Stella Sora Tier List – Your Player-Centric Guide to Trekkers
Hey fellow Trekkers—if you’re diving into Stella Sora (or planning to), you’re probably asking: “Which characters should I pull for? Which ones are worth investing in?” I got you. From a player’s seat, I’m walking through how this game’s tier list works, how rankings are made, how the meta shapes up—and most importantly, which characters you should aim for.
Let’s break down this guide into digestible chunks so you don’t get lost in the gacha chaos.
I. Introduction to Stella Sora Tier List
A. Overview of tier list rankings
Tier lists in Stella Sora are essentially rankings of Trekkers (your characters) according to how strong/useful they are right now—based on content difficulty, team synergy, investment cost, and future‐proofing.
They help you answer: “If I get this unit, does it matter?” “Will I still use them later or are they just hype now?”
B. Purpose of character ranking system
The purpose is twofold:
For pulling and rerolling: If you're starting a new account, you want a good “pull target” or two to set you up.
For resource allocation: After pulling, which characters deserve your time, gold mats, talent upgrades, gear etc. You don’t want to waste resources on someone who won’t scale.
C. Ranking methodology explanation
Good ranking systems consider multiple factors—not just raw damage. For Stella Sora, ranking methodology typically includes:
Performance (how the Trekker fares in standard & advanced content)
Versatility (how many team comps and modes they shine in)
Investment requirement (how many rare materials, how steep the mastery curve)
Meta relevance (how they stack up given current content and what likely comes)
Accessibility & reroll value (especially for new players)
Notice: even a 5★ might land lower if investment or synergy is too demanding.
D. Meta analysis overview
The “meta” here means: what the current state of the game rewards. Which elements (Fire/Ignis, Aqua, Terra, etc) are performing best, what team architectures dominate, which modes (roguelike runs, raids, etc) are hardest. Top Trekkers often align with meta teams.
For example: Terra-element team may currently outperform others, meaning a Trekker of Terra element gets a boost in tiering.
E. Community consensus guide
Ranking doesn’t come from one person—it’s a blend of multiple sources: player forums, guide websites, early launch data, player experience. Community consensus gives you reliability.
Across several fresh guides: Trekkers like Chitose, Gerie, and Nazuna consistently show up in the top tier. +4Twinfinite+4PCGamesN+4
That means, as a player, if I’m pulling new account, I’d prioritise those names.
II. Tier List Structure and Ranking System
Let’s zoom into how the tier list is structured. Knowing the system helps you interpret lists rather than just memorise them.
A. Tier list guide overview
Tier lists for Stella Sora normally use ranks: S, A, B, C (sometimes F or bottom tier) to categorise every Trekker based on value and ranking.
Different guides may vary slightly in naming, but the logic is similar: S is best, then drop down in usefulness.
B. Tier definition explanation
Here’s how I, as a player, interpret the tiers:
S-Tier: Elite Trekkers. High performance across the board. Worth pulling for and investing heavily.
A-Tier: Very strong Trekkers. Great choices but maybe a little situational or may require more investment.
B-Tier: Good Trekkers. Usable, especially early game or if they fit your team, but not top priority.
C-Tier: Lower priority. Might be fun, or fill niche roles, but likely get replaced later.
Some guides include a bottom tier (sometimes F or D) for Trekkers who are currently weak.
C. Ranking criteria
The specific criteria I use when placing a Trekker:
Raw DPS/utility: How much damage or support they bring.
Team synergy: Do they mesh with top meta teams? Does their element and role fit widely?
Resource cost vs gain: If a Trekker requires super rare mats but only marginal improvement, maybe less value.
Accessibility: Are they very rare or limited? For new accounts this matters.
Longevity/meta proofing: Will they remain strong after patches/content updates?
Using those, you’ll see why some 4★ Trekkers show up in A- or even S-Tier—they might be meta friendly, cost effective.
D. Placement methodology
When placing Trekkers into tiers, guides often test:
Clearable content (story, events) speed and consistency.
Performance in high-end modes or “end game”.
“How many scenarios can I use them in?”
“If I only put moderate investment, do they still perform?”
For example, one guide notes Chitose works very well with moderate investment.
So even though she’s 5★, her high performance and efficiency push her to S.
E. Tier categorization
Here’s a rough categorization based on recent guide consensus (October-November 2025):
S-Tier: Chitose, Gerie, Nazuna, Minova, Ridge (4★ but exceptional)
A-Tier: Nanoha, Chixia, Freesia, Tilia, etc.
B-C Tier: Various 4★/5★ who are solid but fall behind in toughest content.
