Pre-Natlan Genshin Impact Meta Tier List (totally 100% accurate)



The Pre-Natlan Tier List has finally been made! I had it ready for some time, but had some reconsiderations, prep for another video, and mic issues that delayed the release of the video. Nonetheless, let me know what y’all think! Remember it’s okay to have different trains of thought about these rankings. At the end of the day, it’s Genshin. You can clear with basically anyone if you try hard enough (and the content isn’t hard elemental locked).

A mix of various Fontaine songs. I don’t remember all of them.

  1. REMINDER: EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION. I AM NOT THE GOD OF TIER LISTS OR META OR ANYTHING. ALSO it's a tier list and these aren't great for pinpointing character strengths/weaknesses. Don't follow things like this by law. AND PLEASE DO NOT BE WEIRD ABOUT IT IN DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU. <333

    Also, only thing I changed in tier list post-vid was putting Mika to T3, Sara to T4. Okay hope u have a great day/evening/night bye ^-^

    Edit 2: After rewatching the video alongside feedback, I'm noticing a lot of issues for the explanation of T0.5 to T1.5 as I think this is where stuff can get easily muddled (I kind of expected this but tried to the divide as concise as possible). I'll make note of this incase I feel like making another one of these when Natlan reaches its end. Thank you all as the comments have – for the most part – been either constructive, informative, and/or chill. I appreciate it!

  2. Kuki,Arle and Alhaitham are definitely higher
    you cannot for a Team without DPS and neuvillete isn't the only one, so they are definitely high tier meta.

    Zhongli too, He is one of the highest used unit since his release 4 years ago, if that's not meta, then nothing is

  3. Shenhe is t4, i have no idea how you could rank her above faruzan.
    I'd also rank the three cryo onfielders (ganyu, ayaka and wrio) all in the same placement, ganyu's melt team is still an advantage over ayaka not being able to run those as well, and her freeze team received a large buff with furina (this team also makes kazuha and venti be sidegrades, meaning she isnt locked to venti's matchups)

  4. This is a good list tbh, there are a lot of assumptions and consecions you need to make to be able to finish a tier list, and like, yeah, Lyney and Hu Tao definitely aren't on par with Arle, but you really can't put a lot of on-fielders on T0 (aside from Neuvi), so you would have to move them down to T1 and separate them too much. Overall, I like the enfasis on supports and characters like Raiden that strenghten and allow you to make a lot of teams in your account, great vid!

  5. Xiao in tier 1 is a joke, he was literally on wanderer level before xianyun 💀💀 since then he’s easily became tier 0.5
    Xiao premium is currently one of the best teams in the game and has higher dpr than Neuvi at equal investment with collision plunges, TGS did a video on this
    I get that everyone has different opinions, but you can’t say xiao got an increase with xianyun, but then place him in the spot he was at before her 💀

  6. Am I blind deaf and dumb or was Wanderer not talked about in detail at all like the rest of the characters? I even tried using ChatGPT to point me to a timestamp where you talk about him, can't find it

  7. Leaks coming out essentially saying that we're near the end of new elements, thus, invest heavily in strong characters and elements.
    Don't pull weaker characters, get constellations of strong characters instead.
    The two named from Natlan we must pull are Murata and Columbina.

  8. I must admit, I like and agree with most of the placements as in who's higher and who's lower. But a little bit of a constructive criticism would better work on how the tiers are formed, literally from tiers 0.5-1-1.5 etc, they are all basically the same based on your explanations. You could probably do something like 1>meta-defining 2>meta 3-niche 4-non-meta and be done with that. good job tho!keep it up!

  9. This is not accurate. Venti is not on the same tier as Xiao. Miko is not just relevant c6 Faruzan is not situational. Hmm it had some issues for sure. The other placements are acceptable I guess but these are put wrong. Venti is a situational character, Xiao is an onfield that requires c6 Faruzan or Xianyun so I guess he is also situational but the premium team still outputs similar damage to some of the other stronger ones, it's maybe not the most influential team in the game he still deserves more respect in current meta. YES he is short doesn't mean you have to go and disrespect him the guy has enough as it is.

  10. I think that this list was good, except maybe for Kaveh’s placement. The simple fact he is dendro already opens up a ton of options and if you only had the 4 star dendro characters to play, he would definitely be the best on-field option. His burst also increases bloom damage, which can be good for nilou or just any hyperbloom or burgeon teams.

  11. Why are the Fontaine chracters treated differently like it's not a fair comparison if some have C6 and others have C0 they should all be C0 or C6
    Plus why did you put keqing over itto and in the same tier as nilou or clorinde both WAY over her power level. Yes, Nilou may have a very limited number of teams but those teams destroy floor 12

  12. Unpopular opinion 😅 but dps’ like Navia/Lyney should be lower. While they are strong, they can only really be played in a few specific teams and Isn’t the best in all abysses. More flexible units like koko and baizhu should not be in the same tier as them.

  13. Props to hoyo (something I rarely say) for sort of managing power creep and letting characters like Xiao and dilic have a revival. Who knows maybe Ayato will have his turn too
