Another thing with Yanfei's attack that wasn't mentioned is that she sticks her tongue out for a split second at the end (extra points for smugness tbh)
man people dont appreciate claymore animations enough, claymores for me are one fo the most satisfying weapons to use because of how much weight exudes from their animation, and seeing how the animators conveys weights through different characters is one of my favorite things to look for in game animations.
I appreciate the feel of them and they convey their weight very well but in terms of animations they're nothing too fancy for my liking. In a game where people are flipping around in the air like Sayu my personal bar goes up where I'd rather things break away from realistic and just be ridiculous.
@@yvanael Claymore is my favorite weapon class and I agree with the tier list placements. They're very satisfying to use but when looking at their movements, outside of Sayu they're nothing too special.
@@yvanael Imagine hating someone just because they dont like claymore animations No offense but you kinda sound like someone who uses twitter just so you could scream at artist because you dont like the ship they drew.....
Bringing the tier lists that are impossible to disagree with. Kaeya's teleport will also teleport you through small enemies and it's really fun but a little jarring when you're not used to it.
Poor bennett... he has almost the same basic attacks as Kaeya but he gets the boring tier while kaeya chills in Fancy. Tho i definitelly give Kaeya the Fancy flare i love his last basic attack and the bounce he does afterwards, plus the fencing pose.
LET‘S GO! FINALLY THE UNIQUENESS OF 4 STARS GET NOTICED ONCE AGAIN!!! Ahem… I‘m so happy you also love to point out different, special things about each 4 star, what a wonderful video once again.
im incredibly biased but i really like chongyun’s normal attacks because he jumps twice in the sequence and he feels less like hes getting thrown around by the claymore like razor. i do think his ice blades should count too
Xingqiu’s attacks look like he learned them from a martial arts novel which he technically did and I think that’s a nice touch With Sucrose, why didn’t you even mention how she looks when performing the attacks 😭😭 they put so much personality into it and with the finisher she even closes her eyes and flinches, like she’s waiting for something bad to happen
She acts shy and timid like a deer and I think like how Gorou represents a dog she represents a deer wich is neat and she has all the shyness of a deer.
Yep. These are the type of things that make me love the characters. This is also why I put Thoma with my team of catalyst users: he's my wood cutter. Fun fact, Yanfei charged attacks work with mining rocks. A charged > skill > charged combo leaves stuff with one melee auto of health left: another job for my Thoma.
One thing about Chongyun...if you notice, he jumps wielding that claymore. Twice. Idk how much y'all know about weapons, but those thing are massive, and HEAVY. Any character using a claymore is cool as heck, but jumping with it is on another level. I know it's more about how interesting the animations are, but I think it deserves to be pointed out.
Considering that Chongyun trains a lot, he’s indeed strong. Well if he wanted to, he could just wield his Claymore one handed the whole time anyway without trouble. In fact, he literally does just that in Shenhe’s Character Demo.
The recovery animation for his second attack is also adorable, instead of pulling the claymore to him he basically does a little spin to pick it up. I think if he looked at the recovery/between animations too some characters would get a little more style.
I love ningguang’s attack effects, but i feel like theyre a bit stiff when in combat, but rosaria, i have to say, her normal attack was the only reason i risked a ten pull on childe’s banner lol
Her sound design is top notch but I did decide to just leave audio out of it since most people are just grunts and stuff and it shaves a lot of time off the video to not have to worry about speaking over the sounds.
xingqiu actually has one of my most loved NAs. they are just so smooth and simple, and they really suits him. i can spam them for hours when i'm bored in genshin.
This channel has a lot of charm and neat presentation while also having interesting topics and a fun personality so I am very confused how you don't have that many subscribers yet
Wow thanks that means a lot! I've been growing steadily but UA-cam is always a challenge however comments and interaction like this help a great deal so I appreciate it!
