► The best four stars in Genshin worth your primogems! A complete tier list based on the competitive strength a character has in the current genshin meta compared to all other 4 stars, and even 5 stars! I'll be explaining in detail the pros and cons of every single 4 star character in the game from S+ tier, the game changers, all the way down to F the bruh tier. As someone who 36 stars the abyss every single cycle using only 4 star characters holding 4 star weapons, I am very well versed in the four star meta. AS always, pull for WHO YOU WANT. Playing meta is not necessary by any means in Genshin, you can clap the abyss with your favorites easily :) So sit back, relax and learn a lil something with ya boy.
This list was made in 4.3 (before Chevreuse's release), but all information in this list is timeless information that will help you decide who to pull or main 100%! Why should you listen to me? I am a day 1 player, who 36 stars the abyss every single rotation with challenge teams like 4 stars only, only 2 characters etc. for fun. My life revolves around this game, I play it and create vids for it for a living, I know a lot about it trust me :) I wanted to make a video that helps you understand WHY a character is good, not just a placement hence the long video duration but I promise you it's thorough as well as fun! Thanks for clicking on my channel and watching the video, we're almost to 50k subs so sub? :)

@mimitogami 6 ай бұрын

@@EtherwinterI agree with you but I think that’s because Kirara is Dendro which inherently makes her more valuable than a…Cryo character. Cryo kinda stinks right now, right beside Geo it’s the most out of place element. It has melt going for it, but Kaeya and Rosaria do that better. But yeah, this list seems to be looking at the 4* with respect to the other 4* and in that case I definitely think she’s A. There’s no world where Gorou and Mika can be considered universally better.

@CherryblossomFoxx 6 ай бұрын

Exactly, he says she does "nothing else" but previously he was complaining that Diona isn't good for cryo application while Layla IS, her shield and burst shoots stars of cryo that basically makes enemies have perma cryo applied to them. She's arguably better than Diona in freeze teams, Diona's healing isn't even all that and a worse circle impact than Rosaria. Also Diona's shield uptime is so small and needs sac sword while Layla can battery the team with fav while not sacrificing permanent shield uptime

@-Veee- 6 ай бұрын

No way Layla is Dori tier. One of the reasons why Layla is so good is the 100% uptime on her burst and shield. Plus good cryo application which is good for freeze and melt. Personally, I think Layla is A tier with the massive shield that is almost as big as Zhongli.

honestly, Layla slaps on double-hydro Hu Tao teams. hydro resonance makes her already strong shield even stronger with the HP boost, she can give useful buffs, she can enable occasional melts, and especially with constellations, she can deal pretty decent damage herself! and with Fontaine finally bringing us some HP swords that aren't Nilou's signature or Jade Cutter, she's honestly even stronger than she was on release imo.

@zuz6942 6 ай бұрын

I use her in the same exact team and i agree, she’s wonderful. By applying cryo and buffing teammates if u’re using the Tenacity set she makes Hu Tao to do BIG BIG BIG melt numbers. Also her shield is very strong, the application with burst is very good and she does not need energy recharge. Guys, her burst cost is 40! You don’t need an er weapon to make her useful. Ps. I clear the abyss and mine is lvl.60 (but Hu Tao is 90) and her weapon is a 3 star.

If you have c2 Layla you dont need to worry about ER at all. Even with a full hp build she does quite a bit of dmg and her shield is almost as good as Zhongli. Burst duration is the same as her shield and if she has a bit of er or c2 her burst is always up when her shield is. Also yes Freminet doesn’t do huge amounts of damage but he’s so fun to play especially with Rosaria

Eakes has played with and 36 stared the abyss with these characters . However, he was playing with lower constellations. Eakes does his research , but some of his assement is from his own personal experience. Judging the newer 4 star characters are tricky for tierlists because so many people don't have them at high constellations. So unless the character is broken at C6 like Faruzan , a lot of people don't know how solid some the other new 4 stars are at high constellations. With that I do think Laylers should had been in A tier .

Layla should definitely be A or S tier. If you don't have Zhongli, she is an amazing choice for a shield. With her 100% up time (with enough HP), low burst cost, and easy to farm artifacts (literally only need HP and a little ER), she is an amazing character to build if you don't have any other shield. I honestly don't know if my sister would still be playing if she didn't have Layla since she is terrible at dodging. [Edit because I think is important] Layla doesn't need constellations to be at her best which I think is also a point in her favor. Her C2 is good, but she is still a very good character at C0.

She's an amazing Cryo battery, a great Tenacity user, enables Cryo resonance super easily with how much Cryo she applies, and does very good off-field damage at high constellations. She doesn't even need a 5 star weapon either because her BiS is Harbinger of Dawn. Putting her in the same tier as Dori doesn't make sense to me.

She isn't a good enough healer to be on a Furina team. Her dmg is very minor. Layla has 100% uptime and the 2nd strongest shield in the game. Her damage is still respectable with little investment. She makes perfect use of HoD to buff her dmg further. There's a reason that Layla is the 4* shielder on Neuv teams, and not Diona. Diona doesn't have a niche. She's just mediocre at everything.

I love how the comments are defending layla, she’s my best shielder at the time when I still haven’t got my hand on Zhongli and I must say that her shield is definitely enough if you don’t just stand still and do nothing. She can always proc tenacity which is another huge upside, Zhongli can too, but I find his pillars unreliable, sometimes enemies move, sometimes the pillars get destroyed. Plus being cryo means that she can run with another cryo and in a freeze team, you would also get 15% more crit rate. Her shield performs the best at c3 and can somewhat buff (although not much) at C4 but the thing is, she works completely fine at C0, she definitely deserves a solid A tier at least imo.

