With Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent confirmed for a North American / European release, here’s a reroll tier list afforded by the foresight of the Japanese release to help you get a better start in the game. Since this is also based on the Japanese release, many of these units are not necessarily immediately available at launch, so do also check the character pool to ensure you don’t waste time trying for a unit which is unavailable. Characters are also obtainable in a range of star ranks, so aim for a 5-star at minimum.
Names may be subject to localization changes. The “Breaker” term used in this list means the ability to shred shields of enemies, putting them into “break” mode where they become more vulnerable.

C TIER
Anyone else that’s left over, essentially.
Of course, if any of the characters considered to be “low tier” happen to be your favourite, as with any gacha game, you should reroll following your heart and not use this Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent list as a hard and fast rule. You can try to reroll for at least 2 5-stars to start, as while you can raise the lower star rank characters, it would be difficult to obtain the required materials to do so.
Made in reference to game8’s Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent reroll tier list.
