't use Kokomi or Barbara) Of course, that's the recommended team. I use Mika instead of Chongyun, so really the only things you need are Kaeya, Cryo, Hydro, Hydro/Anemo, and one of them should probably be a healer. Have fun! -Sincerely, a very enthusiastic Kaeya Main! Edit: No longer a Kaeya Main (Venti has stolen my heart) but Kaeya, Chongyun, Xingqiu is a BROKEN core. Add Kazuha and you are doing ungodly amounts of damage. Only issue is the lack of a healer, but only if you're against unfreezable enemies or have a skill issue lol (in that case, I tend to replace Kazuha with Kokomi, but it nerfs the damage quite a bit. even when she's on Clam.)

[@brymori]

I agree with all of this, as a Kaeya main myself I plan to use 4-pc BS om him but I haven't farm good artifacts so I'm currently using 2-pc BS and 2-pc WT on him which actually works well with Kazuha who I'm currently building. My freeze team consists of Kaeya (Main DPS), Xingqiu (Hydro Applicator and kinda a healer), Kazuha (Enemy grouping and a buffer) and Qiqi (Main healer and for the cryo resonance). I also changed up the team comps whenever I want to, I would either change Xingqiu to Xiangling or Bennett or Bennett and Xiangling to replace Kazuha and Xingqiu (for melt) or Keqing with either Xiangling or Bennett for Superconduct and Overload and I'm having so much fun. I currently use Skyward Blade on Kaeya and his talents are triple 8. I'm currently having so much fun playing both the overworld and abyss. If I may ask for an advice, what would be Mika's role if I include him on my team with Kaeya? Would he be a healer? I recently got him and I want to use him with Kaeya as he's a cryo unit as well.

[@Error403HRD]

@@brymori Mika is a healer, yes! Use him instead of Qiqi, and the attack speed buff should make for more damage (especially if you're using prototype rancour or aquila on kaeya). The highest damaging team I've made was Kaeya, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Kazuha, but that team doesn't have a dedicated healer lol, so it can be hard to use, especially against bosses that don't freeze (against bosses replacing xingqiu with shenhe might work, but i don't have shenhe) I wish you luck! Mika can be a little hard to make work outside of dedicated physical teams, but i'm glad there's another mika enjoyer lol

You don't have to worry about the Electro auto-targeting the wrong enemy because it will touch everything around you anyway.

Yanfei is still one of my favorites. I have other pyro characters that can outclass her damage, like Yoimiya and Hu Tao, but I keep coming back to Yanfei because she's just so satisfying to play. Plus she has zero down time and unlimited pyro application, unlike her 5 star counterparts. Pair her up with Fischl (especially C6 Fischl) and watch the battlefield disappear under wave after wave of explosions. Yes, her damage ceiling is lower than the 5 stars, but she is much more consistent than her big sisters, which makes her much more comfortable to play. And as a nice bonus, one of her best weapons is Lost Prayer, which gives a movement speed boost. So she's usually the one I'm running around as in the overworld.

[@brymori]

As a Kaeya main, him being an A tier is such a win. A lot of people sleep on Kaeya just because he's a 4-star and a starter character who everyone had coz he's free but he's very fun to play and deals lots of damage, whether on boss fight, one-on-one or with group of enemies. He can be built however you want with any team comps and different elemental reactions as Cryo have varying reactions with different element, maybe except for Dendro. He heals himself, he teleports behind enemies which actually helps me a lot im dodging and his passive helps exploring much easier and I really love his cooking bonus, which unlike other characters, is actually fire. He's pretty, handsome, have a good voice (especially the Chinese one) and the original ice bridge man. And of course, his beautiful lore (and other additional information we'll hopefully get in the future). His hangoout event is fun too, istg. Obviously I just love Kaeya, my most invested character out of all in the game and all the characters I have upgraded and leveled up is just for supporting him. Also I just love how you rate these characters, you're being honest if you've ever used them or not and giving advices for those who might want to play who you had played and/or currently using. I agree with your rates, especially with those I use on my teams.

[@salamisenpai]

it makes me so happy to see the yanfei love. i BENCHED eula for her and keqing, and it was a solid choice. (also heizou taser with beidou and xinqgiu is so SO fun)

[@TinkRomero]

When I heard Candace can Hydro Infuse, I immediately knew I would have fun with that at some point, so I decided to prep myself for that moment, so now I have a Lv90 9/9/9 C3 Candace. And although it’s been a while since I’ve played her, I do remember having a lot of fun with her. There are simply just a lot of fun ideas to play with her, (also, it’s fun to see Albedo’s Hydro infused attack). She does have a fun little mining mechanic, her 2nd Normal Attack (where she uses her shield to bash enemies) can break minerals up. As well as her Skill, Tap or Hold, where once again, she is using her Shield to Bash enemies in. Such a fun mineral farmer. :D

[@nickarooroo6397]

She becomes rather good at C6 too. Look out for her. She's underrated imo.

