S-Tier: Top-Tier Performers
This tier houses the must-have characters, excelling across various game modes. Lily May, a recent addition, significantly boosts Wilder teams with high damage and utility. Thoran remains a top F2P tank, while Reinier is a crucial support for both PvE and PvP. Koko, Smokey & Meerky, and Odie are essential supports for diverse content. Eironn, with Damien and Arden, forms a dominant PvP team. Tasi offers strong crowd control for the Wilder faction, and Harak (a powerful Hypogean/Celestial) excels in prolonged battles.
A-Tier: Strong Contenders
This tier includes characters highly effective in most situations. Lyca and Vala utilize the crucial Haste stat effectively. Antandra serves as a solid alternative tank to Thoran. Viperian complements Graveborn teams with energy drain and AoE attacks (though less effective in Dream Realm). Alsa is a strong DPS mage, particularly effective with Eironn in PvP. Phraesto, a durable tank, lacks damage output. Ludovic is a strong Graveborn healer, synergizing well with Talene. Cecia, while still a capable Marksman, has been downgraded due to meta shifts. Sonja provides significant improvements to the Lightborne faction.
B-Tier: Situational Picks
These characters are useful for filling specific roles but are often outclassed by higher-tier options. Valen and Brutus are solid early-game DPS choices. Granny Dahnie provides decent tanking and support. Arden and Damien are PvP mainstays but less effective in other modes. Florabelle is a secondary DPS supporting Cecia, but requires significant investment. Soren is decent in PvP but not optimal elsewhere. Korin's Dream Realm effectiveness has diminished.
C-Tier: Early-Game Options
These characters are generally outclassed quickly. While useful early on, they should be replaced as soon as possible with higher-tier alternatives. Parisa offers decent AoE crowd control, particularly in some PvP scenarios.
This tier list is subject to change as the game evolves and new characters are introduced. Regular updates will reflect meta shifts and character adjustments.
