23			SS		SS	With less restrictions on how she deals damage, as well as her CC access (Freeze/Taunt), Ganyu's able to maintain her already high DPS much more consistently than other carries.				S		SS	High ratios, solid energy generation, team energy generation and VV access together make Venti arguably the strongest single target Sub DPS. Top tier AoE goes without saying.			SS		NA	Solely trivialises any mob chambers in Abyss while reducing RES and providing your team with energy
24
25			S		S	High ratios, low CDs and Pyro infusion allow Diluc to consistently make use of Vaporise/Melt.				A+		S	Even with most of her power budget in her Aimed Shot, Ganyu is still able to work really well as a Sub DPS, especially in situations where there are multiple enemies close to each other.			S		S	Provides an almost permanent huge ATK buff and top tier survivability. Pretty much no reason not to run him on most teams.
26
27			S		A+	Comparable with Diluc. Less energy reliant but more stamina reliant. Has difficulty triggering reactions but can instead set up Sub DPS.				A+		A	Despite being Geo, Albedo is still able to deal a ton of damage very consistently.			S		A+	VV access, solid skill ratio, cleanse access, heals. Able to fulfill a lot of support roles with just one slot.
28
29			A+		B	Even at C0, Ningguang can dish out of a lot of damage due to high ratios and short animations. However, she's still limited by her element and low AoE DPS.				A+		B	Another unit that is able to deal high, consistent DPS without needing much field time, however struggles in AoE situations.			A+		NA	VV access, solid grouping and decent EM buff. Synergises well on a lot of teams.
30
31			A+		B	Solid single target DPS due to being able to spam his skill inside his Burst circle, but is limited by its' AoE.				A+		B	Due to his high Burst cost and long cooldowns, you end up having to invest a lot his power budget into ER which hurts his DPS. Still a top tier enabler for Pyro units.			A+		NA	Similar to the above Anemo units, with a shorter CD but also clunkier Burst that needs to be played around to perform optimally.
32
33			A		A+	Even during his Skill, Tartaglia is surpisingly not that high single target DPS. However, he makes up for this with his AoE, great team set up and high energy gen/spammable burst.				A		A+	Ridiculous burst damage with a taunt that can help group enemies in AoE situations.			NA		A+	Provides a ton of survivability thanks to having both shields and healing in her kit. Better than Qiqi/Barbara since she actually generates particles.
34
35			A		A	A solid DPS that is very flexible in how she can work with the rest of her team, however is also pretty stamina reliant if you're wanting to spam her charged attack.				A		A+	Similar to Xingqiu, you end up having to invest a fair bit into ER which lowers her potential. Excellent AoE thanks to her Bursts' reach.			A		A	Although he provides solid CC and survivability, using his shield ends up hurting your DPS and energy gen.
36
37			A		A	Overshadowed by Ganyu, but still a solid DPS for a permafreeze team.				A		A+	Pretty flexible due to his variable Burst cost, with great damage if vaporised.			NA		A	Provides the highest healing in the game, but has pretty low ratios and more importantly, doesn't generate any particles.
38
39			A		B	High single target DPS in his burst, but limits your ability to swap to other units and make the most of your SUB DPSes. Claymore reach isn't actually that high.				A		A	A really useful enabler for Diluc/Bennett with solid damage if you Melt his abilities.			NA		B	Similar to Qiqi but with worse healing.
40
41			B		B	OK physical DPS that can work well if you haven't got any other options or prefer normal attack gameplay.				A		A	Similar to Chongyun, without the enabling but with a higher Burst ratio and better energy gen. Also works for Superconduct.			NA		B	Even though Xingqiu isn't run for his supporting abilities, I'd still like to highlight that he still provides a decent amount of damage reduction and healing that isnt reflected in his Sub DPS ranking.
42
43			B		B	Similar to Xiangling, an OK DPS that will likely jump up a tier (or two) once his changes come out in 1.3.				A		A	Free C6 boosts their value a lot compared other units. Their skill decent damage and the burst is essentially a permanent +10% Crit Rate if played well. Can be a bit clunky however.			NA		B	Similar to Xingqiu, her parry + damage reduction from her Burst can provide a decent amount of survivability.
44
45			B		C	Honestly, not that great as a Main DPS and is mostly carried by Oz even if you build Physical damage.				B		A+	Extremely strong in AoE situations where you're able to consistently bounce her Burst damage, but loses A LOT of value in single target.			NA		C	Having to swap to Noelle and normal attack just to heal ends up hurting your overall team DPS quite a bit.
46
47										B		A	Pretty low DPS since enemies can move out out of the pillars' reach. Can still be very useful though thanks to his CC and huge shields.
48
49										B		C	Not that great, but still has access to a taunt and decent Burst on a 12s CD that works great vs some shields.
50
51										C		B	Very long CDs, low energy gen and honestly, not that great damage.
52
53										C		C	Unless you run other Electro, you're forced into using her skill which is likely going to end up losing you DPS. The skill is decent AoE, but her Burst actually has no AoE damage per chain.

58	Based on community opinion, in-game experience, dps sim/theorycrafting and my thoughts
59	Please be aware this is a C0 tier list and constellations can drastically change a unit's viability
60	Also, tier lists by nature are highly subjective and the list simply reflects my/others' opinions

68	FAQ
69	Q. Why is X character not rated for Y role?
70	A. Characters are rated based on their primary roles at c0. Some units can fulfill other roles with higher constellations but as this is a c0 list I haven't included them (i.e. C6 Noelle, C1 Chongyun, etc).
71
72	Q. Mona/Tartaglia/X are all used in speedruns thanks to their burst damage, why aren't they rated as top tier Sub DPS?
73	A. Since this is a C0 tier list, it's mostly directed towards the average F2P/Monthly player with less resources and constellations. Consistent damage benefits them more in areas like the Spiral Abyss where they won't be killing enemies fast enough to see the benefits of Burst damage. Also, most enemies in the abyss tend to have large DPS windows to the point where you're likely able to fully make use of DoT abilities like Kaeya Q/Xiangling Q.
74
75	Q. Why is Venti rated as a Sub DPS but other Anemo characters aren't?
76	A. On top of the VV support, Venti provides substantially more DPS than other Anemo characters and as such is also rated as a Sub DPS. Also, the effects of VV are accounted for when ranking him as a Sub DPS, which is why he is ranked so high despite contributing less direct DPS than other characters.
77
78	Q. Is Ganyu really SS tier? Why'd you move her from S>SS?
79	A. She simply deals more damage than Diluc/Klee for the same amount of investment. On top of that, she's also way more consistent since she's higher range, doesn't rely on energy, CCs enemy (Significant since it helps land shots/increases DPS uptime) and can freely swap without it affecting Team DPS.
80
81	Q. Why is the list so different compared to CN lists?
82	A. Imo, the key difference is that the list is based on C0 and is meant for the general playerbase while those lists are based on CN meta and more targetted towards speedrunning/people past DPS checks. Burst DPS (Chongyun/Tartaglia) become a lot more appealing when you're way past the DPS checks and have their relevant constellations.
83
84	Q. Why are Xingqiu/Beidou rated as Supports?
85	A. Since the Sub DPS list pretty much only takes DPS into account, I thought it'd be important to highlight that those units are still capable of providing decent survivability.
