Madoka Magica Magia Exedra Characters Tier List — 2025 Meta Breakdown
Hey fellow wawawitches and magical-girl fans! If you’ve started playing Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra (just “Magia Exedra” from here on out), you know picking the right girls for your team is everything. With a bunch of characters — from the classic cast to those from spin-offs — it can get confusing fast. So, I’m throwing down my player-grounded tier list for Magia Exedra as of late 2025. This is my take: what works, what’s situational, and who I think deserves the gems (or doesn’t).

Introduction
I’m writing this as a player — not some dry reviewer. I lean on what feels strong in harder content, what carries cleanly through Witch Labyrinths and end-game events, but also what stays useful long-term (less fluff, more substance).
Before we go into tiers, here’s a quick primer on the game and how I’m ranking things.
A. Game Overview & Character System
Magia Exedra is a free-to-play, gacha-style, turn-based tactical RPG. You build a squad of Magical Girls (and potentially spin-off characters), explore Witch Labyrinths, fight enemies, and rely heavily on team synergy, character roles, and resource management. The battles revolve around a “break” gauge / break mechanic, elemental/role strengths, and strategic team building — so who you pick matters a lot.
Because of this, tiering characters isn’t about “who’s cutest” or “who’s most popular.” It’s about performance, flexibility, longevity, and synergy — especially if you aim to clear high-difficulty labyrinths or go far into end-game content.
B. Character Collection & Team Building Focus
As a gacha game, pulling the right characters (or investing in them) can drastically change your experience. Early-game vs late-game goals are pretty different. That’s why I classify characters not only by raw strength but by when and how they shine — early game, mid game, late game, or for specialized roles.
C. Tier List Purpose & Methodology
I grouped characters based on:
Overall performance potential (damage, utility, support, break gauge synergy)
Versatility across game modes (Labyrinths, boss fights, events)
Long-term viability (does this character stay useful many patches later?)
Accessibility / ease to build (how “budget-friendly” vs “investment-heavy”)
Tiers (top → bottom): S (top meta picks) → A (strong & viable) → B (situational / niche / early-game) → C (limited use / filler / relic-status).
D. 2025 Meta Update & What’s Changed
Since launch (Mar 27, 2025 on iOS/Android, PC via Steam from July 17 2025) the meta has started to settle. New characters and updates have shaken up what works — so this list fits the game status as of December 2025.
E. Why This Matters for Players
If you’re new: this helps you know who to pull or invest in first.
If you’re mid-game: this helps you plan upgrades, team comps, and resource spending.
If you’re hardcore: this helps you optimize for end-game labyrinths and long-term content.
Alright — let’s dive into the tiers and see who’s shining, who’s faltering, and who’s fun but fragile.
II. Tier Classification System Explained
Here’s how I break down the tiers for Magia Exedra characters:
S Tier – Top-tier meta characters. Must-have or very strong with minimal drawbacks. Great across many modes.
A Tier – Strong, viable options. Might need investment or team synergy to shine, but solid in many contexts.
B Tier – Situational or niche. Good early game, or for specific strategies. Often used as placeholders until you get better options.
C Tier and below – Limited use. Usually outdated, heavily outclassed, or require too much investment for low payoff. Use only if you like them or are building budget / filler teams.
Throughout the rest of the article I’ll list which characters (or archetypes) I think belong in each tier — as of 2025 meta.
III. Top-Tier S-Rank Characters (Meta Defining Picks)
These are the Magical Girls / characters I consider “go-to” units if you want reliable, long-term performance and easy progression through hard content. If you get one of these, you should feel lucky (or spendy
