Genshin Impact Luna V Tier List
Our Tier List for Genshin Impact organises characters into 3 roles. A Main DPS, Sub DPS and Support. Click their icons to open a characters build guide!
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!
Genshin Impact Luna V Tier List Changes and Additions
Below are the most recent changes to our tier list which is the changes in patch Luna V which focuses on the release of Varka.
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Varka | Varka is undeniably a strong DPS in Nod-Krai however, compared to the very top Nod-Krai damage dealers, he falls slightly short in terms of peak scaling and synergy potential. What sets him apart though, is that he doesn't rely on Columbina to function at a high level. Unlike Zibai, Nefer and Flins who are heavily incentivised to compete for Columbina's support to reach their full damage. As a Hexerei character we are still expecting more support, most likely Nicole. There's strong potential for his output to increase significantly and better position him among Nod-Krai's top DPS options. |
Tier List Explanations and Ranking Criteria
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.
