Are you looking for a Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds familiar tier list? At the time of writing, Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds is one of the most popular RPGs, offering fun adventures and a good fighting system.

The main reason this game is so popular is the variety of different characters in the game. Depending on your playstyle, you can choose the hero, which is extremely cool, and your Familiar will not fall behind compared to other players. All you need to do to unlock new characters to get more options.

In Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, the character balance may not be as desirable as it might seem at first glance - it isn't exactly pay-to-win, but some Familiars still stand out from others in terms of their power. Of course, even if you don't have a tier-S Familiar, you can still win battles and enjoy your time in Cross Worlds. Even so, it certainly can't hurt to aim high, right?

1
Tier S familiars

As in any other game, tier S is where the strongest Familiars belong. Use those at the top of this Ni No Kuni Familiar tier list, and you will always be pleasantly surprised. You really can't go wrong with them, no matter which Familiar you choose.

  • Hippocampus
  • Mite
  • Wisephant
  • Explorer Fennec
  • Kuromi
  • MyMelodi
  • Oroboros
  • Sparkee
  • Petal
  • Snow Racer
  • Hob-Goblin
  • Splisher
  • Floaty-Dokey
  • Lumi
  • Bougie
  • Slee
  • Sapdragon
  • Auroralynx
  • Thumbelemur
  • Whippersnapper
  • Cactus
  • Hullaballoon
  • Cactanine

The most powerful Familiar from this list is Sparkee, which belongs to the light element. He is an attacker, making him suitable for beginners and, of course, advanced players. The best thing about this Familiar is that he can stun his opponent for eight seconds.

Another Familiar worth your attention is the Hippocampus. He is the most powerful water Familiar. Hippocampus gives a 1% bonus for all water attacks, and this bonus applies to all team members. So, naturally, try to put Hippocampus in water teams where he can be at his best. This Familiar also boasts one of the most powerful AoE attacks.

2
Tier A familiars

In Tier A, you can find Familiars that are slightly less powerful than those in Tier S, but are still usable, especially if you're a beginner. If you're an advanced player, you might want to opt for more powerful ones than these.

  • Shrimpaler
  • Molten Lion
  • Flutterby
  • Heroic Warbunny
  • Snowpow
  • Relixx
  • Squasher
  • Orta Warbunny
  • Riceball Koongya
  • Rabina
  • Dinoceros
  • Crab-O-Lantern
  • Suiryu
  • Onion Koongya
  • Eternal Flame
  • Tumbelemur
  • Sunshine
  • Toko
  • Ursa Glacier
  • Flaeon
  • Puffu
  • Sage Reindeer
  • Polarin
  • Sepia
  • Purrloiner
  • Cinder Glider
  • Freis
  • Tarakona
  • Firelynx
  • Squawkpot
  • Sore Boar

There is no doubt that the best Familiar in Tier A in Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds is the Shrimpaler. This Familiar is, at the same time, the second-best support. The only issue here is that playing a support class is always harder than using a damage dealer or tank. This requires extra skills and a complete understanding of the mechanics.

By using this Familiar, you will get 2,000 extra health points with a constant recovery of 10%. The longer you survive, the more effective you are. Moreover, he will eliminate poison debuffs and add extra poison resistance too.

Other Familiars in this list are still good, but there is no reason to focus on them. Test them out and you'll find that they're nearly identical.

3
Tier B familiars

Tier B includes middle-power Familiars. They are not strong enough to be called good, but not weak enough to be considered bad. Most of these Familiars are suitable only for beginners, as they are too weak at high levels. Focusing on Tier B is not recommended as you progress further.

  • Aquadillo
  • Byrde
  • Little Toko
  • Little Mite
  • Dururu
  • Crowhaek
  • Draggle
  • Rimu
  • Penguicorn
  • Arachnes
  • Stagthorn
  • Bunnybot
  • Pet Rock
  • Honey Bee

Honestly, there is no point in focusing and talking about all these Familiars - the only one worth the attention is the Arachnes.

This Familiar is the best damage dealer in the middle class. It has good active skills, which allows it to deal high damage to a single target and absorb more than 5% of MAX health points. And his second skill is a pretty good AoE attack, which increases the damage by 20% on every hit. Of course, while his skills sound good, they're still not enough to make him a powerful Familiar.

4
Tier C familiars

While Familiars from other Tiers are still usable, the ones from Tier C are too weak. Even if you are a beginner, do not use these Familiars - you will not enjoy the game. At the time of writing, Tier C includes:

  • Disbelief
  • Naja
  • Jabber
  • Hooray
  • Ebon Taurex
  • Whambat
  • Ruff
  • Rambunctious
  • Prince of Whales
  • Petromaton
  • Bumbler
  • Worker
  • Mandragorer

As you can see, this list is the biggest Tier in Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, which is a pity. Only one Familiar from this list is really worth your attention: Disbelief. She is a support Familiar who greatly boosts all earth-type Familiars in the team. She increases max health points by 7.5% and removes all freeze effects, which is pretty good for a Tier C Familiar.

And now let's move to Tier D.

5
Tier D familiars

The only thing you need to know about Tier D is that you should not use the Familiars listed here. Whether you're a beginner or advanced player, you won't really benefit from using Tier D characters. Hopefully, these Familiars will be updated in the future, though.

  • Sillymander
  • Shellraiser
  • Pipsqueak
  • Madragorer
  • Bonehead
  • Stitcher
  • Taurex

And that is the end of our Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds Familiar tier list. Familiars from tiers S and A are worthy of your attention. As soon as you get some, you will be able to compete and win much more easily! And while you're here, take a look at thecodes for this game to get some free goodies and our guide on the best class in this game.

I've enjoyed playing games ever since I was a kid (which was a long long time ago at this point). It all started off with an Atari 65XE, then came an Amiga 500+, a Sega Genesis, a 386, and the rest was history. I consider myself lucky to have been able to experience the gaming evolution over the years - this is my passion, and what I will continue to do for as long as I can.
