The best constellations to get depends on what characters and constellations you already have. This tier list is based on the ideal constellation amount for each available character.
Note that most of the characters have a lackluster C1 and so we're mostly focusing on constellations which can be a good stepping stone should you wish to obtain more of them from their reruns.
Version 7.0 Update
Nine characters were added to the selection list for Seasion 5 of the To Temper Thyself event in the Version 7.0 update!
Because of the recent Witch's Revelation buffs and the new Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl reactions, the ratings for all characters were adjusted.
Constellation Ranking Explanation

|---|---|---|---|
| SS Tier | S Tier | A Tier | B Tier |
SS Tier Constellations
| Character | Strengths |
|---|---|
|
Yae Miko
(C1) |
・Yae Miko's Witch's Revelation buffs enhances the DMG from her totems, extends their duration, and gives her access to Stellar-Conduct DMG while in a Polestar Field. ・Her C1 massively reduces her Energy Recharge requirements and her Stellar-Conduct DMG. |
|
Wriothesley
(C1) |
・His Witch's Revelation buff enables him to deal Stellar-Conduct DMG while in a Polestar Field, and lets him heal more often from his special Charged Attack. ・C1 enables more instances of his special Charged Attack and increases his overall DMG. |
|
Qiqi
(C1, C6) |
・ With the Witch's Revelation buff, her Skill CD is greatly reduced and she provides Stellar-Conduct DMG buffs to her party while in a Polestar Field. Qiqi's C1 also lets her regenerate energy from her skill hitting enemies with the buff active. ・Qiqi's C6 makes her one of the best healers in the game, as her Elemental Burst revives all nearby fallen party members and regenerates 50% of their HP. |
|
Mizuki
(C2) |
・ After obtaining her Witch's Revelation buff, Mizuki is able to deal Stellar-Swirl DMG, and can become a great Support for dedicated Stellar-Swirl teams. ・At C2, Mizuki becomes a great all-rounder buffer for Swirl teams. |
|
Cyno
(C1 or C3) |
・The Witch's Revelation buff grants Cyno more uses of his special Skill, and enables him to deal Stellar-Conduct DMG while in a Polestar Field. ・Cyno's C1 increases his Normal ATK Speed and lets him deal more DMG, and if you already have his C2 you can directly increase his Burst's level with C3. |
S Tier Constellations
| Character | Strengths |
|---|---|
|
Klee
(C1, C2) |
・With the Hexerei Buffs, C1 increases her damage out by having an additional sparks during her attacks and having an ATK buff when that is triggered. ・C2 now shreds enemy DEF by 20% for 10s when she deals DMG with her Elemental Skill. |
|
Albedo
(C2) |
・If you already have his C1, Albedo's C2 allows his Elemental Burst to lighten his kit's split-scaling issues, as DEF will benefit both his Skill and Burst. ・New Hexerei buffs allows Albedo to have off-field capabilities with his C2. Additionally, when triggered, it provides an Elemental Mastery buff for the party. |
|
Mona
(C1, C2) |
・Hydro-elemental reactions are buffed by 15%. ・Hexerei buffs increases the buff by 160%, encouraging Mona to have a Main DPS archetype. |
|
Nilou
(C1, C2) |
・Quite possibly one of the best constellations to pick with the eve of Lauma, her C1 and C2 provides an extension of her Skill duration and Hydro and Dendro RES reduction. |
|
Baizhu
(C1, C2) |
・C1 lowers his Energy Cost requirement. ・Strongly recommended to get his C2 if you already have his C1, as it provides a periodic off-field healing and single instance of Dendro application even with Baizhu not actively using any of his skills. |
|
Xianyun
(C2) |
・Getting Xianyun's C2 doubles the Plunging Attack DMG buffs she gives during her Elemental Burst. |
A Tier Constellations
| Character | Strengths |
|---|---|
|
Hu Tao
(C1) |
・Drastically improves her playstyle as her C1 removes Stamina cost on her Charged Attacks while at her Skill state. |
|
Jean
(C4) |
・Reduces Anemo RES by 40%, which is a rare debuff. ・Lower in the priority if you're already choosing her as the free 5-star Standard Character every Anniversary Patch. |
|
Dehya
(C1) |
