Genshin Impact TCG Tier List – All Cards Ranked – Gamezebo
Not sure which cards to pick? Our Genshin Impact TCG tier list is here to help you. In this guide, we rank all of the cards from S tier to D tier, allowing you to waste no time in guessing which ones to use. What’s more, we’ll keep it updated alongside new card additions and balance patches. So, we recommend that you bookmark this page and check back often.
The TCG allows you to duel with NPCs found throughout Teyvat, as well as familiar characters – there’s also a fun co-op mode too. The main objective of the TCG is to defeat all of the opponent’s character cards.
You can obtain a wider selection of character cards by progressing through the TCG. Cards are pulled at random in your deck, so we recommend creating a strong deck as soon as possible.
You can learn more about it on the game’s official website. If you’re looking for something new to play, check out our Genshin Impact TCG decks guide, Scaramouche build guide, and our Genshin Impact tier list.
Genshin Impact TCG Tier List
Now, we’ll go through our actual tier list, including an explanation of the tiers and some FAQs.
Tiers Explained
Before we move onto the tier list though, we thought we’d quickly explain what our tiers mean:
- S Tier: These are the best cards currently available in the game, and you should definitely aim to add them to your deck.
- A Tier: These cards are perfect for filling gaps in your deck – particularly when you haven’t unlocked enough S tiers, or there aren’t enough S tiers to fill a deck in the first place. You should investigate these cards and see which one will counter your enemy’s weakness.
- B Tier: Cards in this tier can really help during the early phases of the game, when you haven’t unlocked many of them, but they fade later on. Definitely use them when you lack S and A cards, but swap them out as soon as possible.
- C Tier: The only real difference between C and D tier is that C tier cards can occasionally have niche uses. They may be great at a particular game mode, or be exceptionally powerful early on. A late-game party shouldn’t have any though.
- D Tier: We don’t recommend using these cards under any circumstance, unless you absolutely have to because you have nothing else. They underperform at all stages of the game, and in all game modes.

Genshin Impact TCG Tier List FAQ
Now we’ll answer a bunch of questions you may have about Genshin Impact or tier lists in general.
What Is A Tier List?
A tier list is a list of characters that you can unlock in a game – particularly a gacha game – ordered from best to worst. We rank from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst.
The purpose of a tier list is to help you, the player, determine who the best characters to unlock are, so you can save time and money. Once you know who the best characters are, you can form a party out of them and ignore the others.
How Did We Pick Our Genshin Impact TCG Tier List?
We used a combination of the following factors when deciding on our Genshin Impact TCG tier list:
- Personal experience
- Community feedback
- General consensus from other tier lists
However, it’s worth noting that tier lists are subjective by nature. This is based on our experience with the game, but yours may vary. So, we recommend that you take this with a pinch of salt and play the Genshin Impact TCG for yourself.
How Often Do We Update Our Genshin Impact TCG Tier List?
We update this tier list regularly to ensure that it always follows the latest meta. Typically, you can expect an update around the following happenings:
- A new card releases
- Balance changes
There may be a small delay between the above two events as we’ll return to the game to check out the new character for ourselves, or to see how the balance patches have affected things.
