Electro Tier List in 2025 Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact has grown so much over the years especially after the new regions like Sumeru, Fontaine and Natlan. Electro characters have become more important since Dendro element came out, with new Aggravate and Hyperbloom reactions that made many existing characters more powerful. I have tested many team compositions and strategies to see the raw potential and versatility of each Electro character. It’s been fun to see new characters join old favorites while Hoyoverse introduced new artifact sets and synergy options that shaped the meta. In this tier list I will focus on roles, synergy and overall impact on general play not just Spiral Abyss metrics.
Friends sometimes mention the struggles they have when exploring high level domains or taking on tough weekly bosses with underleveled team. In those moments ChaosBoost boosting services is a reliable solution to jumpstart progress especially for those who are overwhelmed with certain time-limited events or character building requirements. They have people who know how to optimize artifact farming, resource collection and puzzle solving. Players see immediate progress once they invest in a better equipped team or a finished build. My personal experience is that it’s a practical shortcut when standard farming routines seems too long or resource hungry.
S-Tier Electro Heroes: The Elite Force
I put these S-tier characters in highest regard for their overall utility, damage and support. They contribute to success in domains, co-op and general exploration while maintaining strong synergy with modern Dendro based reactions. Their skills and bursts are consistent whether against smaller mobs or world bosses.
Here’s a table of my top S-Tier Electro picks. They excel in team buffs, healing and stable performance in time-based events. This versatility is good for teams that need both offense and survivability.
| Character | Role | Highlights | Main Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raiden Shogun | Burst DPS / Battery | Massive AoE burst, recharges allies, big synergy with multiple bursts | Support plus DPS in one, hits enemies through shields, consistent in co-op |
| Kuki Shinobu | Healer / Enabler | Ring-based healing, continuous Electro application | Superb for Dendro reactions, comfortable artifact builds, user-friendly |
| Iansan | ATK Buffer / Sub-Heal | Shares Attack% and DMG buffs, flexible position-based mechanics | Encourages lively movement, helps every DPS, includes moderate healing |
Raiden Shogun for example still shines with her effortless burst spams and energy restoration that powers up the whole team. Kuki Shinobu has high synergy with Dendro teams: her ring deals continuous Electro damage for unstopable reaction chains, while topping up party HP. Iansan’s introduction in Natlan storyline brought a new approach to Electro support. She buffs Attack and DMG, plus some healing, making her very sought after for daily domains and event bosses. Each of these three are the top tier of Electro characters as of 2025.
A-Tier: Outstanding Powerhouses with Strong Roles
These A-tier characters perform well when built and paired with suitable teammates. Some are main carries, others are off-field support. While they may not have the multi-functional nature of S-tier picks (limited healing or narrower synergy windows), they are good for daily tasks, Spiral Abyss floors and special events.
I have found these characters very useful in teams that rely on consistent Electro application or raw burst damage. One or two of them are in my favorite teams especially if the team revolves around reaction based strategies.
- Reliable Elemental Application
- They maintain a dependable flow of Electro status on foes.
- Reactions such as Aggravate and Hyperbloom thrive under their skill or burst durations.
- High Burst or Sustained DPS
- Some excel at relentless normal attacks, while others unleash area-of-effect finishing strikes.
- They serve well in speed runs and timed content.
- Selective Team Buffs
- They might provide partial utility like minor buffs or small energy boosts.
- Usually overshadowed by S-tier supports in raw team-wide amplification.
Yae Miko, Fischl, Varesa, Clorinde and Keqing are my top A-tier picks for 2025. They have good synergy with Dendro or strong buffers and each has unique features that shine in specific playstyles.
Here’s a table of each A-tier Electro character, with notes on main role, typical approach and synergy highlights.
| Character | Primary Role | Core Strengths | Suggested Partners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fischl | Off-field DPS | Long-lasting Electro from Oz, high single-target damage, top-tier synergy with Dendro | Kazuha (crowd control), Raiden (battery), Nahida (Aggravate) |
| Yae Miko | Off-field / Burst | Turret-based kit, strong AoE burst, excels with Quicken reactions | Raiden (energy), Fischl (Electro resonance), Nahida (Dendro) |
| Varesa | Plunge DPS | High plunging AoE damage, new Natlan 5★ with dynamic aerial attacks | Iansan (ATK buff + healing), Zhongli (shield), Nahida (Aggravate) |
| Clorinde | Main DPS | Mix of sword and pistol combos, self-sustain from Bond of Life resource | Bennett or Iansan (ATK buffs), Dendro Traveler (Quicken) |
| Keqing | Speedy DPS | Teleport-based mobility, big improvement with Aggravate, reliable burst | Nahida (Dendro), Sucrose (EM sharing), Fischl (Electro resonance) |
Each of these characters is useful in open world and advanced content. Fischl’s raven is one of the best low investment solutions for continuous Electro damage. Yae Miko requires more energy or synergy management but pays off with big multi-target bursts. Varesa’s plunging style is fun when pulling enemies into grouped clusters, and Clorinde’s skill based approach adds a layer of strategy to manage her Bond of Life. Keqing fans, rejoice: Dendro awakened her potential and made her scale to a level that’s relevant even against new characters.
