Short answer: Shadow Monarch and Kodotoki are the safest S-tier investments right now - one for crit-sustained single-target and PvP pressure, the other for AoE lockdown. If you only pull one banner, aim for either of those before spreading resources across A-tier picks.

Full tier list

Merged from community rankings after the Devine card upgrade changes. Tiers shift with balance patches, so treat anything below A as situational rather than unusable.

Why the top picks dominate

The two characters every meta discussion circles back to.

CharacterWhy S tierHow to get
Shadow Monarch Built-in 100% crit rate - every hit lands critical. Dash spam gives constant repositioning for PvP and uninterrupted PvE rotations. Shadow Banner, ~0.5% pull rate
Kodotoki Highest AoE damage in the game. Ice Wall freezes enemies for ~3.5s, Fire Fist hits everything in a 15m radius - crowd control and clear speed in one kit. Banner rotation
Priestess (Shrine) Top support pick - keeps raid teams alive through content that punishes greedy play. Limited banner
Ichini (Final) High burst with fast cooldowns; a consistent S-tier presence across community lists. Banner rotation
Devine card upgrades changed the meta. Card loadouts introduced in early 2026 pushed crit-sustained kits like Shadow Monarch ahead of older rankings - if you are following a list from before the 3rd Anniversary Update, expect it to be stale.
Halloween update is live: the Witch Akari raid is back until November 8 with a buffed kit and a new Mythic Witch Akari card, plus a revamped Extreme Dimension. Working code right now: HALLOWEEN2026 (also try MINIUPDATE). Redeem via the code button in-game.
