Our Tiers Explained

  • S: These are the absolute best characters, packing serious value.
  • A: Really solid picks, just a step below the top dogs.
  • B: Can shine in specific situations but aren’t always the go-to.
  • C: Probably skip these unless you really like them.

This tier list is based only on the global version of Girls’ Frontline 2 and doesn’t cover characters exclusive to the Chinese server. We’ll keep updating as new Dolls drop or the meta shifts.

Right now, Qiongjiu, Klukai, Suomi, Makiatto, and Vector are ruling the S-tier and show no signs of slowing down. They make the strongest team setups in the game.

Daiyan, Mosin-Nagant, Lotta, and Nemesis are chilling in A-tier. They’re great but don’t quite match the S-tier heavy hitters.

Dolls like Mechty and Zhaohui are stuck in B-tier for now, while Vepley and Cheeta have a tough time standing out. Krolik, Littara, and Nagant are in C-tier, held back by scaling problems and weak synergy.

S-Tier Characters in Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium

Gv9p41bwkaaldgb

Klukai

Rarity: SSR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Corrosion

Klukai’s an elite Doll who dishes out crazy Corrosion damage, especially with her AoE attacks that can wipe multiple enemies. She also slaps defensive debuffs on foes. Pair her with Peritya (another Corrosion dealer), and her AoE triggers Peritya’s Action Support, boosting Peritya’s damage even more. Klukai’s a beast and fits into any team.

Suomi

Rarity: SSR
Class: Support
Damage: Freeze

Suomi’s the best Support in Girls’ Frontline 2. She’s built to tank hits and throw up shields that soak up enemy attacks. Her ultimate heals all allies and clears enemy debuffs. Even as a Support, she deals solid damage—the more defense she has, the harder she hits. Suomi slots into every team.

Makiatto

Rarity: SSR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Freeze

Makiatto’s a killer damage dealer in the current meta and pairs perfectly with Suomi for a Freeze team core. She deals Physical and Freeze damage and gets a Frost Barrier for two turns with her ultimate. Since Suomi has the same skill, they can keep the Barrier up easily.

Qiongjiu

Rarity: SSR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Burn

Qiongjiu’s the top dog in Girls’ Frontline 2, thanks to her passive, Steady Plan, which adds three follow-up attacks whenever an ally damages an enemy. This makes her a must-have for late-game fights where enemies are tankier. Her mix of Physical and Burn damage lets her shred even the toughest foes.

Vector

Rarity: SSR
Class: Support
Damage: Burn

Vector’s a must for Burn-focused teams. She wields an SMG to slap Burn debuffs on enemies. Her passive, Perception Block, boosts support attacks with Burn damage when paired with Qiongjiu, making them a deadly duo that burns through anything.

A-Tier Characters

Best Daiyan Build Girls Frontline 2 Abilities Team

Daiyan

Rarity: SR
Class: Vanguard
Damage: Physical

Daiyan’s a solid A-tier pick for setting up plays, not stealing the show. She shines in boss fights with Perfect Tuning, which messes with enemy buffs and helps your damage dealers hit harder. With the Heavy Chord Rifle, she can strip enemy buffs and toss random team buffs at full health. She’s a reliable Vanguard for multiple team setups.

Centaureissi

Rarity: SSR
Class: Support
Damage: Fire

Centaureissi’s an elite Support for Burn teams, dealing Fire damage and healing allies. Her Afternoon Tea Break ultimate restores 100% of her attack power to allies, fixes up to seven Stability damage points for one unit, and clears debuffs. She’s not the best Burn unit but super versatile, earning her A-tier.

Lotta

Rarity: SR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Freeze

Lotta’s got strong AoE shotgun blasts that wreck nearby enemies. Her passive triggers a follow-up attack with 50% attack power as AoE Physical damage when enemies have Frostbite. Her ultimate, Amplified Courage, ignores cover damage reduction and gives an extra command if it hits two or more targets. She’s great for crowd control and Freeze teams with Suomi and Makiatto, but her long cooldowns hold her back.

Mosin-Nagant

Rarity: SSR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Electric

Mosin-Nagant’s your classic sniper, picking off enemies from afar with her long-range rifle. Her ultimate and active skills apply Paralysis debuffs. Her only downside is low mobility—she can get overwhelmed if caught out of position. Keep her in the back behind allies for safety.

Ksenia

Rarity: SR
Class: Support
Damage: Burn

If you don’t have Suomi, Ksenia’s the next-best Support. She applies Burn debuffs and heals allies. Her ultimate and passive give Blazing Assault 2 to herself and an ally, boosting attack by 15%. She’s not as strong as Suomi but works for Burn teams if you’re still hunting for the top Support.

Sharkry

Rarity: SR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Burn

Sharkry’s a top single-target damage dealer, bursting down key enemies with her Assault Rifle. Her passive boosts crit rate by 20% when a target has Overburn, which her active skills can apply. Pair her with Burn units like Tololo for more consistent damage buffs. Her AR can hit from eight tiles away, letting her snipe distant targets.

