ALLfiring Character Tier List: Best Combatants to Build First

To clear timed content like Mirror Anomaly trials in ALLfiring, invest early resources into a dedicated primary damage dealer before upgrading defensive units. Strict stage countdowns punish low-damage teams, making burst damage and armor breaking far more valuable than pure healing.

Launch Character Rankings

The launch roster divides cleanly between burst carries, crowd-clearing gunners, and specialized utility units:

S-Tier: Top Damage Priorities

Ilscha (Fire / Energy Rifle)

Ilscha is the strongest single-target boss killer in the launch pool. Her combat loop centers on stacking combustion markers on a target, then triggering her primary skill to detonate the stacks for heavy burst damage. This mechanic allows her to bypass drawn-out armor phases on difficult bosses.

• Limitation: Managing skill cooldowns is mandatory. Ilscha lacks mobility during her downtime, leaving her exposed if you mistime her burst sequence.

Rozeul (Physical / Assault Rifle)

Rozeul is the most dependable carry for general campaign stages and mob-heavy encounters. His kit grants passive critical rate increases as long as he maintains continuous automatic fire on target. With minimal vertical recoil, his assault rifle consistently tracks enemy weak points without complex setup.

• Limitation: Rozeul lacks the instantaneous phase-skipping burst of Ilscha, making him slower against high-health bosses with short vulnerability windows.

A-Tier: Essential Utility and Control

Khronos (Impact / Heavy Cannon)

Khronos is an essential frontline anchor for high-pressure stages, such as Mirror Anomaly Trial 31 Tyrret. His heavy cannon rapidly drains elite enemy stagger bars, knocking aggressive bosses down and creating safe damage windows for your primary carry.

• Role: Keep Khronos leveled enough to absorb incoming hits and break enemy poise, but leave primary weapon damage upgrades to Ilscha or Rozeul.

Suli (Frost / Marksman Rifle)

Suli provides long-range precision and crowd slowing. Her shots apply freeze-slow effects that halt fast rush units, while her high per-shot damage excels against elevated or distant boss weak points.

• Limitation: Her bolt-action fire rate struggles against large enemy swarms. Pair her with an area-of-effect attacker if a stage features dense waves.

B-Tier: Baseline Supports and Resource Traps

Standard healers and light-weapon supports should only receive minimal investment during early progression. While healing prevents early party wipes during open-world exploration, over-leveling healers will cause progression bottlenecks in timed trials.

• Recommended Action: Level baseline supports only to the minimum threshold needed to survive incidental stage damage and unlock their passive stat perks. Once your carries have sufficient gear to eliminate waves quickly, replace pure defensive healers with offensive sub-DPS or stagger units.

Recommended Team Building Rules

Structure your three-character squad around one clear carry rather than running multiple units of the same type:

1. Pick one primary carry: Choose either Ilscha (for single-target bosses) or Rozeul (for standard stages and dense waves).
2. Add a stagger specialist: Slot Khronos to deplete armor bars and prevent your carry from being knocked down by aggressive elites.
3. Cover remaining ranges: Add Suli if you need long-distance precision and slowing control, or a baseline support if the stage features heavy unavoidable damage. Avoid equipping your squad with duplicate weapon types to prevent awkward range gaps.
