SR 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 against Magnas. Judging a character by HL usefulness alone may be unhelpful as HL teams tend to deviate from other content.
• 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 have their own rating system separate from other characters.
• Arcarum Evokers currently do not have any rating due to the heavily time-gated nature of their recruitment process.
• At the end of the day a tier list is just a tool to help you find useful characters.

• Attacker - Focuses on dealing damage through skills and attacks, including selfish or mostly-selfish buffs and debuffs.

• Debuffer - Focuses on decreasing an enemy's effectiveness or ability to do damage through stat decreases or statuses. Includes Delay and Gravity.

Single target UpliftedCharge bar is boosted on every turn buff. Decent attack power, break assassin and goes well in many SSR parties. Can compete with SSRs in earth for a party slot.
	Io		7.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Healer Given to you early on in the story. Clear and Heal II provide decent protection in the early game. By the time you've progressed far enough in the story to uncap her, you will have better options.

	J.J.		7.0
	Johann		7.0
	Johann		6.5	Role: Healer/Support Very simple healer kit; one of the oldest designed event characters in the game. Difficult to sustain a whole party with his single-target heal in longer battles. Brand new players may appreciate a free Light healer, but his mediocrity makes him easily replaceable.
	Juri		8.5	Role: Attacker Unique mechanic through Imperial SoldiersNumber of attacks and boost to C.A. DMG change based on number of Imperial Soldiers . Guaranteed TA and increased damage with 2 stacks of Imperial SoldiersNumber of attacks and boost to C.A. DMG change based on number of Imperial Soldiers . Loses value substantially with each stack of Imperial SoldiersNumber of attacks and boost to C.A.

	Kanako Mimura		6.5

	Karteira		7.0	Role: Attacker Passive and active Rupie generation. Runs the risk of killing enemies too quickly and not getting bonus Rupies. EMP works from the backline. Good for starting players who want to use the Rupie Draw, but loses value once you gain access to other sources of income.
	Karva		6.5
	Katalina		8.0	Role: Support/Defender The Queen of story mode; her kit stays useful for a very long time. VeilDebuffs will be nullified (1 time) "Veil" is an unofficial name used by the wiki for this status effect. Its actual in-game name is "Immune." is always useful. Learn what it does. Heal and Charge Attack buffed to be up to the current SR Character standards.
	Katalina		8.0	Role: Healer/Support Very similar to Katalina in terms of numbers and utility. EMP gives some extra utility to healing focused compositions.
	Keehar		7.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Does extra damage to foes with debuffs. ATK DownATK is lowered and DEF DownDEF is lowered in one skill.
	Korwa		7.0	Role: Support/Healer Powerful but unreliable single buff on long cooldown. Needs high charge bar and defensive support to get the most out of Toujours Ensemble.

	Lamretta		6.5	Role: Support Can grant ATK Up (Stackable)ATK is boosted while active (Stackable) Duration: 1 turn , but it can backfire. Cheers! can be particularly strong in certain fights, provided you can re-buff behind it.
	Lancelot and Vane		8.0
	Lancelot		6.5	Roll: Attacker/Debuffer Support Skill give him a boost for being paired with Vane. Synergy with Supplemental Damage through Southern Cross.
	Lecia		5.5	Role: Attacker/Support Guaranteed story character. 15% ATK UpATK is boosted Strength: 15% Windflect is a decent defensive skill despite the anti-synergy between RepelTaking less DMG and reflects attacks Damage Cut reducing damage taken and reflecting attacks. Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage! and Dodge Rate BoostedImmune to DMG and debuffs for a fixed amount while in effect .
	Lecia		6.5	Role: Healer/Support RepelTaking less DMG and reflects attacks Damage Cut reducing damage taken and reflecting attacks. Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage! for 2 turns for all allies. CharmedAttacks are slightly limited .

ManiacBecomes a Lilele-maniac (Recovery cap is boosted / Can't be removed) lasts forever, but can only be given to one ally at a time, with a 5 turn cooldown. Good for longer fights, when you can give every ally ManiacBecomes a Lilele-maniac (Recovery cap is boosted / Can't be removed) . Charge attack can heal for up to 2000 health.
	Lily		7.5
	Lina		7.5	Role: A bit of everything Two plain damage nukes make her great for hunting slimes. Can debuff Attack/Defense and heal, but the numbers on both are weak. Requires a lot of button pressing to boost charge attack damage. Base charge animation is 25 seconds long (on 1x battle speed). Uncapping her to 3* is practically required.
	Lowain		7.5	Role: Support/Debuffer His Charge Attack deals no damage and instead provides a random effect to all allies or all enemies. Cannot contribute to Chain Bursts, but his buffs/debuffs can potentially make up for it. His ATK self-buffs are quite potent. His kit is designed to work with Katalina and all-female parties. Can attain very high DEF with his self-buffs. Dagger affinity means he'll benefit more from Leviathan Gaze Omega weapon grids. Overall, a decent Water support character for new players, but his Charge Attack may not suit some playstyles.
	Lucius		7.0	Role: Attacker One of very few characters that can inflict Lethal HitInstant death for the victim. . All his skills have low damage cap, lowering his performance in more developed grids.
	Lucius		7.0	Role: Attacker Three nukes, with one being an all-enemy Blind. Suited for long fights with his support skill and second skill. Requires BurnedHP is lowered on every turn for maximum effectiveness, but cannot inflict it himself. Charge Attack's DEF DownDEF is lowered is trumped by summoning Colossus Omega. Designed to synergize with his sister Teena.
	Ludmila		5.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Her 10% DEF DownDEF is lowered Strength: 10% stacks with Miserable Mist. Can reach high damage output for normal attacks thanks to her support skill and Critical Hit Rate UpDMG is slightly boosted for critical hits ... ...if she won't miss. Can increase normal attacks' hit accuracy with her skill but not without downtime. Random effect of Charge Attack can debuff her or even hurt other allies. Difficult to manage and hard to fit into any party.
	Luna		6.5	Role: Intentionally knocking out allies Requires knocking out allies to use her skills. Difficult kit to use in general situations. Soul Conversion can act as a pseudo-Tactical Relocation, allowing for specialized setups without needing Nighthound. Gimmick character, but not completely useless.
	Lyria		8.5	Role: Support Some of the most unique mechanics in the game. Allows summoning twice on the same turn if in the frontline. Does not attack except for her Charge Attack. Varied party-wide buffs allow her to contribute to nearly any situation. Will need outside assistance to keep party buffed continuously.
	Mahira		7.5

	Mariah		6.5	Role: Attacker Three offensive skills, but long cooldowns.

	Meteon		8.0	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Provides a useful Wind party buff and a variety of debuffs although they have low modifiers. Long skill cooldowns hinder his effectiveness even with his Charge Attack's special effect. 5★ uncap enhances his party role and improves his damage output. Overall, a very good early-game support character for Wind.
	Mika Jougasaki		7.5
	Mikasa		8.0	Role: Attacker High attack power with BladeUses 1 Blade per attack (Can't be removed) stacks due to guaranteed triple attacks. Generates charge bar quickly along with high Charge Attack damage Her natural dodge rate is useful, but has extremely low DEF. Excellent attacker for an SR character.
