Dragon Traveler is a popular hero-collection idle RPG with over 50 characters, each with their own skills and powers. While UR and SSR Luminaries look powerful on paper, their real value depends on their skills and how well they perform across PvE and PvP. Some heroes dominate every mode, while others fall off sharply after early progression. So, to help you choose the best ones, this Dragon Traveler tier list ranks every Luminary in-game based on their performance and versatility.
