I made a tier list based off this post:
https://www.reddit.com/Genshin_Impact/comments/l0ac0x/i_hate_tier_lists_but_understand_their_usefulness/ It's a long tier list for the 1.3 update, but I hope it's useful for some of y'all. I assessed the constellation powers of each character based off late-game content and left some additional info below each character's assessment.
SS-Tier being the highest score and C-tier being the lowest.
The order of the weapons and artifact sets are not in any particular tiered order. F2P weapons will always be first in recommendation followed by whatever else fits in the character's build.
Just a disclaimer: tier lists will always be flawed, especially when there are so many opinions and information to go off from. Micromanaging a tier list can be very tedious, it's tough to set an evaluation for a character when you have to compare them to another 20 to see if the tier is valid. So if there's any issues with their tiers, feel free to share your opinion - I'm always keen to re-edit. This was just originally a small fun thing I did after seeing some tier lists online, so I apologise in advanced if any characters aren't in your preferred tier.
I'll be updating this every now and then until the end of 1.3.
Terminology: DPS: Damage dealer or damage-per-second
Elemental Burst: Ultimate, Q ability, that one big move icon on the screen that requires energy
Elemental skill: Your E ability or that smaller move icon on the screen.
4P or 2P: Four-piece artifact / Two-piece artifact
F2P: Free to Play players, F2P weapon recommendation is listed first.
Cleanse: Removes elemental debuff from ally/allies with their own elemental application. eg. Bennett's burst which applies pyro on yourself and teammates or Diona's shield which applies cryo on self when cast.
Main DPS: The carry who is on the field most of the time and uses supports from the team to dish out damage. All main DPS are viable if you put in enough commitment.
Detonator: Damage dealers who have a high damage output in a short period of time. Previously labelled "Burst" but was changed to a more less confusing label to encompass overall burst damage and elemental bursts. Transformative bursts like Xiao, Razor, and Noelle are not included because of their kits.
Enabler: The support that allows the damage dealers to maximise their damage. This role utilises their kit by buffing, applying extra damage and crowd control, and setting up elemental reactions for overall team damage output potential.
Battery: The energy recharger of the team. Creates energy for the main DPS and supports.
Utility: A broad category that includes healing, cleansing, debuffing, taunting, buffing, and shielding.
Sub DPS: Includes all the battery characters, detonators, and enablers
Support: Includes all the utility characters
S / A: Borderline S-tier and A-tier

- Pyro Ganyu
- Decent pyro application but gets a huge boost in potential damage at C2 with her deployable bunny.
- Low energy burst but the utility of her burst is lackluster compared to other 4 star pyros since it does only damage and constant pyro application for a short period of time until you reach C6. Her deployable elemental skill does, however provide taunt and a considerable amount of energy for her teammates and this enabling and battery potential doubles at C4.
- At C1, her physical damage potential is possible with aim-shot cancelling - similar to Fischl. Very high skill ceiling, but her arrows can hit enemy weak points if you master this approach.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Crescent (F2P), Amos Bow, Blackcliff Bow, Sharpshooter with 4P Wanderer's Troupe if charged attack DPS. 2P Crimson Witch + 2P Noblesse / Gladiator / Wanderer's will also work for more flexible builds. Skyward Harp, The Stringless if C2/C4+ with 4P Crimson Witch of Flames. Compound Bow, Amos Bow, Skyward Harp if C1 physical build with 2P Gladiator's Finale/ 2P Bloodstained Chilvalry
Sub DPS: Favonius Warbow (F2P), The Stringless, Skyward Harp with 2P Crimson Witch of Flames + 2P Noblesse Oblige or 4P Noblesse if you want to use her for her burst or if you want to capitalise on her C6. 4P Crimson Witch of Flames if C2+ and detonator.

