The engaging combat in Abyssdia has you leading teams of 4 vanguards through thick and thin, spiced up with various synergies and harmonic attacks for intense chain action. No matter when you joined, you're probably wondering how to prepare, who to pull for and which units to pick through the SSR selectors, so we are here to dispel the mystery with our Best Vanguard Tier List.
All Characters in Abyssdia Ranked - Tier List
Vanguards come in only two rarities in Abyssdia, SR and SSR. All of them are viable at the very least as stand-ins to activate some Harmonic Strikes of your choice; but not all can carry you to top Arena circles and high difficulty raids, invaders, etc. Though Harmonic Strikes offer best flat multipliers to mono-colored teams by far, it's perfectly fine to opt for a filler of different element to fill in a role you're lacking or purely for the benefits of the kit a certain Vanguard is brining on their own. In fact, this can sometimes create interesting effects if the played unit of one element obtains a stat buff of another color's Harmonic Strike. Below, we have sorted the best Vanguards Abyssdia offers in three different tiers.

S Tier Abyssdia Units
| Character | About |
|---|---|
 Rin Offense, Physical Red Lunar | ● Rin is a unit you can obtain for free during the campaign within the first year of Abyssdia's launch. ● She is an excellent ranged damage dealer who focuses on stacking Spirit Talismans and Critical rate and damage. ● As a carrier of Red Harmonic strike, she will debuff the enemy to Physical damage in particular, allowing herself to dish out a lot of damage. ● This also synergizes perfectly with Setia and Ruby, her companions in a mono-Red team. |
 Ka'liaserin Offense, Magical White Lunar | ● Ka'liaserin is given as the first SSR to all players upon a 10-draw, guaranteed to make a good teammate and worthy of investment. ● White is the element that is short on attackers at the moment, so you will have to rely on her to do the heavy lifting if the enemy is weak to White. ● This is not at all a problem for her, as her multipliers stack to insane numbers, and she is able to carry battles against White-weak enemies. ● The only weakness to speak of is what would be the mono-White team, given that the remaining three available units are two Supports and a Defense respectively. |
 Irina Defense, Magical Blue Solar | ● Irina is a defender who offers crowd control in the form of her freezing skills, but also great multipliers for her own damage and enemy debuffs, even elevating her to a hybrid role of a sub-DPS. ● When Irina carries a Harmonic, she increases the Crit rate of all allies for solid 8s, so she also grants buffs as well as debuffs. ● Very valuable as the only Blue sustain in the game. |
 Aisha Support, Magical White Stellar | ● Aisha is currently the best healer-support in the game, regardless of element. ● She is also an amazing debuff remover and a buffer, granting a Critical rate increasing buff field with her second skill, scaling with her Attack power. ● She is not recommended as the Harmonic carrier, as all the strike does is restore HP over time, massively, which is not a scenario you want to be in to begin with. |
 Rachel Offense, Magical Black Lunar | ● Rachel is an attacker-debuffer who shines the most on all-magical teams, she lowers enem magic defenses and resistances and is overall super strong. ● She is particularly good with Elfina, but also Nimue and Irina because her own damage is increased with any debuff the enemy has, including those inflicted by teammates. ● Her utility is only lowered due to lack of mono-Black comps that would truly allow her to shine, so it's better to ignore her Black element before better teammates arrive. |
A Tier Abyssdia Units
| Character | About |
|---|---|
 Elfina Defense, Physical Black Solar | ● Elfina is a defender whose main qualities are the debuffs she inflicts on enemies; lowering their DEF and dealing HP-scaling damage. ● Her second skill additionally reduces enemy DEF significantly for 10 long seconds, while also offering a chance to stun them, giving her a crowd control element. ● The only dedicated Black damage dealer is available on a limited banner, so without her, a mono-Black team is not possible, and she has difficulty synergizing with SR Black teammates. |
