Light Character Tier List

Source

All ratings in this page are taken verbatimExactly the same without modification from the Gamewith tier list

This page simply shows the ratings in table format, and adds short summary of the character abilities.

Other notable tier lists

• kamigame Tier List

Includes a ★ ranking for how easy a character is to use for beginners. More stars means they're simple to use off-the-bat, while less stars means the character either has a learning curve or require more investment to reach full potential.

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

Roles describe what a character is generally good at.

• Attacker - Focuses on dealing damage through skills and attacks, including selfish or mostly-selfish buffs and debuffs.
• Defender - Focuses on protecting the party through damage mitigation or attack redirection. Includes Party DMG Cut, Substitute, high hostility, etc.
• Debuffer - Focuses on decreasing an enemy's effectiveness or ability to do damage through stat decreases or statuses. Includes Delay and Gravity.
• Healer - Focuses on directly restoring the HP of other party (or raid) characters. Does not include self-healing or shields.
• Support - Focuses on increasing the party's (or raid's) effectiveness or ability to complete content through stat increases or statuses. Includes Clarity, Dispel, etc.
