📊 Epic Seven Tier List — May 2026
Hero tiers are split into PvE (hunts, story, raids) and PvP (Arena, Guild Wars, RTA). A hero can be S-tier in one mode and mediocre in the other — keep that in mind!
SS Tier — Meta-Defining Heroes 🏆
| Hero | Role | Best Content | Why They’re Broken |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbiter Vildred | Attacker / AoE DPS | PvP & PvE | Revive passive + AoE wipe makes him nearly unstoppable |
| Tamarinne | Healer / CR Pusher | PvE (all) | Idol form heals + pushes CR for whole team every turn |
| Seaside Bellona | Attacker | Hunt farming, PvP | S2 procs bonus attacks based on enemy HP percentage |
| Perfumer Byblis | Support | PvE / Guild Wars | Barrier + healing + CR manipulation — the 2026 support queen |
| Ruele of Light | Healer / Revive | PvP | Full revive with invincibility frame; incredibly hard to counter |
💡 Pro Tip: If you can only target one SS-tier hero as a new player, prioritise Tamarinne for PvE or Arbiter Vildred for both modes.
S Tier — Exceptional in Their Niche ⭐
| Hero | Role | Best Content | Standout Skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sigret | Attacker | Wyvern Hunt | Naturally applies defense break — best Wyvern DPS |
| Iseria | Ranger | PvP / PvE support | Resets allies’ cooldowns; absurd utility |
| Lilibet | Warrior | PvP | Strips dual-attack synergies and counters revive |
| Angelica | Healer | Early game / PvE | Full free-to-play healer, incredible survivability |
| Basar | Mage | PvP / RTA | CR pushes enemies backward + silence; top-tier RTA pick |
A Tier — Solid & Reliable 💪
| Hero | Role | Best Content |
|---|---|---|
| Vildred | AoE Attacker | Story & side-story farming |
| Furious | Ranger / Support | Wyvern Hunt (defense break + speed buff) |
| Adventurer Ras | Knight | Golem / early tankiness |
| Clarissa | Warrior | PvP / early PvE bruiser |
| Carmainerose | Mage | Golem Hunt / PvE |
B Tier — Situational, Not Wasted
B-tier heroes are perfectly usable in early-to-mid game content. If you pull one, don’t dismantle them — many B-tier heroes shine in specific hunts or modes. Invest in them until you get better options.
🎲 Reroll Guide — Who Should You Aim For?
Rerolling is optional in Epic Seven because the Selective Summon system lets you pull up to 30 times and pick your starting 5-star hero. Here’s who to target:
Best Reroll Targets (May 2026)
- Tamarinne — Best PvE support; carries you through 95% of story content
- Arbiter Vildred — Best all-rounder; dominant in both PvP and PvE
- Sigret — Best Wyvern Hunter; unlocks the best gear farming loop fast
- Ruele of Light — If you want a head-start in PvP
⚠️ Important: Prioritise a farming hero over a PvP hero early on. You need gear to be competitive in PvP anyway. Arbiter Vildred doubles as a great farmer AND PvP pick — perfect for beginners.
How to Reroll
- Complete the tutorial (takes ~10 minutes)
- Head to the Selective Summon banner
- Pull up to 30 times (it’s free)
- If you don’t get a target hero, tap “Re-roll” — resets the 30 pulls
- Repeat until you land a hero from the list above
🤝 Best Beginner Team Compositions (Free-to-Play)
You don’t need 5-star whales to clear PvE content. Here are two reliable teams built almost entirely from free units:
Wyvern 13 (Best Gear Farm) 🐉
| Hero | Role | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Sigret | Main DPS (defense break) | Prayer of Solitude Selective Summon |
| Furious | Support / def break backup | Side Story / Secret Shop |
| Alexa | Poison / DPS | Free Specialty Change hero |
| Angelic Montmorancy | Healer / Cleanser | Free Specialty Change |
🏆 This is a 100% free-to-play team that can clear Wyvern 13 consistently. Angelic Montmorancy’s specialty change makes her immune to crowd control — she will never die to Wyvern’s AoE.
Story & Side Story Farming ⚡
Bring as many AoE attackers as possible for auto-clearing story maps:
- Vildred — Best free AoE farmer
- Bellona / Seaside Bellona — Great HP-% damage for bosses
- Arbiter Vildred — AoE wipe + self-revive means he basically solo-farms
- Fill the last slot with a healer like Angelica until you’re comfortable
🏁 10 Beginner Tips to Progress Fast
- Do your daily quests every day — Free energy, skystones, and molagoras add up fast
- Rush Angelic Montmorancy’s Specialty Change — She heals, cleanses, and carries early PvE
- Focus on Wyvern 13 ASAP — It drops the best gear in the game (Speed sets, Hit sets)
- Don’t spread resources — Pick 4 heroes and fully invest in them before building others
- Spend Skystones on energy, not summons — Gear > heroes in this game
- Check the Secret Shop daily — Rare gear and molagoras appear at discounts
- Use the Labyrinth for free summon currency and gear
- Complete Episode 2 & 3 story content for exclusive heroes and major rewards
- Join a Guild early — Guild Wars rewards include rare crafting materials
- Don’t ignore Abyss — Abyss floors reward Artifacts, which can be game-changing
