Version 6.0 - Luna I Tier List Changes
6.0 Release Changes (September 10, 2025)
| Name | Tier Updates |
|---|---|
|
Lauma
|
Support & Sub-DPSNEWUpdated: Directly replacing Nahida on both Sub-DPS and Support roles for Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions, Lauma provides the resurgence of Dendro the element has been sorely lacking as of late. Lauma provides off-field Dendro application, Dendro and Hydro shred, and also enables the Lunar-Bloom reaction, which is basically an AoE nuke. While not as fancy as Lunar-Charged, the damage Lunar-Blooms can bring is no joke. We're expecting Lauma to be the Support to someone catering for the Lunar-Bloom reaction in the future, and because she drastically improves characters focused on Dendro reactions like Nilou, we're placing her at SS immediately. |
|
Aino
|
Sub-DPS NEWOur yearly new free 4-star, Aino is only rated at C0 at the moment and will be re-rated again once her actual banner with Flins arrives. Aino has several issues in her kit that comes down to numbers (extremely low DMG multipliers) and team-specific requirements (Nod-Krai reliant), and the fact that she benefits characters with Lunar reactions but she herself doesn't create one. However, she has access to off-field Hydro application with low Energy cost and long Burst duration, which is still high-value for most characters. It is quite obvious that Aino will be our placeholder for an eventual Hydro Nod-Krai character for the moment, which is why she will start at B-tier. We recommend getting her constellations once Phase 2 arrives as her C6 boosts Lunar Reaction DMG. |
| 6.0 Tier List Reevaluation | Characters that emphasize specific team comps and elemental reactions are given more weight than their flexibility due to them dominating in the meta. There is also an undeniable trend about powercreep, which is increasingly noticeable since Mavuika's release and late 5.X character releases. As such, some characters in their current tier, despite their universalities or ease of use, especially in the Main DPS list, are depreciated. This change also disbands the Dual Rating system as their best teams are prioritized more in this tier list. From hereon, we will show and explain all changes brought by this reevaluation. |
|
Nahida
|
Support & Sub-DPSUpdated: Lauma currently offers a sizable version of Nahida's C2 already at her base investment, as well as stronger personal damage and consistent Dendro Application. As such, Lauma now takes the role of supporting the relevant Bloom-related reactions. The only remaining place Nahida can be is on Aggravate or Spread teams, which is also not meta as of the moment, which is why we're also bringing down Nahida's Sub-DPS tier down as well. |
|
Zhongli
|
Support While still the most comfortable sustain in the game, the level of support newer characters give to teams as of late are more worth than what he can provide, even when considering newer players or F2Ps. |
|
Nilou
|
Sub-DPS Reinstatement of her S-tier ranking due to Lauma's release. In situations where her kit is normally bad against, like in Single-Target, Lauma now provides a means for her to be also viable on such scenarios. |
|
Ineffa
|
Support With Aino's debut and Flins' eventual release, Ineffa's value has grown stronger as she dominates Electro-weak matchups while being the sustain option for characters in her team like Neuvillette Lunar-Charged. |
|
Kokomi
Thoma
|
Sub-DPS Increased tier due to Lauma's release which benefits their best teams for Bloom and Burgeon respectively. |
Adjustments to Previous S-Tier |
Affects the following DPS units:
Affects the following Sub-DPS: Affects the following Supports: These characters naturally declined in priority as we get more powerful characters of their respective elements or best teams. |
|
Affects the following DPS units:
Affects the following Sub-DPS: Few use case in the current roster as they're now third or fourth choice for their team archetypes, but are still strong enough to be useful for Imaginarium Theater. |
|
Affects the following DPS units:
Affects the following Supports: These characters on their respective elements are already oversaturated and are only used as a free-to-play option. |
|
Affects the following DPS units:
Their main source of DMG has been long forgotten, and is not really worth the investment. |
| No Changes | Reevaluation will not affect the following DPS units for now:
These characters are still the best low-cost flexible DPS for their respective Elements. Neuvillette and Arlecchino are still great pick-ups that can fit in multiple team comps while also being self-sufficient, while Alhaitham is the best Hyperbloom DPS with Lauma, and Navia is the current best Geo DPS. |
| Other changes of note | •
 Kokomi
and
 Sucrose
Main DPS roles have been merged with Sub-DPS as they functionally work as quick-swap drivers.•
 Ayato
has been removed from the Sub-DPS role.• Increased tier order for the following Main DPS after 5.X and Lauma's release:
 Skirk
 Alhaitham
 Sethos
 Cyno
 Ifa

