Understanding the 4.7 Meta

The 4.7 update has significantly shaken up the character rankings, with several new additions making waves in the meta. Our comprehensive tier list evaluates characters not as isolated units but as core members of their optimal team compositions - because let's face it, no one's soloing the Spiral Abyss these days!

Characters are ranked from SS (absolutely meta-defining) to D (limited combat utility), with careful consideration given to their performance at recommended investment levels. As any Genshin veteran knows, a C6 four-star can sometimes outperform a C0 five-star, so we've factored in constellation levels where relevant.

SS Tier: The Cream of the Crop

The SS tier represents the true powerhouses of Genshin Impact Genshin Impact 4.7 characters tier list - these units dominate endgame content with minimal effort and will likely remain relevant for months to come.

Top SS Tier Characters:

  • Clorinde: This electro powerhouse has taken the meta by storm, offering incredible off-field damage and utility.

  • Arlecchino: The undisputed queen of the current meta, combining devastating damage with exceptional team synergy.

  • Furina: Still maintaining her position as one of the game's most versatile supports despite newer releases.

  • Neuvillette: His hydro application and damage ceiling remain unmatched in certain team compositions.

  • Kazuha: The OG crowd control king who refuses to be dethroned patch after patch.

S Tier: Exceptional Performers

S tier characters reach their peak strength with recommended investment levels. While not quite as game-breaking as SS tier units, they can easily clear all content with the right team building.

Notable S Tier Additions:

  • Sigewinne: The newest hydro character predicted to make a significant impact on the meta.

  • Hu Tao: Still a pyro DPS monster, especially at C1 where her playstyle opens up significantly.

  • Xianyun: Providing unique utility that keeps her relevant despite newer anemo options.

A Tier: Strong Contenders

These characters require maximum investment to achieve similar performance to higher-tier options. While perfectly viable for all content, they typically need more resource investment or specific team compositions to shine.

"A tier characters are like your reliable Toyota Camry - not flashy, but they'll get you where you need to go without breaking down," as my American friend likes to say.

Role Categorization

Understanding a character's intended role is crucial for effective team building. Our tier list categorizes characters into three main roles:

  1. Main DPS: Primary damage dealers who stay on-field for extended periods

  2. Sub DPS: Off-field damage dealers and elemental applicators

  3. Support: Characters providing buffs, shields, healing, or crowd control

Recent Meta Shifts

The introduction of new mechanics and powerful support characters has dramatically shifted the meta landscape. Characters like Mavuika and Xilonen have climbed the popularity charts, though Arlecchino continues to dominate in multiple categories.

According to our community polls, Arlecchino and Mavuika are consistently ranked as the top characters in Version 6.1, with Furina and Xilonen frequently appearing in the top three.

Constellation Considerations

It's important to note that certain constellations can dramatically alter a character's performance and playstyle. For example:

  • Hu Tao's C1 eliminates stamina concerns for charged attacks

  • Raiden's C2 provides a massive damage boost

  • Yelan's C2 significantly improves her hydro application

Our tier list evaluates characters at their optimal constellation levels, though we recognize that not all players have access to high constellation 5-star characters.

The Bottom Line

The Genshin Impact Genshin Impact 4.7 characters tier list represents our assessment based on extensive testing and community feedback. However, remember that tier lists are subjective, and your personal playstyle and available resources should ultimately guide your character investment decisions.

As the famous Genshin saying goes, "Pull for who you simp for, not who's meta." But if you want to absolutely crush content with minimal effort, the SS and S tier characters are your best bet!
