The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Half-Anniversary Tier List & Best Pulls

For the half-anniversary event in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, your primary pull and build priority is the dual-core pairing of Meliodas and Ban. These two heroes sit at T0 because Ban applies defense shred, stat theft, and vulnerability zones that directly scale Meliodas’s burst damage. Secure base copies of both characters before targeting specific duplicate breakpoints or pulling specialized elemental supports.

Half-Anniversary Character Tier List

The half-anniversary meta prioritizes rapid debuffing, shared offensive windows, and burst rotations over single hyper-carries who demand excessive field time.

Meliodas and Ban anchor current raid clears and domain farming. Merlin, Escanor, and Lancelot offer strong utility or carry damage in specific elemental stages, but require significantly more field time or specialized gear to match the output of the Ban-Meliodas core.

Ban and Meliodas Skill Rotation

Ban resolves Meliodas’s narrow frontal attack hitbox by clustering scattered targets and removing enemy defenses before Meliodas enters the field. Follow this combat sequence against elite enemies and raid bosses:

1. Initiate with Ban: Use Ban’s crowd control skills to gather mobs or pull the boss into position.
2. Apply Vulnerability: Trigger Ban’s stat-theft and physical defense debuffs to generate an off-field vulnerability zone.
3. Tag to Meliodas: Switch to Meliodas immediately while the debuff window is active.
4. Execute Burst: Cast Meliodas's high-cost abilities and ultimate directly into the compromised defenses to deplete the stagger gauge and trigger phase transitions.

Duplicate and Constellation Investment Breakpoints

Duplicate milestones unlock distinct functional breakpoints rather than just baseline stat increases. Summons should be stopped at specific levels depending on account budget:

• Base Copy (C0): Complete functional kit. F2P players should stop here once both Ban and Meliodas are secured.
• First Duplicate (C1): Ban gains longer debuff uptime and reduced cooldowns, significantly smoothing rotation loops.
• Second Duplicate (C2): The primary stopping point for competitive damage. Meliodas gains burst amplification multipliers that help beat tight boss enrage timers.
• Max Duplicates (C6): Intended for leaderboard competition. The extreme resource cost offers poor return compared to diversifying your roster with elemental enablers.

Half-Anniversary Team Template

A balanced team requires rotation initiation, elemental preparation, burst execution, and adequate survivability:

• Main Burst DPS: Meliodas
• Sub-DPS / Debuff: Ban
• Utility / Elemental Driver: Merlin
• Sustain / Shield: Elizabeth or Elaine

In standard encounters, open with Merlin to apply elemental effects and build ultimate charge. Rotate into Ban to apply defense shred as the enemy stagger gauge drops, then swap into Meliodas to break the shield and execute. For time-attack challenges where incoming damage is negligible, replace the healer with an additional offensive buffer or elemental sub-DPS to front-load all damage into the first ten seconds.

Summoning and Reroll Action Plan

When starting a new account or managing limited currency during the event, follow these guidelines:

1. Reroll Targets: Restart until your initial pulls yield either Meliodas or Ban. Starting with one half of the pair lets you focus standard currency or selectors on completing the duo.
2. Roster Completion Over Dupes: Do not pull for C1 or C2 until you own base copies of both Ban and Meliodas.
3. Branching Out: After securing the core duo at C0, allocate extra summons toward flexible support units like Merlin rather than low-probability duplicate hunting on carry banners.
