General Hero Tier List


How are heroes ranked?

General evaluation of the overall hero skill-tree (SC) saves, and efficacy in overall content.

Use at endgame is emphasized, as well as how much benefit owning the specific hero can provide versus other heroes.

Note: It's hard to rank heroes overall for all content at endgame. This is a general attempt to do so, but there will always be exceptions! Also, it is important to try to have fun with units you enjoy, and not just stick to the meta for all cases.

Information

Order is present within tiers, but is still relative. So for example, within Tier 1, Kohaku is generally more valued from a meta perspective than Thunderbolt Sevia.

Soon: Clicking on the heroes will take your to their character profile for build advice, as well as some videos of them in action!
Update: Lily has a (work in progress) profile page now! More are to follow! Hope it's helpful, taking future suggestions or feedback.


Tier 0
