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

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

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.
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.
