ToTR Tier List + Character Analysis

TIER LIST
(PLAYER CONTROL)
Notice: Tier List will no longer be updated, as I’m now working
on a better and a more indepth character analysis instead. Go
here to see it while I work on it.
Disclaimer: This tier is made for fun based on my views of the characters, so please do not take this to seriously
and let this tier list affect your enjoyment of playing as your waifu/husbando.
Explanation of what each tier represents:
S - Extremely viable in a lot of situations (heck, even outside anima sync), and has one or two absurdly strong
tactics that make the character stand out.
A - Excellent chars that are the best options to be used whenever their sync gets to be relevant.
B - Are okay to use, but are somewhere in the middle.
C - The meh ones. They either don’t have any remarkably amazing feature, or their super good tools are dug
beneath their weakness.
???(Unknown) - Tier for character that still needs more information on their combat performance for being new,
and not a lot of people have their equipment. Most likely to be the newest story chapter characters, or just aren’t
available on WW yet.
(All of this tier list is based on scenario where the characters have optimum build. None of the characters in this
game are bad, so the lowest I can possibly go is C. Also, I don’t recommend using offsync S or A tier chars
offsync. The effect of anima sync is just too huge to skip over.)

Optimal Arte information:

Bold means obligatory artes, essential to make the character function perfectly.(Emphasis on perfectly.
You don’t have to be perfect to make a character playable.)
Non bold means it is significant, but not to be somewhat obligatory..
All artes that don’t have any specific information on where to obtain means that they are from the normal gacha.
Terminologies:
OTG(Off The Ground)-Gets enemy back up from being knocked down
KD(Knock Down)-Knocks enemy down.
Dash-goes through the enemy to the other side, which gives the character invincibility frame while doing so.
IS(Iron Stance) break-Has the capability to break through Iron Stance.

Stone Wall enhancement and
Leon some praciting to
be even be good

-Very fragile, and

can easily get killed
if he becomes the
target of the enemy.

weapons are

wound of having
the char but not
their weapons
+Geyser Blast
spam can juggle
medium and
lightweight enemies
+Has a good array
of offensive spells.
+Photon Blast is
Geyser basically good

Ancient Nova instant hit.
B Heal
Splash -Too much status
Photon Blaze ailment arte.
Divine Shot
Reala -Only has a single
heal spell, which
can be hard to get

mobbing capability
with Whirlwind
Snap and Phoenix

B Cerberus Strike
Phoenix Plunge
chain

Sun Spark -Due to the way the

not needed.

-Healer can cause

more trouble than
help since chars
has to be near
Jude, and you’ll
end up chasing
melee to be healed.

obliterates
everything in it’s
way.

The Wind Howl artes in this game,
B Firefly
Glimmer of
also gains MG
really fast by
Heaven Justing Love Shot.
Violet Snake -His huge variety of
Raven skillset backfires as
he has no idea
what the fuck he
should be doing.
The only good
method of using
him is pretty much
by being a one trick
pony and spam
The Wind Howl.
-Love Shot can be
gimmicky as it
requires you to full
all female
characters HP first
before he can start
healing male
character.
+Solid combo
capability, and lots
of movement in her
artes which makes
her not as easy to
hit.
+Heal artes. Yay.
Cerberus Strike
Death Blossom -Like Reid, has
Eagle artes that involves

B Dive(event)
Serpent
jumping, but not as
bad as Reid she
has less of them,

Healer much faster
Farah
-Lacks any other
Iron Stance breaker

Heavenly
Torrent -Lacks any sort of
Sorey dash artes.

Shell Splitter +Heaven’s Claw
Banishing has an all HP
recover
B Thunder
Moonlight
Cyclone
enhancement,
making her
recovery HP very
Water Snake easily
Velvet Wake
-Banishing Thunder
can be difficult to
use as it sidestep’s
Velvet away from
the enemy.
+Gets the upper
end of his hybrid
artes as he was
meant to be mage,
which means
higher phys scaling
than artes. And he
has a lot more
melee than
spells(with higher
phys stat than
mag), expect hard
hitting damage
Goring Hell from his 4stars.
Thunder Lance

B Lightning
Tempest(Event)
Mighty Deluge
+JADE THE
JUGGLE KING
-A lot of his artes
Divine Saber has a lot of delay
before the first hit
Jade and after the arte,
making him more
ideal to attack
alongside another
melee rather than
doing it all by
himself.
-Due to being
supposed to be
mage, he is pretty
slow, and is pretty
fragile.
+Can do both
physical and
magical

+Cyclone rips
enemies appart
while Thunder

Thunder Lance aoe for a 3 star
Cyclone spell.
Death Knell

hybrid artes) to
work with.

Stance breakers
other than Shimmer
Spin.

and is capable of
dash artes with
Rising Phoenix.
-Is pretty slow, and
Rising yes, even his dash
Phoenix(dash) artes is slow.
Super
Lightning -Lots of artes
C Blade(event)
Rending Tiger
involving jumping,
which can mean
Blade more vulnerable
Light Spear time when get hit.
Reid This is pretty
apparent with his
Iron Stance break
options being
Rending Tiger
Blade and Tiger
Rage
+Deals strong
damage from his
artes, most notably
from Frigid Blast
and Light Spear
Cannon.

+His artes hits

hard, complete with
IS break and
stagger
Light Spear enhancement on all
Cannon of his 4 star.
Rending Blast +Can juggle

C Frigid Blast
Lightning Tiger
enemies with Light
Spear Cannon.
-Attacks pretty
Blade slowly, so expect
Rending Thrust him to not combo
Luke that well
-Light Spear
Cannon is not
recommended as a
starting combo arte
chain due to it’s
delay for the
second hit onwards
which is
susceptible for
interruption
+Solid comboing
capability even only
with his 3 star
artes, and these
artes are fast on
execution…. at the
expense of his 4
star artes being
anywhere of being
good.

+Moonlight
Sword Rain: Tempest can KD,
Alpha and you can follow
Moonlight it up with Dragon
Demon(event) Tempest’s OTG.

C Moonlight
Tempest

poor. Moonlight

a bit delayed on
startup. And both
has status ailment
enhancement.

MUCH CRESENT

archer, who shoots
stuff and only
shoots stuff, and an
independent archer

something.

NUT Gale Shot
Thunder Blitz
effect
enhancement.
Eagle Shot
-Lacks any aoe
projectile that is

very well due to his
nature of being a
ranged.

only shoots. And
NUTS.
+Has a lot of
multihit artes to
keep enemy
staggered, and can
tank with a decent
Raining Tiger amount of HP
Blade
C Tempest Strike
Tempest Beaks
-His only reliable of
Iron Stance break
Sword Rain is Tempest Strike

Lloyd -Jumps a lot on his

artes, mainly on his
Tiger Blade
variants.

character with a
decent enough of
damage output.
