1. Tier List Criteria and Mondstadt Character Evaluation
- The tier list is based on overall impact, considering both main DPS and support roles.
- Evaluating in order, starting with Mondstadt characters.
- Lisa: C Tier because her performance is unknown.
- Amber: Low usability.
2. Noelle and Barbara Evaluation
- Noelle: Useful in the early game, capable of 30% healing, barrier, and damage.
- Barbara: Good as an early-game healer, but falls behind other healers in the late game.
3. Sucrose and Fischl Evaluation
- Sucrose: Good in both early and late game, can gain elemental damage bonus upon breakthrough (A Tier).
- Fischl: Can be used for sub-DPS and damage buffing when equipped with Royal Artifacts (A Tier).
4. Kaeya Evaluation
- Kaeya: Very good synergy with Xiangling, can even clear Spiral Abyss (A Tier).
5. Bennett and Ningguang Evaluation
- Bennett: A core support character that hasn't been absent from version 1.0 to 5.6 (S Tier).
- Ningguang: Can reach A Tier if well-built as a Geo main DPS.
6. Beidou and Chongyun Evaluation
- Beidou: Used a lot in the early game, can be used in Yoimiya Overload parties (B Tier).
- Chongyun: Good burst damage, but skills are ambiguous.
7. Xiangling and Xingqiu Evaluation
- Xiangling: Best friends with Venti, good even with C0 (S Tier).
- Xingqiu: Devours the early game with Xiangling in Vaporize comps (S Tier).
8. Diona Evaluation
- Diona: Provides shields, has a skill that increases elemental mastery upon reaching level 70 (A Tier).
- The shield is small, but the movement speed increase effect is useful for early exploration.
9. Rosaria and Yanfei Evaluation
- Rosaria: Cryo sub-DPS, increases crit rate upon burst activation (positioned behind Ningguang).
- Yanfei: Slightly lacking at C0, but a decent 4-star main DPS (A Tier).
10. Sayu and Sara Evaluation
- Sayu: Used when a healer is needed, decent mobility (similar level to Barbara and Diona).
- Sara: Would have been S Tier in version 2.0.
11. Thoma Evaluation
- Thoma: Provides barrier and continuous Pyro application, decent when using normal attacks.
- Getting better as Overload comps are becoming more popular recently (positioned next to Kaeya).
12. Gorou and Yun Jin Evaluation
- Gorou: Used to be Itto's loyal hound, but now he's just a country dog (C0 is useless).
- Yun Jin: Increases party members' normal attack damage based on defense (B Tier).
13. Kuki Shinobu Evaluation
- Kuki Shinobu: If you increase her EM in Hydro and Dendro parties, you can clear almost anything (S Tier).
- Could be the strongest among the 4-stars.
14. Shikanoin Heizou Evaluation
- Shikanoin Heizou: Fun main DPS.
15. Collei Evaluation
- Collei: Her tier has risen thanks to Shinobu, as there are few Dendro replacement characters (between C and S).
16. Dori Evaluation
- Dori: Electro sub-DPS, elemental recharge with burst.
17. Candace Evaluation
- Candace: Imbues normal attacks with Hydro with her burst, fun (B Tier).
18. Layla Evaluation
- Layla: Decent shield amount and can apply Cryo (between A and S).
- Dedicated supports like Faruzan often have trouble finding their place.
19. Disappointment with Dedicated Supports
- Dedicated supports for specific characters like Gorou (Itto), Sara (Raiden), and Faruzan (Wanderer) are disappointing in terms of performance.
- The lesson is that you need to make good friends.
20. Yaoyao Evaluation
- Yaoyao: Applies Dendro well and has a huge healing burst (same level as Fischl).
- There are almost no Dendro healers.
21. Kaveh Evaluation
- Kaveh: Top tier nuke, one-shots bosses, planners, and users.
22. Mika Evaluation
- Mika: Provides attack speed and healing, works well with Eula (A Tier).
- Early normal attacks are important, gives a lot of attack speed.
23. Kirara Evaluation
- Kirara: Feels like a combination of Layla and Yaoyao, applies Dendro at C4 (A Tier).
- Wall climbing one-trick.
24. Lynette Evaluation
- Lynette: Provides mobility like Yelan and increases bow damage, useless.
25. Freminet Evaluation
- Freminet: I think he's better than Yanfei even at C0.
- Also good for exploring Fontaine.
26. Charlotte Evaluation
- Charlotte: Has burst healing (similar to Barbara) (A Tier).
27. Chevreuse Evaluation
- Chevreuse: Costs ₩240,000 to pull, 40% resistance shred (S Tier).
- There are still many parties that use her a lot.
28. Sethos Evaluation
- Sethos: The only 4-star character to deal 1 million damage (S Tier).
- Sometimes even beats 5-star DPS characters.
29. Sethos Evaluation (Continued)
- Sethos: Difficult to use and only decent in specific situations as an Electro DPS.
30. Katarina Evaluation
- Katarina: Wall climbing one-trick, works well with artifact sets (B Tier).
31. Olorun Evaluation
- Olorun: Good as a support for Natlan characters and useful in Electro-Charged teams (B Tier).
32. Disappointment with Anemo 4-Star Characters
- Anemo 4-star characters have low usability other than for exploration.
- If the shield is good, B Tier, if the profile picture is pretty, placed above B Tier.
33. Yansa Evaluation
- Yansa: An attack-based attack buff character, a good character that came out after a long time.
- Doesn't reach Kaveh's damage, but has good mobility and can do body shots (B Tier).
- I think Ipa might be useful too.
34. Final Tier List and Closing
- The final tier list includes personal bias.
- If you have the characters on the tier list, the game becomes easier.