[@torineai]

Thoma saved me cause I missed Zhongli's rerun :3 He's actually an amazing shielder. Can't wait to play him in burgeon when I get Nahida.

[@kyle_8]

I have a team with noelle, xiao, xingqiu, and yanfei and when i saw this i got so happy seeing all my four stars being placed in high ranks :D all of them actually work great for me in my opinion too!! (Xingqiu and yanfei for vape, noelle helping xiao to not deal more damage since his burst does damage to him, etc) anyways, this tier list was great! Hope to see more awesome videos in the future

[@pedro_antuness22]

ahem... respectfully, that team is very bad. They dont synergize at all. You have way better characters to pair with xiao.

[@Sakuta3220]

You are using 3 onfield dps in your team?

[@Yoimiya_Lover29]

3 onfield dps? Together??

[@omegothic]

interesting team building. i hope you are still early game. not sure if you want to hear an advice, but try to use one main dps and three supports. remember- if the characters are all good, it doesn't mean that they're gonna make a good team.

[@kyle_8]

@@omegothic yep I'm still early in the game with ar 40, all of them are level 80 which are my strongest characters and i just use them all in my team😭 I'm not a player who cares about meta, and i find all their attacks awesome which made me use them in the first place, but maybe one day i shall pull for more five stars and give em a go.

[@DomoNicoNii]

1:06 is really funny, cause Baron Bunny is like one of the best ways to do DPS Amber. Seen some really good runs.

[@juju8285]

That's the freaking truth, it's just that the timer is like FIVE DECADES

@@juju8285 I guess I mean with the con that lets you manually detonate it. Requires a con but when you do have it it's pretty good. Shame they make you shoot the freaking foot lol

[@Xenononyx_clips]

My amber does insane damage with the bunny, trick is to get the bunny out first then do your dps rotation so when it pops it got all buffs and hits soon after the end of the rotation

[@Jnxsri]

As someone with Yanfei on my team I can confirm she is so helpful for me

[@ImNotALegend1728]

I agree with the rates. This will help with me wishing for new four stars as I only started a few months ago.Thank you! Also, please don’t tell me I am the only one dancing to the Splatoon 3 music 😭 (started at 5:35 )

[@Zaktro]

Im gonna be the guy to say: Dori is not that bad imo. If we talk about electro aplication then yeah, she is not good for that. But she can be a good support for a dps that needs to be on field, specially if you dont have good shields. She would heal u up while getting hit and fill your burst while also applying electro in a weird way. Definitely not the best, but i would consider above D for sure

[@barbarouski]

As a xinyan main and a genshin player from 1.0 i can admit her kit isn't flexible but if you build her physical she can be really fun. My supports are fischl, Mona and Venti who boost her damage

[@applecheeks21]

I heavily rely on Gorou for shield busting purposes and crunch damage, but he’s not as nichè from what I’ve seen-he’s used a lot more lately

[@awakenedcrowl]

I have an Eula. I have an Ayaka. I have a Yoimiya. I have a Ganyu. Yet, Yanfei is my most consistently good DPS, when paired with Kuki. I don't know what I do wrong building my 5-stars, but Yanfei-Kuki, with Yanfei's decent kit and high EM on Kuki (when she's only LvL 80) just shreds. That, paired up with Kuki's healing and my C6 Yanfei's shield on burst, just makes them the most convenient and consistent team for me. And some may think "BUT OVERLOAD EXPLOSION MAKES ENEMIES GO AWAYYY", but Yanfei doesn't give a sh*t cuz the explosion can hardly send the enemies further than she can track. You will still need to move, if you want Kuki's electro application to reach, but especially on C6 Kuki, you really don't need to move THAT much, and you can still put some attacks inbetween your sprints.

[@heyaitsme7701]

I use Thoma with Xingqiu and Alhaitham and honestly he does better than Xiangling in this specific team. He pops the dendro cores easily and this team has been destroying the abyss. Thoma is one of my favourite characters and i'm really happy to finally be able to use him efficiently in a team

[@kitkatsmeow_]

I’m curious to see you rank the characters as bf and gf materials!!😂😂 always enjoy watching you recently because of Genshin impact!

