S Tier - Best Luminaries in Dragon Traveler
| Luminary | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Poseidon | + Damage ramps up extremely fast as fights progress, overwhelming enemies + Strong AoE pressure combined with soft crowd control effects + Scales exceptionally well with gear and investment + Poseidon fits seamlessly into almost every team composition |
 Athena | + Athena is one of the best damage-soaking Guardians in the game + Shields allies while absorbing lethal damage herself + Provides consistent frontline stability in all modes + Still contributes good DPS damage for a defensive unit |
 Hades | + Clone-based assassin mechanics constantly pressure enemy backlines + Hades forces enemies to waste skills on illusions + Strong in both PvP and boss encounters + Remains effective even with moderate investment |
 Ifrit | + Ignite-based damage scales extremely well over time + Consistent DPS in both short and extended fights + Excellent synergy with burn and AoE teams + Ifrit is strong across all game modes |
 Ares | + Extremely high burst damage with self-buffing mechanics + Stats scale a lot once aRES secures a kill + Strong frontline presence despite being offense-focused + One of the most oppressive UR damage dealers |
 Huginn and Muninn | + Huginn and Muninn shreds enemy teams with sustained high attack speed damage + Excels against both tanks and squishy targets + Reliable DPS in PvE and PvP alike + Minimal setup required to perform well |
 Scheherazade | + Scheherazade has the highest overall healing output in Dragon Traveler + Provides consistent sustain in long fights + Works in nearly every team composition + Scales extremely well into the late game |
 Faust | + High-risk, high-reward mage with explosive AoE burst + Damage scales aggressively with enemy debuffs + Excellent boss and wave-clearing potential + Faust is one of the strongest offensive mages when built correctly |
A Tier Luminaries
| Luminary | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Fenrir | + Exceptional single-target burst damage + Fenrir deletes priority targets quickly + Great if enemies lack assassin counters |
 Marylis | + Strong overall damage and dueling potential + Marylis is effective against priority enemies - Requires external healing to stay consistent |
 Gullveig | + Healing suppression heavily punishes sustain teams + Gullveig has strong health-drain mechanics in skills - Situationally devastating, especially when heavily invested |
 Medusa | + Fast and consistent DPS output + Medusa is easy to slot into most teams, a versatile pick - Slightly weaker burst compared to top-tier archers |
 Brynhild | + Balanced warrior with good burst and survivability + Brynhild performs well in extended fights - Lacks overwhelming late-game scaling |
 Helveil | + Strong debuff application and control presence + Helveil is useful against tank-heavy teams - Damage output is more utility-focused |
 Atanith | + Enables lifesteal-heavy team comps + Atanith adds crowd control to sustain teams + Strong in most PvE game modes |
 Titania | + Very high raw healing output + Titania keeps teams alive through heavy pressure - Limited utility outside healing |
 Tyrfing | + Solid burst warrior with execution mechanics + Tyrfing has good synergy with buffers - Falls short against heavily armored enemies |
 Asteros | + Balanced mage with reliable AoE damage + Asteros has consistent performance across modes - Does not excel in burst situations |
B Tier Luminaries
| Luminary | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Lorilin | + Strong single-target burst DPS + Lorilin is good against most boss fights and modes - Limited AoE, bad against a group of enemies |
 Nemesis | + Nemesis is a useful backline assassin + Good PvP usage, especially with equipment - Requires careful positioning, otherwise useless |
 Nanalie | + High AoE damage potential in skills + Nanalie can swing fights quickly with multihit - Extremely fragile. Requires a Guardian to be alive |
 Herman | + Decently Tanky with healing suppression tools + Herman is a good early-game guardian in most modes - Becomes fragile later. Outclassed by other tanks |
 Caligula | + Damage reduction and shielding buffs for allies + Caligula helps against burst teams. Especially in PvP - Healing output is limited. Not great as a Priest |
 Chiron | + Chiron provides healing with morale support + Stable buffer with somewhat useful DPS - Lower impact than top priests. Outclassed overall |
 Siegfried | + Siegfried has decent off-tank capabilities early on + Decent warrior damage in most modes - Needs heavy support late game |
