Metatrend — Tier Lists & Guides for Gacha RPGs

// PATCH 5.4 ANALYSIS

Mavuika release created new Pyro hypercarry meta but demands Natlan teammates. Neuvillette + Furina remains easiest Abyss 36-star comp. Freeze teams died due to unfreezable enemy spam. Bennett still irreplaceable despite years of attempts to powercreep him.

Introduction

This guide covers Genshin Impact for Patch 5.4. Rankings and strategies reflect current endgame meta — everything here is tested against the highest content tiers available.

Tier List Methodology

Genshin tier rankings measure performance in Spiral Abyss Floor 12 chamber clears (36-star standard), focusing on damage per screenshot (DPS), reaction synergy, and team flexibility. S-tier characters are meta-defining—they either anchor multiple top-tier teams, provide irreplaceable utility, or trivialize current Abyss rotations. A-tier characters are strong but require specific teammates or constellations to reach competitive clear times. B-tier characters work but demand significant investment or niche enemy matchups. C-tier characters are powercrept or lack the multipliers to compete in modern Spiral Abyss. We assume C0 with 4-star weapons unless signature weapons fundamentally alter viability. Artifact quality is normalized to 200 crit value. Rankings shift significantly with Abyss blessing rotations and enemy lineups.

Current Meta Tips

01Neuvillette + Furina is the most braindead Abyss 36-star comp in 5.4. Charge attacks ignore positioning and one-shot chambers.

02Mavuika demands Natlan teammates (Xilonen/Citlali) to build Nightsoul stacks. Without them, her damage drops 40-50%.
