As the highly anticipated fantasy tactical RPG Sword of Convallaria gears up for its release we have prepared a tier list that aims to help both newcomers and seasoned tacticians make informed decisions about which characters to prioritize in their team compositions.
Sword of Convallaria, with its blend of retro pixel art aesthetics and modern tactical gameplay, offers a vast array of unique characters to collect and train. Our tier list takes into account each mercenary’s overall utility, combat effectiveness, and synergy potential within various team setups. We’ve carefully analyzed their skills, stats, and performance in different scenarios to provide you with a comprehensive ranking.
The criteria for each ranking are as follows:
Rating(s):
- S Tier – These characters are some of the best in the game, and generally excel at fulfilling their role in most scenarios and are highly recommended to build.
- A Tier – Excellent batch of characters, only falling slightly behind the S-tier units, and can play well in most content.
- B Tier – Still worth the investment and can be pretty solid in certain teams or circumstances.
- C Tier – Situational. May not be worth the investment due to limited usage.
- D Tier – Very situational. Not recommended unless under a specific scenario.
Without further ado, here is the tier list and the justifications for why characters are ranked in their placements.
