Best Support Saviors In Star Savior For Every Game Mode

Star Savior Artwork 6

Support Saviors are the backbone of strong teams in Star Savior, keeping your carries alive while boosting damage and controlling fights. This overview focuses on the best healers, buffers, and debuffers to prioritise for story, bosses, and future endgame.

Top-tier universal supports (must-build)

These supports are widely rated SS/S-tier and perform well in nearly every mode.

  • Frey (Supporter / Star): A free launch support who provides single-target and team heals, shields, and cleanses, making her a staple for new and veteran players alike. She boasts very high HP and strong defensive stats, so she stays alive even under heavy pressure.
  • Elisa (Supporter / Chaos): A dedicated late-game healer with powerful single-target heals and revival, excelling in long boss fights where one mistake can wipe the run. Her enormous HP pool means she rarely dies first, keeping sustain online when it matters.
  • Serpent/Serpang (Supporter / Sun): A “God tier” survival support who can nullify incoming skill damage once per ally with her ultimate and automatically heal the lowest-HP teammate. She shines in hard PvE and any content with lethal enemy bursts.

These three form the core of many early and late-game teams; building at least one to high investment is strongly recommended.

Best supports by game mode

Different modes favour slightly different support strengths, but there is heavy overlap.

Story and general PvE:

  • Frey: Shields + heals + cleanse = perfect for learning mechanics and forgiving mistakes.
  • Lily (Caster / Moon): Offers attack debuffs, shields, and balanced damage, helping control enemy waves while protecting allies.
  • Dana (Caster / Star): Provides team-wide attack buffs and enemy speed debuffs while still dealing solid AoE damage.

Bosses and raids:

  • Elisa: Revive and strong single-target heals make her ideal for long, punishing boss fights.
  • Serpent: Skill nullification and auto-heal make her one of the safest picks for blind progression into new bosses.
  • Harley (Defender / Sun, support-tank hybrid): Buffs allies’ defence and speed while tanking, enabling more aggressive DPS builds.

Early/low-investment accounts:

  • Bella (Supporter / Moon, SR): The only SR healer, offering single-target and AoE heals plus random buffs when allies are buffed. She is a key F2P option until you pull Frey or Elisa.​

Notable debuff and utility supports

Some Saviors sit between pure DPS and pure support but bring extremely valuable utility.

  • Smile (Ranger / Star): Technically a DPS, but her fixed defence down and fast turn cycle make her one of the best damage amp supports in the game.
  • Lydia (Ranger / Chaos): Wide-area damage plus enemy effect-resistance reduction, boosting your team’s debuff consistency.
  • Lug (Ranger / Moon): Freezes and defence/speed debuffs, combining crowd control and damage amp for boss fights.
  • Lacey (Ranger / Chaos): Applies an attack debuff via her ultimate and acts as a flexible damage/debuffer hybrid, especially useful early for players short on pure supports.

These units are ideal if you prefer aggressive comps and want your “supports” to contribute significant damage.

Which support to build first?

For most players:

  • Frey should be your first fully built support because she is free, powerful, and used everywhere from story to bosses.
  • Elisa or Serpent become your premium support targets once your account is stable and you can handle harder content.
  • Bella is a crucial early game solution for unlucky accounts, bridging the gap until you secure top-tier SSR supports.​

Use current tier lists and party-composition guides, such as those from LDPlayer, APKFami, and Vortex Gaming, to keep track of support balance changes and any future additions that might shift the meta.
