Grand Summoners Tier List – Best Units to Build

What is Grand Summoners Tier List? If you’re playing Grand Summoners, you already know how overwhelming the roster can feel. With constant banners, crossover units, and multiple roles to consider, it’s easy to waste resources on characters that fall off later. That’s where a tier list really helps.

This Grand Summoners tier list is designed to give you a clear idea of which units are worth building right now and which ones are better left on the bench. Whether you’re pushing story content, farming events, or preparing for endgame fights, focusing on the right characters can save you weeks of grinding.

|How This Grand Summoners Tier List Works

This tier list ranks units based on overall performance, not just raw damage. We considered:

  • Damage output and scaling
  • Utility such as buffs, debuffs, or break power
  • Survivability and team synergy
  • Flexibility across PvE modes

Units are grouped into tiers from SS (top-tier, meta-defining) down to D (niche or outdated). Keep in mind that team composition still matters a lot. Even lower-tier units can shine in the right setup.

|Understanding Roles in Grand Summoners

When building teams, it’s important to balance roles rather than stacking only attackers. Most successful teams include:

  • Attacker: Main source of damage
  • Sub Attacker: Secondary DPS or burst unit
  • Breaker: Focused on breaking enemy guards
  • Defender: Shields, mitigation, or tanking
  • Support: Healing, Arts generation, and buffs

Even an SS-tier attacker will struggle without proper support behind them.

Grand Summoners rewards smart planning more than brute force. This tier list should help you decide which units deserve your time, crystals, and awakening materials. While meta can shift with new banners and crossovers, SS and S-tier characters tend to stay relevant for a long time.

If you’re unsure where to invest next, start at the top of this list, build balanced teams around strong supports, and you’ll have a much smoother journey through Raktehelm.
