Genshin Impact 4.0 lively and quickly expanding cast of characters allows players to mix and match to form the perfect team of four. What's unique about the game is the characters' ability to shine and change roles with the right artifacts, stats, and weapons, so don't be afraid to use your best girl or boy—regardless of how they rank! But to form a team of best-in-slots and save for upcoming banners, take a look at our Genshin Impact Character tier list (4.0).
Best Genshing Impact Characters (4.0), Ranked
Best Genshin Impact Characters (Rank S)
The Rank S lineup of Genhin Impact characters comprises some of the game's best powerhouses and supports who can seamlessly fit into almost any team comp—while doing their jobs perfectly. I find that these characters can always get the job done, whether in the latest Abyss round or against the newest Weekly Boss battle.

Rank A Characters in Genshin Impact
Rank A characters in Genshin Impact are only a smidge less powerful than their Rank S counterparts, but they're not to be underestimated. You may need to put in more effort building teams around these characters to make them shine, but they're great at what they do. If you think you need help in that process, use Genshin Impact codes.

Rank B Characters in Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact Rank B heroes are notorious for lacking versatility and need a little more investment to shine. Another character with similar skills can outclass them, but with the right gear and team comp, they can perform just as well as higher-ranked characters.

Rank C Characters in Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact characters in the Rank C tier are harder to build and are more particular about artifact stats to bring out their best possible damage output. While they lack overall utility, they can perform well when paired with team members who can bring out the best in their abilities.
| Avatar | Character | Rank | Role | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Aloy | C | Sub-DPS | |
 | Barbara | C | Support | |
 | Candace | C | Sub-DPS | |

 | Kaeya | C | Sub-DPS | |
 | Lisa | C | Sub-DPS | |
 | Thoma | C | Sub-DPS | Support |
Rank D Characters in Genshin Impact
Rank D characters from the Genshin Impact tier list suffer from low multipliers or bugs and are difficult to slot into teams. There's also usually a better character with similar abilities but more damage and utility, so it may not be easy to put resources into them. But if you love them, don't let their rank stop you from bringing out their best!
| Avatar | Character | Rank | Role | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Amber | D | Main DPS | Sub-DPS |
 | Traveler (Anemo) | D | Sub-DPS | |
 | Traveler (Geo) | D | Sub-DPS | |
 | Xinyan | D | Main DPS | Sub-DPS |
