Complete Etheria Restart Tier List & Reroll Guide [RELEASE]

Best characters for PVE, PVP, Thresholds, and Union Bosses.

When talking about the best characters in Etheria Restart you have to consider all the different roles and game modes. I’ll be ranking characters based on how useful they are in a team composition per role for all game modes with PVE and PVP combined. Here’s my ultimate Etheria Restart tier list with the best DPS, Debuff, Support and Sustain rankings.

Etheria Restart Damage Tier List

When it comes to the best DPS in Etheria Restart you want the ones that will either specialize in single target or AOE or have a balance of both. For PVP I generally prefer burst damage to take out key targets as fast as possible but sustain damage comes in just as useful for Thresholds and Union Bosses. Speaking of which you can clear story and general PVE with anyone so I’ll be focusing on how useful and powerful characters are in both Story and also Thresholds, Union Bosses, and PVP. Note that SSS-Tier doesn’t deal the most damage they are just the most useful DPS characters to have in a team comp. Below you’ll find my rankings for each character for both PVP and PVE.

SSS-Tier DPS

CharacterRanking Reason

Lian
• Lian has the best Burst damage in Etheria Restart both for Single Target and AOE
• Amazing for Terrormaton and Aurora
• One of the best Delay characters
• Not the most useful on DokiDoki

Massiah
• Applies one of the best debuffs in the game Vulnerable
• Can Invicibility himself
• A great blend of Sustained and Burst & Single and AOE damage
• Amazing for all Game Modes
• Probably one of the best PVP characters

Rosa
• Rosa has some of the best single target and AOE sustained damage in Etheria Restart
• Incredibly useful blend of Delay moves as well as Buffs and Debuffs
• Skip her for Terrormaton but she’s SSS on all other game modes

Rahu
• If you need your DPS to have Cleanse bring Rahu and he’ll also provide you with useful Buffs and Debuffs
• Great sustained damage overall
• Struggles on Aurora but on all other game modes he’s a damage machine with useful utility and Cleanse

Sania (Withered Shadow)
• Might catch some heat here for putting Sania in SSS because her raw damage without setup sucks but her damage-over-time synergies are amazing
• All of her abilities interact with DoT so she’s a must have for DoT builds
• Great source of sustained damage

S-Tier DPS

CharacterRanking Reason

Khloros
• Khloros deals the most raw sustained damage in Etheria Restart
• He struggles with providing team utility but that’s not his role
• His amazing DPS and Debuffs is what you want him for
• Just don’t bring him to DokiDoki since you need more burst there

Diting
• Diting deals the most single target burst damage from my tests
• Include him in a team that can set him up to burst down key targets
• You can pull off some crazy plays in PVP

Fangus
• Sania is queen of DoTs but Fangus is a close second
• Great sustained damage
• Brings lots of utility to the team with Delays and Follow-Ups
• Not the best for DokiDoki like Khloros because you need more burst and AOE

Xiada
• Some of the best if not the best AOE sustained damage dealer in the game
• Best for Doki Doki and all game modes that favor AOE damage
• Not the best for Terrormaton

A-Tier DPS

CharacterRanking Reason

Rilmocha
• Rilmocha is the best character for DokiDoki and Terrormaton as well as one of the best PVP characters
• Her combination of CC, Delays, and burst damage is incredibly useful for controlling the enemy
• Just don’t bring her to Aurora, she’s useless there

Victor
• Now Victor is a huge tank and quite hard to kill
• Best of all he gets more damage the lower his HP is and his Shields keep him alive
• Best for Terrormaton but he’s generally useful anywhere

Rin (The Unbowed)
• Great sustained single and AOE damage
• Overall a useful DPS with good Delay abilities
• Not the best on Terrormaton

B-Tier DPS

CharacterRanking Reason

Tsutomu
• One of the best things about Tsutomu is that he can Dispel effects by stealing buffs with Vanishing Shade
• He can also disable buffs and heals on enemies so use him for utility
• This weird mix of utility and lower than average DPS makes him bad for PVP and Aurora

Oboro
• Has pretty mid damage so she’s not the best for DPS
• She shines in comboing DoTs, Debuffs, and Delays
• Don’t bring her to PVPs but she’s pretty good for Aurora and Union Bosses

C-Tier DPS

CharacterRanking Reason

Andrew (Odd)
• Bad DPS but can Debuff okay
• I would skip

Andrew (Reason)
• More useful than Andrew Odd because the Reason version can Taunt

D-Tier DPS

CharacterRanking Reason

Sybil
• The worst DPS character in Etheria Restart in terms of numbers
• Can reduce enemy Defence

Etheria Restart Support Tier List

best support characters in etheria restart tier list
Image by The Escapist

The best support in Etheria Restart is a title shared by Freya, Lily, and DokiDoki. They offer the best debuff cleansing and ally buffing. Beyontin is close since she can revive. Keep in mind that this list is mostly for Thresholds, Union Bosses, and PVP. Of course you can’t go wrong with this for general PVE farming but that’s the easiest mode in the game anyway.

