Best Waifus To Build First In Dragon Traveler (From A Gameplay Perspective)​​

Dragon Traveler Artwork 4

For pure gameplay, the best waifus to build first in Dragon Traveler are the ones that hard‑carry story, AFK, bosses, and PvP with minimal babysitting. The names below show up consistently at the top of multiple early tier lists and recommended team comps.​​

Top waifus to prioritise

These are the women you build first if you own them, before spreading resources across the wider harem.

S‑tier waifus (must‑build if owned)

WaifuClass / roleWhy she’s top‑tier for gameplay
IfritMarksman DPSOne of the strongest AoE carries at launch; her projectile ultimate and high crit let her erase AFK waves and Guild fights while self‑healing enough to stay alive. ​​
AthenaGuard tankWidely regarded as the best tank: AoE taunt, huge shields, life‑link and lifesteal counters make her core to almost every serious story, boss, and PvP team. ​​
ScheherazadePriest healerPremier healer with strong sustain and buffs; essential for long boss fights, towers, and Guild content, and the default “best waifu support” to build. ​​
PoseidonMage control / AoEHigh burst plus knockback, Chill, and immunity windows; stellar at deleting clumped stages and disrupting enemy teams in Arena and Guild War. 
Huginn & MuninnMarksman DPSBouncing basics, high crit and lifesteal turn her into a top AFK farmer and long‑fight DPS, especially in Sanctum and sustained comps. 

All of these waifus are rated in the top tier (T0/T0.5) across launch‑window lists and are mainstays of meta story, AFK, and PvP line‑ups.

High‑priority “next wave” waifus

WaifuClass / roleGameplay value
TitaniaPriestBest replacement if you lack Scheherazade; great heals plus dispel, making her a must‑build SR waifu support. 
GulveigMageIndependent burst mage with heal‑block that fits into almost any comp and shines in bosses with sustain. 
MarilithWarrior bruiserSelf‑healing bruiser who spikes damage at low HP, ideal for bossing and PvP alongside Athena. ​​
OberonGuardFree SR tank waifu‑adjacent unit; high dodge and shielding make her an excellent early frontline until Athena is built. 

These waifus are often rated T0.5–T1 and are recommended as early investments once your absolute top picks are online.

Best waifus by game mode

Different modes emphasise different strengths, but several waifus are “omni‑meta” and worth building regardless of focus.

ModeBest waifus to focusReason
Story & AFKIfrit, Huginn & Muninn, Poseidon, Athena, Scheherazade/TitaniaFast AoE clear plus a real tank and healer; these units anchor top story and farming teams. 
Bossing / raidsHades (not a waifu but meta), Ifrit, Gulveig, Marilith, ScheherazadeHigh single‑target damage and sustain for long fights. 
Arena / Guild WarAthena, Poseidon, Ifrit, Scheherazade, Marilith, FenrirMix of control, burst, and sustain that dominates current PvP meta cores. 

Even if you care mainly about waifu collecting, building the women listed above first gives you the strongest possible account foundation with minimal regrets.