Tier List Criteria and Notes
Tier List Overview Criteria
As we theorize and test characters, they are not treated as a singular unit but as a core member in their best team comp. In other words, characters shall not be judged in isolation. Here you can check the summary of explanations for each tier:
| SS Tier |
Characters that stand out as one of the strongest units in their intended team comps, who also has the edge of potentially staying relevant for long periods of time, and dominates endgame without question in their best teams. Main DPS: The sheer damage potential ensures that their longevity can be maintained, not to mention their great ease of use and comfortability to defeat enemies. They greatly utilize existing and any potential future support units as they are able to be inserted in the best team comps within their respective elements. They are the best utilizers of the current best Sub-DPS and Supports and can dominate endgame with ease. Sub DPS: Characters who are the best Elemental Applicators and teammates in several top-tier team comps, all while having good damage of their own. Support: Universal buffer supports whose utility are essential to increase most top-tier team comps' overall damage and comfort, and sustain supports who offer the best talents to prevent your party from ever being wiped out while still having good offensive utility of their own. |
|---|---|
| S Tier |
Characters that reach their peak strength with the recommended amount of investment. There's only small rooms for improvement and they ensure that you can beat any content with ease. These are all the best characters in their respective elements but not quite as broken as the character in S-Tier Main DPS: The starting point of the best characters at the recommended level of investment. They can match up against the best characters in the highest tier but needs a little bit more investment in their weapons, constellations, or other equipment. Sub DPS: Characters with superb damage, or are often the core applicators for some relevant team comps in the game. There may be certain alternatives who are able to work better in a particular team comp. Support: Offers one of the best buffs or sustain in their own particular niche, but are less accessible if put to other team comps. |
| A Tier |
Characters who can only become strong with maximum investment on all aspects (artifacts, weapons, team comps, constellations) to achieve similar performance as the other characters in the upper tiers. This is the cut-off point for the strongest characters in their respective roles. Main DPS: Requires max investment on both their own and all three of their other teammates to be able to match up against characters in the upper tiers. Sub DPS: Good Elemental Applicators or damage dealers up until a point, who specifically shines in their own team comps. They are also often used in some niche or specialized team comps. Support: Offers specialized buffs or sustain, but have certain limitations in their own kits that prevents them from being more universal. |
| B Tier |
Characters with solid performance in their respective roles. They shine in specific team compositions, but not so much on their own. Main DPS: Characters who require max investment, but may still not be enough to compete against the best DPS in the game due to limitations on their kit, stats, or talent scalings, and gets no sufficient help from current meta units. Sub DPS: Decent Elemental Application and damage on their respective team comps, but are not entirely required on such parties. Support: Characters who are good on their intended role, but sees minimal usage from the top-tier team comps versus the other characters in the higher tiers. |
| C Tier |
Characters who can do the job for their respective role, but can be replaced quickly due to mere lack of good numbers from their talents or stats, or are stunted by their own cooldowns and energy requirement. Main DPS: Damage scaling is lower in comparison, but are able to do their job in the right team comp. More often than not, it's better to pick characters who can trigger better reactions. Sub DPS: Offers some manner of application and damage, but are stunted by their own scalings or rate of application. Support: Characters who can offer sustain or buffs and are decent at doing it. However, there exists better alternatives who are easier or more efficient to use in the long run. |
| D Tier |
Characters with limited combat utility. You can use these characters if you don't have anyone else, but we recommend replacing them with a better character for that role. Main DPS: Damage scaling is very low to be able to keep up, even against elite mobs. Sub DPS: Extremely niche and offers no real edge in terms of damage and application against characters in all other tiers. Support: Characters that have some manner of support, but are outright replaced with mediocre characters that are more accessible or useful in a given team comp. |
Role Breakdown
| Role | Function |
|---|---|
| Main DPS |
・The main damage dealer of the party, which is often the hypercarry, the on-field driver, or the trigger for Elemental Reactions. ・Damage dealt is mostly from the character being on-field for an extended period of time, often being the final character in your team's rotations. |
| Sub DPS |
・Providers of off-field damage and utility via Elemental Application. These characters focus on helping the Main DPS trigger reactions by setting up the necessary elements, while also dealing damage of their own. ・Characters with Talents that stay on the field even after being switched out. ・Characters with damaging talents that are meant for quick-swap teams. |
| Support |
・Provides support in the form of buffs, shields, heals, or crowd control via the use of their Elemental Skills, Burst or Passive Talents, and are primarily used off-field. ・Have Talents capable for elemental application, not necessarily for dealing damage. |
Tier List by Constellations
|
Constellation levels listed in the Main Tier List are considered the ideal level for that character's role. It is important to note that characters are evaluated in comparison with other characters in the current meta, and as such, may affect their rankings in all tier lists. For example: • Xingqiu's C6 is considered his optimal constellation and is thus ranked on that power level. • Hu Tao and Wriothesley C1 open up new playstyles and combat rotations, and so it may be considered as the better starting point before they are assessed on their power level. |
On Changes to the Tier List
Changes to a tier list is delicate and periodical, and we understand that any changes made to a tier is drastic and requires explanations. Below, you can find four scenarios within a patch's life cycle and our plan of action when it occurs:
| Scenario | Notes |
|---|---|
| A new character releases: Preliminary Rankings | Expect preliminary rankings for a character when they first release. These will not be their final rankings in the version and will always be subject to change. As we'll need time to test their kit out, we urge our readers to treat the rankings on their first week as temporary. These will now be denoted with aNEW symbol. |
| A character's banner will soon end: Final Rankings | Around a week before the new character's banner ends, we will be finalizing our thoughts about the character's tier. While we call this as the final rankings, characters released in the future may affect previous characters' overall performances. Those characters will be subjected to change as well. |
| Meta Shifts | Shifts to the combat system like new mechanics or the release of a powerful support character can shake up our tier list. A concrete example of this was Dendro shaking up the meta when it first released, resulting in characters like Shinobu, Keqing, and Thoma, to rise up in rankings. |
| Fixes | Feedbacks that explain in detail why a character may or may not be in the correct tiering can be reconsidered for deliberation. |

