Genshin Impact Tier List: Version 7.1, October 2026

This is LFCarry’s Version 7.1 board for Genshin Impact, re-ranked for October 2026. A Rekviem for the Underworld has been live since 23 September 2026. Phase 1 runs Vesna and Vodyanitsa to 13 October. Phase 2 reruns Skirk and Escoffier to 3 November.

Main DPS S is Vesna, Mavuika, Nefer, Sandrone, Zibai and Flins. Vesna enters at S on her 1st grade. Lohen and Skirk move to A because 7.1 usage dropped them a band. Kinich drops to B.

Sub DPS S is Odette, Columbina, Durin, Escoffier, Furina, Ineffa and Yae Miko. Yae Miko climbs into S on Luna VIII Electro teams. Odette is graded as Sub DPS. The special program also says she can take the field as a DPS. The letter stays on the off-field job. Raiden, Nahida and Emilie drop to B. Kuki Shinobu climbs to A.

Support S is Bennett, Citlali, Lauma, Linnea, Nicole, Xilonen, Alyosha and Sucrose. Alyosha is the free 4-star Electro polearm from 7.0. Sucrose climbs on Swirl usage at C6. Vodyanitsa enters at A. Kazuha stays A. Zhongli and Shenhe drop to B.

The ranking table that used to repeat these letters is gone. Facts from that table live on the 3 boards and in the role section.

Letters rest on the 7.1 Abyss and Stygian Onslaught usage board read on 9 October 2026, checked against fresh 7.1 kit grades and the official 7.1 notice. Where usage drops a name a full band, usage wins. Bennett is the 1 exception: usage has him at A at C6, kit grades keep him in the top band, and the board holds S. A new 5-star with no usage yet takes the kit grade until usage covers her.

Version 7.1 A Rekviem for the Underworld opened on 23 September 2026. It is also the 6th anniversary version. It adds the Guardian Blade of Drifting Snow field boss and 2 free 5-star selectors.

Phase 1 runs Vesna and Vodyanitsa together until 13 October. Vesna is the 5-star Anemo sword on-fielder. Her signature is Beyond the Chrysalis. Vodyanitsa is the 5-star Hydro catalyst healer who scales on HP. Her signature is Hymn of the Maelstrom.

Phase 2 runs 13 October to 3 November with Skirk and Escoffier reruns. Skirk is A Main DPS on this board. Escoffier holds S Sub DPS. Pull Escoffier 1st if your Cryo team lacks an off-field engine.

The limited selector offers Tartaglia, Nilou, Baizhu, Chiori, Clorinde or Varesa. It needs Adventure Rank 18 and the 7.1 Archon Quest done by 3 November. Varesa is the strongest carry on that list on 7.1 usage. The standard selector offers 1 character from the standard wish pool.

Sandrone is the Luna VIII Cryo claymore that opened Stellar-Conduct. Odette is the 7.0 Cryo sword. Both hold S on the 7.1 board.

Furina and Bennett remain the universal support pair. Mavuika remains the default Pyro on-fielder when Abyss asks for raw field time.

Varka and Neuvillette stay A on 7.1 usage. Playable if already built. The letter is the usage board.

Pull advice uses the boards and the 13 October and 3 November dates.

Main DPS. Start with Vesna if you want the new Anemo carry. Pick Mavuika, Flins or Sandrone if you are building Stellar-Conduct. Nefer and Zibai share that S row. Lohen and Skirk sit in A now. Both still clear when built.

Neuvillette is A and still the easiest Hydro main if you already built him. Varka is A as an Anemo hypercarry that usage moved.

Sub DPS. Odette is the off-field Cryo pick. Furina is still the universal Fanfare slot. Columbina, Durin, Escoffier and Ineffa are the reaction engines. Yae Miko joins that S row on Luna VIII Electro teams.

A Sub DPS is Yelan, Fischl and Kuki Shinobu. Raiden, Nahida and Emilie sit in B on 7.1 usage. Built accounts keep them. New accounts pull the S row.

Support. Bennett is still the ATK snapshot that refuses to leave. Citlali and Xilonen shred. Lauma, Linnea and Nicole sit in that same S row. Alyosha is the free 4-star who buffs, heals and adds Electro in Stellar-Conduct teams. Sucrose climbs to S as the cheap Swirl and Elemental Mastery battery.

Kazuha is A. Still the swirl and grouping support. Usage moved him. Vodyanitsa is A as the new Hydro healer. Zhongli drops to B as a comfort shield.

Healer pattern at the high end is Furina plus a dedicated heal. Vodyanitsa is the new answer there. Kokomi, Baizhu and Charlotte cover B-band comfort.

New or low-spend account. Lock 1 S Main DPS you enjoy. Vesna if you want the new Anemo carry before 13 October. Mavuika if you want Pyro. Neuvillette later if you want the easy Hydro clear. Sandrone only if you will also build her Cryo and Electro cast.

Prioritize supports that stay: Bennett and Alyosha as 4-stars, then Xilonen, Kazuha and Citlali when banners appear. Claim both free 7.1 selectors before 3 November. Skip vertical constellations until you have 2 full Abyss teams.

Whale path. Vesna with Beyond the Chrysalis is the 7.1 prestige project. Sandrone signature plus her Stellar-Conduct cast stays the 7.0 project. Stack Fanfare and RES shred (Furina, Xilonen, Citlali) before C6 on a mid DPS.

Odette is the Sub DPS to finish if the off-field Cryo slot is empty. Escoffier returns on 13 October for the same job.

