Prydwen's tier list for Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium that rates all currently available characters.
Last updated: 02/12/2024
Tier List
Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium (GFL 2) is more of a collector/waifu game, but when it comes to combat, teams are more important than sole characters. A strong character without a proper team to support their playstyle/kit will struggle and not perform well. That's why when creating our tier list, we didn't look at the character in the vacuum and instead took into account their best teams and synergies. Also on their profiles, you will find their pros and cons + an overview of their playstyle.
The tier list was created with the help of multiple day 1 CN players and other veterans of the CN server who shared their knowledge and experience with us. Special thanks to - Made by RNGesus and koj from our staff and Ceia, Dr. Brom and Wewechoo who gave us additional feedback and information.
Tier Lists
- Global tier list focuses on early/mid game and shows the impact of the character on your progression through various PVE modes. Assumes non-optimal attachments and only Keys available early. PVP performance isn't include in the rating.
- CN tier list focuses on the late/end game and takes into account the performance of characters there based on how well they fit the current meta. Assumes optimal attachments builds and best Keys setup. PVP performance isn't include in the rating.
Categories
- Damage Dealer - Characters whose main role is to deal damage during the battle and that's their primary role,
- Amplifiers - Characters who help allies with buffs or hinder enemies with debuffs as their primary role,
- Healers - Characters who focus on keeping their allies alive via Heals or Shields, but they also can provide buffs (but to a lesser degree than Amplifiers),
- Tanks - Characters who are there to take the enemy attention and keep their allies alive.
Please keep in mind that some characters could fit multiple categories - for example Suomi - and in their case, we have picked the primary role they fill in combat as their default category.
Special Tag
Characters with the tag in the top left corner require specific teammates to perform at their full potential. If you can't give them who they want, they will perform below the rating given to them. We will soon provide a list of all very important synergies/pairings.
Criteria
Characters are evaluated as such:
- For Global tier list, both SR and SSR characters are rated at V0 (no dupes),
- For CN tier list, SSR characters are rated at V0 (no dupes) and SR characters are rated at V6 (max dupes),
- What's taken into consideration: raw power, versatility (teams and builds), utility (how unique or essential their kits are), how hard the characters are to play to their full potential,
- Characters are compared only within the same category when it comes to their placement on the tier list. So don't try to compare DPS with Sustains based on their ratings,
- Top Picks:
- S+ Tier: The absolute best at their category, while also offering extra benefits.
- S Tier: On par with the characters from S+ Tier, but lack the extra benefits that make the S+ Tier unique.
- Good Picks:
- A Tier: Compared to S tier characters, they have some sort of drawback - such as needing extra investment or a specific environment/characters to be paired with to work well.
- B Tier: Not bad, but definitely need investment or specific circumstances to shine and reach the same level of A Tier or above.
- Niche Picks:
- C Tier: Characters who work on very specific (niche) circumstances or who rarely play their role, functioning as a placeholder or substitute for characters who are from tiers above.
- D Tier: Underwhelming characters that have fully fallen out of the meta for various reasons and it's hard to make them viable.