| 2/3/2024 | • Raiden reintroduced to Support Tier List. Initially we removed Raiden Shogun from the Support Tier List to follow through the ongoing simplification of the tier list, as most players who would play Raiden would focus more on her Main or Sub DPS capabilities (similar to Yelan as a Sub-DPS), but this change undervalued Raiden Shogun's support capabilities for her Energy Recharge and Burst buffs, and so we're quickly fixing her absence in this revamped support tier list. |

|---|---|---|---|
| Mavuika |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 A Thousand Blazing Suns
|
|||
| ・Absurdly high-scalings from her burst damage that can flex as either on-field, off-field or quick-swap. ・Strong in both Vaporize and Melt, which are the best reactions for damage as a Pyro character. ・Exploration ability combines most of the Natlan characters' strengths all in one character. |
|||
| Skirk |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 Azurelight
|
|||
| ・Dual Ranking of SS-tier with Escoffier, and S-tier without. Reliant to Escoffier to deal the damage required for a character released in 5.X. ・Extremely strong on her best teams in Freeze, but not without. ・Very fluid combat and easy-to-use controls, strong in the overworld while also having an Exploration quirk. |
|||
| Neuvillette |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 Tome of the Eternal Flow
|
|||
| ・Outstanding and constant damage on his Charged Attack damage. ・Self-sufficiency lets him be a one-man army. ・C1 constellation removes his major weaknesses. |
|||
| Arlecchino |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 Crimson Moon's Semblance
|
|||
| ・High raw Pyro damage even in non-Vaporize situations or Overloaded teams with Chevreuse. ・Normal Attacks are swift, have a wide AoE, while also having good damage to boot and simple to activate once you learn her rotations, which makes her viable in single target, AoE, and overworld content. ・Extremely high risk gameplay may be off-putting for some early-game players. |

 Vivid Notions
|
|||
| ・Plunge Attacker who has high base DMG to compensate the fact that she cannot do amplifying reactions unlike Gaming, but still stronger enough especially as she doesn't need that much investment with support of buffers who are relatively easy to access like Iansan or Chevreuse. ・Easy-to-use and smoother than most Plunge Attackers, which means her base potential is easily reached by any casual players. |
|||
 Mualani |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 Surf's Up
|
|||
| ・Frontloaded damage which is good on both single target and AoE, but will need proper setup. ・Playstyle performs best in Vaporize, with extremely good exploration abilities. ・Sharky's Bite can miss. |
|||
 Kinich |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 Fang of the Mountain King
|
|||
| ・Specializes in Burning or Burgeon teams, and excels on single-target situations. ・Extremely mobile playstyle and grappling hook is great for exploration, although it can be a struggle to use in combat on uneven surfaces. ・If Kinich is not on Burning or Burgeon teams, he gains Nightsoul points slower, which means you won't have enough Scalespiker Cannon to use. |
|||
 Chasca |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage
|
|||
| ・Specializes in Rainbow teams where she can convert her damage into other elements that is Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo, making her versatile in team-building. ・Flying is extremely useful in overworld exploration especially in Natlan. ・Bullets in AoE situations are split between enemies, essentially making her a single-target damage dealer. |

 Light of Foliar Incision

|||
| ・Dendro application is superb to set up and trigger powerful reactions like Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and Spread. ・Good AoE coverage and overall team damage is top-tier. He also requires minimal investment. |
|||
| Navia |
Weapon | Artifact | |
 Verdict
|
|||
| ・High frontloaded Elemental Skill damage that can instantly one-shot medium level opponents and chunk bosses per rotation. ・Her team allows high flexibility because she's not constricted by mono-Geo. ・Frontloaded damage has downsides when looking at damage over time. |
