Let's find out which are the best characters in our Dragon Traveler Tier List that you should focus on getting in the first month of this game (January 2026).

Dragon Traveler Tier List (January 2026): Best Characters to Pull For

We have divided this Dragon Traveler Tier List into four tiers or ranks: S, A, B, and C. The S tier represents Dragon Traveler Best Characters, while C represents the weakest in the current version of the game (1.4.1). We have rated these characters based on their effectiveness in team play, while remembering their individual strengths and weaknesses on both PvE and PvP. As expected from a gacha game, the rarer UR and SSR+ characters constitute most of the top-tier spots.

S-Tier

S-Tier characters are the best characters in Dragon Traveler that you can use in your team right now, since they have abilities that can make PvE a walk in the park if you have a few of these in your team. The top five characters in the S Tier of this Dragon Traveler Tier List are:

• Athena: Athena is the best Guardian in this Dragon Traveler Tier List. She is a UR character from the Sanctum Glory faction that possesses an amazing ability called Martial Verdict that lets her gain a shield by sacrificing HP for 8 seconds. She can also taunt enemies before slamming them into the ground, dealing 200% attack damage.
• Poseidon: Poseidon is the best made in Dragon Traveler because of her overdrive ability called Wail of the Deep, which calls forth a Tidal Wave across the screen to deal magic damage equivalent to 400% of her attack power.
• Ifrit: The fiery Ifrit is the best archer in Dragon Traveler. Her overdrive ability, called Hexagram, bombs all enemies with her fireballs, dealing 255% of her attack power as damage. However, subsequent fireball hits on the same enemy will only deal 20% damage.
• Ares: The God of War, Ares has the Godfist overdrive ability that lets her knock back enemies and deal 600% of her attack power as damage in a rectangular area. When you have full energy, her attacks also deal 44% of her max HP as extra damage, along with stunning them for 4 seconds.
• Hades: Hades, the God of Death, uses the Final Verdict overdrive ability that lets you clone her up to three times. Her clones have 40% of her attack power and cannot be targeted. She can also teleport to their locations, dealing 740% of her attack power as damage. Defeating enemies resets her cooldown, along with giving her 4 overdrive points.

A Tier

A-Tier characters in this Dragon Traveler Tier List have great synergy with other characters, only being bested by S-tier characters in terms of individual strength. The five A-tier best characters in Dragon Traveler are:

• Scheherazade: Scheherazade is the second strongest Priest in Dragon Traveler after Atanith. She provides amazing healing to all team members, serving as an essential supporter in nearly all team competitions. Both her overdrive skill and ultimate heal allies to keep them alive for longer.
• Chiron: Chiron is an amazing Priest who can provide morale boost to allies using the All or Nothing overdrive ability, allowing them to deal more damage. Additionally, she can also heal allies with her ultimate skill.
• Medusa: Medusa is a powerful archer whose overdrive Stonegaze deals massive damage and can also petrify enemies in a line, which prevents them from doing anything for 4 seconds. Her special skill, called Mystic Serpent, can deal lots of damage to up to three enemies.
• Gullveig: Gullveig is a powerful mage who deals significant magic damage with her overdrive ability, Abyssal Grasp, which also prevents enemies from healing. Her ultimate heals her drain HP from a target for 6 seconds, damaging them. This makes her powerful when facing bosses.
• Huginn and Muninn: Huginn and Muninn are twins who are excellent archers, providing strong long-range support. Her overdrive Featherstorm shoots feathers in front of her, dealing 185% of her attack power as damage when struck. The feathers return after a short delay, dealing damage again, making it good for dealing damage to multiple units.

B-Tier

B-tier characters in this Dragon Traveler tier list are good characters, having decent individual stats and limited synergies with the other Dragon Traveler best characters. We recommend using them until you get a good A or S-tier character from the section above. The five best Dragon Traveler characters in this tier that we recommend you upgrade first and keep in your team are:

• Anubis
• Oberonnie
• Siegfried
• Caligula
• Fenrir

C-Tier

C-tier characters in this Dragon Traveler tier list are the worst, consisting mostly of SR characters that you can easily get early on. These characters are individually weak, lacking good synergies with other characters. You will, however, be using them primarily early on when you create a new account and start playing this game. The five best characters in this tier are:

• Arthur
• Goren
• Titania
• Van Helsing
• Drasil

That's all regarding our Dragon Traveler tier list ranking all the best characters in Dragon Traveler. Since most S-tier characters are UR characters that are very hard to get by summoning, your team will most likely consist of A and B-tier characters that are easier to get as a Free-to-play (F2P) player.
