Vars II: Ranking EVERY 5 Star Character in Genshin Impact

As a long-time fan of Genshin Impact, I have been eagerly waiting for Vars II’s latest video ranking every 5 star character in the game. His insights and analysis are always valuable to me as a player looking to optimize my team compositions.


In his latest video, Vars II has shared his rankings of every top-tier character in Genshin Impact, offering intriguing perspectives and evaluations. This video acts as a fresh take on the game’s tier list, concentrating exclusively on the 5-star characters due to the extensive roster available. Vars II admits that there are impressive 4-star characters deserving of attention, but he thinks delving deeper into the analysis of the 5-star characters would prove more engaging and enlightening for audiences.

Key Takeaways:

  • Vars II rates Jean as an excellent character, even before the release of Farina. He notes that she serves a purpose in the meta and brings valuable attributes to a team.
  • Mona is considered niche due to the changes in the meta and the decreased demand for her abilities. While she still has a use, it is not as practical as before.
  • Diluc is now considered decent due to the increase in pyro DPS characters. However, with the introduction of Shinyu and the ability to weaponize his plunging attacks, he has become a powerful character once again.
  • Xingqiu is rated as decent and has been buffed significantly by version 1.3. However, he falls behind in terms of power in the current hyper carry meta of version 4.0.

Jean: Excellent

As a gamer, I’d say: Before the unveiling of Farina, I already considered Jean to be an exceptional character in Vars II. Her role in the game’s meta is significant, as she brings essential attributes to any team. With her new offensive healing abilities, she has become even more versatile and indispensable.

Mona: Niche

Mona’s uniqueness and value have been impacted by recent game updates and shifting player preferences. Though she remains useful, her skills are less sought-after compared to before. New characters with similar or superior abilities have emerged, making Mona seem less essential.

Diluc: Decent

I used to view Diluc as just decent due to the influx of other pyro DPS characters. But with the arrival of Shinyu and the new ability to amplify his plunging attacks, Diluc has regained his power and become a formidable character once more. Although he may not be the most overpowering choice, I now consider him a respectable pick for players.

Xingqiu: Decent

Xingqiu was considered average but received major improvements with update 1.3. However, his strength pales in comparison to hyper carry characters in the present meta of version 4.0. Nevertheless, he remains a useful character and an essential member in a team.