B-Tier: Solid Contenders for Focused Strategies
B-tier characters perform well when slotted into the right teams. They may have narrower specializations, require specific constellations or more attention in rotations. But they can still complete story chapters, domain runs and multi-phase events with supportive teammates.
I sometimes try B-tier Electro characters in teams that revolve around unique mechanics or reaction based damage. Their presence is less universal than the upper tiers but they can shine in specialized teams or with good synergy investments. Here’s a table of my go-to B-tier Electro picks and why they’re still relevant in certain teams:
| Character | Function | Reason for B-Tier | Ideal Situations & Allies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kujou Sara | Burst Buffer | Significant Attack and Crit DMG boost (especially at C6), but awkward kit | Pair with Raiden or main Electro DPS for maximum effect |
| Cyno | Sustained DPS | Long burst duration, requires stable on-field time, synergy reliant | Needs Dendro support and a shield to keep momentum |
| Ororon | Support Enabler | Energy battery and Electro-Charged focus, low personal damage | Thrives in Taser squads with Hydro units |
| Dori | Healer / Battery | Tethers a single target for healing + energy, small Electro application | Useful for characters with high burst cost or continuous HP drain |
| Sethos | EM-Based Archer | Charged-shot emphasis, shining best in Aggravate combos, demands practice | Great with Dendro Traveler / Nahida, requires some aiming skill |
B-tier doesn’t mean these characters are bad. They have specific roles in niche teams. Kujou Sara, for example, completely transforms Raiden Shogun or Keqing with her Attack buffs and C6 Crit DMG bonus, though her skill usage can feel clunky in intense fights. Cyno’s personal DPS is huge when everything goes right, Ororon is for Hydro-Electro synergy, Dori offers single-target healing + battery effects, and Sethos is an EM-based damage dealer with aimed shots.
C-Tier: Niche Performers with Limited Applications
I reserve C-tier for those whose kits feel overshadowed or situational. They do standard content okay once geared, but often require investment or favorable conditions to compete with higher-tier characters. In daily exploration or multi-wave events, they sometimes struggle to keep up or need protection from teammates.
Here’s a list with brief info on each C-tier Electro character, their strengths and typical use cases:
- Electro Traveler (Sword)
- Decent energy-generation skill and a burst that zaps foes in an AoE.
- Provides moderate battery support but overshadowed by others.
- Tends to be replaced once players unlock specialized units.
- Lisa (Catalyst)
- AoE burst that reduces enemy DEF, plus a charged skill that delivers huge one-hit damage.
- Requires a shield or crowd control to safely hold her skill.
- Slower to use effectively in busy fights, though Dendro reactions revitalized her some.
- Razor (Claymore)
- Straightforward melee physical DPS, uses Electro infusions during burst.
- Best with Superconduct to reduce enemy physical resistance.
- Lacks team buffs and requires stable on-field time for full damage window.
Each of these characters has their moments. Electro Traveler helps early accounts bridge an energy gap, Lisa shreds clusters of weak enemies if protected well, and Razor smashes single targets when he syncs with Cryo units. But the additional versatility of higher tiers usually outclasses them once rosters expand.
My Personal Reflection on Electro Roster Evolution
Electro has come a long way since Genshin Impact’s launch. Some characters that were below average initially rose to the top once Hoyoverse introduced Dendro reactions like Aggravate and Hyperbloom. A few like Fischl have always been high up thanks to constant Electro application. Others like Keqing got a new lease of life, proving how a single patch can flip previous assumptions. Newcomers like Varesa and Iansan brought new playstyles that reshaped the meta and expanded our options.
I expect more changes in the future, maybe with new elemental reactions or artifact sets that boost certain characters. People are still discovering new synergies, including multi-Archon teams that revolve around battery mechanics. Raiden Shogun is still the centerpiece of many top teams and the recent Fontaine and Natlan characters kept Electro feeling fresh and strong.
Final Thoughts on Team-Building and Exploration
Electro is an element with so much variety, from hypercarries to support enablers and everything in between. I personally like to rotate through multiple teams, testing synergy between S-tier healers like Kuki Shinobu and dedicated DPS characters like Cyno or Varesa. Raiden Shogun is the ultimate damage and battery combo, often in event teams and weekly bosses. Ororon shows how each patch can reveal new niches.
In general, the 2025 Electro roster is super versatile in open-world, co-op and advanced domain farming. S-tier picks are in many top meta teams, A-tier are reliable powerhouses, B-tier are in custom teams and C-tier are in niche builds. My advice is always to test synergy, artifact sets and reaction damage to find that sweet spot between raw damage and survival. Nothing is more fun than unleashing a Electro burst, fueling the party’s energy and watching enemies get hit by wave after wave of purple lightning.