SSS-Tier Support

CharacterRanking Reason

Freya
• One of the best supports in Etheria Restart
• Can auto cleanse debuffs with Dreamwave and boost your Defence crazy high
• Bring her everywhere except Aurora, she’s not the most useful there

Lily
• The best support in Etheria Restart overall for all Thresholds, Union Bosses, and even PVP
• Drastically boosts your Turn Meter and Speed
• Shadow Trick boosts critical damage as well for more DPS
• Can follow up with Hat Trick which has Assist

DokiDoki
• Can buff up your team’s damage and speed to crazy numbers
• The second-best support in Etheria Restart in my opinion after
• Can even cleanse debuffs

Beyontin
• Can revive your team, period, SSS-Tier
• She also buffs your attack and crit damage which is amazing
• The only reason I prefer Lily or DokiDoki is because I would rather keep my team alive than count on the revive
• That said, revives are really great to have as backup if you’re tackling harder content like Aurora or Terrormaton

S-Tier Support

CharacterRanking Reason

Tsukiyo Mi
• Tsukiyo Mi is an all around great support but her abilities aren’t as powerful support wise as SSS Tier
• However, her Silence is broken for PVP and she’s probably one of the strongest PVP Supports in Etheria Restart because of that

Chiaki (The Echo)
• For everything but Aurora Chiaki’s Ave Maria immunity to Turn Meter reduction and steal effects is amazing
• She can also cleanse debuffs
• Not the most useful on Aurora so swap her out

A-Tier Support

CharacterRanking Reason

Turandot
• Has some decent damage and ATK and DEF buffs
• Mainly she’s good because of her ACC+ skill Severing Blade which is amazing when upgraded
• Bad on DokiDoki so bring a better support

Yang
• A decent support with the ATK and CRIT buff for allies but you want him for the Cleanse as well
• Also a pretty good off-DPS since he can buff his own CRIT
• Bad on Terrormaton so bring a stronger support

B-Tier Support

CharacterRanking Reason

Dorothy (The Wisher)
• Has some good damage buffs and also applies Life Leech to allies
• Really useful on everything except DokiDoki

No. 41
• The opposite of Dorothy because she prevents enemy healing
• Really strong on DokiDoki

C-Tier Support

CharacterRanking Reason

Cachi
• Can delay enemies with Justice Beam
• You want him for the Stun through Heroic Strike as his strongest ability but it’s not that good except for PVP where’s it’s really strong

Etheria Restart Debuff Tier List

best debuff characters in etheria restart tier list
Image by The Escapist

The best Debuff characters in Etheria Restart are usually masters of a single debuff style whether it’s Delays or damage increases for your team like Heinrich. Plus, they can offer another form of utility or off-DPS. In general, the bad Debuff characters try to do many things but aren’t useful in either so look for AOE Debuffers or damage increase Debuffers in SSS and S-Tiers.

SSS-Tier Debuff

CharacterRanking Reason

Heinrich
• Heinrich is one of the best Debuff characters in Etheria Restart because he can disable enemy buffs and healing completely shutting down many encounters.
• That’s not all, Farewell Shot boosts CRIT DMG taken and freaking increases CRIT chance on that enemy as well
• Hugely aggressive Debuff unit that you should bring for optimal DPS
• Your Damage characters will love Heinrich, especially burst damage focused ones
• Great on all game modes

Kloss
• Kloss is on par with Heinrich because she increases enemy damage taken and reduces their damage
• Also, Formatting decreases DEF and SPD so she can delay the enemy
• Great on all modes except Aurora

Dinah
• Amazing mix of enemy Delays and team Advances since Blade Torrent boosts Turn Meter
• Dinah also boosts enemy damage taken by applying DEF- and Vulnerable like Massiah
• Amazing everywhere except DokiDoki

Gray
• Gray has one of the most powerful DEF reductions in the game with Lightning Speed which is AOE and lasts more than one turn
• He also boosts your CRIT rate so bring him in burst damage comps or sustained damage comps if you can pop off for 2 turns during Lightning Speed

Marvell
• A marvelous character for two reasons
• Can Silence which is rare and amazing for PVP
• Can Delay the enemy a lot by both debuffing SPD and stealing Turn Meter

S-Tier Debuff

CharacterRanking Reason

Kazuyo (The Reverie)
• Okay Kazuyo probably shouldn’t be S-Tier but listen, she obliterates the DokiDoki Threshold due to Slumber and DokiDoki is really annoying
• Otherwise for all other Thresholds and Union Bosses she’s okay, nothing special though Sink in Void is pretty okay due to the ATK debuff
• Great for PVP

Veronika
• You want for two reasons
• Great mix of ATK- debuffs and ally Shields
• Her Spirit Circle makes it so that she can potentially save your entire team from death since Soul Ward drops your team to 1 HP no matter how much damage they take

