Yeah, B is WAY too low for YaeMiko considering the massive Dendro Buffs she's gotten. Multiple characters that are above her arguably below. YaeMiko + Tighnari is a absolutely insane combo, their kits are quite literally designed and made with eachother in mind. (They are even both foxes for crying out loud!). And naturally Alhaitham and Nahida work wonders with her as well. YaeMiko needs more credit for her capabilities with Dendro, the Japanese side of the Fanbase is picking up on it heavily right now.

She performs crazy well with both a Standard character, Tighnari, and High Rated Units like Alhaitham and Nahida. Alhaitham/Nahida with YaeMiko dethrones HuTao Vape in DMG.

[@jamrodgers121]

So I fully agree with a lot that you had to say with 2 exceptions. Raiden and Nilou. Raiden absolute SS tier character. Extremely versatile. Don't under estimate the battery that she brings. Being able to make rotations easier much easier and keeping bursts up with way less ER requirement is alone enough to be a game changer. But then add in her damage which only got buffed with dendro. She now is even more versatile than ever with hyperbloom. I am sorry but to me anything less than SS is a crime. C0 is extremely underrated. Just because C2 is incredibly broken doesn't mean Raiden C0 is less than SS tier. Nilou is still too niche. Now her Niche is SS tier with Nahida but you need a Nahida to get that SS feeling. Dendro traveler is good with her but not SS tier worthy alone. Way too niche to be an instant game changer for an account. I would argue A tier unless you have a Nahida and arguably a Kokomi as well. Barbara could work but that isn't a SS tier team.

[@안녕멍청한년]

Yae miko should be SS or S tier

[@DariodelaU]

Yeah and also that playing raiden lets you lower the energy recharge requirements on the teammates she's with, in exchange for more offensive stats and overall more team dps. Nobody can do what raiden does and she is easy SS i agree with you

[@jamrodgers121]

@안녕 멍청한 년 yeah S tier for sure. Since dendro has been added she has been very good for aggravate and hyperbloom teams.

[@optimistic.pessimist]

I think the way that he names the tiers had a say in it. Nilou quite literally was a game changer with her playstyle and the way that damage is basically 100% based on elemental application instead of the damage that element does. And I think the word niche is overused for new characters. yes she only has 1 use case but Hu Tao's only S-tier team is her hydro supports, but nobody ever calls her niche.

[@diatomicfawn1141]

@@optimistic.pessimist that’s fair, but I still think Nikki should be in S and not SS, she is amazing but you can’t use other elements other than hydro and dendro with her, so Nilou being in the same tier as Hu Tao makes sense, and the shogun should be in SS, because she also makes characters easier to bulk because you can ignore ER and she will take care of that

[@loup__1251]

As a miko main, i cried watching her be in B tier, with dendro yae Miko is actually really strong, her em scaling on her skill benefits both her raw damage and her reaction dmg, wich is what makes her really good, she's a good electro applicator and actually deals a lot of damage on dendro reactions, both with her skill and her ult, its like she was specificaly made to work perfectly with dendro teams in mind, and work with them she does ! She's a perfect fit with nahida, Al haitham, tighnari, she works well as a support/ sub dps and Can even be played as a Quick swap dps in certain teams ! ( And she really outdo fischl in terms of pure damage wich makes her a good more offensive alternative to fischl in exchnange for less supportive capability, and she applys more dendro than her ) anyway, that was my yae Miko propaganda, and she's definitely better than what she appears to be in the video !

[@lmars12]

i’m also a yae miko main, and i don’t think she’s bad. she can be used as a support/sub dps in dendro teams with tighnari or al haitham aswell as a pretty good main dps. however i just feel she doesn’t bring anything into your account in comparison to other 5 stars. since fischl can do everything and more than yae miko can while also being a 4 star. for example oz does practically the same amount of damage as yaes turrets, but that isnt taking into consideration fischls a4 passive, less feild time requirement, greater energy generation and electro application (which is even greater with c6). but i do think she makes for a good main dps, and pairing her and fischl together in teams is surprisingly strong and fun!!

[@joustingknight2088]

shes literally just a worse raiden but does such high burst damage

[@ForsakenAgony]

Yeah, he has no idea what he is talking about when it's about Yae Miko and some other characters. She is minimum S. Raiden should be easily SS. No idea why Nilou is over Raiden at all. Ayaka should be SS. Keqing and Tighnari should be S. Cyno should be A. Eula should be B, Mika will maybe make her A but we'll see. Don't know where Shenhe would go but she is def not an eh character. Niche more than anything. Just so much wrong with this tier list but that's just opinions at the end of the day.

