Jul 15

Written by Alec Blackwood

This Lost Sword global tier list ranks the best characters for both early and late game PvE based on their value, flexibility, and team synergy. Some placements have been shifted from common rankings to better reflect performance in the current global version.

S+ Tier (Top Tier Characters)

These characters dominate across most game modes. They’re strong from early to late game and worth heavy investment.

Lancelot

Melee DPS with high sustain and cheat death. Can double as an off-tank with proper relics.

Tiamat

Top-tier magic burst damage. Great in boss fights, Tower, and any PvE content.

Dian Cecht

Hybrid support-healer with shields and regen. Key pick for raid survivability and progression.

Isolde

Reliable healer with damage reduction and cleanse. Easy to keep alive and valuable in long fights.

Galahad

Tank with immunity and damage reduction. Pairs well with sustain-heavy teams and is PvE-safe.

Merlin

AoE freeze and crit rate buffs. Best used in control-heavy comps or against trash wave encounters.

S Tier (Core)

These characters perform extremely well in specific roles and are easy to build around.

Cristina

Consistent ranged DPS. Applies burn and stays relevant with minimal gear.

Lua

Melee attacker with debuff potential. Great pick if you lack Tiamat.

Lisa

Early carry with high scaling in the midgame. Falls off slightly in endgame but still usable.

Erin

Versatile buffer with shields, damage boost, and mitigation. Excellent for frontline teams.

Kay

Durable bruiser with cheat death. Flexible in both offense and defense roles.

Guinevere

Support-healer with revive and cleanse. Saves runs during bad RNG in boss content.

Neo-Bedivere

New global addition. Lifesteal, CC immunity, and sustained healing make him a top-tier support pick.

A Tier (Strong but Team-Dependent)

Good picks that shine with the right support or in specific content.

Tristan

Root and ranged utility. Better in PvP or against unmovable bosses.

Claire

Buffs and CC in one package. Excellent in multi-wave stages and events.

Vivien

Niche debuffer. Can be strong against high-defense enemies with the right team.

Ria

Crit damage and attack buffs. Scales with gear and works well in glass cannon setups.

Anessa

Reliable melee DPS. Early-game friendly and pairs well with defense debuffers.

Esmeralda

Secondary healer with AoE utility. Great backup in long fights or for duo-healer comps.

Percival

Shield-based tank. Not flashy but gets the job done in static content.

B Tier (Niche or Low Ceiling)

Usable in specific scenarios, but often outclassed.

Circe

Fear effects and light damage. Best used as filler in control comps.

Bedivere

Root support with limited application. Can stall but rarely turns a fight.

Ethan

Starter unit. Decent melee damage but low scaling.

Morgana

Dispel specialist. Useful in select raid or PvP scenarios.

Morgause

Low-impact caster. Needs heavy investment to compete.

Gawain

Basic tank with stun. Pair with defensive supports or drop early.

C Tier (Low Impact)

Rarely worth using outside early game or memes.

Elizabeth, Mia, Lucy, Lilith

All suffer from poor stats and scaling. Swap out quickly.

Joan of Arc

Supportive healer with cleanse. Power-crept by Isolde and Dian Cecht.

Elin, Rowena

Low-value supports. Don’t contribute enough past chapter 3.

D Tier (Do Not Invest)

These units offer little return and fall off quickly.

Baylin, Elaine, Isis, Jessi, Merry, Nymue, Ray, Rita, Sarah

Lack the stats, kits, or synergy to justify use.

Rachel, Urien

Extremely weak even with gear. Remove from teams ASAP.

Final Blurb

This Lost Sword global tier list focuses on long-term value and performance in PvE content. Characters like Lancelot, Dian Cecht, and Tiamat are safe investments, while others may shine only in niche setups. Always build around synergy, relics, and placement to get the most out of your team.

Prioritize strong frontliners, buff-heavy supports, and high-scaling DPS to clear content faster.

FAQ

Who is the best character in Lost Sword right now?

Lancelot is the most versatile unit in the game, able to serve as both DPS and tank with top-tier survivability.

Is rerolling still worth it after launch?

Yes. A strong start with units like Tiamat, Dian Cecht, or Isolde gives you a major advantage long-term.

Can I use low-tier characters if I like them?

You can, but expect slower progress. Most low-tier units fall off without heavy investment and rare gear.

Which healer should I build first?

Dian Cecht or Isolde. Both scale well and are useful in every game mode.

What’s the difference between Neo-Bedivere and Bedivere?

Neo-Bedivere is a newer, vastly stronger version with CC immunity and healing. Classic Bedivere is mostly used for root support.

Do pets affect tier rankings?

Not directly. This tier list focuses on characters, but optimal pet pairing does raise a unit’s performance.
