Reading the tier list

The following sections are general guidelines on how to interpret the tier list.

Important points

• The value and usefulness of a character varies based on your rank, your team, fight length, fight mechanics and how you play.
• Each element is evaluated on its own. A 9.5 rating in Fire is not the same as 9.5 in Water.
• The rating reflects the median usefulness of a character. A character may lose points for being hard to use or fit in a team, or gain points for being strong in certain raids. Judging a character by HL usefulness alone may be unhelpful as HL teams tend to deviate from other content.
• Ratings are based on the character's highest uncap level. Some character abilities may be dramatically different before reaching maximum level.
• Ratings are strictly taken from Gamewith. Tier list remarks and bullet points on gbf.wiki are not necessarily from Gamewith and are usually from wiki contributors.
• The Eternals and Arcarum Evokers have their own rating system separate from other characters.
• At the end of the day a tier list is just a tool to help you find useful characters.

Role meanings

Rating range for each rarity

SSR Characters

SSR characters are generally scored between 7 to 10 points.
However, only characters that affect the balance of the game as a whole may score 10 points.

For SSR characters an easy way to read these ratings are:

10 rating	Gamebreaking
9.5 rating	Vital in many team setups
9.0 rating	Fills the gaps between 9.5 characters
8.5 rating	Useful for specific fights or challenges
8.0 rating	For teams lacking something or rare circumstances
7.5 rating	Should have been an SR.
7.0 rating	Garbage

SR Characters

SR characters are generally scored between 4.5 to 9.0 points.

9.0 rating	An exceptional SR character. Equal power with average SSR characters.
8.5 rating	Outperform SSR characters with proper setup.
8.0 rating	Can compete with standard SSR characters for party slots.
7.5 rating	Higher SR standard. No real faults, and can complement a team well.
7.0 rating	Middle SR standard. Competent functionality.
6.5 rating	Lower SR standard. May perform a role decently, but will never excel.
6.0 rating	Functional, but easily overshadowed.
5.5 rating	The minimum SR usefulness.
5.0 rating	Ask for a refund.
4.5 rating	Garbage to detrimental. More trouble than they're worth.

R Characters

R characters are generally scored from 3 to 6.5 points.

6.5 rating	As useful as an SR character
6.0 rating	Outstanding for an R character. Exhibit a special feature or exploit that gives them an edge.
5.5 rating	Functionally equivalent to and typically able to replace a low-tier SR Character.
5.0 rating	Useful kits that can fit well into team compositions.
4.5 rating	Usable in standard situations.
4.0 rating	Serviceable but lack outstanding contributions to the team.
3.5 rating	Detrimental to themselves.
3.0 rating	Detrimental to the team.

How the Arcarum Evokers are rated

Ratings are taken from Gamewith's Evokers page. Rating explanations (in Japanese) can also be found on that page.

Since Evokers are obtainable by any player through a very time and resource-intensive process, they are rated separately from normal characters using a 1-5 star rating. Sephira Evolites are difficult to obtain and there is a limited stock available in the Arcarum Shop. Thus, the "priority" rating conveys a return of investment based on the Sephira Evolites used and the power/utility provided by the Evoker.

See the Arcarum Summons and Arcarum Evokers pages for more information on recruiting an Evoker character.
