Our tier list for Sword of Convallaria is dynamic and subject to shifts as new characters are introduced and balance updates alter the game's meta. It's important to note that even with B or C-tier characters, you can conquer the PvE content. However, if you're keen on optimizing your party, aiming for S-tier characters is the way to go. Below is our comprehensive Sword of Convallaria tier list and character ranking. We've also included a section on the best Epic and Rare characters to help you round out your team while you pursue those elusive Legendaries.
Tier | Character |
---|---|
S | Beryl, Gloria, Inanna, Col, Edda, Cocoa, Saffiyah, Auguste, Homa, Taair |
A | Dantalion, Magnus, Nonowill, Lilywill, Momo, Nungal, Simona, Acambe, Agatha, Caris, Kvare, Luvita, Rawiyah (Alt), Saffiyah (Alt) |
B | Faycal, Garcia, Maitha, Rawiyah, Samantha, Chia, Hasna, Layla, Pamina, Tristan |
C | Guzman, Iggy, Leonide, Miguel, Nergal, Teadon, Xavier, Alexei, Schacklulu, Xavier |
No surprises here; Beryl, Gloria, Inanna, and Col are prime reroll targets for a robust start. Beryl and Col stand out as the top DPS characters, with Beryl slightly ahead due to her Destroyer-type advantage against most types except Watchers. Col, a formidable rogue, can swiftly eliminate enemy teams from the side or rear, making her a must-have with attack and crit rate boosting gear.
Gloria and Inanna excel as support characters. Gloria can serve as a powerful DPS with her Flag buffs, knockback capabilities, and high damage output. Inanna, the dedicated healer, summons the Guard of the Princess—a controllable tank that absorbs hits and helps meet battle objectives, ensuring your team's longevity in tougher stages.
Edda, the first global addition, is a stellar support for magic teams, excelling in debuffing and easing Legendary weapon farming in Weaponry Trial I. Cocoa, introduced in September 2024, is the tank you need to replace Maitha, offering utility through heals, buffs, and debuffs. Reaching five stars maximizes her potential, but she's impressive even at one star.
Saffiyah and Auguste, known from CN and TW tier lists, are game-changers. Saffiyah, a versatile Seeker, summons minions, heals, and deals damage while avoiding hits. Auguste, the best auto-play character, dominates as the strongest Breaker DPS, making them essential for any team composition.
Dantalion and Magnus form a powerful duo, with synergistic attack buffs to plow through PvE stages. Magnus is a valuable tank to replace Maitha unless you have Cocoa. Dantalion, a resilient DPS, grows stronger as battles progress, capable of turning the tide even if your team is wiped out.
Nonowill offers great support with buffs and debuffs, complemented by her swift movement. Simona, added in late August 2024, is a battlemage who freezes and slows enemies while delivering heavy damage, perfect for magic-based teams alongside Edda.
Rawiyah (Alt) and Saffiyah (Alt) are strong additions. Rawiyah brings utility and high damage with AoE capabilities and self-healing, while Saffiyah (Alt) debuffs enemies' attack and buffs allies, adding consistent damage.
Maitha serves well as a versatile starter tank with decent damage and healing. She's replaceable with better tanks like Magnus or Cocoa. Rawiyah is a strong early-game DPS with AoE and self-healing, helping you breeze through initial levels.
Characters here, like Teadon, are decent early-game units, particularly as tanks, but they're less efficient and versatile than higher-tier options. They're placeholders until you pull stronger units.
Not everyone will have the patience or luck to secure all S-Tier units. Fortunately, Sword of Convallaria offers powerful Epic characters to bolster your party:
Role | Character |
---|---|
Rogue | Crimson Falcon |
DPS | Tempest, Stormbreaker |
Mage | Darklight Ice Priest, Abyss, Butterfly |
Tank | Suppression |
Healer | Angel |
Crimson Falcon has been a game-changer, carrying teams until players get Col. Her high damage, mobility, and frequent Memory Shards make her an early favorite.
Tempest and Stormbreaker are solid frontline DPS choices until you acquire Gloria. For mages, Darklight Ice Priest and Abyss are great picks, with the former using ranged ice damage to slow enemies and create debilitating ice tiles. Butterfly, more utility-focused like Fire Emblem's Dancer, provides minor heals and position swaps.
Suppression and Angel are essential for tanking and healing needs. If you're committed to Maitha, you might skip Suppression, but Angel's strong healing is crucial without Inanna.
