ALLfiring launches with a surprisingly balanced roster, but a few Familiars clearly stand above the rest during early progression. Some units dominate because of raw damage, while others earn their place through flexibility, elemental synergy, or low investment requirements.
This guide breaks down every launch character in proper detail, including their strengths, weaknesses, ideal teammates, and whether they are actually worth building long-term.
ALLfiring Tier List – Best Characters Guide & Teams Build
T0 Characters
Rozeul
Element: Thunder
Role: Main DPS
Rarity: 6★
Rozeul is the definition of a “safe investment” character. Even without perfect gear or optimized teams, he performs at a level most launch DPS units struggle to reach. His kit is incredibly consistent, combining fast AoE clearing with excellent single-target damage, which makes him useful in almost every type of content.
What really pushes Rozeul into T0 is how little setup he actually needs. Many launch DPS units rely on elemental support chains or weapon-specific scaling before they feel strong. Rozeul simply works right away. New players can build him early and immediately feel the power spike.
Another reason CN players rate him so highly is his flexibility. He fits into mono-Thunder teams, hybrid setups, boss compositions, and even budget lineups without losing effectiveness. That kind of universal value is extremely rare at launch.
Sion
Element: Wind
Role: Sub DPS / Support
Rarity: 6★
Availability: Free
Sion is easily the biggest surprise of the launch roster because free characters are usually mediocre in gacha games. Instead, ALLfiring gives players one of the strongest support units immediately after the tutorial.
Her damage contribution is far higher than most “support” characters, and she provides constant pressure during fights without needing massive investment. Sion’s biggest strength is consistency. She always feels useful regardless of the team around her.
She also pairs perfectly with Rozeul because her Wind utility helps maintain combat flow while Rozeul focuses on burst windows. CN players often describe her as the “glue” unit of launch teams because she makes almost every composition smoother.
The best part is that she performs well even at low investment. While other characters need signature weapons or advanced inscriptions, Sion already feels complete early on.
T1 Characters
Ilscha
Element: Ice
Role: Burst DPS
Rarity: 6★
Availability: Limited Banner
Ilscha is the most controversial unit at launch because her ranking depends heavily on how much you are willing to invest. At base level, she performs like a strong but fair T1 DPS. However, once paired with her signature weapon and a proper Ice setup, her damage skyrockets into near-T0 territory.
The problem is accessibility.
F2P players may struggle to fully unlock her potential because she wants dedicated teammates, weapon investment, and resource priority. That makes her far more expensive than Rozeul, who performs amazingly with minimal setup.
Still, players who enjoy Ice-focused teams will probably love Ilscha. Her burst windows are flashy, satisfying, and capable of deleting enemies extremely quickly when optimized correctly.
Felgia
Element: Wind
Role: Sustained DPS
Rarity: 6★
Felgia is one of the smoothest characters to play in ALLfiring. Her kit focuses less on explosive burst damage and more on maintaining constant offensive pressure throughout longer fights.
What makes Felgia valuable is her synergy with Sion. Together, they create a very comfortable dual-Wind setup that feels fast, safe, and reliable during progression. She also benefits heavily from sustained combat scenarios where enemies survive longer than a single rotation.
Unlike Ilscha, Felgia does not require expensive setup to feel good. She scales steadily and remains reliable even with average gear.
She may not completely dominate the meta, but she is one of the safest long-term DPS investments outside of Rozeul.
Kirika
Element: Fire
Role: DPS
Rarity: 6★
Kirika exists mainly to provide reliable Fire-element coverage, but she does that role extremely well. She performs best in content where elemental advantages matter heavily, especially against Ice enemies.
Her playstyle feels straightforward compared to more technical units like Ilscha. She focuses on stable damage output and elemental counter pressure rather than complicated combo setups.
One underrated aspect of Kirika is how comfortable she feels in mixed teams. She can easily slide into standard compositions as a flex DPS without disrupting the team structure.
While she may not completely redefine the meta, she is one of the most practical launch units because Fire coverage will always remain useful.
T2 Characters
Nayeh
Element: Ice
Role: Support
Rarity: 5★
Nayeh is the classic “budget support” unit. She fills an important role early on for players who want Ice synergy but do not have access to premium setups.
She performs adequately during launch progression and helps stabilize Ice teams, especially alongside Ilscha. However, most players will eventually replace her once stronger supports release.
That does not make her bad. In fact, she is very resource-efficient early in the game.
Herfwin
Element: Dark
Role: Tank / Bruiser
Rarity: 5★
Herfwin feels designed for players who need survivability more than damage. He can absorb pressure reasonably well and provides decent frontline utility during difficult fights.
The issue is that launch content currently rewards aggressive damage-focused teams more than defensive setups. Because of that, Herfwin often feels slower compared to higher-tier units.
Still, newer players who struggle with survivability may find him surprisingly useful early on.
MC (Main Character)
Element: Adaptive
Role: Flexible Starter
The protagonist is serviceable but clearly designed as a beginner option rather than a long-term meta character.
MC can clear story content without major problems, but once stronger units enter your roster, the gap becomes noticeable. Most players eventually transition the MC into a backup utility slot or stop investing entirely.
Still, the flexibility is nice early on.
Since Sion is free and extremely powerful, every account already starts with one of the strongest support units in the game.
ALLfiring’s launch roster is surprisingly balanced for a new gacha game, but Rozeul and Sion clearly stand above the rest because of their consistency, flexibility, and low investment requirements.
Players who want the safest start should focus on those two first before branching into specialized teams like Ice or mono-Wind setups.
Ilscha may eventually become one of the strongest characters in the game, but right now she is more of a luxury investment than a universal recommendation.
