Our updated Genshin Impact Tier List for Version 5.7 is now live! Version 5.7 released today on June 18. Two new characters, Skirk and Dahlia, may have shaken up the meta, leading to some big changes in rankings.
We’ve refreshed our tier list to reflect the current state of the game. This includes Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, and general high-level content. If you’re looking for the best Main DPS, Sub-DPS, or Support, our tier list helps you find the strongest characters for your team.
How the Tier List Works
- Characters are ranked from S+ (top-tier) to D (least viable).
- Each character is rated based on performance in late-game content, including damage output, ease of use, team synergy, and elemental utility.
- Some characters may appear in multiple roles due to their flexibility.
What’s New in 5.7
Skirk starts as a powerful Cryo Main DPS, making an immediate impact. She’s currently the second-strongest DPS in the game, only behind Mavuika.
However, Skirk’s full potential heavily relies on team synergy with Escoffier. While she can function without her, the damage drop is noticeable, making Escoffier almost essential for top-tier Skirk teams.
Dahlia, on the other hand, is one of the weakest characters we’ve seen in a while. As a Support, he offers shields and an ATK SPD buff similar to Mika (and better at C6), but he struggles due to:
- Split scaling
- Low elemental application
- Very little personal damage
Unless he’s intended as a free-to-play synergy option specifically for Skirk, Dahlia is often a downgrade compared to existing support alternatives.
