Girls Evo Tier List (May 2024)

Girls Evo has a recommended teams guide in-game, but there is little data to support it, and trusting those kinds of things blindly can ruin your progression. So, I analyzed the top-performing players from a bunch of servers and did my own testing, too. Scroll down below and see the results in our definitive Girls Evo tier list.

Best Girls Evo Characters – Tier List

Girls Evo Tier List

The tier list in the image above mostly represents how strong each of these Girls Evo characters is in the late game. Some are excellent even if you have only one copy, like Fluffy, for example. Notes on each character’s performance and reasons for their ranking are just below (D and E-tier characters are all fodder, which you shouldn’t raise above 8 stars; C-tier is mostly fodder).

Character Summaries

S+ Tier

• Sana: Possibly priority one investment. I’ve tested her more, and I gotta say, she has possibly the best damage on the water squad, and the CC is OP for any non-boss mode.
• Ryver: Your only carry in the early game and a very solid DPS later on. You can get plenty of copies and it’s the only upgrade-worth high-rate UR.
• Sue: Has immense life-steal and the best damage of all wind units. Also, can work as a solo unit in the front row. Number one priority in shops, together with Sana and Akash.
• Akash: The best earth character with similar playstyle to Sue. She often one-shots same-tier characters, and her AoE isn’t too bad, either. Much easier to get from shops, too.
• Priest: A lot of shops have Priest and she is arguably the best support in the game. However, try to focus on DPSs first.
• Asuna: Can’t revive like Priest, but her buffs are much better, and the damage spread is excellent if you have life-steal on your frontline, making them ultra beefy.
• Whitenight: Ultra easy to get from shops and an extremely good DPS, both when it comes to AoE and single target. Probably your first focus on the light squad unless you’re going for Priest.
• Waning: Waning is in S+ tier only because he is much easier to get than Asura via shops. His damage can’t compare, but he is F2P-friendly.
• Nightmare: Your second DPS/Debuffer P2W priority on the dark team. You can’t get it easily, though, so it’s only for true Girls Evo whales, and getting other dark units from the tier lists might be better.
• Asura: The best character in the game right now. When you compare her and other DPSs damage, she beats them by 150-200%, at least. Plus, the passive rage skill is just broken. The only problem is that if you want her, you’ll most definitely have to whale out.

S Tier

• Lotus: Best tank in the game IMO, capable of pulling the whole enemy backline to the front row. Then, front/middle row attacking characters like Sana can break them apart. Plus, the protection passive is very useful.
• Fluffy: You only need one copy of her early on for the tower because she can tank the whole first round with her damage immunity passive. After you get a copy, don’t focus on her at all until you have 17-star Akash.
• Feather: Possibly the best single-target DPS in the game. Coldblade can’t even come close to this guy’s boss damage. The only problem is that you can’t get him from shops, and Akash is just plain better overall.
• Firedrake: Upgraded version of Crimson and much easier to get. Still, I don’t suggest you focus on fire units at all in the early game. If you choose to do so, go for Firedrake.
• Flash: Better single-target than Whitenight but slightly lower shop availability. Plus, the shop you can get him from also has Akash, which is your priority.
• Holy Light: Obtainable through shops and a solid damage dealer all around. However, I think that Whitenight is still slightly better.
• Darkwraith: You can get it from shops and the immunity on the passive is extremely good against wind/earth squads. The damage is solid, too.
• Darkwave: Another dark/light unit you can get from stores. This one is specialized in debuffing and if the silence hits, you can beat much stronger opponents. Plus, the 50% anti-heal on all enemies shouldn’t be underestimated.

A Tier

• Akua: All of those stacks and everything look great on paper, but considering that you can’t get her any other way but by whaling, she just isn’t worth it. Go for Sana instead.
• Spiritfox: The designated support for the water teams. The cleanse is especially strong, but Priest has revives and is easier to get. I mean, she is good, but I can’t see how she can be a priority.
• Mirage: The second-best DPS of all the wind types and you can get him much more reliably than Sue. I’d say Mirage is your best focus until you get a bunch of Sue dupes.
• Windrider: Comparable to Mirage but harder to get. They are interchangeable, and having them both makes nuking enemy backline easy.
• Crocoking: You need the exclusive weapon for this guy to shine. Not recommended for early game and probably the last earth DPS unit you should focus on upgrading on this Girls Evo tier list.
• Crimson: A wannabe Firedrake. I’d say Crimson is closer to Skyflamer in terms of DPS, but it does have some utility. Wouldn’t focus on upgrading her, though.
• Skyflamer: Your go-to early-game fire DPS before you get Firedrake. The damage is still mediocre compared to Ryver, but beggars can’t be choosers.
• Kat: End-game support and damage-buffer. Similar to Diva in a sense, but much harder to acquire, as you’ll want to get all other characters from stores before you get her.
• Deathgod: The guild shop has it, but Deathgod is honestly your last priority of all dark/light units.

B Tier

• Snowolf: A good DPS for the water squad, but you’ll never upgrade her, as you’ll be focusing on Ryver.
• Diva: Despite being in the B-tier, Diva will be your go-to support in the early game. There is simply no other support you can upgrade as much as you can her, and that’ll make her tankier and capable of providing support for longer.
• Coldblade: The early-game boss killer. His DPS is overall solid, really, but it’s nothing compared to Ryver/Akash/Sue/Sana.
• Milkshake: Extremely hard to get and provides no benefits over light supports. Can’t see it being a priority, but the skills are good on paper.
• Sheepy: Pretty solid, but again, you can’t get her in bulk unless you whale, and if you’re already doing that, just get light supports instead.
• Aleister: Good tank but nothing compared to Lotus. Low-priority unit for the fire team.
• Suvi: New fire character that is very good on paper, but you’ll never focus it over Firedrake.

C Tier

• Icewhale: Okayish debuffer, but Sana is 10x better.
• Dolphinie: Okayish support, but Spiritfox is 10x better.
• Ponda: Whoever thinks this guy is an okay DPS hasn’t used him. The only way he’ll shine is with the exclusive weapon, but at that point, you might’ve as well tried to get Sue. Probably the worst low-rate wind unit in Girls Evo and a bottom-tier regarding priority.
• Panther: F2P-friendly DPS on the earth team. Fodder it once you get enough Akash copies.
• Dudo: Can’t see any world where you’d get this one over Akash/Feather, but if you got plenty because of RNG, then use it for a bit.
• Flame: Only really useful for full fire squads, which are thrash by the way. Still very good on paper.
• Scorpiontail: Read the Flame entry above.

D Tier

• Toxishark: Better than Heim but still trash.
• Tornado: Can upgrade it to 8 stars early on, but stop there.
• Shaka: An okayish tank together with Gaia, but still nothing compared to Lotus.
• Gaia: Easier to get as Aleister and many people use it because of that. Plus, if you don’t have Akash and don’t need more DPS, it’s probably your best option for earth early on.
• Martialita: Worse version of Aleisteir you should get rid of as soon as possible.
• Rapier: Single-target early-game DPS. Get rid of it as soon as possible.

E Tier

• Wingspirit: Absolutely horrendous support. Diva is better and easier to get. Plus, you can’t waste anything on her, as you’ll have Ryver to feed.
• Heim: Garbage.
• Aponi: Bigger garbage.
• Chaos: Even bigger garbage.
• Rockie: Might look good on paper, but it really isn’t.
• Houndfang: Why?
• Firelizard: Fake high-rarity UR. Don’t bother with it.
