Mobile fantasy strategy brawler Chain Strike features an absolutely massive number of potential Guardians to utilize — so many so that we haven’t even found them all yet!

Obviously, not all Guardians are created equal, and some are just plain better than others for advancing through adventure levels. Players can take advantage of multiple free Guardian summons every day, so you won’t ever have a shortage of them, even if you don’t grind away constantly.

Want to know how to reroll your starting Guardian to get a higher-star character? Check out our full Chain Strike Reroll Guide here. For those wondering how their Guardian list stacks up against other players, check out our tier list below.

 Summoning new Guardians is the heart and soul of the game

Chain Strike Tier Lists 

Although the tiers tend to go along star lines, several factors can radically change a Guardian’s ranking, from attack direction to enemy formation, whether you are using auto-battle, and even if you are in PvE or PvP.

Team composition is critical, and in some cases, an SS tier Guardian can get totally wrecked by B tier Guardians if the team isn’t meshing effectively. Guardians aren’t static and unchanging, so they can also vary widely in their utility based on their equipment and upgrades.

For our Chain Strike tier list purposes, we’re taking a generalized PvE approach to the rankings. While there will be some individual adventure levels where B characters actually work out better than SS, in general, the higher-tier Guardians will have better abilities and stats for most PvE situations.

Chain Strike C Tier Guardians

This C tier consists of those wonderfully useless 1 star Guardians that have rock bottom stats. Keep in mind, though, that even these Guardians can be upgraded in useful ways, and some have unexpected uses (like the Angel’s Revival skill that auto-resurrects a defeated Guardian in battle).

Guardian Stars Type  Angeling  1  Useless Cannon Fodder  Duckie  1  Useless Cannon Fodder  Deviling  1  Useless Cannon Fodder Jelliling  1  Useless Cannon Fodder Magmaling  1  Useless Cannon Fodder Slaling  1  Useless Cannon Fodder Toffee  1  Useless Cannon Fodder Whaleling  1  Useless Cannon Fodder

 Cool, a duckie. That should help me fight massive fantasy battles somehow.
