2025 Beta Meta Highlights:
- Roster: 2 Tanks, 3 DPS (Ardeos, Mara, Rime/Tariq—Destructoid notes Tariq as DPS), 2 Healers.
- Focus: New progression (gems, talents) favors kits with strong scaling, like Tariq’s Swing Timer.
- F2P Tips: All free; queue Quick Play for gear. Use Discord for parties.
- Tiers Defined:
- SSS (God-Tier): Essential; excels in all content.
- SS (Elite): Strong core; high synergy.
- S (Strong): Reliable mid-game.
- A (Viable): Niche; needs investment.
- B (Average): Beginner-friendly but limited scaling.
Community averages (TierMaker/Destructoid): Sylvie 95% S+, Helena 90%; Vigour lower due to lack of utility.
Overall Fellowship Tier List September 2025 (Open Beta)
Composite ranking for dungeon viability, based on Destructoid and Reddit consensus. Sustain heroes top for endurance; Tariq scales to S with mastery.
| Tier | Heroes (Archetype) |
|---|---|
| SSS (God-Tier) | Sylvie (Healer) – Pet-based HoT chains and revives; unmatched sustain for scaling runs. Helena (Tank) – Builder/Spender Toughness absorbs hits; top frontline protection. |
| SS (Elite) | Mara (DPS) – Stealth flanks for burst; beta meta for mob/boss melts. Tariq (DPS) – Swing Timer mastery enables S-tier damage; infinite scaling potential. |
| S (Strong) | Rime (DPS) – Winter Orbs AoE and CC; great wave control. Meiko (Tank) – Combo counters and buffs; reactive agility shines in skilled hands. |
| A (Viable) | Ardeos (DPS) – Fire DoT for sustained damage; niche in kiting setups. |
| B (Average) | Vigour (Healer) – Burst heals and buffs; solid but lacks depth compared to Sylvie. |
Investment Notes: Start with SSS like Sylvie for queues. Master Tariq for DPS carry—Destructoid calls it “arguably S Tier” with practice. Mara’s stealth is new beta favorite.
Tank Tier List September 2025 (Frontline Sustain)
Tanks mitigate and taunt; Helena edges for ease.
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| SSS | Helena – Toughness builder/spender; forgiving absorption. |
| SS | N/A |
| S | Meiko – Combo self-buffs; high skill ceiling. |
| A | N/A |
| B | N/A |
Highlights: Helena for beginners; Meiko rewards timing.
DPS Tier List September 2025 (Damage and Clears)
DPS focus burst/AoE; Tariq/Mara top for scaling.
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| SSS | N/A |
| SS | Mara – Stealth bursts; flanks enemies effectively. Tariq – Swing Timer spenders; max damage with practice. |
| S | Rime – AoE orbs; CC for team setups. |
| A | Ardeos – Fire DoT; good for DoT stacking. |
| B | N/A |
Insights: Tariq’s mechanics demand learning builders around timer; Mara dominates beta per Reddit.
Healer Tier List September 2025 (Team Sustain)
Healers prevent wipes; Sylvie crushes endurance.
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| SSS | Sylvie – Flutterflies/Boomshrooms HoT; pet synergy scales. |
| SS | N/A |
| S | N/A |
| A | N/A |
| B | Vigour – Radiant bursts; useful but “doesn’t bring much” per Destructoid. |
Spotlights: Sylvie for long runs; Vigour for quick bursts but lower utility.