Layla's whole kit literally works on two things which are to offer a 100 percent uptime of shield (FEELS LIKE ZHONGLI WITH SAC SWORD but without its pretty much still busted) and applying a decent amount of cryo from both of her elemental skill and burst. Not to mention she is still a buffer like Diona due to sword and artifact buffing weapons. How the hell Yunjin and others is near to that....when she is literally a character that gives almost universal support thru better elemental application and shield. You dont need heal when you really dont need to especially with you bearing a tough shield to break. Also Layla doesnt really suffers from energy issues much especially if your gonna include constellations lol. Your forgetting she has access to best energy recharge weapons living room for more flexibility either HP weapon + Energy Sands or Energy Wep + HP Weapon. Its not bad cause you still can cause a huge amount of energy recharge and hp given how many weapon choices she has plus how varied artifacts sets it not to mention how your likely to get HP/energy stats too lol. Layla should have been a solid S tier even just below Diona. Yanfei can't still be near to her given the fact yes Yanfei can also do buffing with TTDS but your literally her main essence which is her dmg while Layla nope its just her mere dmg that is weak her that can be ignored since its not the point she needs to feel to anyway plus if you have buffing characters like Shenhe, Kazuha or even Bennett she lose that pointless weakness....Remember characters survive and worth the best if their point is not mostly just do dmg...Making Yanfei having better commendation here than Layla is literally a sin

Just to clarify I just said she can go toe to toe with the archon of shielding. As for Yunjin, you mention swapping her for any character in a Yoimiya team loses value. This is where you are completely wrong, her buff is slightly better than Bennett for her. Stick her on 2pc husk 2pc emblem and give her the fav lance and you effectively have a Bennett for Yoimiya whilst still having a second Bennett for any other team. Besides Yunjin is also a very common pick in physical Fischl and Zhongli teams and also does a very good job in Ayato freeze, Taser and mono hydro teams.

Layla’s cryo application is kinda whatever and cryo application isn’t even that in demand. B is good for Layla shielding is just kinda whatever when furina exists (ttds Charlotte is just better). I actually tested yoi yunjin versus Bennett yoi and the numbers were actually larger with Bennett (both c6) and the attack speed of c6 barely does anything (I also tested that).

Agree with Lisa's placement though I am always wondering why people insist on using her in hyperbloom when she's clearly better in an Aggravate setup. I get that Hyperbloom is broken but why use her in a sub-optimal way? She's a good driver for Fischl's passive. All her damage is pure Electro meaning everybit of her kit can proc aggravate. Quicken teams favor those who can dish out multiple fast sources of damage and just by looking at her ult and her low cd tap skill she's meant to be in that zone not hyperbloom. Still using the same team of Lisa, Fischl, Kazuha, and Baizhu and still clearing abyss. 😅

@shinrinwitch5832 6 ай бұрын

@@user-bk6bw4mu7t On the team I mentioned she's no subdps to Fischl. If you are using and building her right she would deal just as much as a decent on-fielder in an Aggravate Setup. She's meant to make use of Fischl's A4 passive while the rest of her teammates augment her personal damage. An electro resonance to combat her energy issues, a Kazuha Swirl to for a buff with resistance shred, and a Dendro healer than can do elemental application off-field. See that? There are no redundancy in the roles they play. Compare that with Beidou whose maximum potential requires her to have 2 or more enemies present, and Razor whose best team rn requires a C6 character and his teammates are ult dependent which requires higher energy ceiling she's a much more stable unit. Now people claim them to be better than Lisa. I dunno what's up with that but I sure do see that she's no inferior to the rest of 4 star electro main dpses out there.

Candace has one really good use in Nilou bloom teams. You'd run Candace YaoYao Nilou Nahida and use YaoYao as a onfielder to apply hydro and dendro/heal simultaneously. Layla is a really good shielder with a shield that is quite near the strength of Zhongli, she works really good in Neuvillette teams since she gives interruption resistance, 1 stack for his passive and freezes which makes Neuvillette far better feeling to play. Dori can work really well in furins teams at c6 since her healing is insanely high and she can actually be quite a good battery but her c6 is really needed.

Since when Charlotte deals more damage than Layla? Layla has big ass shield 2nd best in game and deals some dmg while applying a lot of Cryo and has really cheap burst. Kaveh is just a really comfy driver for Nilou blooms, especially because these teams despite of having Kokomi in it have some issues with surviving. Even though Alhaitham can be played in these teams and can deal huge dmg, he won't survive more than a couple of seconds. With Kirara you seem to forget about her C4 which is a huge upgrade and a source of off-field Dendro application, which as you said she lacks. Lynette thanks to her C6, can be played as a driver for teaser teams or aggretave teams similarly to Sucrose. Her burst gives you some atk% it also taunts and applies VV buff as well as thanks to her C2 she's quite a good source of elemental application. Since when she generates not that much energy? Her skill creates 4 particles, her C4 gives you second charge, so it's 8 and in addition to that she's usually played with ER weapon such as Fleuvre Cendre Pipe and Sacrificial Sword (12 particles and huge ER stat)

Whereas Layla has such a strong shield that if you don’t have Zhongli you can use Layla, she’s useful on C0 Neuvillette teams if you really want the interruption res, and Ning has just found use in Tailor Swift teams if you don’t have Zhong … yes two units replacing Zhongli but not everyone has or wants Zhongli, especially when it’s still debated whether or not Zhongli is or should be a “must pull”
