The combat system is interesting but also can feel a little overwhelming at start so we wanted to give you a tier list that makes actually sense not just for your first steps in the game but also for your long-term progress.

S

The first limited SSR in the game and the way she works is soaking up partly damage and healing and shielding a lot more so effectively she is a plug-and-play savior that works in any team as all she needs for her kit to work is allies. Super strong pretty much everywhere but that was to be expected and with the limited availability the FOMO is on you.

Deals more damage than any other savior before her and has a lot of utility with her defense reduction debuff that affects all enemies and even her base version without going broke on her banner is enough to work enough to make it worth it. If you want to get her is up to you but if you do, you will for sure for the time being get a savior early on that will push your roaster no matter what and without having to breakthrough her too much to work her kit at the core mechanics, I think she is probably a good pick early on and then wait what the next banners have.

The best support in Star Savior as she can heal with her basic attacks, remove negative effects, charges Action Gauge and even frontline tanks and does some damage. BUT! BUT! BUT! Here comes the deal, you need her at 3-Star to do that. At 0-Star she is just chip healing so please don't give up on her, at 3-Star she is one of the strongest savirs in Star Savior.

Good damage output but her team ATK buff and Action Gauge support is what makes her a core in Cosmo Gate bosses and also against PvP teams as it supercharges your team to pop fast and hard and with the extra buff through the recent balancing she actually becomes a. really strong support in the progressed timeline of the game.

Her performance relies heavily on proper team protection and consistent management of skill stacks. While her ability to trigger multiple attacks shows significant potential if you manage to use her kit properly, I don't see her on the same level of meta defining as previous banners and this seems more of a version for collection purposes than actually meta progression in the game.

Blessing in Bloom Epindel

Best Build

ⓘ Details

A

She is designed to counter enemies that rely on barriers, dealing high damage to targets with active barriers regardless of whether they are Saviors or Voidborn but the reality as it looks like is that she won't bypass the current Sun meta and also she relies a lot on her stacks to really blow off. Honestly she only seems to be a hard counter to Hilde at this point and if that is worth the invest is something you have to decide for yourself. I honestly think she is either a collector character if you can't stand not having all saviors or in terms of usage so niche that only high-spender will actually find use for her in the rare occasions she will be useful.
