S-Tier Characters (Top Performers):
- Lily May: A must-have Wilder character, excelling in damage, utility, and countering Eironn teams. Highly versatile across all game modes.
- Thoran: The best F2P tank, particularly useful until Phraesto is acquired.
- Reinier: Top priority support for both PvE and PvP, crucial for Dream Realm and Arena.
- Koko & Smokey & Meerky: Essential support characters for nearly all game modes.
- Odie: Excellent for Dream Realm and all PvE modes.
- Eironn: A cornerstone of dominant Arena teams (with Damien and Arden).
- Tasi: A powerful Wilder crowd control character, highly effective in most modes.
- Harak: A strong Hypogean/Celestial warrior whose power increases as battles progress. Difficult for F2P players to obtain.
A-Tier Characters (High Performers):
- Lyca & Vala: Excellent users of the Haste stat, boosting attack frequency. Lyca's PvP performance can be inconsistent.
- Antandra: A solid alternative tank to Thoran, offering taunts, shields, and crowd control.
- Viperian: Excels in most content except Dream Realm, synergizing well with Thoran and Cecia.
- Alsa: A strong DPS mage, particularly effective in PvP with Eironn. Easier to build than Carolina.
- Phraesto: A durable tank, but lacks damage output. Prioritize Reinier first.
- Ludovic: A strong Graveborn healer, excellent in various team compositions and PvP.
- Cecia: A good Marksman, but less valuable in late-game Dream Realm compared to newer characters.
- Sonja: A significant upgrade for the Lightborne faction, offering respectable damage and utility.
B-Tier Characters (Situational Use):
- Valen & Brutus: Good early-game DPS characters.
- Granny Dahnie: A decent tank option if Thoran or Antandra are unavailable.
- Arden & Damien: Meta PvP characters, less useful in other modes.
- Florabelle: A secondary DPS character supporting Cecia, but not essential.
- Soren: Decent in PvP, but outclassed in other modes.
- Korin: Less effective in Dream Realm due to recent updates.
C-Tier Characters (Early Game Only):
These characters are generally outclassed quickly. Focus on obtaining higher-tier replacements. Parisa offers some utility in specific PvP matchups.
This tier list is subject to change with future updates and character additions. Regularly check for updates to stay informed about the evolving meta.
