This Tier List considers not only the Base Attack boost provided by the weapon but also the percent stat boosts from Weapon Skills and their Weapon Refinement Levels.
Some weapons trade off powerful effects for long cooldowns or intricate conditions. Due to these limitations weapons with these kinds of skills are valued less.

Zhongli is good - definitely better than when he first came out. Venti is kind of an insane character overall with his crowd control which is why people were pulling so much for him. Zhongli is different since the petrification from his burst only lasts a few seconds. Most people pull him for his shield, so if you are looking for a strong shield or Geo character then you can pull him but it's not really that necessary. It just matters whether you like playing him :)

Jade Cutter is debatably the best sword for almost every single character in the game because of the silly amount of Crit Rate on it... Except for Bennett, who is ironically one of the only characters this list says its best for. I know they put it for Bennett cuz it increases his healing, but it also has the lowest Base ATK of any 5* sword, which means his Q will buff for way less, and let's face it, we're using Bennet for that DPS buff not big heals.
