| Nov 27

There's a powerful cast of characters to recruit in this stunning adventure that you can pull for your teams, so here's our Saint Seiya EX Tier List of the best ones.

0/4

Saint Seiya EX has only 40 Saints to pull!
Ranging from the back row to the front row!
Here's a ranking to help you make the best team!

Although Saint Seiya is an anime that has been around for a while, many of us have only recently been introduced to it.

As far as anime plots go, it's pretty straightforward: The Greek god Hades is waging war against humanity with some of his fellow gods. His primary opponent is the Greek goddess Athena, who gathers an opposing force composed of empowered humans known as the Saints. The story follows a fledgling Saint named Seiya, who joins the fight and befriends other Saints along the way, exploring the power of friendship and all it entails.

With Saint Seiya EX, the series is given new life, following the original story and introducing a multitude of characters. Since battles are group-based, you'll get the chance to make a team out of various Saints that you can summon with Recruitment tickets.

So, here's a Saint Seiya EX tier list covering the current Saints to give you a sense of each Saint's value and help you decide whether to add them to your team. There are currently over 40 available Saints to recruit, each ranked by rarity. Now, despite their rarity, every Saint has their strengths and weaknesses that are just waiting for the right person to command efficiently.

What makes constructing the best team a bit tricky is that even though there are many Saints to gather, there are only three damage types, but there are five classes that are assigned to a position in one of three rows. Experiment, diversify, and see which Saint abilities complement each other to suit your strategy.

By the way, you might want to give our Saint Seiya EX codes a quick peek too for some extra freebies!
