[ Guide ] Sin Chronicle Overall Character Tier List

Now that people have had the time to go through the characters available in Sin Chronicle, here’s an overall tier list. For rerolls specifically, check out the list here. Names provided in Japanese letters to avoid any confusion in transliteration.

Some characters are ranked differently here than in the reroll tier list as this already assumes you have a solid starting point and gives direction on who to raise next. As noted for the reroll tier list, characters are not necessarily immediately available. For example, new pools are unlocked as you start new story chapters.

CHARACTERS	STARTING RARITY	RANKING	COMMENTS
ハンナ	3☆	SS	Buffs ally damage, regeneration with Special. Starting heal skill does deduct her max HP%, but considered too valuable, worth the demerit. Normal attack 3-chain can reduce enemy attack by 10%.
クレア	3☆	SS	Great for mono-Fire teams / Wind enemies, as can lower fire resistance, while Special deals increased damage against Wind. 5-hit skill's weakness is needing a 10-combo to begin with
マーヤ	3☆	SS	Increases own speed and attack with 3-turn self buff, though cannot act on the same turn. 2-cost 3-hit attack allows for combo extension (up to 4).
アリン	3☆	SS	Currently highest damage potential with 920% amplification on Special as combo count goes up. Weapon type tends to have low hit rate, so the ボールズの翼 is recommended.
