CounterSide Tier List – PvE & PvP

When you only want to pick your favorites but have to think of team composition.

Having a lot of characters might seem great, but it makes it very difficult to pick which units you will summon and build in your teams. Check out our Counter Side tier list for both PvE and PvP modes for the best units in the game.

All Counter Side Characters PvE Tier List

No tier list is perfect, and you might like other units better and place them higher. However, here is our all Counter Side characters PvE tier list based on units' overall flexibility and utility in this mode.

You need to keep in mind that since there are a lot of units, even the ones that are in lower tiers can be very useful, especially if you don't have anything better. And if you're unlucky like me, you will probably be getting those units the most. Make sure to use CounterSide codes to help you level up in the game.

Best Counter Side PvP Characters

The best Counter Side PvP characters are several Awakened units with great utility, a good Damage output, and unique kits.

  • Awakened Yuna Springfield (Striker) - one of the most popular units in both PvE and PvP, she deals AoE damage, removes enemy buffs, Her passive summons Rayleigh, and she recovers her HP while Rayleigh is on the field.
  • Awakened Lyudmila (Supporter) - while she doesn't have a big DMG output, she has great Crowd Control over the battle. She binds targets when summoned and increases their Cooldown. Once an enemy dies, she applies a Skill Seal on all enemies.
  • Awakened Rosaria (Sniper) - is one of the strongest DMG dealers that prioritizes targets in the air. She has a guaranteed CRIT if her attack hits a single target, is unaffected by Chill or Freeze, and gains stacks of Hellfire, which enhances her ATK.