While 4 star charged attack animations can be very repetitive, I know 5 star attacks are usually very unique to each character. I know for a fact Itto, Raiden, Zhongli, and Xiao all have different charged attacks and I love each of them
5 Stars definitely get more of a unique touch more often with CA's like Zhongli, Raiden, technically Ganyu/Yoimiya but some still got the generic treatment, I may just make a separate list for 5 star CA's after the NA list but banish all the normies to F.
That's understandable. I know Shenhe's NA's look nice but her CA is just like Xiangling's but just a little different so if I had a list her CA would be an F I can definitely tell she'd been training in adepti arts with her NAs. Each of them look so graceful yet powerful
It's why I love using her NAs the most. She's a mortal but her NA has this very adeptal and graceful feel to it, but still having a strong force behind them. Both factors are from her lore and personality, and I love when attacks factor into the characters personality and even their lore. Like with Fischl's and Xiao's. All of Xiao's attacks feel fast and ruthless, just how an adeptus that has a past of slaying monsters should be.
Another 5 star NA animations I love a lot are Yelan's. She isn't released yet, but her autos are by far the most unique to bow users, especially considering she actually kicks her bow. Shinobu's NAs are pretty fun to me too, but sadly she isn't released yet either so we still have to wait a bit for her
I still just roll the dice with my skill critting and if it doesn't so be it. Granted I have R5 favs on him so I don't have to deal with the second layer of RNG as much.
It's a shame because, they put more effort into the animation of new 4 stars (Thoma, Yunjin) then old ones, so that's why their animation are choppy, while newer ones are so smooth
The funny thing is that if you saw the making of Yun Jin, you’ll see she was planed and made waaay before Genshin released. But she’s a character that represent something so I get that she was made with extra care.
I never noticed how Yanfei canonically smacks her fire attacks like a volleyball serve until I went through the interlude quest and saw it in the cutscene.
Pretty sad how basic my boy Razor is lol I would put Chongyun in "a little spice" tho, bc of the twirling and jumping, it feels very "martial artist". I love that finisher attack
While in most lists I always had something where I would love to disagree, this time... the only thing I can say is: Barbara has the animation budget of a 5* unit and I wish her kit had the same!
As much as i like Noelle, i would actually put her basic attack on the boring tier. And then swap that position with Chongyun, why? For a claymore user, his movements is...fluid.
It is, but I might not have mentioned it but i actually like how Noelle's aren't fluid looking because she has super strength, like her final slam are barely moves, presumably because she's a friggin tank. That's the way I see it anyway.
As a Chongyun main, a thing a LOVE about him, is his 2nd NA recovery, he’s just so cute. Plus and as others said, he’s hella strong, like he jumps with that claymore, definetly a strong popsicle boi
I find it funny that a lot of such tier lists rank Amber and Fischl so diffirently despite same attack animations. I don't mind getting Fischl some bonus points for poses, but highest rank for chuni and almost the lowest rank for Amber really shows some prejustice. Also, Chongyun's attacks are not the most basic attacks of Claymore users.
I randomly clicked on one Video of this series Like From a month ago, and it was cool to watch! Now I saw that you uploaded this Like one hours ago and was Like: Okay let's Go! 👌
Rosaria's autos are what got me to first put her on my team, back on Childe's first rerun. A year later, and she's now my main. She's triple crowned, has an R2 Deathmatch, and has several artifacts dedicated to different types on builds (phys vs cryo dps). Love her to death, and won't be leaving her behind any time soon.
Cool thing about Sayu, she is the only claymore user to not slamthe sword to the ground, cause she's a ninja, and slamming swords into grounds isnt ninja like (it makes a lot of noise :p)
I would've put Razor in a little spice just for his last attack and Xingqiu in style oozing from every attack because for me the attacks look awesome and precise, which really fits his lore and personality Also, I really like Chongyun's attacks, they are like Xingqiu's in the sense that they are smooth and precise, both look like they practiced them a lot.
