Genshin Impact 2.7 has brought the introduction of Yelan as well as some changes in the Spiral Abyss that seem to be shaking things up in the meta.
With this in mind, here's our Genshin Impact tier list for version 2.7 covering the best DPS, Sub-DPS, Supports, and Enablers.
Genshin Impact Tier List: Best Characters in Version 2.7
The following tier lists separate Genshin Impact characters into four grades, where S tiers are the best and C-Tier are the least viable characters currently.
We'll be rating the characters across their performances in each role as created by the Genshin Impact community, roles that include main DPS, sub-DPS, supports, and enablers.
The list also considers the number of constellations a character requires to shine brightest.
- Main DPS
- The primary source of DMG. Most teams are designed around enabling these characters' abilities.
- Despite having the spotlight, most characters can play this role in Genshin Impact with enough investment.
- Sub DPS
- Characters that can provide an additional source of Elemental Damage for your team.
- They mostly rely on their Elemental Skills and Elemental Bursts.
- Supports
- These characters offer a utility role in the team, providing buffs, healing, cleansing, shields, and reducing enemies' defenses.
- In Genshin Impact, this is the most crucial category. Great supports can change the way your team performs considerably.
- Elemental Enablers
- These types of characters are meant to boost a specific Elemental skill in a team.
- They are generally from the same element as the DPS or Sub-DPS to create Elemental Resonance.
- Sometimes enablers are replaced by a second support character in team compositions.
Best Main DPS
With the arrival of Yelan in Genshin Impact 2.7, the meta has shifted, while Ayaka C0 and Ganyu C0 are still strong characters.
Vape Teams are back to claim the crown, Hu Tao C1 is the best Pyro DPS, and Ayato is starting climbing to the top.
We will see more changes, soon, when Genshin Impact introduces the Dendro element. But it seems, for now, that the Pyro Element will still be in a good position.

- Tier A
- Ayato C0, Arataki Itto C0, Childe Tartaglia C0, Eula C0, Xiao C0.
- Tier B
- Tier C

Best Sub-DPS
Raiden Shogun C0 is the best Sub-DPS in the current meta, as she is the best battery in the game, and her elemental skill runs constantly to great effect.
Yelan C0, however, is skyrocketing up the list with her impressive DMG output and versatile builds.
At the same time, Electro Teaser teams are becoming more popular in Genshin Impact, therefore Beidou C2 is sitting in a good position in the current meta as well.
- Tier S
- Raiden Shogun C0, Yelan C0, Xingqiu C6,
- Tier A
- Tier B
- Kaeya C2, Aloy C0
