Gran Saga character tier list

In Gran Saga, you have a typical JRPG filled to the brim with narrative and interactive gameplay, but it's not quite as simple as one might imagine. I have ranked all the characters into a Gran Saga tier list, so you have a clear idea of who you should deploy to form your team!
Before we get started, you're probably wondering why you need a character tier list. The thing is that the characters are all unlocked from the very beginning, which is not like in most gachas. Whenever you summon, you're not summoning for new characters, but rather for new Gran Weapons.
Understand the role of the characters
Each character has a specific element, and each one can equip specific weapons. Since the weapons are exclusive to the characters, you need to know which pool you want to spend your resources in whenever you summon them.The characters in Gran Saga are all good, and since they are unlocked from the beginning, the Gran Weapons you get can be automatically equipped. On the pages below, I've shared the recommended setup for each one of the best characters, as well as some useful info.
Players can pick up to 3 characters to deploy on their team, and depending on which weapons are available from the gacha, I recommend you deploy the characters that have a good synergy (like Las + Seriade for starters).
Gran Saga tier list for the Global server
Here you can find the complete list of characters available in the Global server. There are significantly more characters available on the JP server, but until they're released on Global, these are all the characters we have to deal with!Bear in mind that we're updating this tier list regularly, so whenever a new character becomes available, we're adding it here and ranking it accordingly.

S | Jun | Dark |
Quyi | Fire | |
Seriade | Water | |
Orta | Light | |
Fuxiao | Wind | |
A | Karte | Dark |
Las | Fire | |
Wyin | Earth | |

1
Jun

Name: Jun Element: Dark
Rec. Gran Weapons:
- Douglas
- Selphiris
- Bador
- Gabby
- Ran
- Teenie
- Lolos
- Pierre
- Felix
- Rilleus
- Neotera
- Kanna
Jun is a magic damage dealer who specialises in dealing immense damage against Light-type enemies. She is a single-target character, and she can be incredibly powerful against bosses. Even though she's the first one on the Gran Saga tier list, every character in the S tier is close, as their strength is situational.
2
Quyi

Name: Quyi Element: Fire
Rec. Gran Weapons:
- Samael
- Thelemis
- Scheherazade
- Avrey
- Inferni
- Akhenat
- Ailey
- Maylin
- Brin
- Hector
- Covette
- Maya
- Poladard
- Koya
- Elesse
Quyi can be incredibly powerful depending on which Gran Weapon she has. With Samael, she can gain a shield and deal increased damage, while with Thelemis she can specialise in AoE damage, scaling proportionally with the number of enemies in range. Overall one of the best options in Gran Saga in terms of DPS.
3
Seriade

Name: Seriade Element: Water
Rec. Gran Weapons:
- Chiyo
- Poseidon
- Aisha
- Dolores
- Hyphox
- Habaek
- Paycie
- Czerni
- Equila
- Vayla
- Ophes
- Benedict
- Chiyo
- Raham
- Librio
- Posedia
- Melty
Seriade is a staff-wielder who can heal or shield allies, but also deal incredibly high damage. She has Aisha - one of my personal favourites - which grants her increased ATK and DMG Immunity, as well as healing for allies when Unleashed. She also has Dolores, who not only grants heals to allies, but also resurrects allies when Unleashed. She is a top-tier support/semi-DPS.
4
Orta

Name: Orta Element: Light
Rec. Gran Weapons:
- Tsubasa
- Zato
- Khan
- Mayuki
- Natsune
- Anahi
- Sako
- Tenbatsu
- Aina
- Sourin
- Hotaru
- Haru
Orta is an assassin-type - a character who can melt bosses (especially when equipped with Tsubasa, which grants additional damage against bosses) and wreak havoc against enemies surrounding him. He can also apply a very useful CC in the form of Slow when equipped with Mayuki, which is one of my favourite weapons for him.
5
Fuxiao

Name: Fuxiao Element: Wind
Rec. Gran Weapons:
- Tien
- Hwarin
- Ming Ming
- Taibai
Fuxiao is a DPS/tank that specialises in crowd control and heavy damage. She is close-ranged, and she also specialises in Physical damage (unlike most of the other characters who deal Magic damage). She shines in prolonged battles, even having a Taunt for when the situation requires it. That can come in handy if the rest of your team is having a tough time, which brings her to the S-tier.
With this, we've come to the end of the Gran Saga tier list. There are other popular lists that we are regularly updating such as the Metal Slug Awakening tier list, or if you're into card games, then the Balatro Joker tier list is the one that you should take a peek at!
