Sword of Convallaria Tier List
This updated tier list for September 2024 prioritizes PvE performance in Sword of Convallaria. We've ranked all legendary units based on their effectiveness in PvE content. Our team isn't specialized in PvP, so this list may not accurately reflect their performance in competitive modes.

B-Tier
B-Tier units are less effective compared to A-tier characters and can often be easily replaced with stronger options. If you have access to higher-tier units, investing resources in B-Tier characters may not be the most efficient use of your resources. Nevertheless, the free characters given earlier in the game like Maithe, Faycal and Rawiyah has proven to be able to clear ALL of the game's content. I like to call this the free-character-tier.
| Character | DIscussion |
|---|---|
Maitha | (1) Excellent defensive capabilities with high damage reduction. (2) Fastest character in the game with her SPD stat. (3) Provides health recovery and support within a two-grid range. (4) Effective in early game stages and decent in high-difficulty levels. (5) Core in a Sword of Convallaria team providing the leadership aura |
Faycal | (1) Can impose random debuffs on targets. (2) Effective in interrupting enemy actions with his disrupting skill. (3) Performs well in elevated terrains. (4) Useful against Destroyer bosses in specific stages. |
Rawiyah | (1) High attack and critical hit bonuses from trait and auras. (2) Skills has high potential to deal strong single-target damage (3) Can also deal decent AOE damage to clear stages faster (4) Provides valuable bonuses to friendly units with her leadership aura skill (5) Core unit in a Sword of Convallaria team |
C-Tier
C-Tier units are the least effective characters in our Sword of Convallaria tier list. They have less effective abilities compared to higher-tier units, making them less valuable in both offensive and defensive roles. Due to their limited impact towards higher-difficulty contents, these units are less worthwhile for resource investment. If you have better options available, focus on upgrading or acquiring higher-tier units for better results. But... If you really like Teadon's style of play, by all means have fun and build him!
Niche-Tier
Introducing our Niche Tier! This category is for characters who, while not consistently high-performing, can excel in specific situations or game modes. For example, Iggy, who excels in maps with uneven terrain, can easily outperform other units in such environments. However, in flat areas, Iggy may struggle and be considered a lower-tier character.
Guzman | (1) High attack bonus when health is low, with strong sustained combat ability. (2) Excellent magic damage defense and high survivability with the ability to be resurrected. (3) Provides large-scale AOE damage and life-steal with his ultimate skill. (4) Has the ability to disrupt opponent's formation. (5) Totally underrated |
This tier is experimental, and we welcome your feedback to help us refine our understanding of these characters' strengths and limitations. Your input will be invaluable in future updates to our tier list.