[@Zangyaks]

Peope always forget that Raiden increases the burst of everyone by 20%. I couldn’t 36 star abyss until I got her. She’s a top 3 character. Zhongli can be replaced and doesnt do very much damage in a game where the high end content is time based. A lot of people aren’t even going to be running shielders in abyss. Yes he makes the game easy, no he doesn’t help you clear abyss faster.

[@pet_r_o_c_k]

zhongli does 2 things to increase your damage: 1- res shred 2- no need to dodge which results in more hits per rotation for your main dps. basically prevents fire rate loss.

[@alexia3552]

_oh my god I forgot_

[@hielrecare5048]

Raiden is a game changer. Imagine not minding ER stats for support just because of her burst. That alone changes how you build your characters to a more damage oriented build. Has free to play weapon. Applies a lot of electro. Deals insane damage. While all the other chars in S tier only does damage, she can also do that PLUS provide great utility.

L on Raiden (IMO) Raiden Shogun is one of the best support and sub DPS characters in Genshin since she can serve as a battery for the entire party while also dealing massive AoE damage to enemies. Her unique kit also allows her to fit into any random team composition, and her Elemental Skill improves the Team's damage output and she has crazy electro application potential. Not just that, she's also able to deal burst damage sometimes even greater than the main DPS you're using. And she also has the best Artifact Domain in the game for many reasons Resin efficiency being one of them simply because of the fact of how good the 4 set bonus is for many burst supports and damage dealers. Futhermore, it's paired with Shimenawa, which is a fairly universal 2 set bonus and a niche 4 set bonus that can be used an alternative for some carries. Results: She is definitely a BIG game changer in a lot of aspects and can easily carry you through Abyss or basically any content that there is in the game right now. Easy SS for me.

I started building a bunch of cryo character I had forgotten about, and with her help they became some of my favorites!

[@misashikudo9054]

great video my guy but i do think your ranking on Shenhe is a tad harsh and short sighted. If you think about it Shenhe and Nilou are 2 sides of the same coin, they support an element at an insane level, Nilou for dendro and Shenhe for cryo. The only reason Nilou is at the top while Shenhes at the bottom has to do with the overall strength of their supported elements, since dendro is regarded as one of the strongest element right now with the introduction of Nahida and Alhaitham its no wonder that Nilou will be at the top of the chart. On the other side, cryo while still strong has evidently fallen off a bit which caused Shenhes rankings to tank. Shenhe and Nilou are only as strong as their supported elements are. As of now Nilou is head and shoulders above Shenhe without a doubt but in the future we might see the fall of dendro and the rise of cryo, if that happens we will see a switch in rankings between Shenhe and Nilou because i dont think Mihoyo is dumb enough to just kill off an element, im pretty confident that cryo will gain steam again in the future. To preface im not trying to say Shenhe is an SS tier unit either, but i do believe she deserves at least an A. Just food for thought

[@goblinzed3078]

I totally agree with you, also the "Shenhe works only with Ayaka" is not true at all, if you have a good cryo dps she can works with everyone.

[@Toucanbird]

This was a pretty solid list. The only ones to me that stuck out like a sore thumb was Raiden and Ayaka. I can say that Raiden’s utility as both a DPS and a battery is insane. One of my favorite teams to run is Raiden/Nahida/Zhongli and either Bennett or Xingqui depending on if I want more burgeon or hyperbloom. As far as Cryo damage is concerned, Ayaka is unmatched, especially in freeze teams. I would have put these two in SS, but I get it…to each their own. As far as Alhaitham is concerned…I’d say he is in that same boat as Raiden/Ayaka. He is by far and away the most broken Dendro DPS and even though he is a sword user, his Dendro application is outstanding. I don’t think he’s as game breaking as Nahida, but is very much up there in terms of best Dendro/best 5 Star characters.

