Guardian Tales tier list explained
Before we dive in, here are some important points about our Guardian Tales tier list.
Firstly, ranking characters in any gacha game can be tricky, and is often subject to a variety of different factors. For the sake of this list, we based our ranks on the characters' overall potential and performance in their best team for each of the main types of content. However, keep in mind that teams in Guardian Tales can have a massive impact on how a character performs in different game modes, so keep that in mind!
As for ranks, S-rank characters are naturally the best in that gameplay mode, whereas D-rank are essentially unusable, and should be avoided.
If you want to see an even more in-depth dive into each of the characters and their ranks, be sure to check out the community Guardian Tales tier list here (it's been absolutely integral in helping us work out ranks in this tier list!). And, if you need further help working out who to pull for, you can check out the Guardian Tales subreddit or join the official Guardian Tales Discord – the community is extremely friendly and helpful, and are always happy to give personal advice.

How do I reroll in Guardian Tales?
Unlike in many gacha RPGs, performing a reroll in Guardian Tales is surprisingly easy.

- Create a guest account when starting the game (this is important, as there's a 24-hour waiting period for deletion on any bound accounts. Bind it later)
- On the main menu, tap the cog icon at the top-right of the screen to access the settings.
- Tap 'Account Settings'.
- Scroll down to the bottom and tap 'Delete Account'.
- Hit 'Confirm' and Guardian Tales will close
- Simply boot up the game again and start over.