Character leveling and talent books are the bottleneck. Adventure Rank leveling starts at $9. Character leveling starts at $8. Those floors live in the chat links.

Natlan 100% exploration is $29. Pyroculus collect is $11. Fontaine story is $29. Dendroculus collect is $19. Those 4 are the fixed cards on this page.

S means the character is a default Abyss or Stygian Onslaught pick on 7.1 usage. A means playable if already built. B means mastery still clears. C is comfort that loses ceiling to the S row.

Vesna is S Main DPS. New 5-star Anemo sword on-fielder. She enters at S on fresh kit grades before usage covers her.

Mavuika is S Main DPS. Default Pyro carry when a chamber asks for raw field time.

Nefer is S Main DPS. Dendro carry ceiling when Bloom or Spread sides are live.

Sandrone is S Main DPS. Luna VIII Cryo claymore. Opens Stellar-Conduct. Needs a Cryo and Electro cast.

Zibai is S Main DPS. Geo DPS that still holds when shields and Crystallize matter.

Flins is S Main DPS. Electro on-fielder on the 7.1 usage board.

Lohen is A Main DPS. Cryo on-fielder that pairs into Escoffier and Furina cores. 7.1 usage has him at A. Vodyanitsa lifts his Freeze teams.

Skirk is A Main DPS on 7.1 usage. Still clears every chamber. Vodyanitsa gives her Freeze teams a new healer, and fresh kit grades rate her 1 step higher. Her rerun opens 13 October.

Varka is A Main DPS. Still a usable Anemo hypercarry.

Neuvillette is A Main DPS. Easiest Hydro main if you already built him.

Arlecchino sits in A Main DPS as a playable on-fielder.

B Main DPS is Kinich, Ayaka, Hu Tao, Clorinde, Mualani, Navia and Wanderer. Kinich is B on 7.1 usage. Clearable with mastery. Outscaled by the S row for speed clears.

Odette is S Sub DPS. Off-field Stellar-Conduct Cryo. The special program also lets her take the field. The letter stays on the off-field job.

Columbina is S Sub DPS. Hydro off-field. Durin is S Pyro off-field. Escoffier is S Cryo off-field. Ineffa is S Electro off-field.

Yae Miko is S Sub DPS. Electro off-field turrets that spike inside Luna VIII Stellar-Conduct teams.

Furina is S Sub DPS and the universal Fanfare buffer. She also heals enough to pair with a dedicated sustain.

Yelan is A Sub DPS. Fischl is A. Kuki Shinobu is A on 7.1 usage.

Raiden, Nahida and Emilie are B Sub DPS on 7.1 usage. Built accounts keep them. B Sub DPS also holds Xingqiu, Albedo and Chiori. Fine on a new account. They lose ceiling to Durin, Escoffier, Ineffa and Furina.

Bennett is S Support. ATK snapshot that refuses to leave the meta. Citlali is S Support. Xilonen is S Support.

Lauma is S Support. Linnea is S Support. Nicole is S Support. All 3 sit on the 7.1 board. Pick by element coverage.

Alyosha is S Support. Free 4-star Electro polearm from 7.0. Buffs, heals and adds Electro in 1 slot.

Sucrose is S Support. Swirl and Elemental Mastery battery at C6 on 7.1 usage.

Vodyanitsa is A Support. New 5-star Hydro catalyst healer who scales on HP. Fresh kit grades put her 1 step under the top healers.

Kazuha is A Support. Still swirl and grouping.

B Support is Zhongli, Shenhe, Kokomi, Baizhu, Xianyun and Charlotte. Comfort heals and shields. Raw Abyss score comes from the S and A rows.

7.1 kits are graded. Vesna and Vodyanitsa take letters from fresh kit grades until 7.1 usage covers them.

The Phase 1 window with Vesna and Vodyanitsa closes 13 October. Phase 2 runs to 3 November. Pull with the boards.

Flins stays S on usage. He is an Electro carry. Mavuika is the generalist next to him.

Qiqi, Yae Miko, Beidou and Diona gained Witch's Revelation and Stellar-Conduct help in Luna VIII. Yae Miko turned that into S. The others spike inside Sandrone teams while global usage stays mid.

A tier list is a starting point. Pick the role 1st and the character 2nd. A B-tier main you finish beats an S-tier main you never build.

Pull Vesna if you want an S Main DPS from 7.1. Vodyanitsa is A and worth it for a Hydro healer slot next to Furina.

New to Genshin? Build Bennett, Alyosha and 1 S Main DPS. Add Furina or Xilonen when the banner is live. Ask in chat with your Adventure Rank and your 5-stars.

The farm hub lists the daily resin work if you want to browse without a price card.

If your 5-star is Kazuha only, keep him. A is still a working swirl. Add Bennett from the 4-star pool before you pull a 2nd 5-star support.

If your 5-star is Neuvillette only, keep him as the A Main DPS and build Furina or Bennett next. Keep him on the team when a new banner opens.

If you own Sandrone with no Electro off-field, pull Ineffa or Fischl before another on-fielder. Alyosha also fills that slot for free.

If you own Odette and no on-fielder, pair her with Mavuika or Skirk. Skirk reruns from 13 October.

If you own Skirk, keep her. A is still a working carry. Escoffier from the Phase 2 banner lifts her Cryo team more than a 2nd copy.

Natlan exploration at $29 covers the Mavuika, Xilonen and Citlali region. Pyroculus at $11 is the same map, smaller scope.

Fontaine story at $29 covers Furina and Neuvillette quests. Dendroculus at $19 covers the Nefer and Nahida region.
