SS Tier Claymore Characters

Character Roles and Strengths
Genshin - Mavuika Mavuika As a DPS
・Absurdly high-scalings from her burst damage that can flex as either on-field, off-field or quick-swap.
・Strong in both Vaporize and Melt, which are the best reactions for damage as a Pyro character.
・Exploration ability combines most of the Natlan characters' strengths all in one character.
As a Sub-DPS
・Off-field Pyro application, which is easy to access from her Elemental Skill also targets all enemies within the circle, is rare in the game.
・Can still act on-field as a quick-swap option that should still decimate opponents due to its sheer scaling.

S Tier Claymore Characters

Character Roles and Strengths
Genshin - Kinich Kinich As a DPS
・Specializes in Burning or Burgeon teams, and excels on single-target situations.
・Extremely mobile playstyle and grappling hook is great for exploration, although it can be a struggle to use in combat on uneven surfaces.

・If Elemental Burst doesn't hit or crit, the bulk of Eula's damage is lost.
