Genshin Impact Tier List — Best Characters Ranked (Version 4.8)

Genshin Impact Tier List — Version 4.8

Welcome to egg.network's comprehensive Genshin Impact character tier list. We rank every character based on their overall utility across Spiral Abyss, overworld content, and team synergy potential.

How We Rank

Characters are evaluated based on damage output, support capabilities, team synergy, and ease of use. We consider both C0 (constellation zero) performance and the character's ceiling at higher investment levels. Weapon availability and artifact requirements also factor into our rankings.

Meta Overview

Version 4.8 continues to see Furina and Nahida as the most impactful characters in the game. Furina's Fanfare mechanic synergizes with virtually every team, while Nahida enables the powerful Dendro reaction teams. Bennett remains the most valuable 4-star character due to his unmatched ATK buff and healing.

Building Your Team

Focus on building one strong team for each Spiral Abyss half. Pair a main DPS with complementary supports — elemental reactions are king in Genshin Impact. Don't sleep on 4-star characters like Bennett, Xiangling, and Xingqiu — they compete with (and sometimes outperform) many 5-stars.
