October 21, 2020 We’ve updated our Date a Live: Spirit Pledge tier list with new spirit, Natsume!
Our process was to assess each character’s performance in a range of different areas, though primarily in the roles of DPS, support, and defence, or tanking. We then picked the top performers based off this research, with characters that perform the best in their individual roles, or can multi-role, sitting closer to the top. The winners, and losers, were very clear to us by the end.
Date a Live: Spirit Pledge tier list – S
We’ve had to create a whole new tier for Crimson Nightmare Kurumi, as she’s just that powerful. Previously, the original Kurumi form dominated our list, but has since been joined by Inverse Tohka and Ice Princess Yoshino.
With a passive Dark Spirit ability, which triggers an Energy Explosion every ten attacks, and the ability to switch between two different forms, Inverse Tohka is a powerful and deadly spirit.
This powerful spirit manipulates time itself to deal damage to her foes.
Yoshino’s full form, Ice Princess Yoshino is considerably more powerful.
An intriguing spirit that can swap between adult and child forms at will, boosting her attack power and defence each time. It’s a fun play-style for those that like to keep up the pace.
Adult form skills:
DATE A LIVE: SPIRIT PLEDGE TIER LIST – B
A powerful spirit that wields two different swords, swapping between them or dual-wielding them depending on the circumstances.
A musician at heart, Miku can trigger special effects after performing eight attacks.
DATE A LIVE: SPIRIT PLEDGE TIER LIST – C
A magician that gains in power as she uses skills.
DATE A LIVE: SPIRIT PLEDGE TIER LIST – D
Battling with the power of thunder itself, Mana is at her best when fighting non-stop.
Deals damage with the power of the wind, Yuzuru is one half of the Yamai twins.
The other half of the twin Yami sisters, Kaguya also specialises in wind energy.
The default spirit, Tohka is a specialist at taking down shielded enemies.
Using winter as a weapon, no enemy can hide from Yoshino.
You have to carefully manage Origami’s energy resource, which only recharges when she’s not attacking.
We assessed each spirit based on their combat performance in a range of different areas, including DPS, defence, support, and more. We then got a pretty good idea of who the best characters were. When it came to choosing our list, we favoured spirits that could multi-role, best at a specific role, and not particularly good at any role in that order.
Not necessarily. Our tier list is based on a spirit’s base performance, as it’s designed to help you right at the beginning of the game. We think you’ll fare better at the start with one of the best choices, but if you’re in it for the long term, you could feasibly upgrade a low-tier spirit into an absolute powerhouse.
