This tier is the most realistic thing I have every seen. Xinyan is the best character in genshin and you can not change my mind.

⬇ Her burst only useful as C2 because she's create a shield via burst

Anonymous 5

Pro tip: Never take tier lists seriously, they are always put together by people, hence they are biased.

How ever, why does she have to be this bad? She was one of my first units and only fire unit with amber during dragonspine, i always found her burst useless beyond belief

Anonymous 4
