Are Version 1 Characters Still Good? | Genshin Impact



Now that we’re entering verison 4 of Genshin Impact, I wanted to make a fun tier list video on all the characters released in version 1 to see where they stand: if they’re still good, no longer good, or were never good! (Reminder this is all for fun, please do not take this as objective fact)

  1. I think you're a bit too harsh on Yanfei, she's the only non-melee Pyro DPS that's not a bow character aside from Klee, and her damage output is pretty damn respectable, especially if you don't like using Klee because of her clunkiness. She's just a somewhat less powerful but more comfortable alternative to Klee imo.

  2. okey i was good with everything, even tho i think jean for being an anemo suport sould beat least one tier higher but it was good…. but lisa in "never good" she is realley good for physical team, some taser but now that we have aggravete and hyperbloom she is honestly really good, hyperbloom or aggravete + her def sherd…. she is better than kaeya at least, is not god tier but she works really good with dendro and other electro characther…. everyone talks about kaeya and forget miss lisa…. (and rosaria is also better than kaeya unless you don't want to stay in one place and want to move around, but there best use case is permaforst so…)
    all the other i think the same, i love u ninguang but geo is just not good…

  3. Aint no way this dude put Lisa in the same tier as Amber & Anemo MC 💀

    Lisa's great bro; she's electro, deals a lot of damage, has a pretty good debuff, and can provide good buffs with artifacts and weapons (especially cuz she's a catalyst user).

    Not to mention, C4 Lisa is arguably the best unit for Hyperbloom.

  4. Conflicted on the Ninguang placement. Today she’s still one of the best 4 stars for personal damage, which would suggest she’s good, but none of her teams are meta. You can make her teams work, but there’s always better options.

  5. Yo, they should totally make 5-star variants of the power five characters. Imagine Fischl, but she's not Chūnibyō anymore, she's actually just the real deal. She'll be the final boss in the game, trying to take over the world.

  6. I would like a 2.0 review since Inazuma is my favorite generation of 5-stars. Three years in, I don't think Hoyo has a clear idea of what they want 4-stars to be. They over tuned many initially, then under powered them and now they are either C6 dependent or heavily niche.

  7. I was gonna regret my Childe pull that I was saving for Neuvillette but I really, REALLY, love his playstyle and his smug b*stard personality and I couldn’t resist. When I got him I was like, oh, there goes Neuvillette, and I felt kinda regretful, but after I tested him on a Hyperbloom team and a Vapourise Team, yeah no, I do not regret him. This tier list has given even more assurance that I don’t have to regret him. Thank you Vars

  8. I kinda regret not getting a copy of her from the shop since I have yet to pull her. And only c0 sucrose, who after using c1 on my other accounts feels really lacking still.

  9. Hard disagree on Razor. How the devs intended for a character to be used is irrelevant and a stupid argument if the character happens to be better in another really good role. Its not a Hyperbloom Eula or Tankfei situation, all of Razor's kit focus on dealing electro damage, the only reason you can play him physical is his ascension stat. Pretty dumb that this was your argument when you also make League content and it happened multiple times that Riot designed a unit for one role,only for them to be more suited for another one after player testing.

    I also disagree on Venti. He fits more on the extremly niche but I would put him on still good because the niche comes relatively often. He is the best option when the situation calls for him, but Hoyo has changed the entire enemy design to counter him.

  10. I'm going to be the one to say it, Eula is still only relevant in her niche because she is the only real physical 5☆, she can't be benched because she is basically the only option

    For the Eula simps, don't get me wrong, but without competition, she became the best of a playstyle that Genshin does not encourage. Even when she got her support, it was barely an upgrade to her teams compared to Diona's heals and shield and Rosaria's physical shred at c6

  11. ganyu, while not really "meta" anymore, I feel is still unmatched in one area: open world
    it's just so easy to do things like quickly completing daily commissions, pulled for her on her latest banner despite having ayaka and i don't regret it one bit

  12. To be frank Venti should be in the benched category. After all a good chunk of enemies can resist or simply ignore his Burst. And without his Burst, Venti is nothing.
    Also the horrible targeting on it has never been fixed.

  13. I agree with this "tier" by 70%.

    It's mostly agreeable but not really. Like for ex, if Barbara can fall into the "good but niche" category then Yanfei should follow. And I'd say Qiqi was "never good to begin with". Everyone agrees on that.

  14. I use Xinyan on a bloom and Burgeon team with Nahida and Kokomi, and I love using her. Though I will admit that Nahida, Kokomi, and my final team member Shinobu carry her a LOT.

  15. I agree to most of it, but I beg to differ on Ningguang. I was a Ningguang main for a year and realized how weak the Geo because of lack of reactions. Unless were talking about C0, Ningguang can dish out tons of damage per rotation. You can even dish out 60K per hit on the video, come on now. The only downside of her is that she is a Geo and thus deserve at least the Bench tier.

  16. Imma be honest while lisa was never good before dendro she was still ok enough to work well in f2p taser teams

    But post dendro

    Shes just an aggravate monster for her class as she out dpses cyni and yae (which is still pretty mid but a solid spot nonetheless). She also can enable hob prtty well because of her burst snapshotting en buffs

  17. Nice vid! Do you feel like some people might build QiQi for Neuvillette? With his playstyle (his moving charged attacks + buffs from hp loss and gain) I feel like her kit would work well with him lol
