FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Best DPS Characters: Top Damage Dealers for All Content​

FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Artwork 8

Some UR wizards in FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle clearly outperform others when it comes to raw damage in story, bosses, and Arena. This guide highlights the best DPS characters to build first, based on multiple tier lists and early meta impressions.​

S+ tier DPS (must‑build carries)

These units consistently sit at the top of UR tier lists and video rankings for overall damage output.​

RankCharacterWhy they are top DPS
S+Lucy [Leo Form]Highest normal attack DPS in the game, huge AoE ultimate, and team‑wide Attack/Crit buffs while inflicting Darkness to disable enemies.​​
S+Natsu [Dragon Force]Massive AoE fire damage with long‑lasting Burn, scaling extra damage against burned enemies; excellent for waves and bosses.​​
S+Gray [Devil Slayer]High sustained damage with powerful freeze and defence‑shred effects, turning boss fights into long, controlled nukes.​​
S+Erza [Heaven’s Wheel Armour]Hybrid tank‑DPS whose fast normal attacks and crit‑based skills can one‑shot bosses; deals massive damage while front‑lining.​​

Multiple sources describe Lucy (Leo) as “melee powerhouse who redefines damage per second,” Natsu DF as a “barbecue gone wild” AoE nuker, Gray DS as a “freeze, smack, repeat” boss melter, and Erza HW as a “perfect mix of durability and devastation.”​​

Key references:

S tier DPS (excellent main or off‑carries)

These wizards are still top‑tier damage dealers, slightly behind the absolute best, but excellent as main carries or second DPS.​​

RankCharacterDPS profile
SLaxus DreyarHigh single‑target DPS with Crit synergies and Paralysis; excels as a boss killer in crit‑focused teams.
SGildarts CliveHeavy burst damage, great at deleting priority targets and contributing huge chunks in boss fights.
SIrene BelserionStrong sustained damage with crit‑defence shred, highly valued in long PvE encounters.​​
SJuvia (incl. limited variants)Mix of AoE damage and utility; holiday/limited Juvia in particular is considered a very strong DPS.​​
SBase Natsu Dragneel (UR)Solid melee DPS with crit‑boosting skills and AoE ultimate; weaker than DF version but still reliable.
SBase Erza Scarlet (UR)Versatile fighter with strong damage across many modes, good fallback main carry if you lack HW form.

Community tier lists and videos regularly place Laxus, Gildarts, Irene and base Natsu/Erza in S tier for their damage, especially in boss content.​

Additional sources:

A tier DPS (strong but replaceable)

A‑tier damage dealers can comfortably carry early and mid‑game, but are usually replaced by S+/S units later.

RankCharacterWhen to use
AGray Fullbuster (UR)Good damage and freeze utility; strong early/mid‑game carry until you get Gray DS.
AGajeel RedfoxSolid melee DPS with good scaling; works well in physical‑centric comps.
AMirajane StraussHybrid DPS with solid damage and some utility; shines more with correct team support or holiday variants.​​
AJellal FernandesAoE‑heavy DPS/crowd‑control, ideal for clearing waves and general PvE.
AMystoganStrong damage plus disruption; good in many teams but overshadowed by top S+ carries.​​

These A‑tier DPS units are still worth investing in if they are your best options, especially on newer or F2P accounts, but should eventually give way to Lucy Leo, Natsu DF, Gray DS, or Erza HW once you have them built.​​

How to choose and build your DPS

To pick the best DPS for your account:

  • Use one S+ unit as your primary carry (Lucy Leo, Natsu DF, Gray DS or Erza HW) and supplement them with one or two S‑tier DPS from your roster.​
  • Prioritise levelling, skills, gear and bonds on these carries first; damage scales extremely well with investment in this game.
  • Match your main DPS element to stage weaknesses (Red/Green/Yellow/Blue) for the 20% damage bonus and avoid hitting into elemental resistance.
