  • S+ Tier: Stella and Nayuta are the two most versatile supports and the best end-game characters you can get in Resonance Solstice right now. They should be your top priority when rerolling / pulling.
  • S Tier: The most versatile characters of each rarity, excluding Nayuta and Stella. They are mostly supports and are members of many meta team compositions both now and in the future. They are all very safe investments. Those characters are Tennie, Caroline, and Arina (SSR), Rina Von, Aoba, Kaleya, Fenia, and Yer (SR), and Arcana, Shizuru, and Eliot (R).
  • A Tier: Very good characters that, together with the S+/S-tier characters, will form some of the most meta teams. Those characters are Connor, Katas, Ilona, Margiela, and Suen (SSR), Valentine, Ganya, and Yejue (SR), Julian, Reika, Karen, and Rachel (R).
  • B Tier: Strong and niche characters that have their uses, but they are few compared to that of the higher-tier characters. They are decent pick-ups, but not a high priority.
  • C Tier: Mediocre and very niche characters that don’t really have a spot in the meta teams.

In the tier list above is the general ranking of all characters in Resonance Solstice based on their overall utility and power. The higher the tier of a character, the more versatile and useful it is across all game content. All the best teams consist of almost exclusively of S+/S/A-tier characters, and those should be your priority. On the other hand, B/C-tier characters can be skipped.

S+ Tier Characters

CharacterDescription
Stella character from Resonance Solstice
Stella
SSR Front Support Purple Purple Purple
Stella is an OP support that can reduce the cost of all cards in your deck while providing offensive buffs and dishing out low-cost attack cards. Stella is by far one of the best characters in the CN version of Resonance Solstice, with a load of meta teams requiring her. Note that she is a frontliner, but a squishy one, so make sure to increase her HP through gear.
Nayuta character from Resonance Solstice
Nayuta
SSR Mid Support Blue Yellow Purple
Nayuta is an insanely strong support that doesn’t need dupes or high investment to work. His kit revolves around shuffling your deck in order for him to generate his unique cards. These cards provide various effects such as damage, debuffs, healing, and defense. Virtually any team will benefit from his kit, and that’s why he is still one of the most meta characters on the CN version.

S Tier Characters

CharacterDescription
Tennie character from Resonance Solstice
Tennie
SSR Front Defense Yellow Blue Yellow
Tennie is a frontliner/support who stacks Freeze/Electrify, provides shields, and Cost Regen when applying Freeze (requires Resonance 5). Another good trait is unlocked at Awakening 5, allowing you to apply Injure every time you apply Freeze, as well as double the effects of Injure. She is just very versatile and one of the best tanks in Resonance Solstice.
Caroline character from Resonance Solstice
Caroline
SSR Mid Support Red Red Purple
Caroline is a support/buffer who applies Electrify/Magnetize onto enemies and, with her Ultimate, allows allies to apply Electrify with each attack. Plus, at Resonance 5 she provides Cost Regen with each Electrify proc, making her even more valuable and versatile.
Arina character from Resonance Solstice
Arina
SSR Front Healing Green Purple Purple
Arina is a frontline healer who applies Confuse and Sleep onto enemies and Berserk onto allies. She is just a great buffer/debuffer/healer, and most teams will benefit from having her. However, she works best on teams with a lot of Red cards, as her Awakening 5 buff allows them to trigger Companionship.
Rina Von character from Resonance Solstice
Rina Von
SR Front Defense Blue Purple Yellow
Rina Von is one of the best SR characters in Solstice Resonance, with plenty of heals, and one of the best Cost Regen mechanics once you get her to Awakening 5. She is extremely strong with Nayuta and anyone else who can generate Black cards, and will be your main source of Cost Regen on a variety of meta teams.
Aoba character from Resonance Solstice
Aoba
SR Mid Support Red Yellow Red
Aoba is one of the main engines for card shuffling together with Nayuta, as her Improvision draws 5 cards, and will have its cost permanently low as long as you can keep spamming Red cards. Plus, she provides infinitely scaling DPS buffs with her Tayutau, making her one of the most versatile and easy-to-use offensive supports in the game.
Kaleya character from Resonance Solstice
Kaleya
SR Mid Support Green Yellow Purple
Kaleya is a support/buffer/healer for Ignite-stacking teams, doubling the damage of Ignite, healing allies, and stacking Ignite herself. She needs a few Awakening/Resonance unlocks to become extremely OP, but even without them, her utility for Ignite teams is unmatched.
Yer character from Resonance Solstice
Yer
SR Rear Healing Purple Yellow Purple
Yer is a jack of all trades support who can stack Chill extremely well, provide defensive buffs, heals, and restore Cost. She can work with many different teams that lack defense/healing, and is one of the meta Chill stackers.
Fenia character from Resonance Solstice
Fenia
SR Mid Offense Red Yellow Red
Fenia is a very strong AoE DPS who stacks Electrify and relies on discarding cards to deal damage. She is extremely strong with Nayuta, who can generate Black cards quickly and buff her Ultimate’s damage. She also has decent draws/Cost Regen in her kit due to her Yellow card (Bag of Tricks).
Arcana character from Resonance Solstice
Arcana
R Rear Support Green Yellow Yellow
Arcana is a support/healer who provides heals, Cost regeneration, as well as retrievals from the discard pile. She also reduces the costs of the cards that she retrieves from the discard pile, making her extra valuable on any team with a lot of high-cost cards.
Shizuru character from Resonance Solstice
Shizuru
R Mid Support Red Yellow Purple
Shizuru is an excellent offensive support for any team that relies heavily on Basic Attacks or Red cards, being able to max out ally Basic Attack speed and double the DMG of Commando allies [Shizuru/Karen/Julian], as well as search for Red cards. She also doesn’t require any investment whatsoever to work well.
Eliot character from Resonance Solstice
Eliot
R Rear Healing Green Yellow Yellow
Eliot is a support who provides heals, Ignite/Electrify-stacking, and discard pile card retrieval. At Awakening 4, retrieved cards get their costs reduced by 1, which is extremely useful for teams that focus on discarding a lot of cards. He is just an awesome utility, and will become even more valuable as new characters get released.

