With a diverse roster of Espers fighting anomalies across the supernatural open world of Hethereau, players are looking for the strongest units to build powerful teams. This 1.0 tier list ranks the best Espers based on early global launch performance in PvE, boss fights, endgame content, and team synergy.

Tiers reflect overall strength, accessibility, and how well each Esper performs in the current meta. Remember that team composition and elemental reactions matter more than solo power. Pull for characters you enjoy and invest in what fits your playstyle.

S+ Tier: Meta Defining Powerhouses

  • Sakiri: The strongest offensive support in the game. She delivers massive team attack buffs through her passive and provides excellent crowd control with her skill that pulls, knocks down, or levitates enemies for AoE damage. She fits into almost every team composition and scales beautifully with investment.
  • Nanally: The highest raw damage main DPS and first limited S rank Esper. She summons an Underboss that coordinates automatic follow up attacks, creating huge damage multiplication. She excels at both single target boss fights and clearing groups of enemies.
  • Chiz: A powerful free to play DPS obtainable with full awakening copies through story progression. Her unique rhythm based combat system ties damage to in game funds and requires precise timing for maximum output. She has one of the highest skill ceilings but delivers top tier damage when mastered.
