This page is designed to help you discover who is the highest damage dealer in the game based of the current version of the game, version 1.3. Their overall DPS (damage per second) is determined by their Single Target Damage and Area of Effect effectiveness. We have come to this conclusion from studying the community’s findings as well as our own independent testing.
A picture of Diluc, Keqing, and Ganyu, side by side.
This is all calculated at Constellation Level 0, mainly because not that many people will have it leveled to max and it can dramatically change the outcome of the rankings, for example, Noelle sits at quite a low tier of the DPS rankings but if you were to get her to max constellation, she’d be near the top.
With all that in mind, in our opinion Diluc and Ganyu sit at the top, mainly due to their low cooldowns, high ratios in their stats and how easy it is to reach their max potential. We are currently testing Xiao and Hu Tao’s DPS at the moment and it looks like Xiao will definitely be near the top with Hu Tao not too far away.
Eula¶
Eula, a Cryo-based Claymore user.
Eula attacks the fastest out of the Claymore users which increases her DPS considerably. On top of that, her Elemental Skill can reduce the enemies physical resistance, increasing her DPS even more, and she has fantastic AOE from her Elemental Burst which hits hard. With the correct build, she is one of the top DPS.