Razor's attacks are so cute, he stumbles on his third attack as he carries the blade forward into his final attack that knocks him up. The details between each of their attacks is so nice, Xingqiu and Chongyun's jumps/twirls and flips are fun, Xingqiu's charged attacks are funny to me because he does a whole spin for his slashes, he twirls forward like a claymore user for them. there's so many cool details in them.
Absolutely loved the video 👍 I wanted to ask one thing though; I dont know if you do listen to their attacks, but sometimes hoyoverse gives a lot of detail to how attacks sound. This goes especially to bow characters however there's also the part with yunjin and Lisa's hidden melody (I've also noticed some string instrument when yae does her charged attack). I was just wondering if you did listen because I don't remember if you ever had mentioned how their attacks sound, even in the rankings before this. If not, you don't have to because most of the time, it's monotonous and could feel like water torture.
I've heard a lot of people talk about Lisa's music notes and that's a really cool detail but I would consider sound design a different thing altogether for this purpose. I decided to go full mute for this one up keep the video shorter and just to not hear a bunch of grunts and breathing.
Yeah agreed, a shame about many of these normal attack animations. You dont get to see them most of the time. My fave recent is Ayato's normal attack animations (and especially his charged attack). They ooze so much elegance and flair, but it gets hidden because he's mainly going to be used for his skill and burst, and then swap off.
He does though, if you want a shielder and don't care about the vapes then they do pair well together because Ayato gets Thoma's shield stacks very quickly
Ironically Thomas Pyro application is what makes him messy on a Hu Tao team, yet if he had much higher Pyro application, he would be perfect for Ayato.
Yunjin's animations and character trailer are some of the best I've ever seen for a 4 star. Her trailer and the music especially is one of the best produced 4 star trailers. It's so good.
So I'm not seeing any comments from any fencers so I'll pitch in my knowledge regarding Kaeya. There's actually three kinds of fencing, and one that would make the most sense for him would be Sabre, which is characterized by slashing movements. The ones most people think about are either Foil or Épée, both which are more "stabby" in nature. I've only ever done Foil though, so I'm not really qualified to say if his animations do indeed have Sabre influences.
I dont like your ranking at all but this is a good video, quick progression, clean showcases, nice overview and its interesting to hear your opinion as much as i disagree. You have earned yourself a like and subscribe, i like the effort put into this video.
Really nice vid!! Despite being a Beidou main I never really payed attention to the claymore-kick XD I will say, personally the reason I like Sara is more because I find her to be one of the deeper Inazuma characters because of how she was essentially used by her adoptive family, and less for the “cool strict woman” reason....but yeah, other than her burst really, her animations are just kind of dull.
Heizou: BEST ATTACK ANIMATIONS EVER! Its original and unique and I love the little floaty spin he does after his finisher omg I love his attacks but minutes after getting him I got Kazuha so now I have no reason to use him :( EDIT: I CAN MAKE HIM MY SPIRAL ABBYS SECOND TEAM DAMAGE DEALER OMG.
actually on what you said about amber (said from me that has done 1 year of arching and knows pretty basic stuff) to shoot mostly like perfect and kinda gurantee yourself that you wont loose your shot you close one eye though people that have done profesional training for global-wide competisions can get a few extra points for not closing one eye also kaeya has the first 3 attacks the same with bennett
y’know a lot of stuff about constellations pop up in these videos, maybe you could do a tier list dedicated to the effects characters get at certain constellations?
I like the Ragnarok Online BGM as always! It's interesting to see characters that share the same animation (Bennett and Kaeya, Fischl and Amber) to have such a big gap in the ranking. That little added touch really makes a difference.
