Higan: Eruthyll Tier List – Ranking the Best Characters to Add to your team
Higan: Eruthyll looks as promising as a game that card-based RPGs can get when it comes to art style, solid graphics, well known publishers, and the community hype behind it. Developed and published by BILIBILI, Higan: Eruthyll was first teased to the global audience in mid-2022 when the game was still pretty much barebones. In just a span of 1 year, players have been treated with a closed beta test that was held back in December 2022 and now the current soft launch for selected SEA countries that will give players a thorough look at how the game functions. Players will be able to download and install Higan: Eruthyll as a free-to-play title on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store, provided you are in one of these 3 countries – Singapore, Malaysia, or Canada. On the most recent updates, Higan: Eruthyll is soon to release globally as well with an open beta for more countries scheduled to launch sometime next month.
The Best Higan: Eruthyll Tier List
Higan: Eruthyll is a hero collector title where players can summon for their favourite characters through summoning them from a Gachapon system. Based on old school Japanese gachapon systems, games of these genre are essentially loved or hated alike as they are related to gambling. Higan: Eruthyll offers different rarities of characters, ranging from the highest rarity to the lowest rarity. Players are required to summon for the highest rarity of characters in order to get stronger and complete their collection. Firstly, the higher the rarity of the character, the better it performs due to having better base stats as well as abilities. Secondly, the higher the rarity of the character, the lower will be the probability to summon them. Vice versa, the lower the rarity of the character, the higher will be the probability to summon them. A hard pity also exists in Higan: Eruthyll for the joy of players where they are guaranteed to get their favourite character when making 120 summons. Here are the different rarities of characters and their rates:
- 3-Star Characters – 2% Probability of being summoned
- 2-Star Characters – 19% Probability of being summoned