[@epicdarkraifournineone8006]

Glad to see someone who doesn't underrate Nilou! She pretty much trivialises abyss for me. Hyperbloom is my best team in single-target but it's close with my Hu Tao, while Nilou in AoE situations is pretty much unparalleled on my account unless the enemies are susceptible to Venti's burst. Heck, my Nilou team (Nilou, Barbara, Nahida, Dendro MC) even performs relatively well in single-target situations. And while my Barbara is stupidly well-built and that helps, thanks to EM's dimishing returns, the difference between a well-built full EM character and a full EM character with a build that's simply "alright" is not nearly as big as with other teams, and the limiting factor is rather the amount of hydro application you have, meaning that someone with a Kokomi could do even better than me without very much artifact investment. Which is crazy to think about because, even without Kokomi, Nilou feels genuinely game-breaking.

[@VekarPL]

Idk if puting Nilu in SS and Shende in D tier when both are just for exacly 1 comp and dont exist without other 5* is good idea

[@Tgyvilyas]

For me, Ganyu deserves to be on SS tier, she was the first cryo character and DPS I have ever pulled in Genshin, even without a proper build she is easily able to surpass lots of characters in the game. Without her I would be struggling right now, even if I am on AR 56

[@delphinitys]

I might be biased but I honestly really like albedo for outside of abyss, his skill has a low cooldown, provides shields and has good off field dmg, he’s also really fp2 friendly to build with his dmg scaling off of def so you could put those def artifacts to good use

Yae is great for hyperblooms nowadays. I've been playing with Alhaitham a lot lately and she's the best after Raiden as Fischl doesn't hit them blooms consistently. She's also more flexible than characters like Itto or Eula, and does decently in spread/quicken teams. The turrets are bit annoying but with decent 4 thundering they deal good af reactions. Might be bias cause I use her a lot, but I don't see her on Cyno's level.

A reinforcement for Nilou's position: Everyone who has pulled a 5 star character as a free to play player (because I don't use people who pay for pulls as an example for how paying for convenience trivializes the psychological aspect/s of this game, but I digress) instantly thought to themselves "how can I make this character work with my current pool of characters" and boy let me tell you how Nilou can quickly shift your priorities. When you think of Bloom as a mechanic, you think of Nilou. When you think of Nilou, you think of the Bloom mechanic. And what does/doesn't help is how easy or hard it can be to build a Bloom team with Nilou as a free to play player, due to said temptation, depending on how in too deep you wanna get into it. If anything, Nilou Bloom is probably one of, if not the most free to play friendly teams out there. For example: • Nilou with at least x2 Tenacity artifacts and a bunch of HP scaling stats • Traveler (Dendro) with x4 Deepwood Memories and literally any decent sword • Any Hydro character you have, doesn't matter if they're built or not but much better if they are, what's more important is the Hydro HP resonance anyway. Barbara's literally free, but if you have Kokomi, even better since she's a Hydro healer that scales with HP. • Any Dendro character you have, doesn't matter if they're built or not but much better if they are, what's more important is the Dendro EM resonance anyway. Collei's literally free, but if you have Yaoyao, even better since she's a Dendro healer that scales with HP. Anyone could make this team and find success with it, provided that they can manage to set their expectations accordingly. The only reason why people seem to take offense with this is because most Genshin Impact players have been spoiled with the big number one shot DPS characters too soon.

@Virusings there are no shields good enough to replace his in my experience. Again I find shields can be a dps gain. Not having to worry about dodging or getting knocked back is a dps gain overall even if he himself doesn't bring anything offensively dps wise. Again the few seconds you save by not dodging or getting knocked back saves a ton of time. Layla is arguably the only character that has a shield that can somewhat compete with Zonghlis. Diona has a shield but the rotations are shorter with the time her shield is active vs Zonghlis. Yanfei and all the other pyro shields don't compete. To me A to B is disrespectful imo. S is about as low as I can see him be. Now most geo characters I would agree. Geo is a very bad element imo besides in geo teams which even then there are many teams better in 99% of situations. Zonghli is the lone exception. Against boss fights like the triple mangu kenkis. Only my Zonghli teams are the best match for them and trivializes them.

[@virusings2154]

@@jamrodgers121 He is a powerful character sure, but he isnt that good of a pull.

