Xianyun (Cloud Retainer)

Element	Anemo
Weapon Type	Catalyst
Rating	S

Xianyun (Cloud Retainer)'s kit makes her out to be a valuable addition to a team since she can provide healing and bursts. However, it's still not known how strong her healing is and if she can easily fit into team comps that are not Plunge Attack-centered.

Gaming

Element	Pyro
Weapon Type	Claymore
Rating	A

Gaming has a unique gameplay style with his kit revolving around doing Pyro plunge attacks at the cost of his health. Since the damage numbers are not known yet, it's hard to say how strong of a DPS he will be yet.

Faruzan

Element	Anemo
Weapon Type	Bow
Rating	B

Faruzan is a good anemo buffer and her charged attack can provide minimal crowd control which can also be a good support for her team. You can maximize her performance if you reach her C6!

Noelle

Element	Geo
Weapon Type	Claymore
Rating	D

Noelle is a very flexible character who can play as a DPS, Shield support, or a healer when given enough investment. Noelle's C6 will make her a better DPS since she can fully scale in DEF.
