Brown Dust 2 leans hard on its costume system, where a single character can swap roles entirely depending on the outfit you pull. That makes early choices matter, because the units and costumes you target on a fresh account decide how fast you clear story content, Fiend Hunts, Guild Raids, and Mirror Wars PvP. The current rankings reflect version 2.27.19, with Ocean Vanguard Luvencia and Deadeye Nekyndalia as the newest additions.
Quick answer: Aim for Morpeah, Apostle Blade, or Dark Saintess Liberta as your anchor pick. To reroll, complete the tutorial, open the Infinite Draw tab, and lock in 5★ Eleaneer for a physical team or 5★ Scheherazade for a magic team. You don’t need to delete your account unless you want to chase a specific banner unit.
Best Brown Dust 2 character right now
Morpeah remains the standout pick. She can strike before the first turn begins and summon extra units that both attack and shield her team, all while putting out heavy water-element damage. Her value holds even at low investment, which makes her the safest target for a new player.
Apostle Blade has changed the top of the meta as the game’s first Apostle. Her counterattack hits all enemies when she takes damage and can reach extreme burst numbers, though her low HP means she needs strong defensive support to survive. You receive a free copy of Apostle Blade in Chapter 15. If you want the best support instead, Dark Saintess Liberta is mandatory on any serious physical team thanks to her multiplicative damage amplification.

How to reroll in Brown Dust 2
Because of the Infinite Draw system, you can keep pulling for a starting 5★ costume until you get one you like, so a full account reset is usually unnecessary. Reroll only matters if you want duplicates of a specific banner unit.

True rerolling for banner dupes
If you care about an active banner and want duplicates of that unit, true rerolling stacks the early pulls in your favor.
You know the reroll succeeded once the account shows your target costume in the barracks and, for true rerolls, the duplicate count you wanted. After linking to your email, that progress is saved and safe to keep building on.
Brown Dust 2 is a live-service game, so these rankings can move as new costumes and Apostles arrive. The safest long-term play is to anchor a new account around Morpeah or a free unit like Apostle Blade, then build out elemental coverage with supports such as Dark Saintess Liberta, Arines, and Helena so you have an answer for every content type.
