Apex Tier: The Elpis: Fallen Star Best Characters
These are the strongest picks in the entire Elpis: Fallen Star character list, and the ones worth prioritizing if you are choosing where to spend your summons.
Ghost Samurai is the best Ironclad in the game right now. She tanks well, deals respectable damage for her class, and her Total Assault skill shields the whole team while she heals passively in the background. Her healing alone can replace a dedicated healer slot in a lot of fights.
Leticia cuts Total Assault cooldowns by 25 seconds for every other unit on your team, which is huge since it lets characters with long cooldowns fire off their ultimate twice in a row. Her own skill hits hard and shreds enemy defense too.
Lingyao lets a second Ghosthunter use their Total Assault skill in the same phase, which basically doubles your backline burst potential when paired correctly.
Inellis brings some of the highest raw single target damage in the game, and when timed right in PVP, her burst can end a fight before the opponent gets a chance to respond.
Estella, The Solace, and Asteria round out the Spellweaver Apex picks. Estella punishes enemies every time a stun or control effect lands, The Solace is a flexible healer and buffer that improves almost any team she joins, and Asteria buffs damage over time output while contributing her own.

T0 Tier Heroes
T0 is stacked, and honestly a lot of these characters are Apex level in the right team. Jessica is a PVP menace thanks to her petrify stun, Darkwing punishes backline targets hard with her opening strike, and Ivorywing pairs beautifully with Inellis for a stacking damage combo.
On the Spellweaver side, Ethel and Souffle both specialize in damage over time and combo well together, while Teostra brings reliable stun uptime. GhostQueen, Nebula, Miam, Freya, and Delis all hold strong Ghosthunter slots too, each bringing something different from pure AoE damage to team wide crit buffs.
T1 And T2 Tier Heroes
T1 characters like Kaguya, Nikita, Rann, and Timmy are far from bad. They simply need the right team or matchup to really shine. Kaguya, for example, gets written off early because her kit is pure defense, but she becomes genuinely strong once you have teammates that benefit from her emblem set choices later in the game.
T2 units such as Tequila, Seki, and Opera are perfectly fine while you are still building your roster. Use them to clear early content and swap them out once better options roll in. Nobody should feel bad about leaning on T2 picks in the first few weeks.
Best Team Building Tips For New And Returning Players
A team in this game is made up of eight units, and the standard setup most players lean on is two of each class. This balance matters because during the Total Assault phase, only one unit per class can activate their ultimate at once, so running two of each class means four units get to unleash their burst every single phase.
Pay close attention to elemental matchups too. Pyro, Dendro, and Hydro types deal extra damage to each other in a rock paper scissors style loop, while Lumin and Umbra always trade bonus damage against one another. Using the right elemental matchup against a boss can noticeably speed up your clears.
A few proven synergy combos worth building around include Souffle and Ethel for a stacking damage over time team, Ivorywing paired with Inellis for a judgement stacking burst comp, and Leticia alongside Lingyao for a Ghosthunter team that fires off Total Assault skills far more often than usual.
Elpis: Fallen Star Tier List – Factors Taken Into Consideration
It helps to understand what separates one tier from the next and how we built this Elpis Fallen star tier list. This tier list leans on end game weight, meaning more importance is placed on how a character performs in Formidable Assault and Illusory Realm rather than just early story clears. Most of the roster can clear the majority of content if your team is built correctly, so treat this as a guide for optimizing rather than a strict rulebook.
- Apex characters are the best pick within their own class and hold up in nearly every team composition and mode.
- T0 characters are excellent, sometimes matching Apex performance in specific comps, but slightly less flexible across the board.
- T1 characters shine in the right setup or content type, and make solid second team or filler options.
- T2 characters are fine for early progression or niche situations, but will not carry you through the toughest fights.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Who are the best characters to pull for first in Elpis: Fallen Star?
A. GhostSamurai, Leticia, Lingyao, and Inellis are the strongest starting points if you can get any of them. GhostSamurai in particular is valuable early since her healing and shields reduce how much you need to rely on a separate healer.
Q. Is this Elpis: Fallen Star tier list 2026 accurate for PVP as well as PVE?
A. Mostly, though PVP has a few specialists worth knowing about separately, like Jessica, Osadin, and Darkwing, who all have kits built specifically around winning the Total Assault race against an opponent.
Q. Should I skip T1 and T2 characters completely?
A. No. Most of the game can be cleared comfortably with T1 and T2 units as long as your team composition is balanced. Save your best resources for Apex and T0 picks, but do not feel like lower tier characters are wasted pulls.
Q. Does this tier list change with new updates?
A. Yes. As new characters release and balance changes roll out, rankings shift. It is worth checking back periodically, especially after a major content update or new banner.
Q. What is the best Elpis: Fallen Star team composition for beginners?
A. A standard two of each class setup, meaning two Ironclads, two Voidblades, two Spellweavers, and two Ghosthunters, works well for most players and keeps your Total Assault phase active every round.
Q. Why is Kaguya ranked lower despite being a five star character?
A. Her kit is purely defensive, which makes her less impactful early on compared to units that heal or buff your team. She becomes much more useful in later game content once your team has other pieces in place around her.
