Valiant Force 2 Tier List

So you’ve just started playing Valiant Force 2 and aren’t sure which characters are good? Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly what our Valiant Force 2 tier list is here to help with. In this very guide, we rank all of the characters from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst. That way, you can focus on filling out your party with S and A tiers to ensure that you perform well, skipping the B-D tiers. We’ll also include a description of the tiers so you know what they actually mean.

Valiant Force 2 takes place a decade after the events of the original, with the realm of Arathos once again thrown into chaos. The Crystal of Arathos and its guardian, Leon Daracan, have both vanished mysteriously, which has caused the people to panic. That’s where you come in. You recruit a team of heroes, send them out into battle, and restore the realm to its former glory.

You can learn more about it on the official site. We also recommend checking out our Valiant Force 2 reroll guide and Valiant Force 2 codes list.

Valiant Force 2 Tier List

Before we move onto the tier list proper, here’s a description of how our tiering system works so that you can make sense of it. Also, thank you to Redditer u/XiaoLiangEs for help with this tier list. Check out their post on Reddit.

S Tier

God tier characters. Try and reroll for one at the beginning as they will power you through the game, then create a party out of them at endgame.

• Altima
• Emilia
• Miu
• Vincent

A Tier

Solid characters that are great for filling gaps in your party when you don’t have enough S tiers.

• Cybella
• Drake
• Eden
• Izumi
• Jenny
• Kahuna
• Madeleine
• Raegar
• Rhea

B Tier

These characters start strong but fade later on. Don’t be ashamed to use them, but do swap them out as you unlock S and A tiers.

• Eliza
• Fave
• Hinata
• Ronan
• Teresa
• Valerie
• Verdans
• Victoria

C Tier

In certain game modes, or at the beginning, characters in this tier can excel. Mostly, they’re useless though.

• Kai
• Nadia
• Reiner
• Tess

D Tier

Never use D tiers unless you can’t avoid it. They’re awful at all game modes, and at all phases of the game.

• Taegen
• Zedda

What Do Our Tiers Mean?

Here’s a brief explanation of each of our tiers:

• S Tier: Characters in this tier are the absolute best that the game has to offer. You should prioritise unlocking these and increasing their power. One of these can carry you through the entire game, and a full party will make most of the endgame content trivial – provided you focus on growing their power.
• A Tier: If your collection is lacking in S tiers, A tiers are great for filling gaps. These characters are still great in their own right, but they just lack a little something when you compare them to an S tier. Use them when you need to, but drop them when you can.
• B Tier: During the early phases of the game, you’ll likely rely on a party of a single S tier and a bunch of B tiers. These characters are quite easy to get, and are solid, if unremarkable. Definitely swap them out for A tiers and S tiers, but don’t be ashamed to use them if you need to.
• C Tier: This is when we get into ‘bad character’ territory. C tiers are, much like D tiers, some of the worst characters in the game, but they often have niche uses. They might be really strong in a particular game mode, or during a certain phase of the game. Take a close look at their skills and judge accordingly.
• D Tier: Characters in this tier are simply never worth using. They’re the worst characters in the game, suffering from severe balance issues, and will underperform at all points in any modes. Don’t use them if you can avoid it.