Reroll priority: Focus on S-Tier + strong A-Tier for best early game. Many guides emphasise this.
You’ll want to keep your eye on updates though—new Trekkers, changes to meta mean tier lists can shift.
III. S Tier and A Tier Characters
Time to dive into the top tiers. These are the characters you want to aim for, pull for, invest in. I’ll give both the “why” and the “how” (as a player).
A. S tier guide overview
S-Tier Trekkers are the ones I’d say: “If I got them, I’m sorted for major content.”
They bring high damage or support, strong team synergy, moderate to high investment but good payoff.
Getting one or more S-Tier units early accelerates your account progression.
B. Top-tier Trekkers
Here are some standouts (based on multiple lists):
Chitose – Aqua element 5★. Massive DPS, both single-target and AoE, very efficient investment.
Gerie – Terra element 5★. Strong DPS, good all-rounder for Terra teams.
Nazuna – Terra element support 5★. Excellent both for support and team buff synergy.
Minova – Lux element 5★. Versatile and strong, especially for Lux team comps.
Ridge – 4★ Terra element. This is important: strong 4★ reaching S-Tier means you don’t only need 5★ to be meta.
C. A tier character guide
These are very good characters—but maybe with caveats (element/team requirements, investment needs, weaker in certain modes).
Examples: Nanoha, Chixia, Freesia, Tilia, Ann.
They’re solid picks. If you pull them, you’re not missing out. But if you have only limited resources, you might prioritise S first.
D. High-tier performers
What marks these top-tier performers?
They clear content fast, consistently.
They fit into many teams rather than niche.
They don’t require perfect gear to be useful (good baseline).
Their gains from investment are worth it (i.e., investing in them yields big returns).
For example: some Trekkers shine only once heavily upgraded, others are already strong at mid upgrade. Choose accordingly.
E. Tier comparison
Here’s a quick comparative mindset:
If you pull an S-Tier, you’re basically “safe”—you’ll be able to tackle a large variety of content.
If you pull an A-Tier, you’re “very good”—you’ll likely be fine, maybe slightly behind the top curve in certain endgame modes—but you’ll still enjoy and progress.
If you don’t pull either yet, don’t panic—still build strong 4★ and mid units, and aim for S/A in your next pulls.
IV. B Tier and C Tier Characters
Now we drop into the middle tiers. These characters are good—they’ll carry you, especially early game—but may need more investment or might lag behind in endgame. Knowing them still helps you build breadth.
A. B tier guide overview
B-Tier means: characters are solid. If you have them, you’ll use them. But they’re not your strongest “anchor” units. You might use them as fill-ins, or until you replace them with better.
New players especially will use a lot of B-Tier while they build up.
B. Mid-tier Trekkers
Some examples: Caramel, Teresa, Jinglin, Iris. According to recent lists, B-Tier.
They may have niche roles or weaker than top peers—but they still help.
C. C tier character guide
C-Tier are weaker choices—for example: Canace, Noya, Amber (depending on list). Not terrible, but if you have better options, they'd sit on bench.
One list even includes F-Tier/bottom for very weak picks.
D. Lower-tier performers
What limits them?
Lower DPS/utility compared to peers.
Very niche or element-locked (only shine in certain comps).
Require heavy investment to reach acceptable levels.
Or have weaker synergy with top meta teams.
As a player, I’d invest lightly into these unless I like the character a lot.
E. Viability assessment
For you: if you’ve pulled a B or C-Tier character, don’t worry—use them, build them, enjoy them. But also keep your eye open for S/A pulls and plan your resource distribution accordingly. Don’t pour all mats into a C-Tier unless you really like them.
V. F Tier and Bottom Tier Characters
Some guides include a bottom tier (sometimes F or D) to classify characters who are currently under-performing. As a player, this is useful to know what to avoid investing deeply unless you have extra.
A. F tier guide overview
F-Tier means: Very limited utility, or out-classed by many alternatives. Doesn’t mean the character is “bad” in fun terms—it just means for resources and progression they’re lowest priority.
B. Low-tier Trekkers
For example, a list may place Laru or Shimiao in F/C tier.
These Trekkers may have fun kits, aesthetic value, but for high performance—they lag.
C. Bottom tier character guide
As a player, bottom tier means: unless you pulled them and want to use them for fun/collection, you should not invest heavy resources (mats, upgrades) into them before building stronger characters.
D. Limited viability
Some may be viable only in very niche situations (very specific element team, or a gimmick map). Not useful as main carry units or broadly.
But note: future updates could buff them—tier lists are not permanent.
