Astral Vanguard character tier list
Overall rankings for the Spire and for open-world play.
What changed in v3.1
Solveig arrives straight into S: healing and resistance shred on one Stone unit is a combination the element has never had, and it makes teams that never wanted Stone take it anyway. Nyxara moves up after a Spire rotation that rewards sustained single-target damage over burst windows. Bastion drops a tier — nothing about him changed, but the shield slot now has an occupant who also contributes.
- Moved up: Nyxara moved up to S (was A)
- Moved down: Bastion moved down to B (was A)
- Added: Solveig added to S
Placement is about how much a character raises a team’s ceiling, not raw personal damage. A support who makes three other characters better beats a damage dealer who works alone.
Everything in A and above clears current endgame content comfortably without duplicate copies, on four-star weapons.
B
- S
- Raises the ceiling of any team they join. Build without hesitation.
- A
- Excellent. Clears all current content with no reservations.
- B
- Good in the right team, or good once invested.
- C
- Serviceable early. Replace when a better option arrives.