 Ash Offense, Physical Green Lunar | ● Ash offers high damage numbers with her skills in a hybrid close-distant range, allowing her to dodge incoming damage more easily. ● Furthermore, she herself benefits from the Harmonic Strike a lot, and should be the main unit played if you're activating the Green harmony. |
 Eika Offense, Physical Blue Lunar | ● Eika is a Crit-oriented Blue attacker who relies on good skill multipliers when dealing damage. ● If she is the Blue Harmonic carrier, she can capitalize off the increased Critical chance to dish even more damage after casting the Harmonic. ● She is currently the strongest Blue attacker in the game. |
 Setia Offense, Physical Red Lunar | ● Setia is an excellent Red physical attacker with great synergy options already in the game. ● When she carries the Harmonic Strike, she increases her AP recovery efficiency and gains physical attack enhancement, but it's only useful to her. |
 Nimue Defense, Magical Green Stellar | ● Though Nimue is classed as a Defender, she is also a debuffer who can freeze enemies while lowering their Magical resistances, and her Harmonic carry skill also improves magic amplification for the team. ● Better suited for out-of-Green comps for a Magical damage team instead. ● Nimue herself is a perfectly fine unit, but her value goes down because of lack of synergy with Ash, the dedicated mono-Green attacker, who deals Physical damage instead. |
 Lapis Support, Magical Green Stellar | ● Lapis is a great SR healing supporter, already in your team from the beginning. ● She is a reliable source of healing and easily replenishes skill 2 usage. ● She is also capable of removing one debuff at the time from her teammates. |
 Ruby Defense, Physical Red Solar | ● Ruby is a Red defense unit who does the job well by pulling the aggro of enemies and tanking, allowing dedicated damage dealers to land the DPS. ● Her skill 2 stuns the enemies and lowers their defenses, helping the whole team peel the enemies faster. |
 Elena Support, Magical Red Stellar | ● Elena brings a unique healing/charming aura to the field with her Skill 2, taking care of enemies and teammates when it matters in one go. ● Her skill 1 further reduces the enemies' DEF, allowing her whole team to score higher damage numbers. |
 Florin Offense, Magical Black Lunar | ● Florin has a particular damage multiplier enhancing buff when paired with her twin, Flolen, though their elements mismatch. ● When carrying the Harmonic, Flolin immediately restores half of her AP. |
 Flolen Support, Physical White Stellar | ● Flolen is a solid heal-supporter, who restores HP as well as inflicting damage resistance reducing debuff on enemies. ● Like Florin, Flolen gains a specific buff when teamed up with her twin Florin; increasing the Critical rate of all teammates for 15% on skill 2, which makes for a very solid kit on an SR unit. |
B Tier Abyssdia Units
| Character | About |
|---|---|
 Linette Offense, Magical Blue Lunar | ● Linette is a sub-DPS unit best (and only really) suitable as a filler for mono-Blue teams, given that her Harmonic strike carry skill is a selfish Blue boost for her only, something that is easily overcast by literally any SSR unit on the team. |
 Yoru Offense, Physical Black Lunar | ● Regardless of being the definition of a glass cannon, it's worth noting she has the highest damage output of all SRs. ● Yoru is a very strong damage dealer, but because she lowers her own HP and defense while attacking, without a healer you will lose her to the fray immediately and lose any chance for team Harmonic Strikes, which is a big dependency. |
 Xan Offense, Physical Blue Lunar | ● Xan's damage output is tied to her high damage multipliers, with a tradeoff that she takes increased damage while in skill 1, so before you get rid of this debuff at Transcendence 4, she will be painfully squishy. ● Her main selling point is the Harmonic Strike carry ability that reduces the enemies' chance to resist a Crit attack from allies, something all Crit oriented units can capitalize on. |
 Louise Defense, Magical White Solar | ● Louise isn't terribly good at protecting the team and instead has more value as a crowd-controller, pulling the enemies in and stunning them with her skill 2. ● She can proc a barrier scaling with her Defense when she is the Harmonic carrier, but that's a pretty steep cost for something that doesn't end a level faster. |
 Areu Offense, Physical Green Lunar | ● Areu herself isn't really strong, save for her Harmonic carry ability which increases the Physical damage dealt by all allies, making a good teammate to Ash. |
