This tier list is not final and is subject to change as Destiny Rising evolves and players discover more combos and uses for the characters. Even if you get a C-tier character, you can still make good use of them, especially if you master their gameplay.
S-tier: Best Destiny Rising Characters
Here is the list of the best Destiny Rising characters in the post-launch meta.
Tan-2
- Type: Solar
- Rarity: 5
- Weapons: Scout Rifle, Sniper Rifle
Tan-2 is a true powerhouse. Their single-target damage output is the best in the game, and they also provide a team-wide damage boost, making them a highly desired pick in any group. The main weakness, of course, is the lack of AoE abilities.
You need to be precise with your aim to maximize Tan-2’s potential. This skill is especially crucial in PvP, while in PvE landing hits is much easier.
Wolf
- Type: Solar
- Rarity: 4
- Weapons: Auto Rifle, Grenade Launcher
Wolf excels at AoE damage and movement speed, while also having solid single-target damage. These strengths make them effective in both PvE and PvP. As a starter character, Wolf is easy to obtain and upgrade, and since they are required for many quests, most players will naturally develop Wolf along the way.
Jolder
- Type: Viod
- Rarity: 5
- Weapons: Submachine Gun, Sword
Jolder truly has it all. This character is fast, durable, and dishes out high damage on top of that. In PvP, Jolder becomes incredibly hard to kill when paired with a skilled support. In PvE, they don’t even need a support if Rage stacks from Thorns passive are managed correctly.
Gwynn
- Type: Void
- Rarity: 5
- Weapons: Sidearm, Shotgun
Gwynn excels at dealing damage in almost any scenario, which is their biggest strength. This character has a damage multiplier and access to two different weapon styles, allowing flexibility depending on the situation. Gwynn performs better in PvP, while in PvE their main weakness is the lack of self-healing.
A-tier: Top Destiny Rising characters
Here is the list of very strong Destiny Rising characters that might be on top if not for the existence of the S-tier heroes.
Estela
- Type: Solar
- Rarity: 5
- Weapons: Pulse Rifle, Machine Gun
Estela has the strongest Super in the game, and that fact is hard to ignore. While it’s their greatest strength, it’s also their biggest weakness. Most of her gameplay revolves around the Super, and without it she struggles to make much impact, often leaving you waiting for its cooldown.
Umeko
- Type: Void
- Rarity: 4
- Weapons: Scout Rifle, Sniper Rifle
Umeko has a lot of potential, with the ability to handle many tasks effectively: dealing damage, debuffing enemies, and moving quickly. The best part is the low cooldowns on their abilities, but they require precise execution. This makes Umeko powerful in the right hands, though not the easiest character to master.
Ning Fei
- Type: Arc
- Rarity: 5
- Weapons: Submachine Gun, Auto Crossbow
Ning Fei’s main strength is AoE damage, though it isn’t the best in the game right now. However, the character makes up for it with fast movement and clone abilities that can either tank or disorient enemies, making Ning Fei especially tricky to deal with in PvP.
B-tier: Good Destiny Rising characters
B-tier characters are still quite good, and you can’t call them hopeless, especially if you master their gameplay properly.
Attal
- Type: Arc
- Rarity: 4
- Weapons: Hand Cannon, Linear Fusion Rifle
Xuan Wei
- Type: Arc
- Rarity: 4
- Weapons: Fusion Rifle, Shotgun
Kabr
- Type: Arc
- Rarity: 4
- Weapons: Pulse Rifle, Machine Gun
C-tier: Struggling Destiny Rising characters
C-tier characters are currently missing something in their design, or players haven’t yet figured out the proper playstyle for them.
Ikora
- Type: Void
- Rarity: 4
- Weapons: Light Grenade Launcher, Rocket Launcher
Finnala
- Type: Solar
- Rarity: 4
- Weapons: Auto Rifle, Sword