Tololo

Rarity: SSR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Hydro

Tololo’s a beast for early to mid-game content. Her passive lets her take two turns at the start of battle or when her Confectance Index is full, giving her an edge in quick fights.

Sabrina

Rarity: SSR
Class: Bulwark
Damage: Hydro

Sabrina’s a classic tank, rushing enemies with shotgun blasts for AoE Hydro damage. Pair her with Tololo, and Tololo gets crit rate and damage buffs (3%, stacking up to 8 times) when Hydro damage lands. Sabrina’s own attack buffs and counterattacks make them a deadly pair.

Vepley

Rarity: SSR
Class: Vanguard
Damage: AoE Physical/Debuffer

Vepley’s a free Vanguard who uses her shotgun to knock back enemies. Compared to other Vanguards, she’s lackluster—her damage is low, and her knockback can mess up your team’s positioning, making it hard for allies to hit targets.

Nemesis

Rarity: SR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Corrosion

Nemesis is a reliable backline Corrosion dealer, hitting from nine tiles away and applying defense-down debuffs to soften up tanky enemies. She’s not a star but makes your main DPS shine, fitting well in late-game boss fights.

B-Tier Characters

Maxresdefault 14

Dushevnaya

Rarity: SSR
Class: Support
Damage: Freeze

Dushevnaya’s a Freeze Support who gives allies a 10% Freeze and damage buff. She’s not as strong as Suomi and lacks healing or shielding, but she’s a decent ice buffer for weaker enemies if you play smart.

Ullrid

Rarity: SSR
Class: Vanguard
Damage: Physical

Ullrid’s a sword-wielding Vanguard who slices through enemies with high mobility and camouflage to stay alive. She’s great early and mid-game but can struggle late-game against tankier foes. Use ranged characters to soften enemies before sending her in.

Colphne

Rarity: SR
Class: Support
Damage: Hydro

Colphne’s a basic healer with no extra tricks. She’s only useful early-game when you lack other Supports, but her heals can’t compete with the utility and damage buffs of top-tier Supports. She’s decent for restoring stability, though.

Groza

Rarity: SR
Class: Bulwark
Damage: Physical

Groza’s a classic tank, giving nearby allies up to 30% defensive buffs and slowing enemy movement by two tiles. It’s niche but handy for kiting tough enemies or protecting your squishy DPS units.

Mechty

Rarity: SSR
Class: Support
Damage: Corrosion

Mechty helps shred bosses with AoE Corrosion damage and damage amplification but needs strong team synergy to stand out. She’s not a must-pull since other Dolls outshine her in similar roles.

Cheeta

Rarity: SR
Class: Support
Damage: Burn

Cheeta’s all about buffs, handing out two random ones with her ultimate for two turns. The randomness makes her inconsistent, and her passive healing isn’t enough to compete with top Supports.

Papasha

Rarity: SSR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Physical

Papasha deals Physical damage, clears debuffs, and summons a City Warden that boosts attack by 20% on crits. She’s great in Platoon content but not a top Physical pick elsewhere.

Zhaohui

Rarity: SSR
Class: Vanguard
Damage: Hydro

Zhaohui’s a new unit with Physical and Hydro damage, summoning Imperturable Arrow across tiles with decent mobility. Her low damage makes her tricky to build around, and better options exist.

C-Tier Characters

Peritya Girls Frontline 2 1024x576

Peritya

Rarity: SSR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: Corrosion

Peritya’s an SSR Sentinel with an LMG for Physical and AoE Corrosion shots. Her AoE is great early-game, but mid- to late-game enemies need single-target burst damage, where she falls short.

Yoohee

Rarity: SSR
Class: Support
Damage: Physical

Yoohee’s a Physical Support who buffs damage and lowers enemy defenses, working well with single-target DPS like Daiyan and Ullrid. But the lack of Physical Dolls in the global version and her weak sustain make her niche compared to meta Supports like Suomi.

Nagant

Rarity: SR
Class: Support
Damage: Corrosion

Not to be confused with Mosin-Nagant, Nagant’s a Support who uses her handgun for Acid Corrosion damage, applying up to 40% defense debuffs with her ultimate. Her lack of extra utility makes her outdated since other Dolls cover her skills better.

Littara

Rarity: SR
Class: Sentinel
Damage: AoE Physical/Debuffer

Littara lays down LMG fire with defense-down debuffs and AoE damage, but her low max damage (834) puts her behind other Sentinel DPS like Qiongjiu and Tololo. Use her early-game and swap her out later.

Krolik

Rarity: SR
Class: Vanguard
Damage: Burn

Krolik’s a weaker Ullrid, only worth using if you want a Vanguard sword unit. Her Burn damage helps Fire teams, but her low max damage (770 vs. Ullrid’s 921) and squishiness make her a risky frontline pick.

As more Dolls are added, we’ll be sure to recommend further team comps to our list.