Yunjin's attack combo is so graceful. It looks like she's dancing more than attacking but you know, with a sharp weapon. So don't go near her or you'll get blendered
i think beidou shouldve been near the top personally. she puts so much WEIGHT into those swings. puts her WHOLE back into it. those things look meaty asf. looks cooler when her sword is not a fish lol
Sayu also has a unique thing about her normal attack combo, she's the only claymore user without a slam move (most claymore finishers), she's a ninja after all, she doesn't want to catch attention by making too much noise Also I don't know what it is about Xinqiu, but he looks like he's scribbling with the tip of his sword like a pen with his third attack, I like it, tho the rest is kinda basic
I just binge watched all these videos and it’s kind of made me want to build my Barbara. Considering I’m at a point where I no longer struggle with any content in the game and have carries like hu tao, Ganyu and Zhongli, there’s no reason not to just use her for the sheer beauty of her animations from time to time
im a yanfei main, love her and shes so great. "the reason i still main her at (high) ar." isnt a good sentence. shes so mainable and has dps potential so yknow
There is one thing that i like about sayu's aa that i dont see get mentioned much, i dont know if its intentional or not but she doesnt slam her sword unlike most of the claymore users. This may be due to the fact that shes a ninja and well, ninja's be sneaky yo.
I feel like you didn't showcase Fischl's animations enough. She has different ending animations and voicelines between whether you end her normal attack string at N3, N4 or N5, which I absolutely adore about her animations. And while bow charge attacks aren't anything special, fully charged CAs have sound effects when aiming depending on the element, which is especially prevalent in Gorou's case. His CA sounds kind of nice
Remeber? Beidou was the first character with 5 stikes on NA and her weapon holding poss was also unique until eula came"she is first one to hold the weapon like that pose"
To me Sayu has one of the most interesting attack chain out of claymore, even though I don't like claymore users much but I bring sayu when exploration not to catch bug but to break rocks (and ofc spin everywhere)
RIP to Beidou's ankle and or shin.
Hey! Just a little fun fact. Lisa attacks have a piano key in each Lightining, its easier to hear when you mute everything besides SFX.
ayeee you put my main top at the list , your cool man.
Its (gen)shin impact for beidou
@@silverstrike8187 THIS 😔😭
I'm pretty sure Itto also kicks his sword so F to that too
yanfei tposing on enimies to assert dominance is one of the reasons i still main her at ar55.
Completely understandable!
agree :)
AR 56, she carries me in the stupid mondstadt talent domain
don’t forget the tongue lol
i main her at ar 55 too
Another thing with Yanfei's attack that wasn't mentioned is that she sticks her tongue out for a split second at the end (extra points for smugness tbh)
I didn't notice this but I love it!
@@Ratheil it's quite adorable >.
Wait she does? I've been maining her since probably my first couple days of playing genshin and I never noticed 😨
She also does it at the end of her skill, in the cutest way possible. I love her so much.
I just love the fact she plays freaking VOLLEYBALL with her fireballs.

I think kaeya wins a little more because of the sword flips, his bounciness, the teleport, and the elegance
You can tell that kaeya’s more trained, while benny is still learning, which is cool story wise, but unfortunate for benny which tracks tbh
@@HPFireYT poor bennett and his bad luck
Bennett was trained by kaeya wasn't he

look at xingqiu and albedos normal attacks side by side
Isn't xinqiu actually from some martial arts guild or something?
Yep. These are the type of things that make me love the characters. This is also why I put Thoma with my team of catalyst users: he's my wood cutter. Fun fact, Yanfei charged attacks work with mining rocks. A charged > skill > charged combo leaves stuff with one melee auto of health left: another job for my Thoma.
Fun fact, every explosion is good for mining rocks. That includes Klee attacks and Overcharged condition, so even Amber can mine electro crystals.
Im the local yanfei main stop taking my job, I will be homeless
One thing about Chongyun...if you notice, he jumps wielding that claymore. Twice. Idk how much y'all know about weapons, but those thing are massive, and HEAVY.

but did you see that chongyun holds his heavy ass claymore in one hand during his attack combo👀 even if smol he's strong as hell
Considering that Chongyun trains a lot, he’s indeed strong. Well if he wanted to, he could just wield his Claymore one handed the whole time anyway without trouble. In fact, he literally does just that in Shenhe’s Character Demo.