@Virusings well for me boss fight especially where freeze teams don't work he is valuable in those situations. My 36 stars only happen in this latest update because he is on my account. This being an account with almost all 4 stars and Hu Tao, Ganyu(another character that benefits greatly from Zonghli), Yelan, Raiden, Kazuha, Kokomi, Nahida and Ayaka. My strongest team is Raiden C2R1 Yelan C1R1/Xq if the otherside needs Yelan more Nahida C0R1 Zonghli/Kokomi depending on situation and which team needs which character more. Against the triple mangu kenki Ayaka Kazuha Yelan Zonghli. Normally Kokomi would replace Zonghli but again since freeze doesn't work against bosses it is much better having Zonghli. Diona could work in that spot but I would have to rotate more often and likely lose dps.

That's not a power argument, though (though funnily enough if I wanted to try melt Ganyu Tighnari's bow would be great for her)

[@PenguinDust1969]

I've had Yae Miko since her premiere banner and while I have always enjoyed playing her, since dendro appeared she's been a mainstay on so many of my dendro teams. Pair her with Nahida, Yao Yao, Alhaitham, Dendro-Traveler and her turrets explode damage. Furthermore, there is no downtime for them unlike Fischl's Oz. Raiden is great as is C6 Fischl, but Miko on any dendro comp is equally fantastic. She is a "great character" in my opinion.

[@AbyssArray]

I mostly agree, everything is within 1 tier of where I'd place them.. except for Shenhe - she's in my top 6 for characters. If I were to choose between playing Shenhe without a 5-star cryo DPS and a 5-star cryo DPS without Shenhe, I'd take the Shenhe 100% of the time. I play a ton of mono cryo, they're built around my Shenhe, not the 5-star DPS - one of my favourite parts of the team is having my Diona on a crit build be able to nuke while still providing defensive utility (5 Icy Quills from Shenhe, 5 Icy Paws from Diona), even the anemo unit who infuses their skill can get a boost from Shenhe too. In terms of Shenhe + Ganyu synergy, you don't even charge shot for Ganyu on these style of teams, point of Shenhe teams is to swap between characters and cycle through E/Q on each character. You abuse Ganyu's burst on this, take advantage of the tap E for Shenhe to get 10 Icy Quills per 20s window (5 the first time, 5 the second time), all 10 Icy Quills are used up over the duration of Ganyu burst.

Yae Miko easily deserves her place as a S or SS tier. She triggers quicken and aggravate very easily with a Dendro unit on the team and hyperbloom too when a hydro character is there. She is very flexible for any team for anyone using her. She can summon 3 of her Sesshou Sakuras that constantly apply electro and deal high amounts of electro damage. Her burst is also very non-time consuming and deals additional amounts of high electro damage over an AoE and can even be used more frequently with another electro unit such as Raiden Shogun or hopefully a c6 Sara. Additionally when comparing her to a 4 star such as Fischl at c6 for maximization. Yae Miko is easier to obtain and her AoE is better, Fishl is still a great character with her continuous electro application and however whoever uses her as they do. Miko’s damage stands strong with EM sans or ATK sans, and with characters that boost EM like Nahida, Sucrose, and Kazuha her skill gains additional damage bonus and the elemental reactions she triggers deal a lot of damage too and more with these supports.

I was able to 36* abyss but I have to try my hardest, quitting and reentering, sometimes even waiting the day to reset so I can get a card that actually helps. Ever since I got Nilou, that never happened again, she would always effortlessly destroy one side of the abyss so I can take my time on the other side.

If Raiden can collect particles for all your characters, isn't that a game changer? If you could hit targets with everyone's proc at all times instead of their basic or charge attack, wouldn't that be best? You'd be attacking with procs now. That's very game changing!!

[@simonditomasso9868]

I’d say Zhongli is too high since he only brings defence, venti is too high since when his suck doesn’t work he’s useless, The entire a tier needs to be swapped down to b or d, yae and cyno are both either a or s since they work so well in hyperbloom quickbloom and quicken.

[@DanelRahmani]

Zhongli provides elemental resistance shred, carries tenacity and is basically mandatory for some teams( hu Tao and wanderer for example basically need him) venti generates energy and still provides vv shred even if the enemies don't get sucked it

[@QMS9224]

@@DanelRahmani definetely never mandatory, he's just comfy. Once you learn the mechanics of the game u dont need a shield especially if u have a healer like bennett/kokomi. He doesnt actually add dps to any team he's in he just makes the game easier, also you can give tenacity to any free shield user and it's fine, so I'd say he's overrated here but still a great unit for sure and very cool character. Venti has no unit that can do what he does in the entire game and is by far the best when he does work so he is the underrated one if anything

