B-tier characters in Genshin Impact

Recommended Videos

B-tier characters in Genshin Impact are actually still viable in most situations. The downside is that other options have supplanted them.

 

Beidou

  • Element: Electro
  • Role: Sub/Off-field DPS
  • Pros:
    • Is able to absorb damage with her elemental skill, releasing it as an Electro explosion.
    • Her burst creates an Electro discharge that hits numerous opponents; ideal for Electro-based reactions.
  • Cons:
    • Electro reactions are still some of the worst in the game.
    • Doesn’t mesh well with the Raiden Shogun (which would’ve been the ideal pairing).

Diluc

  • Element: Pyro
  • Role: Main DPS
  • Pros:
    • Remains consistent as one of the best DPS characters in the game.
    • Easy-to-use/straightforward abilities.
  • Cons:
    • Affected heavily by the power creep over the past few months; damage is great, but supplanted by several options.
    • Some of the slowest attack animations in the game.

Fischl

  • Element: Electro
  • Role: Sub/Off-field DPS
  • Pros:
    • Great off-field DPS option. Pop Oz and switch to a Pyro/Cryo character for Electro turret-style DPS.
    • High uptime between her skill and burst (which also refreshes her skill).
  • Cons:
    • Damage is significantly weaker now compared to others as a result of power creep.
    • Electro reactions are some of the worst in the game.

Eula

  • Element: Cryo
  • Role: Main DPS
  • Pros:
    • One of the highest burst potentials of anyone on your roster.
    • Can rely on physical damage to make the most out of Pale Flame or Bloodstained Chivalry.
  • Cons:
    • Lengthy and precise rotation.
    • Focusing on physical capabilities means she won’t mesh well with perma-freeze comps.

Qiqi

  • Element: Cryo
  • Role: Support (Healing)
  • Pros:
    • Off-field healing to help exploration and heal-on-attack capability.
    • Burst can mark enemies so active characters can heal themselves when attacking the target.
  • Cons: No other reliable function besides healing (which she’s still very good at).

Klee

  • Element: Pyro
  • Role: Main DPS
  • Pros:
    • High damage ceiling; one of the strongest characters in Genshin Impact.
    • Massive explosions for AoE damage.
  • Cons:
    • Poor synergy with elemental reactions.
    • Significantly more complicated to use due to rotations and animation canceling.

Sucrose

  • Element: Anemo
  • Role: Support (Elemental mastery)
  • Pros:
    • One of the best support characters.
    • Swirl reactions and burst provide more elemental mastery for the entire party.
  • Cons: Significantly weaker compared to most Anemo options; including a weak pull.

Ningguang

  • Element: Geo
  • Role: Main DPS
  • Pros:
    • Jade Screen elemental skill can block projectiles.
    • Machine gun-like playstyle where she continues to fire her own projectiles.
  • Cons:
    • Jade Screen can get easily destroyed since it’s unlikely that you’ll stack HP on her.
    • Poor defensive capabilities outside of this option.