And jumps, he jumps with a fucking claymore, the guy jumps, with a claymore in his hands, Chongyun deservers more love
The recovery animation for his second attack is also adorable, instead of pulling the claymore to him he basically does a little spin to pick it up. I think if he looked at the recovery/between animations too some characters would get a little more style.
Yun Jin’s attack even without the poses
They look awesome

Thank you! Hearing this means a lot because it's why I started my channel, I just loved learning to edit!

I would put Chongyun in "a little spice" tho, bc of the twirling and jumping, it feels very "martial artist". I love that finisher attack
kaeyas teleporting saved me so many times, so for me he'll always have a special place in the upper tiers.
I love these videos where you look at the little things cause that's what I find myself doing with every character
While in most lists I always had something where I would love to disagree, this time... the only thing I can say is: Barbara has the animation budget of a 5* unit and I wish her kit had the same!
You forgot to mention that Barbara slaps harder than Will Smith
Yoooo the new outro looks cool as hell. This is the first time ive seen it
Lisa can probably go higher in the list if you listen to her attacks
Venti can make music with instruments while lisa just attacks

I find it funny that a lot of such tier lists rank Amber and Fischl so diffirently despite same attack animations. I don't mind getting Fischl some bonus points for poses, but highest rank for chuni and almost the lowest rank for Amber really shows some prejustice. Also, Chongyun's attacks are not the most basic attacks of Claymore users.
the first i notice about Chongyun's is how smooth his animations are, especially the leg flip in his final attack. i'd put him in at least B
You constantly complimenting Thoma's animations makes me very happy as a Thoma main--yes we exist :))

@@Ratheil it would be awesome to see a character who's a fencer honestly, the animations have a good potential.
after gorou drags his claw on the ground he actually growls at the target, and that makes him S tier rightaway for me

Yunjin's animations and character trailer are some of the best I've ever seen for a 4 star. Her trailer and the music especially is one of the best produced 4 star trailers. It's so good.
I love the little chuckle fischl does at the end of her attack string
Will c6 my bennett just to do pyro Thoma! His animations are just too clean! I love that man
This would actually be so fun lol
these ranking videos are so fun
FINALLY a tierlist where Yanfei's actually at the top!
So I'm not seeing any comments from any fencers so I'll pitch in my knowledge regarding Kaeya. There's actually three kinds of fencing, and one that would make the most sense for him would be Sabre, which is characterized by slashing movements. The ones most people think about are either Foil or Épée, both which are more "stabby" in nature. I've only ever done Foil though, so I'm not really qualified to say if his animations do indeed have Sabre influences.
As a Yanfei main since AR40 I’m completely biased and definitely agree with what you say, her attack animations and personality are so cute
I dont like your ranking at all but this is a good video, quick progression, clean showcases, nice overview and its interesting to hear your opinion as much as i disagree. You have earned yourself a like and subscribe, i like the effort put into this video.
You should do ranking wishing art!
I might!
Really nice vid!! Despite being a Beidou main I never really payed attention to the claymore-kick XD
I will say, personally the reason I like Sara is more because I find her to be one of the deeper Inazuma characters because of how she was essentially used by her adoptive family, and less for the “cool strict woman” reason....but yeah, other than her burst really, her animations are just kind of dull.
lisa normal attacks also make a weird piano sound every atk
*Me just chilling to Life will change in the background*
Unpopular opinion: Quite a bit of 4 star attack animations are better than some 5 star attack animations
Yanfei's CA is my favorite CA
And yes T-pose
Lisa's attacks have tingling noises
Me: He's gonna put Thoma In S tier.
Him: Puts Thoma Is S tier
Me: “what did I say yall”
Bennett and Kaeya have the same normal attacks except Kaeyas teleport im pretty sure. And their end poses
Is nobody gonna mention the music notes on Lisa's basic attacks? Aight
I like how all Sara attacks have a ending
Yo also forgot that Yanfei also sticks her tongue out every time she T-poses
Heizou: BEST ATTACK ANIMATIONS EVER! Its original and unique and I love the little floaty spin he does after his finisher omg I love his attacks but minutes after getting him I got Kazuha so now I have no reason to use him :(
EDIT: I CAN MAKE HIM MY SPIRAL ABBYS SECOND TEAM DAMAGE DEALER OMG.
