Destiny Rising brings the beloved Destiny universe to mobile devices as the first official mobile MMO, and with its growing roster of characters a tier list will be essential for building effective teams.
Destiny Rising takes a different approach compared to Destiny 2 when it comes to character management. Instead of upgrading a single personal avatar, you’ll be working with multiple predetermined characters, each filling specific roles in your roster.
With around ten characters already available and several more confirmed to be coming, the growing roster makes it increasingly important to understand which heroes offer the strongest performance. A tier list helps you identify top-performing characters for various content types, whether you’re tackling story missions, participating in cooperative activities, or facing challenging endgame content.
As the first mobile MMO set in the Destiny universe, Destiny Rising maintains the franchise’s signature looter shooter gameplay while introducing character collection mechanics. Understanding character rankings becomes crucial for maximizing your team’s potential and ensuring you’re investing your time and resources into heroes that will serve you well throughout your journey in the game.
- S Tier – These characters are some of the best in the game, and generally excel at fulfilling their role in most scenarios and are highly recommended to build.
- A Tier – Excellent batch of characters, only falling slightly behind the S-tier units, and can play well in most content.
- B Tier – Still worth the investment and can be pretty solid in certain teams or circumstances.
- C Tier – Situational. May not be worth the investment due to limited usage.
