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.
Support Tierlist
Must-Have

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.