E. Niche usage
If you love a character in bottom tier—that’s okay! Game enjoyment > meta. But if you’re chasing efficiency/progression, pick your priorities wisely. Use bottom tier as side fun characters, not foundational.
VI. Character Tier Placement Analysis
Let’s break down how to analyse a specific Treyker’s placement and what metrics as a player you should look at.
A. Placement guide overview
When you see “Trekker X is A-Tier”, ask: What tests/measures led to that placement? This helps you understand whether that placement applies to you (your account, resources, team) or not.
B. Ranking analysis
Questions to ask:
What content was used to test them? (Story mode? Late-game content?)
Was the Trekker tested with full investment or minimal?
What team comps were used? Element synergy?
Does the Trekker shine in many roles or just one niche?
How many competing Trekkers exist in the same role/element?
C. Performance metrics
As a player, track:
Clear time: how fast the character clears content (shorter is better)
Resource efficiency: how many mats/upgrade levels needed to reach good performance
Flexibility: can the character perform in multiple team compositions or only one element/team?
Survivability & utility: DPS is good, but if they die or are fragile, their value drops.
D. Tier justification
When a guide lists Chitose in S-Tier, the justification includes: she has excellent DPS, AoE, works well early and mid, synergy with meta Aqua team, moderate investment. That covers multiple criteria.
If a Trekker is in A-Tier but only shines with heavy investment or niche comp, that’s flagged.
E. Evaluation framework
Here’s a quick personal framework:
What role does the Trekker fill (main DPS, support, etc)?
Do I have (or plan to have) the team/element to make them shine?
Can I invest the required resources (or do I have them)?
Will this Trekker still be useful in upcoming content?
If I skip them, do I have viable alternatives?
Using this, you can match the tier list to your own account.
VII. Strongest Trekkers and Top Performers
Let’s highlight the best-in-class Trekkers—the ones that stand out for performance and long-term value.
A. Strongest Trekker guide overview
These are the top dogs. Trekkers any player would be happy to pull. They are often anchors for multiple team builds.
B. Elite unit ranking
Summarising recent consensus:
Chitose (Aqua DPS)
Gerie (Terra DPS)
Nazuna (Terra Support)
Minova (Lux DPS)
Ridge (4★ Terra, exceptional value)
These Trekkers consistently appear across multiple tier lists as “best” or “priority pulls”.
C. Top performer identification
What flags them as “top performers”?
High single‐target + AoE damage
Low dependency on niche setup
Good synergies (especially with meta elements)
High return on investment (early pay-off)
From articles: Chitose “should be your highest priority when rerolling or summoning”.
D. Best-in-class ranking
If you’re building a team and can only get one 5★ or standout, pull for one of these top performers. After that, fill in with strong A-Tier and good 4★s.
E. Performance comparison
When comparing Trekkers:
Don’t just look at “S+” label—look at why.
Compare investment: Two Trekkers might have similar performance, but one requires more rare mats.
Compare team fit: If you don’t have the meta Terra team, maybe Ridge (though S-Tier) is less useful to you than a slightly weaker but more accessible Trekker.
VIII. Character Performance and Meta Analysis
Understanding meta and how it affects performance makes your pull/invest decisions much smarter.
A. Performance guide overview
Performance is measured across modes: story, event, roguelike runs, boss fights. A Trekker might shine in story mode but falter in high-end content—that’s important to note.
B. Performance metrics
As touched before: DPS output, clear time, resource cost, versatility, survivability. Also factor in team comps (synergies) and element strength (which elements are meta right now).
Recent guides point out that mono-element teams perform best in Stella Sora.
C. Meta analysis overview
Meta currently favours certain elements/teams (for instance Terra appears strong). If you build around a strong meta element, your Trekkers have better supporting cast and strategy.
If you stray too far, you may have a solid Trekker but weak complementary units.
D. Current meta trends
From recent sources: Terra teams are “by far the best elemental team to go for”.
That means Trekkers of the Terra element may have a slight advantage and higher floor for performance.
E. Competitive analysis
If you plan to go deep (end-game content, high difficulty runs), you’ll want Trekkers in S/A Tier and aligned with meta. For casual/early players, one strong Trekker + good support is fine.
Don’t chase “perfect meta” blindly though—your fun matters too.
IX. Competitive Ranking and Viability
Let’s anchor this into “Can I use this Trekker in competitive/highdifficulty content? Will they be viable long term?”
A. Competitive guide overview
Competitive means: high difficulty, requiring optimal performance, team synergy, resource investment. Tier lists reflect this with S-Tier focused on competitive viability.
