Best DPS Characters in Another Eden
Another Eden has a large cast of strong damage dealers, and the absolute “best” options change with each update, but a small group consistently sits at the top of modern tier lists and endgame discussions. Rather than listing every S‑tier unit, this overview highlights standout DPS by element and shows where to check for up‑to‑date rankings.
Why “best DPS” is always moving
Community tier lists and creator rankings are updated monthly because new ES/Alter/SA versions keep shifting the meta. Different DPS also shine in different zones and team shells, so a game‑changer in one element can be “only good” in another setup.

Commonly cited top DPS examples (2024–2025 meta)
Across multiple sources, certain names appear repeatedly in S‑tier or “broken” discussions.
- Earth / Blunt: Id, Necoco, Nagi ES, Chiyo AS – huge multipliers plus strong zone or follow‑up mechanics; Id in particular is built as a primary blunt DPS for modern teams.
- Fire: Hardy AS, Dewey Alter, Thillelille AS, Isuka ES/Alter – extremely high burst, strong self‑buffs, and synergy with Fire or Slash/Crystal zones.
- Wind: Suzette Alter/ACAS, Tsukiha ES, Melissa, Mistrare AS – frequently rated among the best general DPS in the game for their zones, self‑setup, and enormous multipliers.
- Water: Flammelapis, Myrus AS, Hismena AS, Yukino – powerful single‑target and AoE magic or physical damage, often combined with utility like debuffs or buffs.
- Shade / Crystal: Melissa, Thillelille AS, Curio, Isuka Alter – double‑element kits that slot into multiple zones and remain relevant across many team archetypes.

How to pick DPS for your account
Because Another Eden is zone‑driven, “best DPS” for you is usually “best DPS that matches your strongest zone setter and team shell”. To choose targets:
- Start from your zones: if you have a strong Earth/Blunt zone, prioritise top Earth/Blunt DPS like Id or Nagi ES; for Wind zone, gravitate toward Suzette Alter, Melissa, or Tsukiha ES.
- Cross‑check names that appear in multiple S‑tier lists and creator videos rather than relying on a single ranking, since some sites update slower than others.
- Consider future‑proofing: units flagged as “game‑breakers” or “team‑agnostic” (for example, Melissa, Flammelapis, some Alter/ES versions) tend to stay strong across many patches.
In practice, building around 2–3 of these top DPS that fit your zones and filling the rest of the team with supports and sustain will give you a roster capable of handling essentially all current endgame content.
