Genshin Impact Tier List (7.2)

Our Tier List for Genshin Impact Version 7.2 organises characters into 3 roles. A Main DPS, Sub DPS and Support.

Some characters rank in our Tier List multiple times where they can fit multiple roles, for example Raiden Shogun who can be a Main DPS, Sub DPS and Support. Many support characters do have the ability to provide off-field damage or apply an element however if there is a significant difference then they have been omitted.

Tier lists can be great for showing a rough estimate of a character's performance relative to other characters in their role. Please know that every character in Genshin Impact is viable regardless of their ranking and can clear all content with enough investment. Make sure to pick the character you like and want over the character that performs better!

Below are the most recent changes to our tier list which is the changes in patch 7.2 which focuses on the release of Mitya and Valeriy.

Our Tier List for Genshin Impact groups characters as either a Main DPS, Sub DPS or a support.

• Main DPS: A character who spends the majority of their time on-field in the team to deal massive damage.
• Sub DPS: Characters that have good elemental application to create Elemental Reactions for the team or deal high amounts of damage while off-field.
• Support: Healers, Shielders and buffers. These characters may also deal some damage while off-field but their value lies in the supportive utility they give the party.

Characters are then ranked in their respective role based on D to S+ rankings based on their damage, ease of play, elemental application, buffs they provide to the team and how widely used they are.

Characters in the same tier are simply in alphabetical order and generally speaking it is pointless to compare characters in the same tier due to them rarely overlapping directly in roles and having different elements that allow them to be more or less suitable based on the fight.