A Tier Characters

CharacterDescription
Margiela character from Resonance Solstice
Margiela
SSR Rear Support Purple Yellow Purple
Margiela is a debuffer/sub-DPS who can work in a variety of comps, as long as her teammates provide her with Elemental Cores to fuel her Nova transformations. She is just a very reliable AoE nuker, and doesn’t require much investment at all to work really well.
Connor character from Resonance Solstice
Connor
SSR Front Defense Blue Blue Purple
Connor is a tank/DPS who can provide insane shields, as well as broken burst damage through her ultimate. Her cards transform with each cycle, providing new effects and transforming further. Once her whole cycle is done, her latest cards deal massive damage, while providing buffs for allies and applying debuffs to enemies.
Katas character from Resonance Solstice
Katas
SSR Front Offense Red Yellow Red
Katas is a DPS with insane single-target/AoE damage potential for the end-game (after you get her Resonance 4/Awakening 4), as well as one of the best Cost Regen characters early on, because of her Energy Bubblegum card. She also applies a variety of debuffs that many different supports can work with.
Ilona character from Resonance Solstice
Ilona
SSR Rear Offense Red Blue Red
Ilona is a single-target DPS who has a unique sniper mode, locking onto targets and dealing damage with her Basic Attacks, as well as launching an extra attack every time a Red card is played. She doesn’t require much investment to work well, and is one of the most beginner-friendly DPSs you can use.
Suen character from Resonance Solstice
Suen
SSR Front Healing Green Purple Green
Suen is a support/healer who applies AoE heals, buffs, debuff cleanse, as well as DoTs. She is very versatile, and many teams that are missing healing will find her really useful. Her only downside is that her buffs apply only to one ally, making her less of a priority compared to some other good supports.
Valentine character from Resonance Solstice
Valentine
SR Rear Support Red Yellow Red
Valentine is a DPS/support who stacks Ignite, can immediately trigger the Leader Skill (Yellow card), and also generates Elemental Core: Fire (at Awakening 5), which is useful for Nova setups. She is especially strong with other Ignite-stacking/buffing characters, both as a DPS and as a support.
Ganya character from Resonance Solstice
Ganya
SR Front Offense Red Yellow Red
Ganya is one of the most F2P-friendly DPSs early on, with excellent DPS scaling on her Ultimate from discarded cards, and a Yellow card that searches for her other Red card. She doesn’t need much investment to work, and as long as you get some Cost Regen, she can carry you through the early game.
Yejue character from Resonance Solstice
Yejue
SR Rear Support Red Blue Purple
Yejue is one of the best Electrify stackers in Resonance Solstice and also a great support for Electrify teams. Another cool thing about her is that she can search for specific teammates’ cards with Thunder Crown (requires Awakening 4), making her a decent choice on many teams.
Julian character from Resonance Solstice
Julian
R Mid Offense Red Blue Red
Julian is a support/tank/DPS with plenty of utility, being able to debuff enemies, buff allies, and regenerate Cost (requires Awakening 5). She is extremely tanky and a decent DPS, though damage mostly comes from her Basic Attacks that are buffed with her Resonance/Awakening bonuses. She is also a Commando character, working well with Shizuru and Karen on the team.
Reika character from Resonance Solstice
Reika
R Front Support Yellow Red Yellow
Reika is a support who releases Autonomous Mines that explode after a time, dealing Explosive damage and triggering Lightning. Her ultimate allows her to draw cards when the mines detonate, and at Awakening 5, her discarded Demolitions get reduced costs, and provide virtually free DPS on teams that shuffle cards a lot.
Karen character from Resonance Solstice
Karen
R Mid Healing Green Purple Green
Karen is a scaling buffer/healer for teams that rely heavily on Basic Attacks, providing them with up to +100% Basic Attack damage, infinitely scaling DEF, and extremely good heals. Despite her overwhelming utility, she doesn’t work that well on that many teams and requires Awakenings 4/5 to get those OP buffs. Also, she is a part of the Commando team with Shizuru and Julian.
Rachel character from Resonance Solstice
Rachel
R Rear Healing Green Purple Green
Rachel is a pure support/healer who focuses on recovering Cost and healing allies as much as possible. She can work on virtually any team that is missing sustain/regen, though more specialized supports are often better.

In the tier list above is the ranking of all SSR characters based on how good they are as reroll targets. Stella, Nayuta, and Arina (Limited) are by far the most important characters to get, and they are really the best targets there are.

All other characters are less important, with Tennie, Caroline, Margiela, and Connor being decent options. Also, note that even if you don’t get Stella or Nayuta but do get some of the S-tier characters, you can keep the reroll and see what you get on the SSR Selector.

Best Teams in Resonance Solstice

In the section below, you’ll find all the best early/mid-game teams in Resonance Solstice, with extra details on how they exactly run. Most teams are F2P-friendly, and if you get Nayuta or Stella when rerolling, you won’t have a problem setting them up.
