Alchemy Stars Tier List Guide | Best Characters in Global Version

Don't Miss: Alchemy Stars CDKey Codes

The trick in Alchemy Stars and every other tactical game for that matter is to assemble a balanced team. It's useless to form a party with very strong characters that don't have complementary abilities, so make sure that you have a diverse set of skills to use in battle.

You may find some other Alchemy Stars tier lists, but they will throw many characters at you that are yet unavailable. These are only available in other versions such as Korean, not the global one, so you shouldn't expect to roll for a character that is yet to be released.

Without further ado, here is our suggestion of the best Alchemy Stars tier list for you.
