Star Savior Tier List (2026) - Best PvE & PvP Characters

Character Notes

Explore detailed notes of all highly regarded characters based on latest meta changes.

Asherah

A savior with two area-of-effect skills. Since this is a distribution character, it can be used when there is no good area-of-effect dealer.

Bunnygirl Scarlet

Lotto Skill: Area Dealer with a certain probability to reduce or reset the ultimate skill cooldown. ㅣ Special skills grant additional turns, so they are also good at lowering enemy toughness.

Epindel

A single dealer who grants immunity to special attacks | Indirectly buffed by Kira Arcana

Frey

Supporter who grants a shield to allies and removes debuffs | With the patch, the effect of generating a shield has been added when using the basic skill - Nova Burst.

Harley

A damage tank character that grants allies increased defense and speed buffs | she is more stable to stand in the back row than the front row.

Lily

A powerful ultimate skill + applies an attack power reduction debuff to all enemies. Used by Cosmo Gate's Immortal King Moguls due to the shield buff.

Omega

To build up passive stacks, you need to warm up. It is recommended to use at least one ally with a different star attribute.

Smile

The ultimate skill has a defense reduction debuff that helps with damage dealing. However, the basic skill coefficient is low, so it is too weak before the trigger skill is activated.

Carmen

she better than before, but it's disappointing compared to Emily. If there were an arcana exclusive to Carmen, she could probably be raised to B-tier.

Trish

A single-dealer assassin whose passive activates when killing an enemy | Indirectly buffed by Kira Arcana

Yoo Mina

This versatile PvP Powerhouse dominates the arena by utilizing Bleed effects that bypass enemy barriers, offering flexible build paths that can even synergize with Harmony-focused team compositions.

Charlotte

A single dealer who grants a critical hit chance + attack power buff to one ally | When using the ultimate skill, it grants an attack power debuff, which greatly helps the party's stability.

Dana

Powerful ultimate damage + applies a speed reduction debuff to enemies ㅣ When using a special skill, grants an attack power buff to yourself and one ally with high attack power

Elisa

A supporter who revives one ally or increases their action gauge through their ultimate skill. The patch has improved the buff that reduces the damage taken by allies.

Haydee

Has a buff that allows you to take damage from allies instead of them. The hit rate reduction debuff is also more helpful than you might think.

Kyra

Used as the main dealer of Cosmo Gate | Indirectly buffed by Kira Arcana

Lugh

The ultimate skill has a defense reduction debuff that helps with damage dealing. When using basic and special skills, it gives the enemy a freezing debuff.

Luna

A savior whose basic, special, and ultimate skills all inflict area damage. Useful when there are many enemies, but the damage is terrible when there is only one enemy.

Lydia

Savior with 2 speed reduction debuffs | Can apply debuffs with basic attacks, and when passive stacks are accumulated, damage is also decent.

Petra

The ultimate skill has a defense reduction debuff that helps with damage dealing. If you use Nova Burst in your special skill, it reduces the enemy's toughness by 3.

Seira

A single dealer that increases the attack power of one ally and increases the action gauge. ㅣUsed because the Cosmo Gate boss is a chaos attribute.

Tanya

A single dealer that grants a 1-turn critical hit chance buff to all allies | Special move increases the action gauge, allowing for a quicker deal cycle.

Hilde

Long-Term Combat Defender who excels at neutralizing threats before they land by providing complete debuff immunity and an opening barrier that ensures team survival from the very first second of the encounter.

Frey Noble Princess

When using the ultimate skill, she deals wide-area damage + applies a debuff that reduces the attack power of the enemy, which greatly helps the stability of the party. The special skill extends the debuff applied to the enemy.

Bell Rhys

A savior specialized in debuffing enemies | A debuffer with decent damage, if a gimmick that requires removing buffs comes out, it can be used as a key character.

Bunnygirl Claire

Powerful single dealer | Highly rated among moon attribute dealers

Muriel

When using the ultimate skill, it deals wide-area damage + applies a debuff that reduces the attack power of the enemy, which greatly helps the stability of the party. The special skill extends the debuff applied to the enemy.

Bunnygirl Charlotte

A single dealer who grants a 2-turn attack power increase buff to all allies | Although a sub-dealer, he is as strong as a main dealer.

Asherah Waltz of Starlight

A savior who can heal with basic attacks, deal single damage, and tank in the front line. When using the ultimate skill, removes allies' debuffs and increases their action gauge. | In case of 0 breakthrough, the damage and recovery ability are greatly reduced because the normal attack heal + joint attack disappears. It is usually better to use another supporter.

Emilly

The most stable character based on manual control | Even at 0 breakthrough, she shows really good performance.

Lacy

A savior that can do everything from area damage + single damage + tanking in the front line. However, since the release of the newer saviors, there are cases where Lacy is missing from the high-point compositions.

Understanding the Star Savior Meta: PvE & PvP Strategies

How We Rank Our Star Savior Tier List

Ranking characters in Star Savior requires analyzing their overall utility across various endgame activities. The difference between a T0 (God Tier) character and an A-Tier pick often comes down to Action Value manipulation, shield generation, and multi-element synergy. In our curated Star Savior Tier List, characters are evaluated independently for both PvE content—such as Cosmo Gate and story stages—and the highly competitive PvP Arena.

PvE vs PvP Focus

While some characters excel universally, many Saviors are specialized. A unit dominating the PvP tier list might rely on rapid tough-break mechanics or speed tuning to outpace real opponents. Conversely, top-tier PvE characters typically provide sustained healing, reliable AoE damage, or mechanics that bypass boss invulnerability phases. Tuning your squad based on whether you are pushing leaderboards or clearing weekly dungeons is essential.

Action Value & Speed Tuning

Your team's Action Value (AV) dictates the turn order in combat. Simply having the strongest SS-Tier attacker won't save you if the enemy moves twice before your first turn. Pairing high-damage dealers with supporters that grant action gauge boosts—like Seira or Elisa—can drastically shift a battle's momentum. Always check our specific character notes to see which units benefit most from speed tuning and AV manipulation.

Navigating the Pity System and Reroll Strategy

If you're missing top-tier characters, understanding the Pity System is your best defense against bad RNG. Before committing to a deep summoning session, use our Mileage Planner to calculate exactly how many pulls you need to hit guaranteed exchanges. For new players, executing an optimal Reroll Strategy during the opening tutorial can secure a highly-rated starting unit, saving weeks of grinding.
