Mongil: Star Dive
Character Tier List
| Tier | Character | Why |
| S+ | Narae (5★ Ice Support) | Shields the team and boosts damage at the same time, applies Ice Affliction for Ice teams and can support outside of Ice teams too. |
Mina (5★ Fire Fighter) | A very strong DPS in the game, her Foxfire Clone doubles her damage output while her Charm debuff weakens enemy ATK and DEF at the same time. | |
Esther (5★ Wind Assassin) | Deals Wind damage and applies Wind Affliction even while off-field; Confusion on Special Skill makes her unable to be detected by enemies and can take advantage of that. | |
Flare (5★ Fire Destroyer) | The current Fastest Stagger Gauge builder in the game, her Blaze Zones buff Fire DMG and her Ultimate lowers enemy Fire RES and DEF | |
Jiwon (5★ Wind Support) | Best Support for Wind teams especially when paired with Esther. Divine Harmony buffs Wind DMG and reduces Stamina Consumption while her Special Skill groups enemies and Ultimate applies Wind Affliction. | |
| S | Gabi (5★ Earth Fighter) | Can petrify and deals heavy burst damage while tanking damage. Wooden Guardian Statue buffs both Earth DMG and DEF. |
Ophelia (5★ Ice Fighter) | Her passive Amethyst Witch boosts her Crit Rate. Ultimate applies Ice Affliction. When paired with Narae they become one of the strongest teams. | |
Penny (5★ Lightning Fighter) | Best Lightning DPS available. Coin Special Skill can easily defeat groups of enemies efficiently. Ultimate applies Lightning Affliction. | |
Sangun (5★ Wind Fighter) | Counterattack passive boosts hit count and attack speed; pull mechanics on Special and Switch Skills make him reliable in wave content. | |
| A | Francis (4★ Earth Support) | Heals and buffs ATK on Tag-Out; passive auto-heal safety net keeps the team alive; applies Earth Affliction for extra team utility. |
Yeonhwa (4★ Lightning Assassin) | Her Clone mirrors actions for increased hit damage and off-field follow-up crits. When using Special Skill, she can dodge enemies. | |
Cloud (4★ Ice Destroyer) | Fills Stagger Gauge safely from far away; Glacier Zone applies Ice Affliction, best Destroyer option for Ice team compositions. | |
Verna (4★ Fire Fighter) | Combo-triggered passive deals good sustained damage, applies Fire Affliction, can be a reliable filler in Fire team compositions. | |
Angel (4★ Fire Assassin) | Passive off-field coordinated attacks apply Fire Affliction via her mechanic, can be less reliable against scattered enemies. | |
Benjamin (4★ Lightning Assassin) | Lightning Clone burst has a very high damage. Nightmare Sprint can buff his special skill and clones but resets if hit within 3 seconds. | |
Bonnie (4★ Wind Support) | AoE Wind damage with Crit Rate self-buff, applies Wind Affliction but brings less overall value than Jiwon in Wind team compositions. | |
Ellie (4★ Earth Destroyer) | Drops snacks and when picked up provide self-sustain and buffs. Pillow Pow! Hits hard when fully built up, continues stacking passively off-field. | |
| B | Reina (4★ Lightning Destroyer) | A tanky Destroyer that reduces incoming damage. Neutralization DMG scales with HP so requires a full defensive build to perform well. |
Sera (4★ Ice Fighter) | Freeze and Ice Affliction with Crit DMG bonus against afflicted targets. Laxima and Arkarion Energy mechanic is inconsistent without heavily invested resources. | |
Leeho (4★ Fire Assassin) | Prey Mark shreds Fire RES into Tiger Hunter form for enhanced attacks, his damage sequence setup is too slow for competitive content. | |
| C | Daisy (4★ Earth Support) | Can maintain HP of allies but no buffs, outclassed by Francis in every team situation that needs a Support and Healer slot. |
Tier Explanations
S+ Tier - The best characters in the game as of now. These characters perform well in every content with minimal investment and are almost always worth building regardless of your team compositions.
S Tier - Strong and reliable picks that hold up in most situations. They need a bit more investment or the right teammates to be strong, but they're never a bad choice.
A Tier - Solid characters with clear strengths, but they require specific team setups, and have weaknesses, or get outperformed by higher tier options.
B Tier - Situational characters that can work but requires heavy investment or a very specific and particular build to justify their slot. There are usually better alternatives available.
C Tier - The weakest in the current meta. Not usually recommended for resource investment as they are outclassed by better alternatives and options.

Things to Keep in Mind
Tier lists are not mandatory, a well-built B tier character can still carry you throughout the game. 5-star characters are evaluated at base Awakening 0, and 4-star characters at Awakening 6, so that means higher Awakening levels can make a character stronger or more useful, you can top-up at Lootbar to get more awakening of your favorite characters.
New banners and patches can always change the meta, so tier placements can change as the game updates. And some characters perform better in specific content like a character that struggles in Legendary Conquest may be excellent in Dimensional Rift, it always depends on the situations like the Elemental Resistance and Weakness of the enemies.
Dimensional Rift
Legendary Conquest
