The 3.1 update for Genshin Impact was released along with a completely new region called Sumeru. The new update starts with a completely new banner that includes new characters such as Cyno, Nilou and Candace. With a total of 56 characters to choose from, some characters have shifted levels in terms of strength, synergies, and overall viability in the meta. This tier list will examine which characters are the strongest and strongest in the latest Genshin Impact 3.1 update.
Genshin Impact 3.1 Tier List: Current Game Condition
Characters play roles in a team and fall into one or more of the three categories, which are Primary DPS, Secondary DPS and Support. Some characters are powerful in all roles like the Electro Archon, And Shogun Raiden it’s a level SS in all categories, because of its all-round kit.
The hardest content in the game right now is Spiral abyss, that almost any character can complete depending on how much time and effort they put into farming artifacts. In contrast to a competitive Razor DPS, a high-level units such as Ayaka it will be appropriate for the primary DPS role and will require less effort. Although Razor it is a good unit and can deal a lot of damage, Hu Tao and other top units like Ayaka they require a lot of effort and synergy to match their output damage.
It should be noted that a high level means that the character is better than lower level characters, in terms of damage, versatility for the same investment, and performs at a higher level regardless of teammates. A lower level character does not necessarily mean that the character is bad, but it is an indicator of the character working in niche teams / situations or that better alternatives are available in the game. Finally, the characters are not ranked within their own level.
Genshin Impact 3.1 Tier List: Rank characters into 3 roles
Main DPS
The best characters
- Ganyu: It has unrivaled dominance in terms of DPS scaling in terms of charge attacks. She is a 5-star Cryo bow user who, like Hu Tao when paired with a hydro character, can outperform most DPS characters in terms of damage.
- Ayaka: A highly damaging attack, an impressive elemental burst, and high utility with elemental abilities. Not only that, she has a high damage ceiling, but her simple play style and highly flexible team compositions make her one of the most sought after characters in the game.
- Shogun Raiden: The electro archon on its release seemed underwhelming, as electronics were one of the weakest elements in the game. But her well-rounded kit, absurd energy recharge abilities, and incredible damage with both elemental abilities and her blast make her one of the best characters in all situations.
Sub DPS
The best characters
- Shogun Raiden: Raiden is one of the exceptions in Genshin Impact. She is a true all-rounder, as evidenced by her being overwhelmed in the three roles covered in this tier list. Her versatile skills are sure to fit any team players can think of.
- Xiangling: He is one of the most famous chefs in the port of Liyue. She is a 4-star pyrotechnic weapon user and is considered one of the strongest Sub-DPS in the game with her constant pyrotechnic damage with her elemental prowess and elemental explosions. She tops the rankings as a pyrotechnic / sub-DPS support, thanks to the new artifact set, as well as the new polearm is obtainable through missions
- Kazuha: One of the best secondary characters in the game, along with Twenty, is the sword-wielding character of Inazuma. Being a high-level sub-DPS character, it’s all thanks to his damage multipliers. His elemental explosion, plus the Viridescent Venus advantage, allows for a good dose of overtime.
Support
The best characters
- Winds: Archon Anemo of Monstadt, although demoted, is still a very overwhelmed character who can still be usable even, if you don’t build decent artifacts, due to the powerful crowd control his elemental blast can provide.
- Bennett: Despite being a 4-star pyrotechnic character, Bennett offers the best possible utility when it comes to a support character. His elemental blast is what players think about why his kit is overwhelmed. This ability provides an area that provides healing and increases the team’s attack based on Bennett’s attack damage. Once people get the first constellation on him, his limitations on increasing attack damage and healing will disappear. This is what makes it the best pyrotechnic support.
- Zhongli: As usual, the Geo Archon on Liyue is the most powerful support character providing an insane amount of damage while providing the usefulness of shields for your team. Depending on how players build Zhongli, he can deliver geographic damage over a large area or have enough health that his shield (scales with his health), preventing any kind of damage inflicted on the player.
Final thoughts
Although this list of levels exists purely to make the life of the readers much easier when playing this game, players can decide whether they want to follow it or not. They can feel free to build the characters as long as they fit the style of play they enjoy playing in. Genshin Impact is a game where players take their time and try things out at their own pace. Future updates will most likely bombard us with a lot of things to do, so it’s understandable that we’d like to rush everything and finish events. No matter what the players do with the game, always remember to have fun.
