this video took so insanely long to make i really hope you enjoyed
and would really appreciate Likes & Subs 😀
vid is longer than usual because i really wanted to explain everything. Hope that’s okay!
there are way too many overrated and underrated characters. I tried to explain why in this video.
keep in mind this is my opinion, but it is trying to be as objective as possible given the criteria listed at the beginning of the video.
xiangling and beidou are broken, the math says it and my testing proves it …

Keep in mind this list is based on a set criteria and is almost objective given the specific context of this video (which you CAN disagree with, since I chose the criteria subjectively). This video took me insanely long to research and make, and I really wanted to give an honest ranking of the best DPS in Genshin Impact. Too many of the popular DPS characters have been very overrated for too long. But with all that being said, you should always play who you enjoy 😀
Please watch the ENTIRE video before making up your mind, this vid was quite stressful for me to upload so I really hope you like it!
(also i think #3 and #2 are very close)
I laugh that he really thinks beidou out dps Eula(even at c0) KEKW Eula ascencion stat is Crit DMG and Beidou element is easily the worst element in the game. So not only is eula easier to build for f2p but her ascencion is astronomically better which is important in late game. Zy0x took a big F when comparing the two.
As a fellow dps albedo main im toxic enough to like this vid to outscale the unlikes of my comrades
Guoba is op for dealing 25k+ melt damage
my friend who has a ganyu/hutao combo thing going on:
Xiangling has really come a long way. At 1.0 she was like a S tier support, but then she was so underrated that i rarely saw her mentioned in discussion about team comp. And now, as we can see, she is no longer a sup-dps, but a top tier dps herself.
25:20 WAIT WHERE'S THE REST OF IT I'M INTERESTED–
Shit video
Kinda weird seeing eula at 5 since shes the character that has hit the most dmg in genshin
I think Hutao can do a bit of AoE damage, it depends on how you charge attack, positioning, and how quick you animation cancel. By timing your animation cancels, you can switch between quick cancels, single target, highest DPS and a bit of a delayed cancel, charge attack thru a few enemies, not as high DPS. Of course, you have to position her where she can charge thru them all back and forth. This works well with groups of enemies who are close to each other.
But I have to say, no matter what, stamina management is such a pain and it always screws me over ;-;
I think this ranking is great but I'm a forever diluc main and the ending so true I was carried by a Barbara the other day
Zy0x can we have a conversation about balanced characters always being put into a support role or characters that are brand new getting put as support before investing(kazuha) but its is just a suggestion
the mona drawing made me die of laughter oml
For me personally I don't struggle much with the fact that hu tao doesn't have much aoe since I always use an anemo cc character and charge through the whole group. With xiangling I struggle to use her pyronado because I feel like I cant keep the targets "far away" enough to let them get hit by it. Just my personal opinion tho 🙂 im also biased as a hu tao mains obviously:p
omg thank u for including the best dps barbara !
Hey, do you any team comp for abyss 12 2nd team only with 4 star characters?? I really need it since I only have one good cryo unit, Eula. But she doesn't break the herald's that well…
Every time I feel down (from anything), I just watch a video saying Ganyu is the best dps because as a ganyu main, it just lifts me up to know the character I’m maining is praised
this vid was so refreshing! you can really see the effort you put into it. one of my fav genshin ccs fr 🙂
very good video and I certainly agree with the list. Even tho I haven't played beidou myself and am very suprised by her new hype.
Though I think we shouldn't reduce Eula to much on her Burst. On normaly Abyss runs your normal attacks easily do 16-20k a hit and she attacks very fast for a calymore character. Also her skill on 2 stacks does amazing damage. I still wouldn't put her higher then 5th place since she really struggle in destroying shields and relies on her team for that. Still really greatful that there is at least one phys dps in top tier.
What your opinion on klee?

Favorizes….
Favors.
ganda video
Your Mona drawing was trash.
Lol
me finding keqing because im a keqing main ahhahh
"Damage per screenshot." I don't know why that's so fricking funny LMAOO
I agree mostly with this list, except for the placement of Xiao and Hu Tao. I think they're in the same placement, around 3.5-ish. While I do agree that the current content have a lot of AoE, most of them are just trash mobs that can be killed in less than 100k damage. And if you build your team specifically for it, Hu Tao weakness of having no AoE become non-existence, because a Kazuha or Venti can easily wipe out those mobs by themselves, leaving the bigger mobs to Hu Tao to handle, like in 12-2 part 1.
My point is that in the current state of the game, fights that require a consistent level of high AoE DPS from Xiao doesn't exist, kinda mirror your point of it not having any fight that is pure single target. Even in 12-1, if you play correctly and group them together properly, you can easily hit both target with Hu Tao, so its not even that different in run time. Conversely, in fight that require high single target damage, like 12-3, Hu Tao is decidedly better, both at taking the Lector down to low HP and at breaking his shield. But that is just her being more suited for it I guess.
IMO, after the buff to swirl, making it the king of AoE, having a stronger single target main carry become much better and more future proof, because you can easily build your support for better AoE with Anemo, but strong single target DPS support is fairly rare. But that is coming from a Hu Tao main, so I'm bias I guess.
me waiting for the dendro region hoping the archon is a dps as he should be the first male catalyst unless the god of wisdom just don't use a book for whatever reason.
Beidou is planned to be a free character when 2.0 drops, correct? Maybe I dreamt it.
I only have a c0 xiangling cri
Where’s Lisa??
here a keqing main..
And this boys, is what we call "the correct opinion"
Lol at the last secondes !! ^^
Indeed, Barbara as an insane scaling on her charge attack, as good as Yanfei C6 ! And she can vaporize and freeze too !!
I use to play her for the fun with my C6 Fischl because of the constant reaction with Oz (I don't have Childe and Xinqiu wasn't build at the time)
