S-Tier Characters: Top Performers
Lily May, a recent addition, is a must-have Wilder character, excelling in damage and utility. She counters Eironn teams in PvP and significantly boosts Wilder team performance.
Thoran remains the best F2P tank, even with the introduction of Phraesto (considered a luxury unit). Reinier is a top-priority support for both PvE and PvP.
Koko and Smokey & Meerky are essential supports for various game modes. Odie shines in Dream Realm and all PvE content.
Eironn, combined with Damien and Arden, forms a dominant Arena team.
Tasi (added November 2024) is a versatile Wilder crowd control character, excelling in most modes except perhaps Dream Realm (though this might change).
Harak (Hypogean/Celestial) is a powerful Warrior whose strength increases with each enemy kill. He's difficult for F2P players to obtain.
A-Tier Characters: Strong Contenders
Lyca and Vala effectively utilize the Haste stat, crucial for increased attack frequency and speed. Lyca boosts party Haste, while Vala increases her own with each marked enemy kill; Lyca struggles in PvP.
Antandra is a solid tank alternative to Thoran, offering taunts, shields, and crowd control.
Viperian complements a Graveborn core with energy drain and AoE attacks, but struggles in Dream Realm.
Alsa (added May 2024) is a strong DPS mage, particularly effective with Eironn in PvP. She's easier to build than Carolina and fills a similar role.
Phraesto (added June 2024) is a durable tank but lacks damage output.
Ludovic (added August 2024) is a strong Graveborn healer, synergizing well with Talene and excelling in PvP.
Cecia, while a good Marksman, has decreased in value due to newer characters and meta shifts.
Sonja (added December 2024) significantly improves the Lightborne faction, offering respectable damage and utility across game modes.
B-Tier Characters: Situational Use
These characters are suitable for filling roles, but less valuable than A or S-tier heroes. Prioritize replacing them with higher-tier alternatives.
Valen and Brutus are good early-game DPS options. Granny Dahnie is a decent early-game tank.
Arden and Damien are PvP meta mainstays, but less useful in other modes.
Florabelle (added April 2024) is a secondary DPS who supports Cecia but isn't essential.
Soren (added May 2024) performs decently in PvP but is outclassed in other modes.
Korin's Dream Realm effectiveness has decreased.
C-Tier Characters: Early Game Only
These characters are quickly outclassed and should be replaced as soon as possible. Parisa, while having a powerful AoE attack, is quickly surpassed.
This tier list is subject to change with future updates and character adjustments. Continuously review and adapt your team composition based on new releases and meta shifts.