- 5 Star Husbando
- A great physical DMG DPS considering that he has the highest sword-held basic attack multipliers in the game. A staple for freeze, superconduct, and melt comps. Elemental skill has a relatively short cooldown, good battery, and long range.
- Deployable burst makes him an excellent cryo enabler and battery, however its true potential is locked behind C2. C6 increases his burst damage while also reducing the energy requirement for his burst.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Rancour (F2P), Aquila Favonia, The Black Sword, Primodial Jade Cutter, Blackcliff Longsword with 2P Gladiator + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry for flexible physical damage. 4P Blizzard Strayer for freeze comp and additional critical damage.
Sub DPS: Any recharge weapon, Festering Desire (F2P) with 2P Blizzard Strayer + 2P Noblesse / Bloodstained / Gladiator's / Wanderer's or 4P Wanderer's Troupe.

- Strong ara ara energy
- Slow energy recharge and odd play style, her elemental skill cooldown and charge is too long to be capitalised with and also leaves her vulnerable.
- High burst cost for decent damage, second ascension talent allows her burst to reduce enemy DEF. Would be ranked higher in the tiers if her burst didn't push enemies away and had a lower energy cost. Her true potential unlocks at C6 as a detonator as she applies conductive status on surrounding enemies when she switches onto the field. This allows for high electro damage potential with her elemental skill in a small window of time.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Mappa Mare (F2P), Favonius Codex, The Widsith, Solar Pearl with 4P Thundering Fury or 2P Thundering Fury + 2P Gladiator's Finale or 4P Thundersoother

- Pancake rock maid, literal definition of "one man army".
- Her giant sword knows no limits, except her constellations. C6 increases her damage by a considerable amount and solidifies DEF as her main stat while also increasing the duration of her burst.
- Can't regenerate energy well, but her excellent shield and decent heals make up for that as a support. With her low energy recharge and relatively high energy burst, she requires a team built around her to enable her DPS potential to the fullest.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Whiteblind or Archaic Petra (F2P) Wolf's Gravestone, Skyward Pride, Serpent Spine with 4P Gladiator's Finale or 4P Retracing Bolide
Support: Whiteblind (F2P) or any recharge weapon with 4P Retracing Bolide or 2P Maiden's Beloved + 2P Defender's. 2P Retracing Bolide's effect doesn't carry its buff to other allies.

- Electro Chunnibyo
- Best electro support in the game at C6, her burst resets the cooldown of Oz. Oz can constantly apply electro on the enemy and allow for many main DPS' to shine. Her second ascension talent is an excellent quirk for potential damage. A staple in electro-charged comps.
- An extremely flexible 4 star unit, can be either a physical main DPS or electro support.
- Her physical damage potential can reach higher with aim-shot cancelling. Very high skill ceiling, but her arrows can hit enemy weak points if you master this approach.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Compound Bow (F2P), Skyward Harp, Rust, Amos Bow, Viridescent Hunt with 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry or 2P Thundering Fury + 2P Gladiator's / Bloodstained
Sub DPS: Favonius Warbow or Prototype Crescent (F2P), Skyward Harp, The Stringless with 2P Thundering Fury + 2P Gladiator's Finale or 4P Thundersoother. 4P cooldown effect of Thundering Fury does not work unless she's on the field. Elemental mastery is weak with electro supports; Stringless being the only exception with its passive.

- Sadge 1.3 Barbara
- Has high healing output and can apply hydro on the enemy with her deployable elemental skill, albeit long cooldown - however, she has no decent support outside of heals except at C2 which gives additional hydro damage to allies with her E and C6 which allows her to ressurect a fallen ally.
- Her basic attacks have good multipliers in comparison to Mona, however the rest of her kit does not align well with the main DPS role.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Mappa Mare (F2P), Solar Pearl, Widsith with 4P Wanderer's Troupe or 4P Heart of Depth or 2P Heart of Depth + 2P Gladiator's

- Destroyer of slime condensates
- Best pyro application in the game with her deployable elemental skill and elemental burst. A staple in melt and vaporise comps and excellent support for a pyro main DPS at C1 and C6. Her second ascension talent drops chillis for additional attack damage.
- A very flexible unit with high attack ratios. Huge enabling potential spike at C4.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Crescent Pike (F2P), Primodial Jade, Skyward Spine, Deathmatch with 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry or 4P Crimson Witch of Flames
Sub DPS: Prototype Starglitter (F2P), Skyward Spine, Dragon's Bane, any recharge weapon with 2P Crimson Witch + 2P Gladiator's. 2P Crimson Witch + 2P Noblesse if C4. The 4P effect of Crimson Witch does not work if she's not on the field.

