Genshin Impact 5.8 Banners Guide
Meta Recommendations

  1. Citlali (S-Tier Support) – Versatile shield and RES shred; huge value across meta comps.

  2. Mualani (A+ DPS) – Reliable Hydro core for Vape/Taser teams.

  3. Ineffa (A-Tier Sub-DPS) – Niche pick, but potentially powerful with future Lunar-Charged units.

  4. Chasca (B-Tier DPS) – Crowd control is fun, but lower utility than Kazuha/Venti.

Constellation Targets

  • Xingqiu (C6): Must-have for top-tier Hydro application.

  • Fischl (C6): Stronger off-field Electro damage.

  • Citlali (C2): Extends RES shred and shield duration.
