Xin

Xin

4 Stars thunder thunder Destruction Destruction C Tier

Every game has that one character who is just completely outclassed at launch; unfortunately, Xin is that character. Her damage numbers are extremely low compared to her very stiff competition; Thunder is an oversaturated element and Xin is not out damaging Li Chi or Viola, and she’s much stricter to execute compared to them despite the worse reward. She does have a fairly simple rotation and can function decently in quick swap situations or as a pseudo breaker, but as a dedicated DPS Xin simply cannot compete.

How The Tier Is Calculated

Scores are based on testing from P0 to P6, talent and skill multiplier checks, in-depth combat testing, and team value. Team score uses a 1 to 5 scale: 5 is irreplaceable, 4 is great in most content, 3 is a good substitute, 2 is a last resort, and 1 should generally not be used.

Role score weights depend on the character's role, then challenge-context scores are factored in through Brute Force, Leaderboard, and Multiverse performance.

Final score bands: EX 4.5-5, S+ 4.1-4.49, S 3.6-4.09, A 3.1-3.59, B 2.6-3.09, C 1-2.59. Challenge weights: Brute Force 20%, Leaderboard 40%, Multiverse 40%.

Role Weights

Destruction: Damage Output 50%, Utility 25%, Handling 25%.

Breaker: Damage Output 25%, Utility 50%, Handling 25%.

Assist: Damage Output 34%, Utility 33%, Handling 33%.