- More like hurricane tortilla
- Big knockback and crowd control with their elemental burst and skill; the con of knockback could be easily thwarted if played around with enough. Elemental burst and skill can be infused with other elements. Long elemental skill cooldown and leaves them vulnerable while charging.
- Being an anemo pushes them higher in the tier as a support with access to 4P Viridescent Veneer. Very large power spike at C6 with its additional shredding capabilities with their elemental burst. This could also allow for other builds other than 4P Viridescent Veneer.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Rancour, Festering Desire (F2P), Skyward Blade, Aquila Favonia with 4P Gladiator's Finale or 2P Viridescent + 2P Gladiator's

- Stepping stone and king of rock tumours
- Underrated damage potential. Big power spike at C2 and battery capabilities increased a lot at C4.
- Elemental skill has low cooldown and gives additional crit rate to allies and self at C1. Geo construct can be used to block enemy damage. Also an excellent battery for geo comps.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Rancour or Festering Desire (F2P), Skyward Blade, The Black Sword, Summit Shaper with 4P Gladiator's Finale or 2P Archaic Petra + 2P Gladiator's Finale
Sub DPS: Festering Desire (F2P), Harbinger of Dawn, any energy recharge weapon with 2P Archaic Petra + 2P Noblesse Oblige / Gladiator's or 4P Noblesse Oblige. 4P Archaic Petra for additional supporting capabilities.

- The alpha chad of 4 star supports
- Elemental burst increases team damage output through the roof and cleanses the team with pyro. Fastest healing tick rate in the game although hampered by a 70% max HP heal limit. Low investment cost since his burst only scales off his base ATK. Elemental skill has a short cooldown and its cooldown is reduced by half in his burst at second ascension talent, making him the GOAT of pyro batteries.
- Main DPS potential is very high without constellations when paired with Chongyun or Xingqiu for melt/vaporise comps. A one man army capable of carrying his own team by himself.
- Bennett's C6 is the only detrimental upgrade out of the lot in this list. The constellation changes all melee damage and cryo/electro infusions into pyro damage when you enter his field. While it may boost his own DPS potential and other pyro damage dealers with its additional pyro DMG bonus, it is not best paired with skills like Chongyun's cryo infusion and Keqing's electro infusion. He also loses main DPS potential when paired with Chongyun as he loses access to melt.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Festering Desire or Iron Sting (F2P), Skyward Blade, The Black Sword, Primodial Jade Cutter with 4P Crimson Witch of Flames

- The better Qiqi + actual furry, ew.
- Excellent support with her shielding, healing, and cleansing capabilities. Her cryo application is alright with her short cooldown elemental skill and her burst which deals continuous cryo damage. Her shield and burst cleanses elements very well.
- While C1 greatly increases her enabling output, her true potential is unlocked at C6, allowing her to give 200 elemental mastery to the team when her burst is out and increases her healing output to a great measurable amount.
Recommendations:
Support: Favonius Warbow (F2P), Sacrificial Bow with 4P Maiden's Beloved or 4P Noblesse Oblige

- Xinyan mains WYA
- A very expensive 4 star unit, her initial value without constellations is low. Her true potential is unlocked at C2 with her burst giving a guaranteed crit-hit and allows her to recast her shield. C4 is highly recommended to increase her DPS potential.
- Mixed stats are an issue, she may seem like a pyro enabler at first glance but she's more of a physical damage enabler for characters like Razor. Her elemental skill has a long cooldown but it can increase physical damage, cleanse herself with pyro, omit consistent pyro damage (if level 3 shield), and shield her allies.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Snow-tombed Starsilver, Prototype Archaic (F2P), Wolf's Gravestone, Blackcliff Slasher, Skyward Pride, Serpent Spine, The Unforged with 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry or 4P Gladiator's Finale.
Sub DPS: Whiteblind (if using her primarily for shields), Snow-tombed Starsilver or Prototype Archaic (F2P), Favonius Greatsword, Sacrificial Greatsword with 2P Bloodstained Chivalry + 2P Noblesse Oblige or 4P Noblesse Oblige

