SSR Character Tier List

Source

All ratings from Gamewith:

• [グランブルーファンタジー.gamewith.jp]

Other recommended tier lists

• GBF Gaijins Tier List - Different priorities than GameWith. Tiers for general and advanced content. Longer character descriptions and gameplay advice.

Important notes

• 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 against Magnas. Judging a character by HL usefulness alone may be unhelpful as HL teams tend to deviate from other content.
• The Eternals have their own rating system separate from other characters.
• At the end of the day this is just a tool to help you find useful characters.

Her charge bar generation for the whole party is valuable for Dark element parties. Her Charge Attack deals 50% bonus damage on charmed enemies. Excellent in boss fights such as Luminiera Omega.

	Zeta		9.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer High natural damage output. Low maximum health gives her a significant vulnerability. Her second skill is a decent debuff, but has a very long animation, making it unsuitable for MVP racing.

	Zooey		10	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Conjunction allows maximum use of Enmity which Dark has good access to. It's so good it's useful for other elements. Decent attack along with her stellar support. Absolutely terrifying in shorter fights and even some longer fights where it's safe to stay below 4k hp. Of limited use to beginners. Strong in the mid and late game with Enmity gear, but her true potential requires insane gear.
