[ Guide ] Grimlight Overall Character Tier List for PVE

With Grimlight being more stable for people to play, more updates means there’ll be more units to make a tier list for. Let’s get right into it!

TEAMBUILDING

While it is certainly tempting to just grab all the high ranking units on a tier list, there are still considerations to make to ensure success in your adventures in Grimlight. Your core squad should consist of:

• Physical damage
• Magic damage
• Frontline tank
• Healer
