Released in September 2018 for iOS and Android, Dragalia Lost has grown to become one of Nintendo’s most popular free-to-play mobile games. However, not everyone has found the game as easy as it is charming. Luckily, they have our Dragalia Lost tier list to help them out!

The game is a retro-styled isometric action RPG, set in a fantasy realm where humans and dragons coexist. Players have to select the right combination of characters to complete quests, in order to evolve their dragon powers. Each has abilities that are linked to five elements: Fire, Water, and Wind correspond to the classic rock, paper and scissors machanic, while Light and Shadow are strong against one another.

Listed below is the overall tier list for adventurers, as well as the dragon tier list. The units are separated by their strength tier (S-D), as well as their element to help you identify exactly which adventurers you should be using.

 

S Tier Dragalia Lost Characters

You’ll see adventurers in this tier in almost every player’s roster because they are incredibly powerful. These units form the game’s current meta – meaning having a handful of these adventurers will undoubtedly make end game content easier. If you have not already picked up or are using these adventurers then you are missing out!

A Tier Dragalia Lost Characters

Make no mistake, these adventurers are powerful as well. What bars them from S-tier status, however, is the lack of flexibility and utility outside of their predetermined roles. While S-tier units can excel in every composition you put them in, A-tiers are only extremely good in the role they’re initially intended for.

These adventurers are just fine. They won’t blow you away on any part of gameplay, but there’s still value in strengthening them. Expect to spend a bit more time and in-game resources to make these units viable for the end game, though.