B. Competitive ranking
Trekkers with top competitive rankings: see S-Tier list above. These are the ones seen in top-tier clears.
If you want to be competitive, aim for S-Tier. If you just want to play casually, A/B can be enough.
C. Viability guide overview
Viability questions:
Does this Trekker still perform after future updates?
Are there many better alternatives?
How many resources will it cost to bring them to competitive level?
D. Practical utility
Even a Trekker ranked A or B may have higher “utility per resource” early game, which means for many players they may be more practical picks than a 5★ S-Tier that demands heavy investment.
E. Real‐world performance
In real player experience (forums/guides) you’ll see claims like: “Using Trekker X, I cleared content faster by 20% than using Trekker Y”. These anecdotes help but remember: they often assume investment, team synergies. Take them as guidance, not guarantee.
X. Reroll Guide and Target Characters
Starting fresh? Here’s how you reroll effectively and which characters you should aim for.
A. Reroll guide overview
Rerolling means starting the game over (deleting account or using guest) until you get desirable pull results. It boosts your early game advantage.
Several guides mention Stella Sora allows multiple free pulls and rerolling is viable.
B. Reroll strategy
Aim for at least one 5★ Trekker from S-Tier.
Preferably aim for a secondary strong 4★ (A-Tier) to fill team.
Don’t reroll endlessly if you’re fine with A/B picks; enjoyment matters.
Time your reroll: do tutorial, do the free pulls, decide.
C. Reroll target guide
Best reroll targets (based on lists): Chitose, Gerie, Nazuna, Minova.
If you hit one of those, you’re in a strong starting position.
D. Best reroll choices
An ideal reroll result: 5★ S-Tier + at least one strong A-Tier 4★/5★. If you get that, bind your account and proceed.
If you only get A-Tier 4★s, still workable but you might have slower progression.
E. Optimal selection
For new players: don’t waste too much time chasing perfect. Once you hit a strong enough start (good 5★ or multiple A’s) start building. Progress counts more than perfect start.
XI. Best Reroll Characters and Beginner Tier
Let’s fine-tune for beginners: who you should aim for and what your starter tier should look like.
A. Best reroll guide overview
As above: focus on S-Tier Trekkers for reroll, as they give you the biggest return early. A-Tier next.
B. Ideal starting units
If you pull: Chitose or Gerie or Nazuna—great. If you pull a strong 4★ like Ridge or Tilia—still very good.
Beginners should use what they have, but plan for upgrading those units.
C. Beginner tier guide overview
For new accounts:
Use one or two strong Trekkers as anchors (preferably S/A).
Use 4★ support/fillers around them.
Your early goal: clear story content, unlock materials, build team synergy.
Don’t worry too much about “every top meta TREKKER”—you’ll gradually expand.
D. Newcomer recommendations
If you don’t get a top 5★ immediately, pick a strong 4★ and build around them.
Focus on one element/team first (makes gear/path easier).
Follow tier list to decide which Trekkers to raise first with limited mats.
Invest in roles: main DPS + solid support, rather than three “meh” DPS.
E. Foundation building
Build a strong foundation: one good DPS, one support/buffer, one flexible unit. Then expand.
If you follow the tier list and pull good targets early, you’ll unlock mid/late game with less friction.
XII. Starter Characters and Selection
Finally: for your first team, who should you pick and what should you avoid. Let’s wrap up.
A. Starter character guide
At the very beginning: you’ll use whatever you have, but make the best of it.
If your starter Trekker is in S/A-Tier—fantastic. If not, still playable but you may have to upgrade more or reroll.
B. Starting unit options
Initial Trekkers: you have a few guaranteed picks or event picks. Use them.
Even if they’re not top tier, they’ll help you unlock materials, story, gear.
C. Selection recommendations
Prioritise Trekkers in S-Tier.
If you get a strong 4★ from A-Tier that fits your team, use them.
Avoid investing all resources in low tier Trekkers early (unless you love them).
Build team synergy early: element + roles.
D. Early-game viability
Your early game should focus on: clearing main story, building mats, unlocking events.
Even A-Tier Trekkers can carry you through this phase. Focus on upgrading them to a decent level.
E. Progression support
As you progress:
Keep an eye on guides and tier lists (they may update).
Upgrade your anchor Trekkers first (DPS + support).
Expand team, diversify elements, fill roles with strong 4★/5★.
Rerolling may be less necessary once you’re past early milestones.
Alright—there you have it: a full, player-centric guide to the Stella Sora tier list. From how ranking works, to who the best Trekkers are, how to reroll, how to build your team, and how to interpret the meta—all laid out so you don’t get stuck spinning your wheels.