- Queen of Counters
- Although her supporting capabilities are locked behind a high energy costing burst, her elemental skill provides a lot of defensive and offensive options with her short cooldowns. At C6, her enabling potential increases by a lot with her elemental burst.
- Her main DPS potential is locked behind her heavy reliance on being able to counter enemy attacks. Enemy AI can be very random and forces Beidou's DPS at a lower tier than it should be. If her elemental skill could taunt to force enemies to hit her, she would most likely be in a higher tier.
Recommendations:

- Hydro swords go brrRR
- Best hydro support in the game, but heavily reliant on energy recharge to cope with his high costing burst. His initial value is great, but his damage and enabling potential goes through the roof at C2. His main DPS potential is also very underrated.
- Although his elemental skill has a long cooldown, it does provide damage reduction, decent hydro application, and a lot of energy.
Recommendations:
Sub DPS: Prototype Rancour or Iron Sting (F2P), Sacrificial Sword, Skyward Pride, any recharge weapon with 4P Noblesse Oblige or 2P Heart of Depth + 2P Noblesse Oblige. If at C6 Xingqiu, there's no need to invest in an energy recharge weapon - probably should just focus on energy recharge on your sands if need be.

- Electro furry bait
- Damage potential is almost comparable to a 5 star's potential. Elemental burst increases his attack speed to a very considerable amount and his character ascension stat allows for additional physical damage. Has in-built energy recharge in his kit to combat his 80 energy burst.
- His true damage potential is locked behind his first 4 constellations which increase his damage output, crit-rate, and decrease enemy DEF. While most of his damage is physical, his electro output is considerably alright.
- However, although his damage potential is high - he is a selfish DPS who needs to take up a lot of field time to maximise his damage. His team should utilise characters with deployables that match his kit such as Qiqi, Diona, Xinyan, and Xingqiu.

- Popsicle boy
- His true utility and enabling potential is locked behind C2 which allows his elemental skill to reduce the cooldowns of elemental skills and bursts cast in his field. Although his elemental skill can be both a blessing and a curse with his cryo infusion, it can also increase weapon attack speed and reduce the cryo resistance of enemies.
- While having the lowest basic attack ratios of all the claymore users, he makes up for it with his kit and constellations. Having a burst with high multipliers, especially at C6, pushes him slightly higher in the list considering the cooldowns and buffs he can give to himself and his teammates. Shorter burst cooldown window from 12 - 10.2 seconds at C2 makes him a very valid 4P Noblesse Oblige user. Currently, there is no 4P artifact set that suits his DPS potential but if a cryo set were to come out that could maximise his melt reaction damage, he would be casted higher in the tier list.

- Anemo wallflower, budget Venti
- Has the highest support ceiling in the game; scales very well late game with an elemental mastery packed build. Capable of crowd controlling enemies, anemo debuffing, and increasing the team's elemental mastery. Her support potential shines at C4 where she can easily obtain her elemental skill with her basic attacks allowing her kit to shine without worry of cooldown. Even with low investment, her support potential still stands out well when paired with Viridescent Veneer.
- Her main DPS potential is incredibly underrated. With her ascension stat being anemo damage and her being a catalyst anemo user, she can become an on-field carry with Fischl, Beidou, and Xingqiu behind her back dealing damage with deployables. C4 and C6 is recommended.

- Missile Launcher, Queen of GEO
- Excellent damage output, greatly increases her DPS potential with every passing constellation. Low energy requirement for burst and a catalyst user that can spam basic attacks. She unlocks her highest damage potential at C6, where her output alone is comparable to Diluc vaporise comps.
- Her damage ceiling stretches further as you learn to mitigate her basic attack animations with her animation-cancelling techniques.
- She is a capable niche support for geo teams being able to buff the team's geo damage with her deployable elemental skill. C2 also pushes her enabling, bursting, and battery potential by increasing her own damage output and provides additional energy to the team with its multiple elemental skill casts.

