Grimlight Tier List

Not sure which heroes you should place in your party? Our Grimlight tier list can help with that. Or, at least, it will. Grimlight just launched, and we haven’t had a huge amount of time to spend with the game so far. Instead, we’re going to round up all of the characters you can expect to see when you play, and we’ll turn it into a tier list over time. You can help us, by dropping your thoughts in the comments below.

Grimlight is a brand new mobile gacha RPG that draws inspiration from classic fairy tales. In fact, it does more than that, and actually features characters taken from, or directly inspired by, their fairy tale iterations. Aside from that, it’s everything you enjoy about the genre. Collect characters, fight enemies, equip them with loot, level up, and more. Check out the official site to learn more.

We’ve put together a list of Grimlight codes to help you get started. We also recommend checking out our other tier lists, including our Lord of Heroes tier list, Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas tier list, and Tower of Fantasy tier list.

What Do Our Tiers Mean?

Before we move onto the tier list though, we thought we’d quickly explain what our tiers mean:

• S Tier: These are the best characters currently available in the game, and you should definitely aim to add them to your party. They should also be the first choice to level up and gain access to equipment.
• A Tier: These characters are perfect for filling gaps in a party – particularly when you haven’t unlocked enough S tiers, or there aren’t enough S tiers to fill a party in the first place. You should investigate these characters and see which one will counter your party’s weakness.
• B Tier: Characters in this tier can really help during the early phases of the game, when you haven’t unlocked many characters, but they fade later on. Definitely use them when you lack S and A characters, but swap them out as much as possible.
• C Tier: The only real difference between C and D tier is that C tier characters can occasionally have niche uses. They may be great at a particular game mode, or be exceptionally powerful early on. A late-game party shouldn’t have any though.
• D Tier: We don’t recommend using these characters under any circumstance, unless you absolutely have to because you have nothing else. They underperform at all stages of the game, and in all game modes.

How Did We Pick Our Grimlight Tier List?

We used a combination of these factors when deciding our Grimlight tier list:

• Personal experience
• Community feedback
• General consensus from other tier lists

It’s worth bearing in mind though, that tier lists are subjective by nature. While this one is based on our personal experience with the game, yours may vary, so it’s worth taking it with a pinch of salt.

But that’s going to do it for this guide. Make sure to grab the game via the links at the top of this page, check out our related content in the third paragraph, and bookmark this page to keep an eye on the meta.

How Often Do We Update Our Grimlight Tier List?

We update this tier list regularly to ensure that it always follows the latest meta. Typically, you can expect an update around the following happenings:

• A new character releases
• Balance changes

There may be a small delay between the above two events as we’ll return to the game to check out the new character for ourselves, or to see how the balance patches have affected things.

We recommend bookmarking this guide and checking back often, as we turn it into a tier list.