 Anubis | + Anubis is a reliable frontline guardian that counters assassins + Solid defensive kit. Good skills for tank - Weak to HP reduction effects |
 Drasill | + Drasill shields and supplemental healing + Useful in double-guardian teams - Cannot replace a main healer |
 Goren | + HP-scaling damage and stuns + Goren works as a secondary tank - Poor performance as a main guardian |
C Tier Luminaries
| Luminary | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Cleopatra | + Summon-based mechanics are unique + Cleaopatra can work with specific synergies - Currently lacks strong summon support |
 White Tiger | + Decent burst damage from skills + White Tiger is a fast assassin with good overall DPS - Self-sacrifice makes her unreliable |
 Telperion | + Row-based AoE damage from skills + Telperion is useful in most PvE stages - Damage output is RNG-heavy |
 Guna | + Hybrid kit concept with both burst and AoE + Guna is a flexible early filler for DPS - Lacks a clear role and synergy |
 Lancelot | + High speed assassin with backline diving + Lancelot is easy to use in most teams - Insufficient burst damage for the late game |
 Van Helsing | + Van Helsing is a useful early-game archer for PvE modes + Simple skills, decent DPS - Poor scaling into the late game. Useless in PvP |
 Jormungandr | + Tanky stats with poison debuffs + Jormungandr can work as a decent frontliner - Overall, DPS and debuffs are both underwhelming |

|---|---|
 Mordred | + Mordred has decent assassin skills - Poor scaling across all modes - Easily outclassed by other assassins |
 Ophelia | + Ophelia provides minimal support and heals - Healing and buffs are too weak - No late-game use in any mode |
 Pan Junbao | + Pan Junbao has decent assassin skills - Skills taunt assassin but are useless in PvE - Low HP. Dies before contributing |
 Cerberus | + Cerberus has a simple mage kit. Decent overall DPS - Extremely low impact in most modes - No meaningful team comps or combos |
 Arthur | + Arthur is a beginner-friendly warrior for most teams - Severely underpowered, bad scaling - Outclassed immediately and has Bad stats |
 Beowulf | + Lackluster warrior kit, decent DPS, and stats - Skill DMG multipliers are comparatively very low - Beowulf has no meaningful buffs or scaling, falls off quickly |
 Gudong | + Gudong has high base HP, can survive briefly in early encounters - Skills lack proper scaling, ineffective mid-game onwards - Buffs do not synergize well with any team comp |
How to Create the Best Team Comp - Tips & Tricks
| Team Comp | Faction Synnergy | Upgrade Order |
|---|---|---|
| * x1 Guardian (tank): Athena, Poseidon, Herman * x1 Priest (healer): Scheherazade, Titania, Atanith * x2-x3 DPS: Mix of single-target (Ifrit, Hades) and AoE (Faust, Huginn & Muninn) * x1 Flex slot: Utility or second tank for hard content | 3+ characters from the same faction activate bonus stats Main factions: Sanctum, Arcane, Elemental, Umbral Check character details for faction tags | 1. Upgrade your main tank first (Athena or Poseidon) 2. Star-up main DPS (Ifrit or Hades) 3. Healers work fine at base rarity initially 4. Focus on 4-5 core units before building roster depth |
How to Reroll in Dragon Traveler
You can reroll in Dragon Traveler, but there are a few steps. Rerolling takes 15-20 minutes per attempt but significantly improves your starting roster. First, complete Chapter One to unlock summoning and rewards. Make sure you are playing on a guest account. Redeem all available codes to claim summoning currency. If you didn't get your desired Dragon Traveler character, follow these steps:
- Go to the Profile by selecting your image in the top left corner of the screen.
- Select the 'User Center' option to check your account.
- From the menu, select the 'Delete Account' option.
- Read the Account Deletion Disclaimer and press 'Confirm'.
- Once completed, you can log in to a new Guest Account.
Then, create a new guest account and again complete the tutorial and chapter one to summon new units. Once you pull a strong S-tier Luminary, you can then bind your account to secure your progress.
Best Reroll Targets (Priority Order)
S-Tier Reroll Targets:
- Ifrit - Highest single-target burst DPS, dominates all content
- Athena - Best tank with shields, life link, essential for PvP
- Hades - Top PvP assassin, clone mechanics pressure enemies
A-Tier Reroll Targets (Good Alternatives):
- Scheherazade - Best healer, fits every team composition
- Ares - UR warrior with massive burst and self-buffs
- Huginn & Muninn - Sustained DPS that scales well without dupes
Acceptable Reroll Results:
- Any 2 SSR from the S-tier or A-tier list
- 1 UR + 1 S-tier SSR
- Ifrit alone would do the trick as he's really, really good!