- CEO of GEO, he died for Geo's sins so they could rise again. The true covenant holder.
- Best shielder in the game, his utility support potential is now comparable to Bennett, Sucrose, and Venti with the new buffs. With his shield being capable of shredding all elemental and physical damage resistances and having 100% uptime potential, he has become viable in all comps and also validates Zhongli's potential as a main DPS. Second ascension talent and shield shred combined doubles his basic attack and elemental skill damage with additional HP% scaling.
- Deployable elemental skill does decent damage, but the energy recharge is random and its area of effect is relatively small. C4 greatly increases his enabling potential by extending the petrification status of enemies and the size of his burst. C6 expands his role as another healer, removing the need for an additional healing support in the team.

- Edgy anemo grasshopper, plunge attack spam is no joke
- With the highest base ATK and his transformative burst, his damage output is considered the highest in the game when considering other units and their solo output. With his burst time and talent passives assessed, his damage potential is slightly higher than Diluc's vaporise comp. However, his overall main DPS potential is limited by his element, lack of team synergy, high energy cost of his burst, and burst downtime. For optimal damage, he requires another anemo to battery his burst and some energy recharge built into his kit.
- C6 solidifies his position in the highest tier and changes his playstyle in accordance to his elemental skill.

- Who? I only know Childe.
- Although his damage output is hampered by the long cooldown on his elemental skill, his burst potential makes up for it with his elemental skill's passive: Riptide. Each Riptide has an individual elemental reaction proc and damage bursting potential, spreading to other enemies like the plague. Such reaction damage validates electro-charged comps. To maximise his damage potential, he is best paired with C6 Fischl oand C6 Beidou. At C6, his position in the highest tier is certified with the complete removal of his elemental skill cooldown.
- A very expensive unit to build around in comparison to other 5 stars.
- Heart of Depth is tailor-made to fit his playstyle.
- His enabling potential is greatly increased at C4. Riptide automatically triggers every 4 seconds his elemental skill lasts, greatly increasing his hydro application and damage.

- Cryo Bazooka
- The platinum standard for a 5 star character. Theoretically, she has the highest damage output in the game with a melt comp + 4P Wanderer's Troupe. However, being a charged aim shot damage dealer - her skill ceiling is higher than other main DPS'. Her charged attack and frostflake bloom damage is no joke when coupled with her ascension talents which give her additional crit-rate and bonus cryo damage when she's in the vicinity of her burst. Arguably, C1 is one of her best constellations as it reduces cryo resistance and gives her bonus energy.
- Her enabling potential is one of the best in the game, almost too good. When using her elemental burst to apply cryo on the enemy, her ice shards are usually the ones procc-ing the melt damage and not the main DPS. While being an occassional drawback for melt teams, her burst's overwhelming enabling potential with its almost 100% uptime potential is well suited for freeze comps. Her utility potential is greatly increased at C4 as her burst increases the amount of incoming damage enemies take in its field.

- Elevator boi
- A great battery with high enabling potential. His elemental skill lasts 30 seconds on the field and deals AOE geo damage in a wide radius with battery and damage potential being comparable to Fischl's Oz. Being a geo enabler, he also provides shields through crystallise and also increases the team's elemental mastery with his burst at second ascension talent.
- Mixed stats are usually an issue, but going full DEF build to maximise his elemental skill damage is very valid. C2 solidifies DEF as his main stat to build and greatly increases the amount of damage his burst deals. C4 and C6 allow a considerable increase to his utility capabilities with him being a niche pick for plunge attack teams and defensive teams utilising crystallise.

- Hu Tao's best mate, #buffqiqi
- Best healer in the game. However, there is no content in the game that requires the healing that Qiqi provides for her team. While being only a heal bot, she does provide some utility at C4 which allows her to reduce the attack damage of enemies and C6 which allows her to resurrect fallen allies. Although her elemental skill is deployable, the cryo application is slow and is hampered by a very long cooldown.
- Her damage output potential is limited by the large energy requirement of her burst and the lack of energy she creates from her elemental skill. Even though attack is her primary stat, her basic attack multipliers are very subpar in comparison to Kaeya. At C2, she gets a small boost in her basic attack damage output against enemies affected by cryo.