[@imshadowzorsmth]

as a noelle simp and "main" (she hasnt left my party since beginner banner) I fully agree with a tier. she has very powerful shields and heals, and is a good geo dps if that's something you're after, so she basically fills the role of at least 2 characters. given everything she does she's a very powerful character but personally I don't think she qualifies for full s tier. still it made my face light up when you said a+ :p

[@JessW68]

A really biig hug for doing this list! It's not easy when you are new to know who is good or smart to build. I wish there was more info about who to build and how even for low AR. Both with weapons and artifacts. If you are out of content any day maybe you can do a bunch of tips for newbies and up to AR 40/45-ish where ppl often say that is time for farming.

[@Ghoul_da]

Bro, people really misunderstood the Sara's kit, she buffs attack just like Benny. Yeah her C6 just favors electro but that doesn't mean she don't buff atk of others. She could easily be B tier.

[@claudiapieters2443]

I've been playing a while and collected many characters, but never really knew who to build (except for Bennett because I got him early in the game and he's been my main ever since). This video helped me a lot to make decisions on who to focus on instead of spreading my resources everywhere, thanks for sharing!

[@gusherxcrusher]

As someone who has Barbara Bennett and Beidou (with dendro traveler lol) in my team I'm happy to see they're considered good bc even if I get a 5 star I couldn't change my main team I love them too much T.T Edit: new main team is Barbara Bennett Nahida and traveler but traveler can easily be swapped out for Xiangling or sucrose or Fyshl depending on the circumstance

[@cirkleobserver3217]

Barbara is not good imo, she’s just one of the easiest healers to access. I can’t say she’s useless but at the same time I prefer pretty much any healer, even bennet.

[@gusherxcrusher]

@@cirkleobserver3217 well she's now my sub dps bc I'm building a DPS Barbara LMAO trying to make a hyper bloom team with her as main DPS since I currently have traveler and Nahida so all I need is Raiden

I love Bennet. He is the one character I always protect and keep alive because of that healing and attack boost. I literally start switching my characters to give them a turn to heal

[@pkidawmbt]

I agree with everything except yaoyao. At C0 she is an INSANE dendro applicator with healing and while yes she has to be on field to heal everyone, that healing is godly and also applies insane dendro, so with with a good off field hydro applicator or electro she becomes super strong offensively WHILE healing. And remember, this is all at C0. This makes her S-Tier every time.

[@betterlifetomorrow2221]

“if you have Lisa” “if you have kaeya” doro you get them at the beginning of the game lmao

[@Emiii_ly]

I got c5 Yaoyao while trying to get Alhaitham and I'm so glad I have her. I don't have Nahida so she is a life saver (literally). And I don't think she needs to deal dmg to heal, I just run in circle and she throws radish everywhere lol

[@hjhurdlow]

Now I know who to build, bc I am at the stage where I don't really know who to build and what comps are good, so this has really helped.

[@cybremystica93]

I honestly think you have got every 4 star ratings correct.

[@asummusa2023]

Xingqui is a 5 star, coz he is a star himself + 4 stars 🌟

[@DardenLaoke]

Dori is good with Sac Claymore in quick swap Hyperbloom because her E has a small AoE, and at certain cons there is an off field turret effect similar to her E every time her Q procs heals. You have to think out of the box using her because her mechanics are so different. Build her with a lot of EM and ER. Her healing is just to compensate for eventual bloom damage. Yelan, Dori, Nahida/DMC and Sucrose or a Cryo like Kaeya is a nice team, because you can generate cores, then Dori Q, then Yelan E to run around the genie to pop the cores and apply more hydro. Sayu can also do the run around wih her E to save stamina, preferably infused with Hydro.

[@prprpr111]

I use YaoYao with my Raiden and Yelan, so I use Yelan's alt and Raiden's E skill, so I would get both hydro and electro application when using YaoYao's alt - so it would actually defeat a lot of the enemies with hyperbloom and would pretty much heal my entire team at the same time

[@meakimon]

It would be fun to see you built the bottom tier units, and play them for a month, and then come back and look at this tier list. Not because I think your opinion is wrong, but because like with Kaeya, sometimes a char can surprise you. ^^ Great list!^^

[@Yoru-desu13]

Lisa needs to go up to A She's great with dendro and you can make a completely f2p team of Lisa, DMC, Barbara, and Collei for extremely strong early game with EM / Instructors If this list is aimed towards newer players who don't have many characters, she definitely deserves to be in A

[@chasewiedel2396]

I’m subscribing you just because your voice is META for an 80’s cartoon character. This is a praise

[@argentumlillium3044]

Noelle is amazing. I got her at C6 with around 3k defense with the possibility to go much higher

[@e-onesb3322]

I gotta say for the most part i can agree with your tier list for the 4 star characters. I would change maybe about 3ish characters around but relatively similar to what i would have place them

[@mateuszgrzebyk4377]

i am aware that this is your list and your opinion but i think you did Sayu dirty. I dont think you realise how good she can heal. Easily bennett tier healing, her movement is fun and exploration efficient, plus if you slap random 4pc VV on her she can even buff your team with constant swirls

[@daniellechoice2587]

so true with barabara, if you set her with kaeya for like the start of the game because she's easy to get, you are set until you get a better cryo or hydro- personal expeirience

[@mrsentinel6815]

I disagree with putting Dori in D tier, she can actually be a good replacement for kuki. Of course for her to work well you need alot of er but besides that in my opinion she can do more reactions than kuki, heals ALOT more and shes great in aggravate teams especially with tignari.

[@thelittlethings_]

Ive been playing genshin for a year and a half and still have Xiangling on my team. Got some cons for her when wishing for Kazuha too. She's genuinely an awesome unit.

[@IconicTristan]

I honestly think you underestimate sayu a lot, she does alright swirl, but her heals are pretty good and exploration is so much less of a nightmare with her, I think she should go at least B

[@Takotino]

This. I used sayu in abyss as a healer and VV shredder. Yet she's lower than barbara.

[@winterscarlette4204]

I always watch Doro's vids and most of his tips in regards of different characters and their playkit helps me a lot for better understanding because his opinions on different team characters and how to utilize team reactions better. For me, he gives good advices on how you utilize your characters since I think he is one of those pioneer players of genshin and he knows a lot. Also, he is so fun to watch because of his own reactions that it's genuine that everytime he laughs, you would laugh as well xD

Rn, I still have no clues about how I am supposed to build, but I guess I let myself be surprised:3

Noelle, Yanfei, and Yaoyao were my early team along with Lumine. Love them so much they’re the best!

[@Maxdaperson]

Doro before we are not talking about c6 Doro later yunjins really good she can boost your attack speed

[@songsayswhat]

I mained Ningguang early on. Gotta say if you have hydro units that need to fight the Oceanid, she can handle your bird problems. Her screen immediately disappears, but it makes crystals (as do her rocks). She'll keep your team shielded the entire time (something even Noelle can't do) plus her rocks will hit the birds. Very niche, but if you haven't built an archer, she can help. And I love her. Animation cancel FTW.

[@John_II]

Finally a tier list I mostly agree with. LP No debate about Bennett, Fischl, Sucrose, Xiangling, Xingqiu and Shinobu. I'm glad to see Kujou Sara, Faruzan and Gorou near the bottom. They're not "bad" per se, but they're niche supports almost specifically for one or two 5* characters. I don't see how they would appear in e.g. S Tier or A tier in some tier lists. It's not the same as Xingiqu or Sucrose who can add something to almost any team.

[@rallvegd]

Kujou Sara buffs ALL characters tho, not just electro characters, so I don't get how she's "niche". It's only her C6 that only buffs electro characters, but the buff she gives them (60% extra crit DMG) is INSANE. C6 Sara is an absolute monster in any electro hypercarry team and does NOT deserve to be in C tier in my opinion, more like A tier.

[@John_II]

I won't quibble over the definition of "niche", because your version clearly isn't "niche" for you, and I bet many would agree with you. @@rallvegd :) For me, Sara is the definition of niche. Sort of like how Yun JIn buffs normal attacks... technically that benefits everyone, but really she's a buff for Ayato and Yoimiya teams primarily. So, that's how I see Sara: Cyno, Yae, Raiden, Lisa (oof), probably Chlorinde, will all benefit from Sara - to me that's niche, but if that's enough flexibility for some people, I won't rain on their parade. I think @rallvegd could sell anyone on Kujou Sara. :)

[@John_II]

@@rallvegdand I guess, to be fair, I'm conflating "niche use" with "niche best teams" . Kujou Sara's buffs aren't only welcome on one team - I just think he "best" teams are few... although I suppose that would be most characters.

[@rallvegd]

@@John_II I see where you're coming from. Sorry, I was a bit heated after he put Sara on the same tier as AMBER. At least Sara plays a massive role in Raiden hypercarry teams for example, while I haven't seen someone unironically using Amber (past early-game) for anything other than personal challenges. But yes, I could agree that Sara doesn't exactly have many "best" teams other than the example I mentioned.

[@John_II]

No worries, @@rallvegd I wasn't clear in my point either. I would not equate Amber to Sara either. Sara adds way more value. Besides this way, I learned more about Sara and I'm looking forward to trying her out more in the near future. :)
