BY: Allyana Molina Let’s face it: You played Genshin for the characters. Each one has its own unique appearance and playstyle. Since Combat is one of the games’ main highlights these characters can either deal loads of damage or boost your team’s overall performance—or maybe even both.
So, in honor of good-ol’-fashioned brawls and battles, we’ll be ranking damage-dealing characters, more known as DPS: Damage-per-second specializing characters,) based on their capabilities. Let’s see which characters are the best to use in giving insane amounts of damage.
S TierThese characters are the best of the best. Top-tier attacks with heavy damage that can easily knock out enemies. You can never go wrong with using them- with or without the constellations and buffs, they’re easily the best pick for amazing, insane damage.
A TierWith great impacts and fun attack flows, A-tier characters deal huge amounts of damage. However, their playstyle might be just a little lacking or confusing, they’d need a little oomph from the team or from their constellations to get that high-level damage.
B TierB-tier characters deal good bits of damage that get the job done. They’re very optimal for exploration and for starting the game, but they do need a lot of building and leveling up, as well as more buffs and constellations to progress their damage levels.
C TierCharacters ranked in the C tier may need a lot of help in getting that high level of damage, they do have a good impact in their attacks but they lack in a lot of areas that the other tiers have to offer. They may also be considered better in other roles through their playstyle and abilities. Noelle (80/100) Xinyan (80/100) Qiqi (80/100) Aloy (79/100)

Allyana Molina Casting spells and healing travelers, that's what Allyana does best. You'd mostly find her growing herbs in her farm or selling wares at your local guild- some of which even come from other worlds. Does my pity on the weapon banner carry over?These points don't carry over between the two featured 5-Star weapons either, so if you change your mind on which 5-Star you want after accumulating a Fate point, you will lose it when you chart a course to the other weapon. The very best of luck Wishing on Banners in Genshin Impact!
Does pity reset on weapon banner?when it switches to a new weapon banner? The pity (the amount of wishes you've done since your last 5-star) doesnt reset. The Epitomized Path on the other hand does reset when the weapon banner changes.
