Welcome to the most comprehensive Silver and Blood tier list available online! As a passionate player who has spent countless hours testing every vassal in various game modes, I’m excited to share my expert analysis of all characters in this gothic strategy RPG. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build your first team or an experienced player optimizing your roster, this guide will help you make informed decisions about which vassals deserve your precious resources.

Quick Overview: Top Characters at a Glance

Understanding Our Tier List Methodology

Before diving into the rankings, it’s crucial to understand how we evaluate each vassal. Our tier list is based on extensive testing across multiple game modes, including Story progression, Boss content (Tomb of the Fallen, Prophecy, Clan Hunt), and PvP battles.

Our Evaluation Criteria:

• Overall Versatility: Performance across different game modes
• Team Synergy: How well they complement other characters
• Resource Efficiency: Return on investment for upgrades
• Meta Relevance: Current effectiveness in the competitive scene
• Ease of Use: Accessibility for both new and experienced players

Characters are ranked based on their performance at optimal builds (Spirit Siphon 7, max skills, best artifacts), but we also consider their progression value for free-to-play players.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is this tier list updated?

I update this Silver and Blood tier list monthly to reflect the latest game balance changes, new character releases, and meta shifts. The most recent update was in June 2026, incorporating changes from version 1.4.0.

Should I only invest in S+ tier characters?

While S+ tier characters offer the best return on investment, don’t neglect solid S and A tier characters. Team composition and synergy often matter more than individual character tiers. A well-built A-tier character can outperform an under-invested S+ character.

What’s the best way to get these top-tier characters?

Focus on saving your summoning currency for limited-time banners featuring S+ tier characters. The guaranteed SSR system (after 150 summons) ensures you’ll eventually get a top-tier character of your choice.

How do I build my team if I don’t have any S+ characters?

Start with accessible characters like Bella (free), Aiona (early-game), and focus on building a balanced team with tank, DPS, and healer roles. Many A-tier characters can carry you through early and mid-game content.

Are these rankings the same for PvP and PvE?

Character performance varies significantly between PvP and PvE content. Some characters excel in one mode but underperform in another. This tier list focuses on overall versatility, but I recommend checking mode-specific rankings for competitive play.

How important are character dupes?

Character dupes (multiple copies) significantly enhance performance through Resonantia Effects. At Spirit Siphon 7 (8 copies), many characters gain game-changing abilities that can shift their tier placement.

What’s the most underrated character in this tier list?

Spectral Gilrain is often underestimated but can be incredibly effective in PvP and skirmishes when built correctly. His Shadowy Apparition mechanic and high mobility make him a threat when properly supported.

Conclusion

Building the perfect team in Silver and Blood requires understanding both individual character strengths and team synergies. While this tier list provides a solid foundation for your investment decisions, remember that the game rewards strategic thinking and proper team building over simply collecting the highest-tier characters.

Focus on building a balanced team that covers essential roles (tank, DPS, healer/support), and don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations. The meta continues to evolve with each update, so stay flexible and adapt your strategies accordingly.
