The Teyvat meta is constantly evolving, and as we settle into the latter half of the Version 6.x cycle, the arrival of Natlan and the growth of the Nod-Krai region are shaking things up more than ever. Newly emerging reactions—like Lunar-Bloom and Lunar-Crystallize—are creating fresh playstyles and elevating both veteran units and brand-new five-stars.

S+ Tier: The Meta-Definers (Must-Have Units)

These characters sit at the very top of the food chain. Their damage, utility, or team-enabling power is so impactful that they reshape how most endgame teams are built.

Neuvillette — Hydro | On-Field Hydro DPS

Still unmatched in sustained Hydro damage. His HP-scaling Charged Attacks continue to outshine nearly every other DPS option thanks to their raw power, range, and team flexibility.

Furina — Hydro | Universal Sub-DPS / Buffer

The premier team-wide damage amplifier. Her Fanfare stacks and reliable off-field Hydro application remain central to maximizing damage in modern meta teams.

Kazuha — Anemo | Swirl Support / Crowd Control

One of the most universally valuable supports. His grouping capability and massive Elemental DMG buffs make him irreplaceable in nearly all reaction-based teams.

Nahida — Dendro | Dendro Support / Sub-DPS

The Dendro Archon continues to dominate. Her unmatched off-field Dendro application and Elemental Mastery sharing keep her essential for Quicken, Bloom, and all new Dendro-focused reactions.

Arlecchino — Pyro | On-Field Pyro DPS

A pure Pyro powerhouse. Her Bond of Life mechanic fuels devastating damage, making her top-tier in both Vaporize setups and raw Pyro teams.

Mavuika — Pyro | Main/Sub Pyro DPS

Natlan’s rising star. Her kit fits perfectly with new regional mechanics, instantly placing her among the elite Pyro carries.

S Tier: Excellent & Highly Valuable (Top-Tier Performance)

These units are incredibly strong, versatile, and capable of clearing all endgame content with ease.

Sub-DPS / Support Core

  • Yelan: Still the gold standard for off-field Hydro DPS, rivaling even Furina in single-target scenarios.
  • Raiden Shogun: A Burst DPS monster and the game’s best Energy Recharge battery, powering teams like Raiden National.
  • Bennett: The strongest 4-star in the game. His unmatched ATK buff and healing make him a perpetual meta staple.
  • Zhongli: The shield king. Near-unbreakable protection plus universal resistance shred keep him highly relevant.

On-Field Powerhouses

  • Alhaitham: Continues to excel as a Dendro DPS, delivering amazing Spread and Hyperbloom output.
  • Ayaka: Still the queen of Freeze teams, especially with Shenhe and Kazuha supporting her massive Burst.
  • Skirk (assumed release): Rumored to be a Cryo powerhouse with unique mechanics likely to redefine Cryo meta teams.

A Tier: Strong & Consistent (Reliable High Performance)

These characters are excellent and dependable but may require specific teams or higher investment to shine.

DPS Options:

Clorinde, Navia, Hu Tao, Lyney, Wriothesley, Ganyu, Xiao, Cyno, Wanderer.

Support / Off-Field Units:

Xianyun (Plunge teams), Baizhu, Kokomi, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Kuki Shinobu, Fischl.

Key Meta Trends for November 2025

1. Hydro + Archon Synergy Reigns Supreme

The Neuvillette–Furina duo remains the strongest pairing in the game. Furina’s colossal damage buffs push Neuvillette’s already monstrous output to new heights, setting the pace for the current endgame meta.

2. Pyro’s Comeback, Powered by Natlan

New Natlan characters and mechanics—along with Pyro titans like Arlecchino and Mavuika—are reviving Pyro’s dominance. The meta is shifting away from Hyperbloom-only teams toward newer, more diverse reactions such as enhanced Burning, Overload, and Melt variations.

3. The Rise of Lunar-X Reactions

Early insights hint at Lunar-Bloom and Lunar-Crystallize becoming major gameplay forces. These mechanics could significantly boost Geo and Dendro units, giving future characters like Nefer (Dendro) and Xilonen (Geo) a strong spotlight.
