  2. I'm quite puzzled by the fact that Albedo is higher than Yae. Okay she might need more time in the field but her damage is higher than albedo and is much easier to build since she will only use 2 sets of 2 pc compared to albedo needing a 4 pc set.

  5. I feel like this fandom likes to use Xinyan as the butt of the joke or disrespect at times. She’s really good especially when you have Ittos weapon on her. I want to see more Genshin content creators making more in-depth character analysis vids instead of “Haha Xinyan” content

  6. Damn right for promoting Kaeya. He was my main and carry through the entire main storyline, I have him at C2 and I'm only now getting some more 5-stars and building them while waiting for Sumeru. Kaeya's kit may be a little annoying to use on its own, but when paired with Chongyun and Xingqiu he's a monster, and now he's also getting to shine as Ayato's budget burst support – icicle circle and water slashes go brrrr

  7. I'd probably put Ayato in the SS tier just before or after Hu Tao. Since this is a F2P/low spender tier list the fact that he's so flexible should warrent him a better placement over above him

  8. You fucking itto haters try doing that 300k damage every single hit. Come on, where the f are ya hiding? make a fucking video where that water boi does constant 300k damage.

    Itto does constant 40-70k damage. Yh, that is constant. Doesn't matter what bullshit enemy ya face, its constant damage. And with the team, even the enka heralds and lectors die too quickly. It never took me more than one itto burst to take down their shields. Never. It could be any shield, doesn't matter.

    Show me childe doing 300k against hydro enemies. You can't show shit. Itto does like even more damage against geo enemy. Like zhongli shred is enough to kill anything. Your 300k bullshit is for showcase only with who knows what food and potions. Don't talk shit when ya can't even maintain constant damage. Its like saying eula hit 1 million damage. Lol try doing that in actual fight.

    i am going to put your channel to "never show this shit channel ever again" option. Ya shit are just itto haters.

  10. Kazuha and Ayaka have eluded me for some time. Definitely more motivated to try and save for Ayaka but I’ll admit I do really want Venti to complete my archon collection.

  12. Yoimyia is in such a hard to pin spot. sometimes she's better then Hu Tao and other times she way worse, and other times she is the best in the game. For Hu Tao the need for c1 and a 5-star weapon is a must. c0 hu tao is usually worse than c0 yoimyia. however depending on the enemies, c0 yoimyia even beats c2 Hu Tao. Specters, slimes, and big single target ruin enemies are the best for yoimyia due to the fact that she can plow damage with no worry of her own safety, not having to move also lets her take advantage of many supports. they both use the same set (shiminawese isn't worth it), so Witch of embers is a easy to get set. as well yoiymyia has a extra support at her disposal, Yun Jin. this one character basically allows for yoimyia to basically be the best pryo character for her E up-time. Adding in kazuha and xingqui and no character can out damage her by her doing 100K per shot almost. However in terms of just one single character, Hu tao is better. now everyone who hates Yoimyias burst, i get it, but its also something that is very useful. yoimyias burts can allow for her supports or another main-dps to take the main dps role as yoimyias cooldown is up, and do extra damage. yoimyia and Ayato work so well together as swicthing main-dps. basiclly. she is S tier. you cannout tell me noelle beats Yoimyia due to Noelles buffs cuz yoimyia got the same buffs.

  18. As someone who used Noelle up to fight with Shogun and now started using Itto – both are amazing and well deserved S rank: Itto's damage is bonkers (even if his super slash sometimes hits weird targets) and Ushi is pretty amazing as a bait plus additional damage; Noelle is much weaker when it comes to dmg but having fought a lot of rift hounds, her shield and universal heal are so useful.

    I still need to work on Gorou, from everything I see he seems to be really useful for my Geo teams.

  22. It's just my opinion. don't hate me, pls. But I think kazuha, bennett, zhongli, hu tao and xingqiu are overrated, i have them all and i don't think they break the game like people say. But I still think they deserve tier ss.

  23. As a Klee main I know exactly what I’d want from a rework to have Klee not get power crept.
    And all it takes is reworking her constellations and/or her natural kit a little.
    I’d add on to C1-C2 that Klee gets a third Jumpty Bumpty. There is such a long cooldown going get your E back, and Klee would work a lot smoother in combat with 3 Es instead of her normal 2.
    I would completely redo her C6, maybe lose the energy recharge and instead have where specifically only Klee’s charged attacks have a 20-25% crit rate boost because of all the bonuses Klee gets from a crit on her charged attacks. Then Klee wouldn’t have to hold as high crit rate as is normally expected on her kit. I think a perfect Klee would be 50 crit rate/250 crit dmg (mine is currently 42/240) WITH the added changes to her kit that I mentioned above.

