Who is the best Partner in Star Sailors?

How the Star Sailors Tier List Works
This Star Sailors tier list ranks 20 Partners and Monster companions using community PvE and PvP meta from the June 30, 2026 global launch. Search star sailors tier list, star sailors character tier list, and star sailors reroll tier list — this page replaces scattered fan charts with one updated reference.
These are fan wiki tiers, not official Com2uS rankings. Balance shifts after patches can move units within a week. We cross-check rankings against story clear speed, Break damage, Chain Bonus value, Arena win rate, and resource efficiency — then link to the partners guide and wiki database for full stats.
S-tier Partners define meta teams — invest fully. A-tier units carry you through mid-game until SSR dupes arrive. B-tier is early-game viable on free routes. C-tier placeholders should be replaced before spending Promotion materials.
We split Partner rankings into PvE (story, dungeons, Alliance Raids) and PvP (Arena). Monster tiers track opening-buff utility. The Reroll tab lists gacha chase targets; F2P covers the 16 Partners obtainable without premium Compass.
Google autocomplete also surfaces star sailors monster tier list and star sailors com2us tier list — both map to the tables below. Last updated July 2026 after global launch week testing.
| Tier | Label | Partner example | Monster example | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 🏆 Meta | Heidi · Nina · Kaira | Light Wisp | ✅ Invest fully |
| A | ⭐ Strong | Erling · Dora · Mui | Ember Whelp | ✅ Keep for mid-game |
| B | 📈 Usable | Rak · Soul · Caroline | Stone Golem | Keep until A/S drops |
| C | 🔄 Replace | Remi · Nadia | — | Swap when SSR available |
Star Sailors Partner Tier List — PvE
The Star Sailors partner tier list for PvE prioritizes Break damage, Chain Bonus multipliers, and sustain for story stages, Daily Stories, and Alliance Raids. Fire and light teams dominate early story because many stages weak to green — Heidi and Nina anchor most S-tier PvE comps.
S-tier PvE cores — Heidi builds Chains fast with multi-hit fire AoE and clears wave fights before enemies act. Nina Stingblade specializes in single-target burst and crit scaling for boss gates. Princess Jen provides healing, damage reduction, and buff removal that keeps longer dungeon runs stable.
Kaira bridges offense and support — hybrid healing plus damage makes her irreplaceable in raid attrition. Gerbil and Iris as Assist Partners amplify team Chain generation and crit burst windows without occupying Battle slots. Hunter K buffs crit rate team-wide; Carat punches above SR rarity as a budget wind DPS.
A-tier PvE picks — Erling tanks water Break teams. Ethan slots into light Chain comps. Quarter Rest Dora and Mui cover healing and buffs on free routes. B-tier Rak and Soul hold fire lines until Jen or Heidi arrive; Caroline (tutorial SSR) works as a debuff support but falls off compared to Gerbil.
Cross-check element coverage on the teams guide before promoting C-tier units — spreading Gold across Remi or Nadia delays your first S-tier Promotion.

Star Sailors Partner Tier List — PvP
Arena rankings in this Star Sailors tier list favor debuff Assists, burst windows after Break, and healers that outlast enemy burst. PvP meta diverges from PvE — a story carry like Heidi still ranks S-tier, but Gerbil and Nutty climb higher relative to pure DPS.
S-tier PvP — Kaira wins long trades with hybrid heal-damage. Heidi deletes teams after Break with fire burst. Gerbil stacks debuffs from the Assist slot. Nina Stingblade pressures shield-heavy defenses with consistent Break.
A-tier PvP — Princess Jen anchors stall comps with cleanse and mitigation. Nutty adds control from Assist. Iris enables quick kill windows with crit Assists. B-tier Caroline and Iron work on budget defense until SSR supports arrive.
Monster Partner choice matters in Arena — Shadow Fang extends debuffs while Light Wisp accelerates Overdrive burst. Pair PvP Partners using the teams guide element coverage checklist.

Star Sailors Reroll Tier List
The Star Sailors reroll tier list lists banner SSR chase targets for fresh accounts. Global launch tutorial recruits guarantee Caroline on the 10th pull — reroll for Nina, Kaira, or Heidi before binding your account.
S-tier reroll stops — Nina Stingblade for boss DPS, Kaira for hybrid sustain, Heidi for fire AoE clear speed. Any one of these three justifies stopping reroll on a premium account.
A-tier stop — Princess Jen is a strong defender-healer if you exhausted Compass without Nina. F2P players can skip reroll entirely — 16 free Partners plus Caroline clear early story. Full flow on the reroll guide.
Redeem active codes before rerolling so each attempt starts with bonus Compass. SSR rate is 2% with 100-pull pity — codes and launch gifts reduce reroll session count.

PvE vs PvP — Star Sailors Tier List Context
Not every Star Sailors tier list rank holds equal value in story grinding versus Arena duels. PvE rewards AoE Chain clear, Break gauge pressure, and sustain through multi-wave fights. PvP rewards debuff stacking, burst timing after Break, and healers that survive enemy Overdrive.
PvE standouts — Heidi and Nina speed-clear story; Kaira and Jen stabilize Alliance Raids; Gerbil amplifies long PvE fights from Assist. Fire teams dominate early chapters — the beginner guide explains why stage 2-1 unlock matters before grinding.
PvP standouts — Kaira and Gerbil rank higher relative to pure DPS in Arena. Nutty and Shadow Fang enable stall strategies. Iris creates fast kill windows when paired with Hunter K crit buffs.
Invest in one core Battle Partner first (usually Heidi or Nina), then build Assist depth. Splitting resources across four Battle units delays Break damage for both modes.
| Mode | Top Partner picks | Top Monster | Key mechanic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🗡️ PvE story | Heidi · Nina · Jen | Ember Whelp | Chain · Break |
| 🏰 Dungeons / Raid | Kaira · Gerbil · Iris | Light Wisp | Sustain · Overdrive |
| ⚔️ Arena PvP | Kaira · Gerbil · Nutty | Shadow Fang | Debuff · stall |
| 🌱 F2P early | Caroline · Dora · Mui | Stone Golem | Free route clear |