I agree entirely, I love the kicking and punching! Only way I'd like it more is it it was Hydro lol
@@Ratheil Lmao yeah kicking and punching with bubbles XD
fun fact: yun jin third or fourth attack has a cool sound effect if you wait a little after doing it
actually on what you said about amber (said from me that has done 1 year of arching and knows pretty basic stuff)
to shoot mostly like perfect and kinda gurantee yourself that you wont loose your shot you close one eye
though people that have done profesional training for global-wide competisions can get a few extra points for not closing one eye
also kaeya has the first 3 attacks the same with bennett
y’know a lot of stuff about constellations pop up in these videos, maybe you could do a tier list dedicated to the effects characters get at certain constellations?
Did you know that Lisa's attacks play music? It's really hard to hear but they make a sweet melody.
I actually didn't know this cause my sound is usually quite low/off but it's an awesome detail that many have pointed out!
barbara’s normal attack animations are part of the reason why i decided to build her as a dps, they’re so good
I like the Ragnarok Online BGM as always!
It's interesting to see characters that share the same animation (Bennett and Kaeya, Fischl and Amber) to have such a big gap in the ranking. That little added touch really makes a difference.
Yunjin's attack combo is so graceful. It looks like she's dancing more than attacking but you know, with a sharp weapon. So don't go near her or you'll get blendered
i think beidou shouldve been near the top personally. she puts so much WEIGHT into those swings. puts her WHOLE back into it. those things look meaty asf. looks cooler when her sword is not a fish lol
Sayu also has a unique thing about her normal attack combo, she's the only claymore user without a slam move (most claymore finishers), she's a ninja after all, she doesn't want to catch attention by making too much noise
Also I don't know what it is about Xinqiu, but he looks like he's scribbling with the tip of his sword like a pen with his third attack, I like it, tho the rest is kinda basic
I just binge watched all these videos and it’s kind of made me want to build my Barbara. Considering I’m at a point where I no longer struggle with any content in the game and have carries like hu tao, Ganyu and Zhongli, there’s no reason not to just use her for the sheer beauty of her animations from time to time
I'm glad both Diona and Sayu are my sub dps, so I have a lot of chances to see their cute attack animations.
agreed with the thoma bit except the combat part. my dps thoma would like to have a word with u
im a yanfei main, love her and shes so great.
"the reason i still main her at (high) ar." isnt a good sentence. shes so mainable and has dps potential so yknow
Idle animations next?
There is one thing that i like about sayu's aa that i dont see get mentioned much, i dont know if its intentional or not but she doesnt slam her sword unlike most of the claymore users. This may be due to the fact that shes a ninja and well, ninja's be sneaky yo.
The laugh that fischl does at the end of bow combo is enough to put her at S tier
I feel like you didn't showcase Fischl's animations enough. She has different ending animations and voicelines between whether you end her normal attack string at N3, N4 or N5, which I absolutely adore about her animations.
And while bow charge attacks aren't anything special, fully charged CAs have sound effects when aiming depending on the element, which is especially prevalent in Gorou's case. His CA sounds kind of nice
Another detail fischl has is that after her three shots she looks at her back and laughs
Remeber? Beidou was the first character with 5 stikes on NA and her weapon holding poss was also unique until eula came"she is first one to hold the weapon like that pose"
Actually you could auto attack with gorou in a mono geo team if you have albedo in there because you can proc the blossom from a distance
i became a physical yun jin main after seeing her animations and i dont regret double crowning her
To me Sayu has one of the most interesting attack chain out of claymore, even though I don't like claymore users much but I bring sayu when exploration not to catch bug but to break rocks (and ofc spin everywhere)
Yanfei at the top lesgooo
