| 3/26 | Added Iansan to SS Added Varesa to S |
| 1/21 | Added added to A |
| 1/1 | Added & added to SS |
| 11/20 | SS → S Alhaitham, while still a powerful DPS, is more difficult to use than the other SS characters. The release of Xilonen which further buffed the other Top-Class DPS made us decide to move Alhaitham to S. S → A- Recent buffers like Xianyun and Xilonen made the following DPS perform lower compared to their competitors. B → C- Kachina as a DPS performs poorly especially on higher level contents compared to other DPS in the tier. S → SS- Emilie being at a separate niche as Nahida and with the recent popularity of comps with Burning made us decide that she should be at SS. A → S- Chiori being the preferred option at any Geo teams and her sheer damage and ease of use make her perform better than her competitors. - The Buff that Chevreuse gives at C0, while restrictive, is really powerful and opens up a lot of team options for players. C → BWith the recent importance of off-field Pyro and popularity of Burning teams, Dehya is the only off-field that uses E. Skill. |