  24. Happy member of the Noelle Fan Club over here; she can carry you from start to finish in this game and is a great example of how early, F2P characters can remain relevant. Doesn't matter where you put Diluc because Diluc lovers will have him well enough built by now to do whatever he needs to do. Xinyan down there just waiting for her moment. I predict Ayato will break through to the S-tier in time. And yeah, I'm one of those many budget players with an Elegy collecting dust, hoping to get my hands on Venti or Yelan.

  25. The list is great over all, but I feel that there should be some significant placement changes. 1. Xiangling should be demoted to S-tier. At the end of the day, she is entirely dependent on Bennet, a top 2 supporter in the game, and hogs him for almost all her teams. She rewards the investment, but the sheer dependency should see her demoted. A lot of characters like Bennet. She NEEDS Bennet.
    2. Sucrose should be promoted to SS. She's really not that far behind Kazuha. He does have better CC, and he'll boost Freeze teams whereas Sucrose doesn't really, but she offers comparable utility in any other team depending on her weapon and team composition.
    3. Either Kokomi needs to be demoted to A tier, or Jean needs to be promoted to S-tier. They do the same thing. Initiate their element's utility alongside healing while they are either not doing as much damage as their counterparts, or buff less. Jean applies VV, and while she has not the greatest CC, she has it. If you ran triple EM artifacts with a maxed Iron sting give the party a 29-32%(Wanderer's) damage bonus (still great, but it's not an insane difference in buffing/debuffing from him to Jean). That is what's sacrificed by bringing Jean as the healer. For Kokomi VS Mona, as an example, Kokomi does have higher utility through her longer lasting hydro application, but doesn't do much off-field damage like Mona does, and the team then lacks Mona's 60% bonus damage for the party. That's twice the damage boosting loss going from Kazuha to Jean. Why does Kokomi get this massive pass for damage losses and enabling role consolidation when Jean's more accessible and has been doing so for far longer? If the response is Sucokokomon, my counterargument is sunfire Jean's utility.

  26. Oh man put thoma down with xinyan. They are very similar, both can steal vapes from hutao. Amber is better than both. No need shield… haha. Maybe they will be good after yelan is released

  27. lol please dont put xinyan there hahaha, I liked the short frames on her e with a good amount of energy recharge from it, I used inazuman claymore on her, with tenecity milelith full of defenses. I usually put her with a party consist of eula raidan & bennet, or a full melt ganyu with xiangling and ofc bennet again.

  28. The special tier is interesting but at the same time I also think its kinda messy. If were going to be talking about niches, then that means were already going to be talking about character roles. Gorou's general role is a damage buffer but since he buffs defense, that puts him in a spot where he can only really buff specific characters making him niche. While I'd argue that for a f2p tier list, sara without c6 is probably more likely, and without c6 sara doesnt really have a niche. Another addition that I think would be great to the special tier is chongyun, since he's really the only character in the game right now that can give characters a free cryo infusion. These niches makes them stand out but that also means other characters niches, although they may not be as obvious, need to be evaluated too however and means that theyll need to be evaluated too with the release of the special tier. An example of this can be Childe and Xingqiu, both of them fill the niche of hydro applicator but I'd argue that Childe does it better since he has aoe and can apply cryo to multiple enemies while xingqiu's is single target but can be used off field. I think this just shows that tier lists in genshin are messy and are really just not a good way to analyze characters. Just a thing I think should change with the tier list too is qiqi and barbara's positions since the husk set came out.

  34. i have both childe and kokomi and i main both of them and im pretty sure kokomi should be higher up on this tier list, at least above childe. She just provide so many things with the ttds and tenacity of the millelith atk buff, hydro aplication off and on field, a lot of healing and if used wiith the clam set she can also be a a viable sub dps.

  39. I disagree with the Qiqi one, my previous stance being the same. Qiqi is the only 5 star in the game that can solo the entire game even 20 levels under level with bad artifacts. That said I think every character that is Cryo is now at least A tier because of Shenhe.
    (Abyss excluded. No character can Solo it)

  40. Hey iwintolose I appreciate the effort you put to your tier list every patch, but I think it would be more fair if we separate DPS chars and support chars to different tier lists for a clearer comparison. E.g having Kokomi and sucrose above Eula just doesn’t make a lot of sense as to what it means.
