Genshin Impact Meta Shifts Ahead of Nod-Krai: Final Tier List Revealed
In a major update for Genshin Impact players, the final tier list before the release of Nod-Krai has been unveiled, reshaping the meta landscape and redefining character viability across endgame content. The list ranks top-performing characters based on their effectiveness in Spiral Abyss, Estigia Conflagration (difficulty 5), and high-level domains, offering strategic insights for team building and resource investment.
Must-pull 5-star units now include Mavuika, Skirk, Neuvillette, Arlecchino, and Varesa—each commanding the strongest teams in the game. Meanwhile, powerful 4-stars like Iansan rise in prominence, rivaling classic supports like Bennett in specific compositions. The upcoming Nod-Krai region introduces two new meta-defining teams: Lunar Electro-Charged and Bloom/Hyperbloom Lunar, led by Lauma and potentially Columbina.
Legacy characters such as Kazuha, Nahida, Xiangling, and Raiden have been reclassified as “immortals”—still solid but no longer essential due to power creep and evolving team synergies. The tier list emphasizes utility, elemental reactions, and adaptability, helping players optimize their rosters for future content. With limited Primogems and increasing character diversity, this guide is essential for anyone seeking competitive edge in Genshin Impact 2025.
