Genshin Impact 5-star character tier list (December 2024)

Genshin Impact's Natlan arc continues in December 2024 and has introduced several new playable characters. With older units getting a rerun, players must build their teams based on the ongoing Abyss blessings alongside characters that excel in either DPS, sub-DPS, support, amplifier, or healer.

This article will list the characters based on their usage and viability in December 2024. Things that have been taken into account while creating the tier list are as follows:

• Abyssal Blessing of v5.2.
• Usage rate and respective powers in the roles each character plays.

It should always be noted that players are free to build any characters they please, and someone else's opinion should not dictate their accounts.

SS tier

The SS tier section of this list has the most powerful characters in the current version of the game, both in general and in the Spiral Abyss. Here is a list of all characters in the topmost tier:

• Xilonen
• Furina
• Neuvillette
• Arlecchino
• Alhaitham
• Nahida
• Baizhu
• Kazuha
• Zhongli
• Yelan

Many characters like Neuvillette, Arlecchino, and Alhaitham are part of this tier due to being the best DPS units in the game. Other characters, however, are in the same tier because of their supporting abilities. Nahida, Furina, and Kazuha are still some of the best-supporting units in the game, fitting for any team and character.

• Chasca
• Mualani
• Kinich
• Navia
• Wriothesley
• Lyney
• Emilie
• Yae Miko
• Ayaka
• Raiden Shogun
• Kokomi
• Hu Tao
• Xianyun
• Shenhe
• Tartaglia (Childe)
• Mona
• Jean

Players will find a lot of DPS characters that are considered hyper-carries with their respective elements. Note that the S tier is not inferior to the SS tiers.

A tier

Here are all the characters in the A tier of December 2024:

• Clorinde
• Chiori
• Nilou
• Tighnari
• Wanderer
• Itto
• Ayato
• Ganyu
• Xiao
• Albedo
• Venti

This part of the list is a little weird for F2P players and whales. While some of these characters can do a decent job in playing their roles, they are not as broken as the characters mentioned in the SS tier.

B tier

Here is a list of all the characters in the B tier:

• Sigewinne
• Cyno
• Yoimiya
• Diluc
• Klee
• Qiqi
• Eula
• Keqing

These characters are weaker in comparison with their peers and require multiple conditions to perform well. Hence, the upper-tier characters can serve much better with fewer investments.

---

C tier

The characters in the lowest tier of this Genshin Impact tier list include:

• Dehya
• Aloy

These characters in the C tier fail to stand the test of time and remain some of the weakest in their kit and output. Unless they are your favorite characters lore-wise, it is better to avoid wasting your materials building them.
