Stella Sora characters tier list (launch)

Stella Sora has launched worldwide with a decent roster of characters, and we’re here to help you understand which characters perform the best in the current meta.

Stella Sora‘s gacha revolves around Trekkers. The Trekkers have three different roles (Vanguard, Support, and Versatile) and six elements. While you can overlook elements to some extent, you’ll have to pay attention to roles during team composition.

Let’s look at which characters are the best choices and worth a reroll for, and which ones are worth replacing in the first instance.

Complete Stella Sora characters tier list

I have used four tiers to differentiate the Trekkers in Stella Sora.

• S-tier characters are the best choices in the current meta, and they will become the building block of your teams.
• A-tier characters are decent choices, but you’ll have to focus on their elemental setups more than S-tiers.
• B-tier characters are good choices for beginners.
• C-tier characters should be replaced as early as possible because there are better alternatives.

Characters yet to be assessed: Caramel, Shimiao, Coronis

S-tier

• Chitose: Being the first limited character in the game, Chitose is the best unit to get at the start of your adventure. She has the highest base ATK stat and a powerful 6-move combo. Her Ultimate does a lot of area-of-effect (AoE) damage and can also slow down enemies for a limited time. She excels at taking down single and large groups of enemies with ease.
• Nanoha: Nanoha’s greatest strength is the ease of landing her combo, as you have to chain just three moves. Her Ultimate is extremely fun as it summons two auto-firing turrets. Nanoha is also one of the best Trekkers for beginners.
• Ann: Ann is arguably the best support character in the game, as she can buff her squad’s ATK by up to 66%. She can also summon a creature that raises the squad’s ATK. While there’s an element of RNG with her kit, Ann’s abilities make sure that the entire squad’s ATK is buffed at almost all times during a battle.
• Minova: Minova’s kit is a hybrid of a versatile and support character, and she offers a bit of everything. You can play her at the main slot or roll with her as a support. Her abilities raise her own ATK and that of her teammates.
• Ridge: Ridge is the only 4* Trekker that I will put on S-tier. The only note of caution is to keep your distance, as her pool of health is relatively low. She has excellent range on her attacks, so the distance isn’t a problem. You can also buff the attacks of your allies by making them proc Terra-specific attacks to do more damage.
• Freesia: Once you master how to operate Freesia in her Berserk state, she won’t have any weaknesses. Berserk buffs all her attacks, and also transforms her kit to a 3-move combo. Like Chitose, Freesia can also inflict Chill with her main skill and Steam with her Support skill.

A-tier

• Gerie: Her 5-move attack combo and ability to self-buff make Gerie a great choice. The buffs she receives from her AoE abilities allow her to recharge and auto-attack other enemies. She was a S-tier in CBT, but we have Chitose now, who has a significantly better kit.
• Nazuna: While Nazuna is a S-tier choice in Terra squads, her utility dies down in other teams. Her abilities also have an RNG element, so you can’t count on them at all times. When the luck is in your favor, Nazuna is arguably the best unit when it comes to team buffs. Her abilities can also do damage as a bonus, but it all comes down to odds and whether you’re using a Terra-based squad.
• Chixia: The only reason for Chixia to be down at A-tier is the relatively low damage of her ATK stat. While she does decent damage, it will fall low against harder enemies. That said, she fits well with almost any team as she can raise the damage potential of all her allies. Her Ultimate, thanks to its locking ability, will never miss. The abilities aren’t RNG-based, so they offer a level of consistency.
• Mistique: I like how Mistique operates via her summoned creatures. Her base abilities do decent damage and work well in terms of crowd control. She’s a reliable attacker to have, but her base attack potential is also on the lower end.
• Tilia: Tilia has good damage with her main skill, and she can also stun enemies for two seconds with her support skill. She’s easily S-tier when it comes to bosses, but her lack of AoE damage and general ATK puts her at A-tier.
• Cosette: While Cosette’s general ATK is low, her support skill is absolutely amazing. She raises the Umbra damage taken by the enemies, and she can be considered an S-tier if you’re only using Umbra units.

B-tier

• Flora: Flora can raise the crit chance and crit damage of her allies, along with dealing damage with her support skill. Her Ultimate can be devastating, but certain enemies can bypass the damage zone easily, putting her at B-tier.
• Teresa: She’s a decent support who can create a protective barrier and a damage field. However, she can either apply this to herself or the character that’s in the main slot.
• Laru: Her 5-move combo has impressive ATK, while the Ultimate has consistent damage potential. Unfortunately, her support skill has a limited use-case scenario.
• Noya: While Noya is a beginner unit, I like her combo, and she can fit well with a Ventus-only squad. She’s a stable damage character who is worth building till you get a better one from the gacha.

C-tier

• Jinglin: Jinglin can perform well as a hybrid support, and she’s good with bosses. However, her attack tapers off against large groups of enemies.
• Canace: Decent when it comes to buffing the ATK of the main unit, but not much use otherwise.
• Amber: There’s not much use for Amber apart from the fact that you get her at the start, and she is a good beginning unit.
• Kasimira: A really weak unit that could only work well in an Ignis-based team.
• Iris: She is a strange character because she acts better as a damage unit than a support. However, her kit is pretty lacklustre.
