What Each Tier Means
S: These characters are perfect for those who typically struggle with complex combat and want a unit that is well-balanced and a decent all-rounder, who also fits most situations effortlessly. They’re strong, versatile, and get the job done.
A: Practising a blend between styles, offering combat versatility and adaptability, these second-tier units are great options if you’re not lucky enough to pull the S-Tiers, or want to try somebody new.
B: Nestled into the average tier, these are solid options if you’re after a character who is very good at their own thing. Those in this tier don’t explore much outside of their combat niche, but are formidable in the right hands.
C: Those in this tier have a few additional uses from the lesser tier, be it more fluid abilities, or just overall easier to synergise with.
D: There aren’t really any ‘bad’ characters in Destiny Rising, but there certainly are those that seem to shine situationally and are quite niche and tricky to master. But, if you like these characters and have fun playing them, then by all means go ahead!
