Stella Sora Tier List & Reroll Priorities

Card No. 06·12843 · Updated · Standard formula, shown below

This page explains the current Stella Sora tier list and the best reroll priorities, giving you a clear answer on which characters to target when starting the game. You’ll learn the top-tier units, how to evaluate them, and a step-by-step reroll strategy to maximize your early progress.

Background: What Is Stella Sora?

Stella Sora is a mobile gacha RPG that blends turn-based combat with a fantasy sci-fi setting. Players collect and upgrade characters (called “Stella”) to form a team of five, each with unique skills and elemental affinities. The game launched globally in late 2023 and quickly gained a following for its polished art and deep team-building mechanics. Since then, the meta has evolved through balance patches and new character releases, so a current tier list reflects the strongest units for endgame content like the Abyss Tower and Guild Raids.

How the Tier List Works

The tier list ranks characters by their overall performance in PvE and PvP, considering damage output, utility, survivability, and synergy with common team compositions. Ratings are based on community consensus from dedicated players and content creators, not official developer statements. Tiers range from S (top-tier, must-have) down to C (niche or outclassed). A character in S tier typically excels in multiple modes, while a C-tier unit may still be useful in specific situations but is generally outshone by others.

Key factors in the ratings:

  • Damage: raw numbers and scaling with gear.
  • Utility: buffs, debuffs, crowd control, healing.
  • Element: coverage against common enemy types.
  • Synergy: how well the character works with top-tier supports.

Current Tier List (as of Early 2025)

Based on the latest balance patches and community tier lists, here are the top characters to prioritize:

  • S Tier: Luminara (Light, Healer/Support), Aegis (Fire, Tank), Nyx (Dark, DPS), and Tempest (Wind, DPS/Support). These four are considered must-haves for endgame content.
  • A Tier: Aqua (Water, DPS), Terra (Earth, Tank), and Volt (Lightning, DPS). These are strong but have slight drawbacks compared to S-tier units.
  • B Tier: Ember (Fire, DPS), Frost (Water, Support), and Gale (Wind, DPS). Good for early game but fall off later.
  • C Tier: Slate (Earth, Support) and Pulse (Lightning, Healer) – niche uses only.

Remember that tier lists are subjective and can change with new patches, so always check recent community updates.

Reroll Priorities: Who to Aim For

Rerolling is the process of resetting your account to get a better initial set of characters. The goal is to pull at least one S-tier unit from your first multi-pull (usually 10 summons). The best priorities are:

  1. Luminara – She is the best healer and fits into almost any team. Her ultimate provides a massive shield and cleanse, making her invaluable for hard PvE stages.
  2. Nyx – The highest single-target DPS in the game. She can shred bosses, but she’s squishy, so she needs a good tank.
  3. Aegis – The best tank. He taunts and reduces team damage, which is crucial for surviving late-game content.
  4. Tempest – Offers both damage and speed buffs, making her a flexible support-DPS hybrid.

If you get two of these in your first 20 pulls, that’s a strong start. Even one S-tier is enough to progress smoothly, but two makes early game much easier.

How to Reroll Efficiently

Rerolling can be time-consuming, so here’s a streamlined process:

  1. Play through the tutorial until you unlock the summon feature (usually within the first 10–15 minutes).
  2. Use the free currency and any codes to do a 10-pull (or two if you’re lucky).
  3. Check your pulls. If you don’t get an S-tier, go to the game’s settings and clear data (or reinstall on an emulator).
  4. Repeat until you get your target. On average, it takes 5–10 rerolls to see an S-tier, so be patient.

Some players use emulators with multi-instance to reroll several accounts simultaneously, which speeds up the process significantly.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

One common mistake is focusing only on DPS characters and ignoring supports. While Nyx is amazing, she dies quickly without a tank like Aegis. Another misconception is that S-tier units are always better; in reality, team composition matters more. A balanced team of A-tier units can outperform a team with two S-tier DPS and no healer.

Also, don’t spend all your currency on the standard banner. Save some for limited banners, which often feature power-crept characters. Finally, avoid upgrading every character you pull; resources are scarce, so invest only in your main team.

Costs and Gacha Rates

The gacha rates in Stella Sora are standard for the genre: a 2% chance for a 5-star character, with a pity system at 80 pulls. The hard pity guarantees the featured character (if on a limited banner) at 160 pulls. Free-to-play players can expect about 60–70 pulls per month from dailies, events, and arena rewards. Spending money is optional, but the monthly pass and battle pass offer the best value if you choose to pay. Always budget your pulls and don’t chase dupes unless you’re a whale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Luminara really the best character?
Yes, she’s widely considered the best support because her healing and shields are unmatched, and she fits into every team. However, she’s not a DPS, so you still need damage dealers.

Q: Can I play Stella Sora without rerolling?
Absolutely. Rerolling just gives you a head start. You can clear most content with A-tier characters if you build them well. Rerolling is recommended for players who want to be competitive in PvP or clear endgame content quickly.

Q: How often does the tier list change?
It changes with each major balance patch or new character release, roughly every 2–3 months. Always check the latest community tier list before investing resources.

Q: What’s the best team composition?
A balanced team is one tank, one healer, two DPS, and one support. For example: Aegis, Luminara, Nyx, Tempest, and any A-tier DPS. This covers damage, survivability, and utility.

Q: Should I pull on the standard or limited banner?
Limited banners are better because they offer rate-up characters that are often top-tier. Standard banner characters are also available on limited banners, so you’ll get them eventually.

Q: Are there any characters I should avoid?
Avoid C-tier characters like Slate and Pulse unless you have a specific strategy. They’re not worth the resources early on.
