The Pyro Archon remains a fan-favorite for her:

Notable Omissions and Surprises
While the list features many expected meta characters, some observations stand out:
- Bennett remains the only 4-star character in the top 10, proving his enduring value

- Kazuha's position at #10 shows increased competition for Anemo support slots
Future Meta Predictions
As version 6.0 approaches with a new region, players anticipate:
