Genshin Impact tier list April 2025: Ranking all characters

April 2025 is here, and Genshin Impact’s Natlan arc is still shaking up the meta. Version 5.5 introduces fresh faces, rebalances old ones, and gives players a whole new reason to rethink their team compositions. Whether you’re hunting for the best DPS, support, or healer, this tier list ranks all characters based on their performance in the current patch.
So, before you spend your precious Primogems, here’s a crisp rundown of where every character stands right now.

These characters dominate in every role, whether it’s dishing out massive DPS, keeping your team alive, or providing top-tier support. If you have them, build them ASAP.
Still powerful, but they need proper team setups to shine. They’re great picks, just not as universally broken as S-Tier.
These characters can work well but require the right artifacts, weapons, and team synergy to keep up with higher tiers.
These characters struggle in most situations but can work if you’re determined to make them shine. They often require heavy investment or specific team setups.
Unfortunately, these characters just don’t hold up in today’s meta. You can use them for fun, but don’t expect them to carry.
With Version 5.5 shaking up the meta, some underdogs have risen while others have fallen. If you’ve got Neuvillette, Raiden, Furina, or Alhaitham, consider yourself blessed. Otherwise, it's time to start saving those Primogems for the next big OP release.
If you’re aiming for top-tier units, prioritize S-Tier characters whenever their banners appear. A-Tier and B-Tier can still perform well, but they require more work. And if you love an underdog? Well, C-Tier and D-Tier are waiting for you.
Who’s your main? Any surprises in this tier list? Let’s talk in the comments!
