As Genshin Impact progresses through Version 6.1 Luna II (released October 22, 2025), the powercreep from Natlan powerhouses like Mavuika, Skirk, and Nefer continues to sideline older limited units. Many early limited characters struggle with outdated kits, poor AoE, and lack of synergy in the current quickbloom, overvape, and hypercarry metas.

5. Shenhe (Cryo, Polearm - Released 2.5)

Genshin Impact Shenhe
Genshin Impact Shenhe

Shenhe's cryo infusion and plunge buffs shine in older Xiao/Hu Tao teams, but she offers no grouping, energy, or resistance shred. Outclassed by Furina/Xilonen for buffs and Kazuha for VV. Minimal Abyss presence.

Why she's bad: Niche cryo/normal DMG amp in a versatile support meta.

Better alternative: Xilonen (universal shred + heal).

4. Sigewinne (Hydro, Bow - Released 4.7)

I Have To Roll Sigewinne

Strong HP healing for Neuvillette, but no off-field app, cleanse, or shred. Bennett outheals + buffs ATK. C-tier support in most tier lists; low pickrate beyond niche HP scalers.

Why she's bad: Healing redundant; zero quickswap utility.

Better alternative: Baizhu (shred + shield).

3. Eula (Cryo, Claymore - Released 1.3)

Genshin Impact Eula Build Best

Physical burst monster once, now C-tier DPS. Superconduct reliant, poor AoE/mobile enemies, stamina-heavy. Community calls her "officially the worst limited" in 6.1 meta.

Why she's bad: Physical fallen off; burst miss = zero damage.

Better alternative: Wriothesley (melt hypercarry).

2. Klee (Pyro, Catalyst - Released 1.0)

Klee Burst
Klee is one of the best character for Ley Line

Mine explosions great single-target, but self-interrupt, stamina drain, weak AoE. C-tier DPS; <1% usage in recent Abyss.

Why she's bad: Clunky in multi-wave Abyss; no mobility.

Better alternative: Gaming (plunge pyro).

1. Aloy (Cryo, Bow - Released 2.1, Free Limited)

Aloy Genshin Impact Leaks

Collab pioneer's kit is archaic: slow pellets, conditional burst, no plunge. Game8 D-tier DPS; effectively 0% usage, outdone by free 4-stars.

Why she's bad: Outdated across board; uninvestable long-term.

Better alternative: Diona (shield + battery).

Fun in casual/overworld, but skip for Abyss. Prioritize meta like Furina/Nefer. Buffs could revive them—Natlan revamped some oldies such as Albedo.
