November 4, 2020 We’ve added two new characters, Zelos and Velvet, to our Tales of Crestoria tier list.

We’re going to list the best Tales of Crestoria characters in order, from S all the way down to D. We’ll explain why we like, or dislike, each character, and provide all of the information you need to make an informed decision, including stats, skills, element, and equipment. Really though, we want to take the effort away from you guys.

Now we’ll answer a bunch of questions that you may have regarding our Tales of Crestoria tier list.

We played Tales of Crestoria, and PvP in particular, extensively, to get a feel for the top performers. We then cross-referenced this with the potential maximum stats per character, favouring attack above all, and then considered their skills and mystic artes.

We’ve purposely left out any SR heroes or below, as they are not up to the same standard as SSR heroes. For that purpose, only SSR heroes make the cut.