Kraken
• Some of the best CC in the Debuff category due to the Deep Frozen debuff on Personalized Service which disables actions
• Freeze also makes it so they cannot gain turn meter so he’s a Delay specialist
• The Delay mechanics don’t do much on Aurora, Terrormaton, and Union Bosses but they’re amazing on DokiDoki and PVP

Obol
• Obol is a Debuff character that specializes in damage-over-time effects that are based on %HP making him amazing for Aurora and PVP
• This kinda makes him an off hand DPS in certain cases but he’s Debuff because he can also AOE Stun with Shadow Wave

Viper
• Viper is a little weird to play but you need to get used to Savage Fang’s stacks that pop Scale Slash which is his bread and butter
• Scale Slash can cleanse buffs from enemies and also reduce ATK and SPD which is amazing
• Unlike many of the S-Tiers, you can bring Viper anywhere and be fine since he’s really flexibile

A-Tier Debuff

CharacterRanking Reason

Celince
• Celince might deserve higher placement but I just haven’t played her that much during the testing phases
• She’s a weird mix of DoTs but not as good as Obol and debuffs but there might be better Debuffers
• She can Silence well so I used her a lot for PVP

Cachi (The Guard)
• Cachi is an all-rounder that’s pretty good for all game modes
• He debuffs CRIT rate and also SPD with Brave Charge being an amazing Delay skill
• I love his AOE DEF buff the most so he might be a better Support than Debuff
• Steadfast Dreamer also blocks debuffs and delays on allies

Lilith
• My favorite A-Tier debuff character (Not as strong as S-Tiers in most situations) due to a crazy mix of debuffs and damage procs
• Lilith can also Stun with two skills
• Not to mention Courteous Gesture has a chance to gain 1 extra turn

B-Tier Debuff

CharacterRanking Reason

Kazami Kazuyo
• Not as powerful of a Debuff character as the higher ups but she can Dispel buffs from enemies which is really good for Aurora and Terrormaton
• Debuffs SPD and increases ally SPD

RC-77
• RC-77 is a decent mix of Stuns and Debuffs
• Complete Overwrite is why he’s in B-Tier and not lower since that skill reduces DEF and ATK and can stun
• He also debuffs Turn Meter with Anomalous Onslaught

C-Tier Debuff

CharacterRanking Reason

Asshu
• Such a weird mix of SPD debuffs, damage over time effects, and Silence
• I prefer Debuffs who specialize in one or two things and Asshu is all over the place and master of none

D-Tier Debuff

CharacterRanking Reason

Vice
• Built to Taunt and then sustain through Strike and Heal by applying debuffs
• It’s not the strongest playstyle with real Debuff utility
• He tries to heal allies with Strike and Heal but he’ll usually not be full HP to reliably heal

Etheria Restart Healer/Sustain Tier List

best sustain characters in etheria restart tier list
Image by The Escapist

The best sustain/healer characters in Etheria Restart are in SSS and S-Tier like Lingluo’s heals or Valerian’s buffs, CC, and the death-protection. The rest are either not as powerful or excel in specific situations. Let’s dive into them all.

SSS-Tier Healer/Sustain

CharacterRanking Reason

Helkid
• Helkid is an amazing off-DPS unit with great survivability skills
• Keeping Shourd Barrier active to boost other skills is the key to his playstyle
• Can Stun and debuff ATK

Lingluo
• Lingluo is the best healer in Etheria Restart
• Bring her to sustain your team and cleanse debuffs
• A must-have on all game modes except Terromaton

Valerian
• Valerian sustains your team through minor heals, immunity to damage, and shields
• Really strong on all game modes and a great alternative to Lingluo
• She also has decent crowd control with Slumber

S-Tier Healer/Sustain

CharacterRanking Reason

Mia
• A bunch of heals and shields that you cannot go wrong with
• That said, you want Mia for her debuff cleanse Cascade
• You don’t need her on Aurora but she’s strong everywhere else

Sania
• Extremely flexibile since you can either heal well or revive if you need to with Forest Heart but the skill then has a higher cooldown
• She also has mechanics with Twine Dance to keep her Turn Meter up so that you can act before bad stuff happens
• You don’t need revives on Aurora but bring her everywhere else

A-Tier Healer/Sustain

CharacterRanking Reason

Chiaki
• Has pretty good heals
• Her specialty is reducing DMG taken with Origami Guardians so she’s good on all modes except DokiDoki Threshold

B-Tier Healer/Sustain

CharacterRanking Reason

Dorothy
• Great single and full team healing
• Has a full cleanse for a single target
• Chiaki is a little bit strongest because she can reduce damage as well as heal but Dorothy has better healing on average

Rin
• Rin switches out heals for team shields
• Her playstyle is about taunting enemies and shielding allies while reducing the damage they take via DEF buffs
• This is pretty good on Terrormaton, Union Bosses, and Aurora but isn’t anything special on DokiDoki
• I prefer healers for my sustain so Rin isn’t the strongest choice
