Tier List for Alchemy Stars – Top Characters
Alchemy Stars is a new free-to-play revolutionary turn-based strategic RPG that takes place on a grid-like structure which is divided into tiles of different colors. Players can make their team of 5 different characters called “Aurorians” to take down different bosses and enemies to clear the quests. Alchemy Stars is a PvE-based game where there is hardly any player interaction except the Friend system where players can add each other to their friend’s list. Alchemy Stars consists of different elements based on characters that are unique in their way from their lore to their abilities.
Alchemy Stars is a hero collector game with different heroes of different elements and rarities. Players can summon them from the summon system in the game or get some heroes from different events in-game. Generally, better rarity means a stronger hero. In Alchemy Stars, the highest rarity heroes are 6-Star heroes. Although the stats of all heroes regardless of rarities are the same at max level and max breakthrough, the difference in abilities is quite massive. Since Alchemy Stars is a newer title that was released recently on 17th June globally on Android and iOS, the tier list might be extremely stable as players are still experimenting with different types of teams with different combinations. However, with the help of our research so far playing the game as well as testing out different combinations told by the alpha testers, we can suggest the most optimal start and a comprehensive tier list for Alchemy Stars.
