Idle Huntress tier list and a complete reroll guide
Are you eager to learn what the best characters in the game are? Then our Idle Huntress tier list will give you all the information you need in order to put together some powerful teams, no matter the content you're aiming to clear.
Since there are several types of content in the game, we've come to the conclusion that the best approach would be to create a tier list for each one of those categories. Therefore, we've got an overall Idle Huntress tier list for all the best characters and three content-locked ones (PvE, PvP, Boss). These are all important for their respective content, but when you're just starting out, you might want to look at the overall tier list or just at the PvE one.
- We've also listed the currently available Idle Huntress codes and giveaways, so check them out for some free goodies!
The best characters in Idle Huntress
There are a pretty large number of characters in the game, and if you're trying to put together a specific team, then you want to also pick heroes that belong to the same element (for the bonus buff). We've added that to the list as well to help you out!Also, we haven't ranked the R characters, since they're not really useful in the long term and chances are you won't use them for too long (only for the first few levels). Instead, we've ranked all the SSR characters by their respective element; and before you ask, the gacha rates are pretty good, so you'll probably get them all eventually!
The Elements
There are a total of 6 elements, each one having a specific class counter. They are as follows:- Earth
- Water
- Fire
- Wind
- Light
- Dark
We marked each one with its respective colour in the tier list so you can have a much easier time finding a specific character you're looking for. Also, feel free to use the quick links below to check the specific page!

So without further ado, let's dive into the Idle Huntress tier list! Original article by Cristina Mesesan, updated by Pocket Gamer Staff.

The characters listed here are exceptional damage dealers and can be super useful in boss fights, such as the guild boss. They are mostly single target or burst damage, so they might not be that great in general story mode (PvE), but they definitely excel in this tier.

Idle Huntress reroll guide
Why did we create an Idle Huntress reroll guide? Well, rerolling is an important process in order to get some powerful units from the very start. Therefore, if you want to have an easier time in the game, we recommend you reroll until you get at least one of the top-tier characters. In order to reroll in Idle Huntress, follow the steps below:
- Step 1: Start by playing the game on a Guest Account (extremely important!).
- Step 2: Play until you complete the tutorial, then head over to the main interface of the game and claim all the rewards in your mailbox.
- Step 3: Do as many summons as you can, and if you're not happy with the units you got, then move on to the next step. If you're happy with the units you have, feel free to bind your account so you won't lose the progress
- Step 4: Head over to the Settings menu and tap on Manage.
- Step 5: Delete the game and re-install it, then select to start over with another Guest Account or delete the progress on your account, and start over with another Guest Account.
Reinstalling the game might take a few minutes because of the big resource pack the game contains. However, that's a pretty sure way to reset your progress and it's a lot faster than searching all over the App settings and clearing all the data and whatnot.
