Genshin Impact Tier List: Best Pulls at Level 1

Today’s update roundup is focused on a new “who to pull” guide for Genshin Impact: a character tier list that ranks the game’s available roster from top-tier picks down to those you should replace as soon as you can. The list is framed around a baseline assumption—characters are evaluated at level 1, without unlocking constellations or talents—so it’s meant as a starting point for planning your teams and gacha priorities.

Announcement: a tier list with a baseline level-1 evaluation

The new guide presents tier categories from SS+ through C, plus role-focused rankings for players who want quick answers for combat, support, healing, and exploration. It also includes an explicit note that rankings may change later as the meta evolves, but the goal is ongoing updates based on community consensus and the current metagame.

Key evaluation rules: characters are assessed in their base starting state (level 1), with no constellations and no talents unlocked.

What changed: tier structure and role-based top 5 lists

Introduced tier categories: SS+, S+, S, A, B, and C.
Added a “best for combat (DPS)” list with the top 5 picks.
Added a “best support (Sub DPS)” list with the top 5 picks.
Added a “best support and healing” list with the top 5 picks.
Added a “best for exploration” list with the top 5 picks.
Included a recommended 4-character team concept with role tags for each slot.

Platform scope: single-game guide covering the current roster

This is a Genshin Impact character guide covering the characters currently available in the game at the time of the update. The ranking framework is designed for players planning builds and team roles, especially when deciding who to prioritize in gacha pulls.

Top-tier sections included in the guide: the list outlines what each tier represents (SS+ for the best/most “essential,” S+ for standouts that are “nearly mandatory,” and so on down to C for characters that should be replaced when possible).

What comes next: role recommendations and a sample “best team”

Beyond the tier categories, the guide provides several immediate, role-based recommendations:

Best characters for combat (DPS) — top 5

1- Sandrone
2- Viajero (Cryo)
3- Wriothesley
4- Cyno
5- Zibai

Best characters as support (Sub DPS) — top 5

The guide also reiterates that the tier list may shift over time as new information, patches, and the metagame change—so players using it for pull planning should treat it as a living baseline rather than a final verdict.
