FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Best Early Game Units: Who to Invest In First​

FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Artwork 1

Early game in FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle is all about investing your scarce materials into a small core of S‑tier carries and supports rather than leveling everything you pull. The units below are consistently recommended across tier lists and beginner content as safe, high‑value early investments.​​

Golden rule: prioritize high-rarity S-tier units

Beginner guides are clear: train the highest, not the lowest. S‑rank heroes have the best attack, defence, and levelling power, while B/C tier units are only really useful at the very start.​

Early-game investment principles

PrincipleWhat to doWhy it matters
Focus on 3–5 core unitsBuild one or two main DPS, one tank, one healer/support.Training materials are rare; spreading them ruins progression.​
Prefer S‑tier URsUse tier lists to pick S‑rank units over A/B tiers.S‑rankers dominate both early and late game.​
Avoid levelling C/B units long-termUse them only as temporary fillers.B rank is “not highly recommended” beyond early stages.​

Core references: LDPlayer beginner guide (“train the highest, not the lowest”) and its December tier list (“S rank… top performers; B rank… only good at the beginning”).​

Best early-game DPS carries

These characters are repeatedly highlighted as top damage dealers and “build first” options for early accounts.​​

UnitWhy they are ideal early carries
Natsu [Dragon Force]S‑tier fire DPS with huge AoE and Burn; melts story waves and bosses, a frequent reroll and “chase” recommendation.​​
Gray [Devil Slayer]“Cream of the crop” DPS with excellent scaling and boss damage; sits in the very top group in multiple lists.​​
Lucy [Leo Form]Highest normal‑attack DPS plus Attack/Crit buffs for the whole team; top of SS/S tier in many rankings.​​
Erza [Heaven’s Wheel Armour]Functions as both tank and DPS; several creators say she’s so strong you “don’t need Makarov” if you have her.​​
Laxus DreyarStrong single‑target damage for bosses; recommended as a reroll target and early carry in multiple videos.​​

MuMuPlayer’s tier list groups Natsu DF, both Erzas, Gray Devil Slayer, Laxus and Lucy Leo in S tier as “outstanding damage” units that are safe long‑term investments. Pro Game Guides’ release tier list and several early videos echo that these are the characters “you should build first.”​​

Best early-game tanks and supports

Survivability and buffs matter even in early game, so pairing your carry with a good tank and healer/support is crucial.​

RoleUnitWhy to invest early
TankErza [Heaven’s Wheel Armour]Considered the best tank/DPS hybrid; taunt plus huge defence boost and massive crit potential.​​
TankMakarov DreyarInvincibility + full‑team taunt ultimate; described as a “defence machine” and top frontline option.​​
Healer/supportWendy MarvellUniversally praised as best healer/support: frequent team heals plus Attack/Crit/ult‑charge buffs.​​
Support DPSIrene BelserionEarly meta MVP in community posts; high damage and powerful debuffs (crit‑defence shred) for bosses.​​
Hybrid supportJuvia (UR)Offers damage and sustain; frequently cited as “elite” and part of high‑rank cores.​​

A Reddit top‑50 Arena player mentions “Juvia, Wendy and HW Erza are my core” and calls Irene’s skill “beyond broken,” showing how strong these units feel even early in the game.​

Practical early-game target list

If you are starting or rerolling, the consensus from tier lists and early guides is to aim for a core that looks something like this:​​

  • 1–2 main DPS from: Natsu [Dragon Force], Gray [Devil Slayer], Lucy [Leo Form], Erza [Heaven’s Wheel].
  • 1 tank from: Erza [Heaven’s Wheel], Makarov.
  • 1 healer/support from: Wendy (top priority), Juvia, Irene (as offensive support).
