This is a tier list for units in Illusion Connect (Global).
It’s intended to give you a basic overview of which characters are worth aiming for.
The ratings are based on units being at max stars, and does not take into account team comps.
Some units are much better (OR WORSE) than they’re rated here. It depends on their level and team comp. Nicola, for example, is pretty average early on but godly at later levels. TL;DR: take the ratings with a grain of salt.
Banners
Banners work slightly different in Illusion Connect. Instead of them being global events available to everyone, they are account based.
This means that every account will have access to the same banners at some point, and no one will miss out on one. An important thing to know, as banners are the best way to obtain specific heroes.
The exception to this is the Seasonal Banners, such as the Halloween one. These happen every year for everyone at the same time, although we don’t know if it will be the same banner each year.
New Unit – Brooke
The general impression is that she isn’t really that good outside of very specific teams.

Best Units
SSR Units
Miyuki
Miyuki is currently the best unit in the game, but keep in mind that she is available for free once you login for 8 days straight. If you want to max out her stars though, you’ll need more than one copy.
Anna
Best healer in the game.
Kiraya
Best early game tank and easy to obtain due to being on the Miyuki banner.
Nicola
Amazing endgame unit, but not so great early on and at 3*.
Maki
A great unit, and the only one that can currently be awakened.
Yuffie
Great AOE unit, especially at 5*. Good at early game, but not a super priority to get her.
SR Units
Pan
One of the best SR units due to being a counter to healers such as Anna.
Rikia
Solid SR unit with dispels and debuffs in her kit.
The game is great i didnt get all heorine yet but belive me all, Beatrice is tottally misranked she is for sure the most powerful SR unit and underestimated she is insane high dmger on bar with SSR units
Rikia(SR) is practicelly a better version of her, and any SSR rank higher then her outscale her
True
I just start for 6 days I have ashwaya gemmy saya(ssr) fenebeth phobe kiraya yuffie hotaru and in 2 days I will get miyuki none are not full but they are great and this game is great too
In regards to is gemmy worth it, some of us just want gemmy for the fact of just having gemmy. I saw her and was like me want
Is there an overall best team comp for PVE? I’m talking most levels, I understand there are probably some later level that are different.
ok after play for a while I knew hotaru ashwaya feenbethe not great I got hashi selena gagaku kasumi they better
