Tier List
Another Eden Begins character tier list 2026: S-tier picks like Suzette and Bertrand, A-tier niches and early-game rankings for every hero and the Thillelille & Tiramisu DLC pack.
Introduction
The character tier list ranks all 19 playable heroes in Another Eden Begins — plus the Thillelille & Tiramisu DLC pack — by their value across the game's three eras: early-game accessibility, boss damage, support utility and New Game+ staying power. Because the game launched on 2026-09-17 and the community is still finalizing its first-week meta, the tier list is a living document updated as players push deeper into the story and the developers ship balance patches. It answers the two questions every party builder asks: which heroes deserve your early investment, and which ones remain strong enough to carry into the 10+ New Game+ ending routes.
Launch-Week Tier Overview
| Tier | Heroes | Justification | Game Phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Suzette, Bertrand, Yuna, Gariyu | Top damage, tanking and control value | Endgame & NG+ |
| A | Amy, Anabel, Shanie, Riica | Reliable niche fillers, flexible kits | Mid to late game |
| B | Helena, Cetie, Melina, Cyrus | Situational; shine in specific eras or fights | Era-specific content |
| C | Slower starters, quest-gated picks | Usable early, pay off with kinship quests | Early game |
| DLC | Thillelille & Tiramisu | Premium additions evaluated for endgame value | Endgame pickups |

Core Mechanics
Tier rankings in Another Eden Begins are driven by a combination of raw damage output, survivability, support utility and era adaptability. Because command battles reward the attacker-supporter-healer triangle, a hero's tier reflects not just their own numbers but how well they slot into the party roles that make Another Force chains devastating. Light and shadow growth further differentiates heroes — characters with reliable light/shadow paths become stronger investments for New Game+, where keeping strength matters more than fresh-start picks. The tier list separates early-game value (how quickly a character contributes to a fresh party) from endgame value (how well they perform against final bosses and in the 10+ endings), because a hero can be an early-game A-tier carry yet fall off against late-game damage checks.
Advantages
A well-maintained tier list saves players from wasting resources on heroes that underperform late. Instead of leveling every recruit evenly, you focus light and shadow investment on the S-tier core that will carry you through the final boss and into New Game+. The tier list also demystifies party composition: seeing that Suzette and Yuna fill different roles lets you build a balanced attacker-supporter-healer trio instead of stacking damage and dying to enemy AoE. For DLC buyers, the tier list evaluates whether Thillelille and Tiramisu justify their premium price compared to the free 19-hero roster, helping you decide between the Character Pack Vol. 1 and the Season Pass.
Challenges
The tier list is inherently volatile at launch. With only first-week community data, several placements are provisional and may change after the first balance patch. The game explicitly warns that launch-week tier lists are early impressions — a 1290-hour player's comment about '12 chapters being 42% progress' is a single-source community estimate, not an official chapter count. Simplified Chinese localization errors (two skills translated to the same 'Charging' term, and the Yaksha enemy rendered as 'Actor') mean players using the Chinese build may judge skills incorrectly, which can skew perceived tier value. Always cross-check tier placements against the English or Japanese skill descriptions.

Quick Tips
Match characters to the era you are farming. A hero that crushes Present-era bandits may struggle in the Future's mechanical city, so keep a flexible A-tier squad alongside your S-tier core for era rotation. The tier list notes era adaptability precisely so you can swap smartly instead of forcing the same five heroes everywhere.
Do not invest in a hero just because they are S-tier if you already own that role covered. Two attackers without a healer will lose to bosses that outlast your damage. Build the role triangle first — one attacker, one healer, one supporter — then rank the remaining slots by tier.
The 19-hero roster is fully deterministically earnable, so the tier list is about investment order rather than who to pull; there is no gacha luck to chase and no reason to reroll at launch. Farm kinship quests for the characters you plan to commit to, because light and shadow growth from quests directly powers their New Game+ staying power. Treat the S-tier rank as a priority queue: spend early XP scrolls and light or shadow resources on the top pick for the role you lack, and remember that a hero rated A-tier in the Present era can outclass an S-tier pick once you shift into Future timelines.
