Tales of Crestoria tier list FAQ

Now we’ll answer a bunch of questions that you may have regarding our Tales of Crestoria tier list.

How did you pick your Tales of Crestoria Tier list?

We played Tales of Crestoria, and PvP in particular, extensively, to get a feel for the top performers. We then cross-referenced this with the potential maximum stats per character, favouring attack above all, and then considered their skills and mystic artes.

After popping all of that data into our supercomputer, we came up with this definitive Tales of Crestoria tier list.

Why are so many heroes missing from this Tales of Crestoria Tier list?

We’ve purposely left out any SR heroes or below, as they are not up to the same standard as SSR heroes. For that purpose, only SSR heroes make the cut.