- Dandelion TIGHTS
- Jack of all trades, however master of one role. The flexibility of her unit makes her the platinum standard for supports alongside Venti, Zhongli, and Bennett. Being a healer, cleanser, crowd control check, an anemo debuffer, and a battery - she can fit into any team. With her second talent ascension reducing the amount of energy required for her burst, she's also a decent burst damage dealer. Her enabling potential is pushed higher at C2 where she gives the team additional movement and attack speed when she retrieves an energy orb.
- Her fall damage exploit is no joke. Her charged attack is unique in comparison to other sword users, allowing her to crowd control her enemies into the air and dealing a considerable amount of damage. She's also one of the only physical damage users who can use 4P Bloodstained Chivalry properly. Her main DPS potential is greatly increased at C1, where her short cooldown elemental skill gains additional damage and pulling strength. C4 also shreds anemo resistance off enemies by a considerable amount making her a high tier main DPS and S tier enabler.

- Terrorist, Destroyer of Worlds. Dynamite really does come in small packages.
- Her initial value is great as a main DPS, having access to a catalyst and area of effect pyro damage. Her damage ceiling increases as you learn to mitigate her basic attack animations with her animation-cancelling techniques. At C1, she gets a boost in damage potential with her attacks and skills randomly proc-ing additional pyro damage.
- With her deployable elemental skill and multiple charges, she can be an enabler for some vaporise and melt comps. Her enabling and utility potential increases with C2 which allows her to reduce enemy defence by a considerable lot with her elemental skill and C4 which turns her into a detonator when her elemental burst goes off. C6 gives additional energy and pyro damage to her teammates when she uses her burst.

- "Wow, you did 120K damage with your Childe? I can do 800K with my Mona"
- A staple in high DPS damage showcases. Her elemental burst is one of the best in the game - having the ability to multiply damage output by a great amount, crowd control mobs of enemies, apply hydro to a large AOE, and work well in tandem with elemental reaction comps. Not only that, she also receives energy recharge when she ascends, allowing her to spam her burst often. Her deployable elemental skill provides a taunt, a considerable amount of energy, and consistent hydro application, however it does have a long cooldown which hampers on her enabling potential. At C1, the elemental reaction damage output of her burst increases by a considerable amount.
- Her damage potential is considerably DPS friendly. Being a catalyst user, she can constantly apply area of effect hydro damage without being limited by her elemental skills. At C2, her damage potential spikes as she can randomly proc her charged attacks with her basic attack spam. C6 Mona also scales up the damage potential of her charged attack.

- Electro furry bait, Kekw-ing
- Her charged attack spam is the fastest in the game and deals a very high amount of damage in a short window of time. Gains crit damage as an ascension stat and additional crit rate + energy recharge when using her burst. Having a low energy cost with her burst, she has a very high uptime with her electro damage despite being a physical damage / electro damage hybrid.
- However, being an electro damage dealer does have it's limitations. Electro-related reaction damage doesn't have considerably high multipliers compared to amplification reactions like melt and vaporise. Electro-charged is the best contender for damage over time and should be paired with Xingqiu to maximise her potential.
- Damage output heavily reliant on stamina. Her charged attack energy cost is slightly higher than other sword users.
- C4 and C6 have the greatest impact on her potential damage, increasing her overall electro damage output.

- Sadge alocoholic, allergic to furries
- The first platinum standard support since the game's release. His burst is among the best in the game, being capable of absorbing other elements, crowd controlling mobs of enemies in a large radius, and dealing an incredible amount of damage. His enabling capabilities are also boosted by his ascension talents which reduce the energy cost of his 60 energy burst and his ascension stat which gives additional energy recharge. C2 allows for additional shred on top of Viridescent Veneer and C6 shreds on top of that shred.
- As a main DPS, he is best paired with Jean for anemo battery-ing each other. His elemental burst coupled with Stringless greatly increases his damage potential. All of his constellations increase his damage output by a considerable amount.

- Budget Bennett, Batman
- The first platinum standard damage dealer since the game's release. One of the best DPS damage dealers in the game with low technicality and high damage output. With pyro infusion from his elemental burst and being a claymore user, he has one of the highest damage outputs in the game being only beaten by Ganyu and Xiao. Paired with Xingqiu, he can maximise his damage potential with vaporise. All of his constellations are a considerable damage boost to his DPS potential and solidify his place in the highest tier.
Recommendations:
