Want to get the most out of your pulls? Don't want to waste precious resources on lesser characters? That's smart. You'll want to pay close attention to the Summoners War Chronicles tier list in that case. Mobile games are known for getting a little stingey with drops as you go on, and only using them on the best characters can help you go far.
It's very much a work in progress (it's early days for the game yet) but we're trying hard to drum up a reliable table ranking the best (and worst) Summoners War Chronicles characters in the game right now. More will be added over time, though, so it's worth noting that one powerful pull might not look that impressive as time goes on. Power creep is a pain.

The Summoners War Chronicles tier list features only 5* monsters you'll have a chance to obtain on your travels. It's worth noting that monsters in Summoners War Chronicles change names when you awaken them.
What this means is you'll need to know the monster's base name from the tier list. But if you've awakened one already, you'll want to look for the awakened name.
Monsters come in many different elemental types, but as soon as they awaken, their name changes. For example, Beetle Knight (Light) becomes Sir Tityus, but Beetle Knight (Water) becomes Sir Neptune.
4* characters
We'll be adding a list of the best 4* monsters in Summoners War Chronicles soon. It's a big job. It makes sense, though, given they're much easier to come across than 5* characters.
