Grand Summoners tier list - The best characters ranked
Like most of the other outstanding RPGs, we firmly believe that a Grand Summoners tier list of best heroes is needed to help new players, as well as those who are more experienced and looking to min-max everything. Feel free to visit it every now and then, as we will keep it updated to the latest version and tweak it to reflect any changes.
Grand Summoners is an RPG made for anime fans by Good Smile Company. It is about playing with ancient heroes in a fantasy universe, featuring all the elements of a standard RPG while blending it with beautiful anime content.
It claims to help console gamers who wish to experience their childhood once again in a better and improved way. It is well-designed if you're seeking an action-oriented adventure journey with flashy animations and visually impressive scenes.
How to choose the right heroes for the role?
However, people often fail to choose the perfect hero for a particular role, as there are hundreds of heroes, each with different skill sets and abilities. Not all of them are effective in every battle. So, you will have to find the best among the numerous available options before taking on the demons.- Our collection of similar lists includes an Another Eden tier list, a PGR tier list, Warpath's best officers and many others!
In order to help you sort the great from the not-so-great, we have carefully curated a Grand Summoners tier list based on their roles. The tiers start from S+ and move down to S, A, B, C, D.

The Top of this Grand Summoners tier list is a collection of god-level heroes due to their effectiveness and durability on the battlefield. Characters in this tier have huge advantages over others and cannot be easily countered. Lastly, they are well-balanced and scale up easily.
Berwick’s triple passive is the only essential thing you initially need. Later on, Flame Nova and Flare Bust scale up significantly, making them the top hero in the S+ Tier.
Vox holds second place overall and is the best Water element hero. His Brilliant Blades Art is the reason he sits in the top tier among all other heroes of the Water Element.
In the third place, we have Mako, the best support element hero who could make her way to the top tier, as this meta is all about attack and support. Her advanced support skillset syncs well with all heroes, irrespective of elements.

The heroes in this category are continuously transferred between the upper and lower tiers as their stats and attributes change frequently. Some of the characters get countered, while the rest of them are used only in particular situations.
Raphtalia is at the top of this tier, and is a 5-Star rarity hero. You can use her scaling crit damage that comes from her passive. And if you lack accuracy, then her skills will prove invaluable, as they grant an increase in accuracy by 20%.
High Elf Archer is also similar to Raphtalia, as they both deal crit damage. The only exception is her accuracy.
Then, in third place, is Queen of Ancient, the only healer who earns a high spot on this tier list. Her ability to increase the damage of her allies is what earns her a spot.

The middle of our Grand Summoners tier list consists of average heroes, a decision based on their counter abilities, stats and damage scaling. These characters are best when played in dungeons, and of course, they entirely depend on items.
Tier A is topped by Bloody Devil Spy Millenia, a fire damage hero whose massive AoE damage crits periodically. Illusory Twin Blades Melia is a nightmare for any Fire Enemy as her damage doubles if she’s against a Fire element. Lastly, Benimaru performs exceptionally well if he has low HP, as the extra damage from his arts triggers.

You probably don't want to choose these heroes as your main, as they fall out of higher-level matches and their skill sets are pretty much useless against the top ones. In case you want a supporter, the characters on this part of the tier list will work great.
As we have mentioned, the tier prioritises Support heroes. It is pretty much open to using any supporter you want.

Heroes from the bottom of our Grand Summoners tier list are completely out of the meta and should not be used if you wish to have an easy match. Their skills and attributes are outdated and would require a revamp to climb up the tiers.
Finally, as we close out this tier list, the only heroes we can recommend you use in the high-level matches are Dragon Master Zoroas, Mother of Dragons Alche and Dark Destroyer Leon. However, no hero is indeed bad, and it entirely depends on you. But still, there are some criteria and requirements you need to fulfil while choosing which character to take into battle.
