Support Tierlist

This tierlist will not be like all my other tierlists. I'll explain the rankings and situations in which each support does well. This tierlist assumes optimal conditions (so 2 other geo characters paid with Gorou) and will not be factoring in how good Geo currently is.

Must-Haves

  • Furina is just Furina. Almost 90% of accounts have her. Not only is her buff bigger than any other support, she also provides this buff to EVERY type of damage.
  • Bennett is not in this tier because he has high buffing potential - he's here because he was given for free in 4.x (and is free from starglitter shop) and should be built on EVERY account.

S

  • Kazuha being here is probably controversial. But, I think he is overrated. Yes, he has grouping. Yes, he gives a 80% buff with a good build. However, he requires swirling the correct element... which means physical, dendro, and geo don't get a buff. Hyperbloom and burgeon are the strongest teams in the game.
  • Venti can use 4 pc VV and has the best grouping in the game.

A

  • Mona is a great support for burst-nukes, sometimes being better than Furina, and use TTDS.
  • Sucrose can hold 4 pc VV and can swirl every part of her kit, and use TTDS.
  • Xianyun is an amazing plunge support, with swirls, crit rate, and base dmg additions, and use TTDS.
  • Chevreuse is a psuedo-anemo mixed with mini-Bennett. She can give atk from her charged skill, and decreases every enemy's pyro and electro res even if they have an innate aura. She can also hold Noblesse.

B

These supports are kind of mediocre, have better choices, or are niche.

  • Klee gets a good res shred at C2 and can provide Pyro resonance.
  • Albedo's buff is not that big.
  • Yunjin requires constellations.
  • Sara is basically only used in Raiden Burst Nuke teams, but is good at it.
  • Faruzan's buffing potential HIGHLY decreases without c6. At c6, she's A tier.

C

  • Jean can provide Anemo Swirling, but is better built as a healer.
  • Sigewinne has a flat DMG additive to off-field DPSes like Furina and Fischl, but it doesn't constitute using an entire team slot for them.
  • Yelan gives a DMG% buff to the onfield character, but is best used as a Sub-Dps
  • Rosaria can give a good 15% Crit Rate, but that's about it.
  • Mika is good for Eula, and that's it.

D

  • Lisa can hold 4pc Noblesse and TTDS, as well as giving some DEF shred at A4 (but this does not constitute using her instead of even Heizou as a support)
  • Lynette can hold 4pc VV and has decent swirl application.
  • Chongyun can provide cooldown decrease.
