Guardian Tales Best Characters: Current meta.

Guardian Tales Logo Poster

As of May 2025, the Guardian Tales meta is dominated by a handful of truly outstanding heroes. In the ultra-competitive PVE environment, Dark Magician Beth and God of Harvest Kamael continue to reign supreme as the game’s only SS-tier characters, excelling in both raw damage and utility. Just below them, the S-tier lineup, including Baby Dokkaebi Eunha, Future Princess, Mecha Warrior Oghma, Ice Witch Lupina, and Exorcist Miya, offers powerhouse options for specialized content, from story mode to raids. Meanwhile, rising stars like Archangel Gabriel and Divine Beast of Harvest Mayreel are carving out roles in both PvE and PvP, thanks to their versatile kits.

Top SS-Tier Picks

SS-tier characters are universally agreed to be the best in practically every game mode.

  • Dark Magician Beth: Beth’s single-target burst and stun capabilities make her invaluable for high-level bosses and arena matchups.
  • God of Harvest Kamael: Kamael’s dragon-transform ability and massive AoE damage cement her status as a top‐damage dealer in both story and endgame content.

Essential S-Tier Meta Heroes

Right below SS-tier, the S-tier roster is packed with specialist heroes who excel under the right circumstances:

  • Baby Dokkaebi Eunha: A ranged attacker whose high burst damage and speed make her a go-to choice for clearing waves quickly.
  • Future Princess: Her skill to buff allies and unleash powerful ranged strikes secures her spot in top colosseum and raid teams.
  • Mecha Warrior Oghma: Offers both shield support and steady DPS, providing durability alongside respectable damage.
  • Ice Witch Lupina: Known for her crowd-control freeze effects, she shines in modes where enemy immobilization is critical.
  • Exorcist Miya: Her lifesteal and multi‐hit skills make her a self-sufficient DPS option for sustained fights.

Additional S-tier standouts in niche modes include Archangel Gabriel, a reliable support/DPS hybrid, and Divine Beast of Harvest Mayreel, whose critical buff is invaluable in raid damage compositions.

Versatile A-Tier Understudies

While not quite on par with S-tier, these A-tier heroes remain excellent pulls for players who want solid performance without the investment many SS- or S-tier picks demand:

  • Future Knight: High agility and crowd control grant him strong utility in PvE clearing.
  • Gourry: A reliable melee DPS who also brings occasional utility, making him a budget-friendly workhorse.
  • Garam: Her multi-hit kit and AoE damage allow her to fit into beginner and mid-game teams effortlessly.
