Understanding the Tier System

Different communities use varying tier systems, but they all serve the same purpose: helping you identify which characters are worth your investment. Here’s how the major sources break down their rankings:

• Kaiden.gg: Uses SS → S+ → S → A → B → C → D → E system
• Prydwen.gg: Employs T0 → T0.5 → T1 → T2 → T3 → T4 system
• PocketGamer: Follows S+ → S → A → B → C system
• SB-Meta: Combines Timeless Tier with S/A/B/C categories

For consistency, this guide will primarily use the SS through E tier system while noting alternative rankings from other sources.

SS Tier: Game-Defining Units

These characters are so powerful they can single-handedly carry teams and define the current meta. If you pull any of these, prioritize their development above all else.

Timeless Aiona

Role: Primary DPS | Moon Type: Full Moon | Best Modes: All

Timeless Aiona stands in a league of her own, so much so that PocketGamer suggests she deserves an “SSS” tier. As the game’s premier damage dealer, she excels in every content type with insane scaling and consistent performance. Her ability to teleport allies while dealing massive area damage makes her invaluable for both progression and endgame content.

Why She’s SS Tier:

• Highest damage output in the game
• Excellent utility with team repositioning
• Performs well in all game modes
• Scales incredibly well with investment
• Core component of many meta teams

Quinn

Role: Tank/Buffer | Moon Type: New Moon | Best Modes: PVP/Story

Quinn represents the perfect blend of tankiness and support capability. His unique “Cheat Death” mechanic combined with damage sharing makes him nearly immortal in most situations. As a buffer, he provides essential team-wide bonuses that elevate any composition.

Key Strengths:

• Near-unkillable with proper investment
• Excellent damage mitigation
• Provides valuable team buffs
• Synergizes well with most characters
• Essential for PVP dominance

Livian

Role: DPS/Support Hybrid | Moon Type: New Moon | Best Modes: All

Livian’s versatility makes her a top-tier choice for any content. She combines solid damage output with healing and buffing capabilities, making her a jack-of-all-trades who excels in multiple roles. Her manual play potential makes her even stronger in skilled hands.

Why She Ranks So High:

• Excellent damage-to-support ratio
• Strong healing capabilities
• Becomes significantly better with manual play
• Fits into virtually any team composition
• Scales well into endgame content

S+ Tier: Elite Performers

These characters are just a step below the god-tier units but still represent some of the best investments you can make. They’re highly versatile and can carry most content with proper investment.

Empousa [Blooming]

Role: Buffer/Support | Moon Type: Full Moon | Best Modes: PVE

The Blooming variant of Empousa represents a massive power spike over her base form, providing exceptional team-wide buffs while contributing solid damage. Her synergy-focused kit makes her invaluable for coordinated team compositions.

Joan [Ethereal]

Role: DPS/AOE Specialist | Moon Type: Crescent Moon | Best Modes: Bossing

Ethereal Joan excels at clearing multiple enemies with her devastating area-of-effect abilities. Her combination of damage output and crowd control makes her particularly effective in bossing content and stages with high enemy density.

Acappella

Role: Healer/Buffer | Moon Type: Crescent Moon | Best Modes: All

Acappella stands as the premier healing support in Silver and Blood. Her ability to heal the entire team while providing three different buff options (Crit Rate, Magic DMG, Physical DMG) through her Ultimate makes her essential for sustained content.

Albrecht

Role: Tank/Debuffer | Moon Type: New Moon | Best Modes: Story

Albrecht represents the evolution of tank design in Silver and Blood, combining traditional tanking abilities with powerful debuffing capabilities. His anti-heal mechanics and synergy potential make him invaluable for challenging story content.

S Tier: Strong Core Units

These characters form the backbone of most successful teams. While they may not have the game-defining power of higher tiers, they’re consistently reliable and worth investing in.

Notable S Tier Characters:

Stella – Excellent DPS with stasis abilities that can control battlefield flow Transcendent Ami – Top-tier tank with crowd control capabilities Seth – Reliable sustain with cleansing and synergy bonuses Seraphina – Strong DPS with valuable team buffing Valora – Solid damage dealer with crowd control and DoT effects Van Helsing – Reliable DPS with good synergy potential Fanny – Strong execute damage and DoT capabilities

A Tier: Solid Investment Choices

These characters are perfectly viable for most content and can serve as core team members, especially if you don’t have access to higher-tier units. They’re worth investing in but may eventually be replaced by meta units.

Key A Tier Performers:

Alene – Good synergy character with crowd control Lorelei – Decent DPS with crowd control capabilities Genevieve – Summoner DPS with good single-target damage Hati – Assassin with self-sustain mechanics Agnes – Debuffer with solid damage output Julius – Reliable damage dealer with consistent performance

B Tier: Situational Specialists

These characters excel in specific scenarios but may struggle in general content. They’re worth keeping for niche situations but shouldn’t be your primary investment focus.

Notable B Tier Characters:

Yggdrasil – Support tank with team buffing capabilities Darcias – Damage-over-time specialist Thibault – Debuffer with synergy potential Pavana – Crowd control specialist Spectral Gilrain – Assassin with high damage but risky positioning

C Tier and Below: Limited Use

Characters in these tiers generally struggle to find meaningful use in the current meta. While they may have niche applications, most players should avoid significant investment in these units.

C Tier Examples:

• Aiona (Base) – Outclassed by her Timeless variant
• Noah – Limited effectiveness compared to other DPS
• Clive – Underwhelming damage output
• Setti – Poor performance across all metrics

Team Building Strategies

Understanding individual character strength is only half the battle. Silver and Blood heavily emphasizes team synergy and moon type compatibility. Here are proven team compositions for different content types:

PVP Dominance Team:

• Frontline: Quinn + Transcendent Ami
• Backline: Livian + Timeless Aiona + Acappella

This composition provides perfect balance of tanking, damage, and support while maintaining excellent moon type synergy.

PVE Progression Team:

• Frontline: Albrecht + Bella [Fleeting]
• Backline: Empousa [Blooming] + Joan [Ethereal] + Acappella

Focused on sustained damage and support for clearing challenging story content and boss encounters.

Bossing Specialized Team:

• Frontline: Quinn + Seth
• Backline: Joan [Ethereal] + Dalcarlo + Livian

Maximizes burst damage and debuffing capabilities for taking down high-health bosses quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is this tier list updated?

This tier list is updated monthly based on community feedback, balance patches, and new character releases. Major updates typically occur when new limited characters are released or significant balance changes are implemented.

Should I pull for limited characters?

Limited characters are generally worth pulling for as they’re often meta-defining and unavailable outside their specific events. However, consider your current roster and resource availability before committing to limited banners.

How important are moon types?

Moon types are crucial for team synergy. New Moon characters typically excel at tanking and support, Crescent Moon focuses on damage and utility, while Full Moon often provides specialized damage or support roles.

Can low-tier characters become viable?

How do I get started if I’m new?

Focus on building a balanced team with one tank, one healer/support, and two damage dealers. Prioritize characters from A tier and above, and don’t be afraid to use lower-tier characters while you build your ideal team.

What’s the best way to invest resources?

Invest primarily in your core team (4-5 characters), focusing on getting them to Spirit Siphon 7 before spreading resources too thin. Quality over quantity is key in Silver and Blood.