・Dehya's C1 improves her gameplay as HP now matters on her damaging multipliers. ・Lower in the priority if you're already choosing her as the free 5-star Standard Character every Anniversary Patch. |
|
Xiao
(C1) |
・Increases his Skill charge by 1, which also lowers his Energy cost for the second or subsequent Elemental Bursts. |
|
Tighnari
(C4, C6) |
・Tighnari is the best DPS to pick from the Standard Banner, the more constellations you have near to C6, the closer he is to current S-tier C0 DPS. ・Lower in the priority if you're already choosing him as the free 5-star Standard Character every Anniversary Patch. |
|
Ayaka
(C2) |
・Her Elemental Burst will now have 2 smaller versions of the attack, which provides more coverage and more damage to her placement-reliant Burst. |
|
Shenhe
(C1) |
Premium support for Cryo DPS, gives an additional charge on her Skill which provides more energy and allows her to use both the Normal and Hold variants of her skill. |
|
Ganyu
(C1) |
・Reduces opponents' Cryo RES when they are hit by her Level 2 Charged Attack. |
|
Wanderer
(C2) |
・If you already have his C1, C2 is his best early constellation damage spike. |
|
Navia
(C1, C2) |
・ Navia's C1 enables her to cast her Burst off-cooldown and makes her Elemental Skill usage Smoother. ・If you already have her C1, C2 is also a good choice as it provides additional CRIT Rate and instance of DMG for her Elemental Skill. |
|
Emilie
(C1, C2) |
・C1 is already a good investment for Emilie as it gives her increased DMG, while C2 decreases the enemy's Dendro RES by 30%. |
|
Lyney
(C2) |
・ CRIT DMG is greatly increased as long as Lyney is on the Field. |
B Tier Constellations
| Character | Strengths |
|---|---|
|
Itto
(C2) |
・If you already have his C1, C2 is another QoL which alleviates his Energy Costs a bit in Mono-Geo. |
|
Kokomi
(C2) |
・Most of her constellations are just for her on-field kit, which isn't that recommended to use if you're not using her Bloom teams. However, C2 is the only supportive constellation available for her and by far the most worthwhile one that increases her Skill's healing bonus. |
|
Sigewinne
(C1) |
・ C1 increases uptime for her heals, trapping utility, and allows her to add more Convalescence procs for every bounce. Her other constellations are lacklustre in comparison until you get to C6, which gives her some Sub-DPS capabilities. |
|
Diluc
(C4) |
・None of his constellations are particularly interesting nor powerful to get in terms of DMG output aside from his C4. ・Lower in the priority if you're already choosing him as the free 5-star Standard Character every Anniversary Patch. |
|
Chiori
(C1, C2) |
・C1 lets Chiori summon another Tamoto on the field so long as there is another geo character in the party. C2 gives her another summon to deal off-field DMG with, but is not as necessary. |
|
Clorinde
(C2) |
・Significantly increases her DMG and interruption resistance if an ally party member triggers an Electro-related reaction. Recommended if you already have her C1 and are actively using her. |
|
Ayato
(None) |
・His early constellations aren't that spectacular and only gives him slight damage boosts. Only pick Ayato if you have him at C5 and you want his C6 powerspike. |
|
Eula
(None) |
・Eula's constellations are dated. Only pick Eula if you have her at C5 and you want her C6 powerspike. |
|
Keqing
(None) |
・Keqing's constellations aren't necessarily good, but all of them provide some damage bonus up to C4. ・Lower in the priority if you're already choosing her as the free 5-star Standard Character every Anniversary Patch. |
|
Yoimiya
(None) |
・Yoimiya's constellations are very lackluster and only provides some small damage increase. |
|
Tartaglia
(None) |
・Tartaglia doesn't have a good constellation when it comes to his main role in DPS. You won't need to get his cooldown reduction constellations as managing it depends on the player's output. Should you wish to have a constellation for Tartaglia, C4 at least gives him some supportive capibilities as it'll provide him some off-field Hydro application. |

I think Wriothesley C2 should also be mentioned here. Many people got his C1 on his release because of his "clunky" playstyle without it. And his C2 is definitely strong.
