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 Many early limited characters struggle with outdated kits, poor AoE, and lack of synergy in the current quickbloom, overvape, and hypercarry metas.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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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Why she's bad: Outdated across board; uninvestable long-term.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).
| Character | Lowest Tier | 6.0 Abyss Usage Est. | Key Flaw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aloy | D (Main DPS) | ~0% | Outdated Kit |
| Klee | C (Main DPS) | <1% | Interruptions |
| Eula | C (Main DPS) | <1% | Physical Meta |
| Sigewinne | C (Support) | Low | No Utility |
| Shenhe | B/C (Sub DPS) | Near 0% | Niche Only |
Fun in casual/overworld, but skip for Abyss. Prioritize meta like Furina/Nefer. Buffs could revive them—Natlan revamped some oldies such as Albedo.
