Genshin Impact Version 7.0 meta tier list
A new tier list ranks over 100 Genshin Impact characters for Version 7.0, placing Stellar-reaction enablers like Sandrone and Odette at the top.
A comprehensive new tier list for Genshin Impact Version 7.0 ranks the game's expansive roster, sourced from Dot Esports. The current meta heavily favors characters who enable the Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl reactions introduced in recent updates.
Characters like Sandrone and Odette are considered the most valuable. For returning players, buffs have enabled older units like Yae Miko, Qiqi, and Yumemizuki Mizuki to also trigger Stellar-Conduct.
How The Characters Were Ranked
The tier list acknowledges that most game content can be cleared with any character given sufficient investment and player skill. It emphasizes that favorite characters remain viable. The rankings consider viability in recent content, end-game modes, and developer buff trends. Five-star characters are judged at Constellation 0, while four-stars are evaluated at Constellation 6.
Top-Tier Character Rankings
The S+ and S tiers are dominated by units that enable the powerful Stellar or Lunar reactions. These characters form the core of the current strongest team compositions.
Characters Impacted by the Shifting Meta
The analysis shows clear winners and losers based on the elemental reaction meta. Units specializing in Pyro, Geo, and certain Dendro reactions have fallen down the rankings.
Nahida's usefulness is noted as severely impacted because Dendro-reliant teams are not the strongest currently. Characters like Arlecchino are in B-tier because her Bond of Life mechanic takes too long to set up, hurting her damage output. Pyro and Geo damage dealers broadly suffer, as do Electro and Cryo characters who cannot enable the newer Stellar reactions.
Dendro has it worse, according to the source. Burning and Bloom reactions, even when enhanced by specialists like Emilie and Nilou, are deemed inferior in end-game modes. Characters in the F-tier are described as needing solid buffs, as their numbers and capabilities do not keep up with the roster.
For players building teams, the best DPS character for the current meta is Sandrone for Stellar teams. Mavuika and Nefer can also deal high damage but require mastery of their unique kits. The best support characters are Odette and Columbina, with Citlali, Lauma, and Nicole also highlighted as great dedicated options.
