[Guide] SAO Variant Showdown – How to Reroll and Tier List

With SAO Variant Showdown out now, the time for reroll is here for you to start your journey with your favourite SAO characters.

Luckily the game comes with one of the easiest rerolling options for you. The steps you need to do to reroll is listed down below:

1. When you start up the game, you’ll begin with the prologue and the mandatory tutorial which can last for 5 minutes if you skip through them.
   
2. Once you are done, you are then brought to the lobby and into the tutorial scout.
   
3. The tutorial is free and comes with unlimited retries.
4. The tutorial pull will guarantee you at least one SSR character and depending on your luck, you can also nab multiple of them in that pull.
   
5. Once you are satisfied with your tutorial pull, you can then proceed into the game.
6. Make sure you are okay with it since you’ll need to delete and reinstall the game if you are planning to reroll outside of tutorial pulls.
7. If you are, then head over to the present icon to claim the launch rewards including 20 free pulls.
