If you’ve just started Stella Sora or you’re looking to refine your team for endgame content, this tier list will save you hours of testing. The current meta has settled around a few dominant heroes, but that doesn’t mean lower tiers can’t shine with the right setups.
In this guide, we’ll break down every unit by tier ranking, explaining why they stand where they do based on damage output, team synergy, survivability, and late-game value. Whether you’re pushing campaign stages, farming difficult bosses, or building your first PvP-ready lineup, this list covers which characters are worth your investment — and which ones you can safely skip for now.
Each tier has been carefully placed according to current gameplay balance and community testing as of October 2025, so you’ll know exactly who dominates the meta, who supports the strongest comps, and who still needs a little love (or a buff).
Here’s the full Stella Sora Tier List (October 2025 Meta) based on the image and current community consensus. This ranking reflects both PvE (Campaign & Boss) and PvP performance, weighing consistency, team value, and damage scaling.
Stella Sora Tier List — October 2025 Meta
T0 — Meta Defining (Best in Every Mode)
These units dominate all content — unmatched in consistency, scaling, and team synergy.
Characters:
Gerie — The best universal DPS; extremely strong scaling with Terra setups.
Ridge — Excellent burst unit with sustain and team buff value.
Nazuna — S-tier support hybrid; buffs, healing, and crowd control make her indispensable.
Each of these characters offers raw power and flexibility. Gerie and Ridge carry DPS compositions, while Nazuna elevates nearly every lineup with her team-wide utility.
T1
Strong units with near top-tier performance that can compete with T0 under proper setups.
Characters:
Ann — Consistent damage dealer with strong early game performance.
Minova — Excels at AoE burst; pairs well with Ventus and Lux comps.
Nanoha — One of the best sustain DPS hybrids; strong scaling and team synergy.
Cosette — Reliable single-target DPS, particularly effective in boss fights.
Tilia — Support hybrid who boosts damage and provides defensive stability.
Flora — Powerful fire-element burst unit with great team synergy potential.
Chixia — Offensive support capable of enabling high burst rotations.
Mistique — Utility-heavy dark-element caster with debuffs that synergize in late-game setups.
These characters shine in specialized compositions. They’re not mandatory like T0, but they can outperform them situationally depending on enemy resistances and synergy effects.
T2
Perform well in most content with the right team support. Slightly outclassed by higher tiers but still viable.
Characters:
Jinglin — Balanced damage and utility; easy to build and consistent.
Teresa — Great early-to-mid progression unit; strong survivability.
Canace — Good supportive damage with strong Ventus scaling.
Freesia — Reliable all-rounder; excellent starter support.
Caramel — Decent DPS with some scaling issues but still useful in mixed comps.
These characters are functional, accessible, and easy to use. They just lack the high scaling or utility multipliers that make T1–T0 so dominant.
T3
Can perform well in specific modes or with heavy investment, but generally outclassed.
Characters:
Kasimira — Early-game carry with limited scaling.
Amber — Decent utility but overshadowed by newer releases.
Shimiao — Interesting support mechanics but inconsistent.
Noya — Average overall; serviceable early but falls off late game.
Laru — Situational utility; only fits a few compositions.
Coronis — Specialized unit for certain dungeon setups.
Iris — Low stats and narrow utility window, needs buffs to shine.
Useful for beginners or collectors, but lack the scaling, kit flexibility, or team synergy for endgame meta compositions.
