Soul Land: New World Initial Summon Tier List & Roster Guide

When pulling from the initial 18-character pool in Soul Land: New World, prioritize securing one primary damage carry—such as Chen Xin (Seven Kill Sword), Fire Phoenix, or Hammer Tang San—and concentrate your early upgrade materials strictly on that unit. Spreading resources across multiple characters early on will slow down your overall progression.

Character Roles in the Launch Pool

The launch pool consists of 18 heroes serving specialized combat functions. Establishing a strong team requires pairing a high-damage carry with supporting units that soften enemy defenses or group targets.

Character / Spirit	Primary Role	Key Combat Function	Resource Priority
Chen Xin (Seven Kill Sword)	Physical DPS	High single-target burst and mob clearing	Primary (Full Investment)
Fire Phoenix	AoE DPS	Area-of-effect wave clearing and farming	Primary (Full Investment)
Hammer Tang San	Hybrid DPS	Balanced kit scaling with critical hit and attack power	Primary (Full Investment)
Lightning Dragon	Burst DPS	Target damage that benefits from grouped enemies	Secondary Carry
Chrysanthemum	Support / Debuffer	Applies resistance debuffs to weaken targets	Utility (Base Investment)
Demon Spider	Support / Debuffer	Provides crowd control and defensive reduction	Utility (Base Investment)

High-Damage Carries

Chen Xin (Seven Kill Sword): Functions as a top-tier physical damage dealer capable of eliminating single targets quickly while maintaining enough area damage to handle general questing.
Fire Phoenix: Focuses on sweeping area-of-effect attacks, making this unit the most efficient choice for clearing dense waves of weaker enemies during routine farming.
Hammer Tang San: Offers high base stats and flexible scaling. Build him with gear focused on critical hit rate and raw attack power to serve as a durable anchor for mid-game content.

Support and Utility Units

Chrysanthemum & Demon Spider: These units apply debuffs that strip enemy defenses. While their raw damage output is lower, their resistance reduction allows your primary carry to finish tough encounters much faster.
Lightning Dragon: Delivers heavy focused damage, but requires squad mates with crowd control capabilities to keep enemies pinned in place.

Step-by-Step Launch Team Strategy

Lock in One Main Carry: Stop rolling for damage dealers once you obtain Chen Xin, Fire Phoenix, or Hammer Tang San.
Assign Utility Supports: Slot units like Chrysanthemum or Demon Spider into your secondary slots to amplify your carry's damage through defense debuffs.
Funnel All Initial Upgrades: Invest your early leveling materials, weapons, and gear exclusively into your primary carry until you hit major level caps.
Manage Summoning Currency: Avoid spending extra currency on random pulls unless you are close to a guaranteed pity threshold. Save spare resources until high-tier carry upgrades demand them.
