Lost Sword's global launch hasn't been free of controversy, but the new gacha does offer a good variety of characters for players to obtain.
Characters in the game have different roles, and your priority should be building a balanced roster. However, some characters, irrespective of their assigned roles, are simply better. They can either fit into different roles or are simply stronger. Your in-game resources are limited, so you want to start as strong as possible.
Let's look at how the tier list currently looks right after the global launch.

Complete Lost Sword tier list
I have used four different tiers to classify the characters in Lost Sword. So far, the S-tier and A-tier characters are powerful, and you should put all your efforts into building them up first.
- S-tier characters are the best units currently available in the game, and almost all can fit multiple roles.
- A-tier characters are your next best bet when it comes to squad building.
- B-tier characters are beginner choices at best, and your goal should be replacing them as you get better units.
- C-tier characters are average at best, and you should replace them immediately.
Before we dive deeper into the tier list, there are more factors to consider.
- I have compounded the tier lists by combining the modes. Some characters will shine better in the PvE mode, while others will perform better in Raids and PvP.
- I have been wholly dedicated to the PvE mode, as there's an essence of P2W about PvP. Unless you're a whale, you should do the same.
S-tier
- Galahad: Best tank and support character in the game, across every mode.
- Lancelot: Another great tank who can double up as a hybrid damage dealer.
- Dian Cecht: Decent hybrid support who also heals as a secondary.
- Tiamat: Best DPS in the game, but struggles slightly in PvP.
- Neo Bedivere: Best support in the game, and offers a good healing option for the team.
- Lisa: A powerful DPS character who relies heavily on her range.
- Kay: Great tank that can also deal with decent damage. Best option for PvP.
- Claire: Best supporter when it comes to PvP.
- Merlin: My main support is slightly low in the PvP. Her ability to freeze opponents is immense.
A-tier
- Erin: An excellent and well-rounded support who is pretty consistent across all game modes.
- Isabel: Like Erin, she is a fantastic support across every game mode.
- Guinevere: Amazing healer with revive who does well in all modes, barring Raids.
- Ria: While Ria is assigned as a support main, she does better as a healer, and more so in PvP.
- Cristina: Good hybrid DPS character in PvE, but lackluster otherwise.
- Ran: Good DPS who is better to use in PvE.
- Vivien: Good magic-based DPS with her main strength being her general attacking prowess.
- Joan: A rare support who is almost C-tier in PvE but very strong elsewhere.
- Tristan: Good support to build if you're focusing on Raids and PvE.