[@Arlecchinoenthusiast]

KZbinrs never fail to make a horrendous tierlist

[@sodacheese150]

I agree with some but disagree with some Kokomi is a really great for application and healing but aside for compa where you don't need her application, a lot of other characters can do the job like bennett (correct me if im wrong i don't have her) A lot might be confused about nilou but i really agree with her at game changer. she is really f2p friendly and basically has a free team if you have her nilou dmc collei barbara and you can still whip out a ton of damage Im in the middle of ss and s in raiden , i have her as c2 so i basically have no experience at c0 but i think having a battery where you don't run out of burst is game changing. hyperbloom teams are also broken venti for me would be great. he provides er and gathers a huge aoe. he would be at amazing for me if he was equipped with elegy. he gets overwhelmed by kazuha simply because venti's dmg buff only comes from viridescent or elegy, unlike kazuha's passive combined with viri and freedom i disagree with yae since she was buffed hugely with dendro should be at least great. shenhe would be good or bad depending on what characters you have. i pulled for her and never regretted it. she basically doubles my ganyu's damage from 35k to 80k alone. but if you dont have a great cryo dps i don't suggest you pull her. All these are just my personal opinion, feel free to share what you think about my opinion. i might learn something

[@HahaHaha-jx4le]

Kokomi is hydro, bennett is pyro. Not only is kokomi is a great healer, hydro is one of the strongest elements right now, and her aoe application is the best

[@zankoushadow]

nilou still shouldnt be SS imo with characters like ganyu, ayaka, raiden, and yelan that also make it easy to get to atleast floor 9 easily if ur 2nd team is good enough. I feel for it to be SS on pulling it would need to be versatile in multiple types of teams like zhongli with basically everyteam outside freeze, nahida being the best for all dendro teams aswell as having uses outside dendro and outside pve, raiden who can be a battery in multiple different teams and has dendro reaction teams aswell, even characters like kokomi who is extremely good and argueably the best in many freeze, vape teams aswell as the best healer in game and a easy low investment dps early-mid game and if built well late game using taser. with the amount of easy f2p characters that u can get as ur only 5 star with no other 4 stars except the ones u start with being just as good as nilou i feel her also being niche and there being easy replacements in every single reaction team she has puts her at S.

[@exotice1410]

1 thing i will say is that all main dps/ mostly hyper carry characters are should be at A tier and S for like zhongli venti and debatebly yelan but she kazuha nahida and raiden will always be an ss along with a maybe venti cause he trivializes all combat to do with multiple enemies that are small like treasure hoarders Edit: I disliked cause you put zhongli in SS game changer tier. I have him and can say for a fact that he is not worth pulling over other characters simply cause hes just an easy flex slot however i do think hes good just he definitely deserves an A or B tier cause of little value that he offers. I do know he gives res shred but they are other characters that offer that along with other things like healing and application of a element like yao yao, xinqiu and xiangling who gives a attack boost through her talents and also with her c6

[@Chonouf]

I think Shenhe will become way more valuable once more cryo characters came out

[@glitcheremily8994]

I will say the 2 characters that I was most happy pulling for was Klee and Zhongli. Klee cause she my favorite 5 star, Monstanst person, pyro character, etc. I LOVE her so much. Best part I got her on a single pull and if I'm correct I won the 50/50. Klee will always be my favorite no matter what and I will always use her. Next is Zhongli. We all know he OP like crazy. But he my favorite Geo character next to Itto. My favorite Archon. My favorite Liyue character. Etc. Plus I had the pleasure of meeting his VA Keith Silverstein so it just helps a lot more. I got other good teams like my Hu Tao and Keqing teams. But Klee always comes first with Zhongli with her ofc.

[@leemons8352]

venti should be SS tier due to his versatility in builds and ofc his crazy CC 💀

[@Noob-kt5qc]

Nah, venti was ss back in the day but now with all the big mobs hes just not good enough, then again against mobs he can cc he feels like a cheat code

Kazuha is better but venti is still good

[@-notso-savage675]

@@mitchellbarrow3606 I have both triple crown with their 5* weapons and my Kazuha is top 3% in build while my Venti has a bad DPS build and yet, Venti is still way more useful, Kazuha does zéro crowd control, he is a damage boost and a weaker element applicant than Venti. So no Venti is better, you just have to get used to aim his skill which takes only ten uses.
