Sword of Convallaria asks you to fit only five or six fighters into each battle, so picking units that earn back the resources you sink into them matters more than raw star counts. The current ranking sorts every legendary by how reliably it performs in late-game content, with healers and buffers judged against other support units rather than against pure damage dealers.
Sword of Convallaria character tier list (June 2026)
The table below covers the legendary roster as it stands this month. Tiers run from S+ (a clear cut above everything else) down to D (units that struggle in endgame fights and can usually be left on the bench).

Top damage dealers and why they rank highly
Damage units climb the list when they squeeze out extra actions, bypass enemy defenses, or apply pressure every turn. A few stand out at the top of the offense side.
- Col ignores enemy defense and gains a second turn after a kill thanks to her passive combo. Her Continuous Stab also gets past evasion, which makes her the strongest single-target damage option right now.
- Auguste stacks Rage to scale his hits, and his Wrath Sword skill ignores enemy blocks. At full Rage he triggers a burst that hands him extra actions and energy back.
- Safiyyah mixes offense with life steal and an aura that raises ally damage against marked enemies, so she supports the team while still hitting hard.
- LilyWill rewards high-ground positioning with heavy damage and strong mobility, but her kit lacks area control and defense shred, so pair her with units that cover those gaps.
Best support, tank, and healing units
Support and defensive picks are scored on how many roles they fold into one slot. The most flexible ones keep your damage dealers alive long enough to finish fights.
- Inanna delivers strong healing, boosts ally damage, and lifts the whole team's survivability, which keeps her among the best supports.
- Cocoa tanks, heals, and dispels debuffs in one kit, and because her healing scales off HP, her tank stat pool feeds her recovery.
- Dantalion restores HP and energy whenever an ally on the field falls, letting him push deeper into enemy lines and cast skills more often.
- Simona is a tanky ice mage with the fastest base speed in the game, high attack and defense, and a team shield. Bring her to at least three stars to get full value.
- Alexei blends tanking, damage, and crowd control, plus a two-turn death prevention on fatal hits. He needs investment in skill cooldown, which keeps him in A rather than S.
Units to skip for now
A handful of legendaries fall short in tougher content. Leonide hits hard every two turns with Full Force Lance Charge and shaves enemy defense, but a long cooldown and heavy energy cost drag the rank down. Xavier deals area damage and self-heals when surrounded, yet he sits at the bottom and can be left out of most teams unless a future update buffs him. Samantha and Maitha remain serviceable early healers and tanks, but they offer little beyond that once you reach endgame fights.
How to reroll for a strong start
Rerolling lets you restart your summons until you land a top-tier unit. This routine works on the Android and iOS builds, but not the Steam version.
Step 1: Install Sword of Convallaria from the Google Play listing or the App Store listing. Open the game and choose the Guest Login option so the account stays unbound.
Step 2: Clear the tutorial and collect every starter reward. Spend all of your summon currency on the available banners to maximize your pulls.
Step 3: If the results disappoint, open Settings, go to Account, then Delete Account, and repeat the process from a fresh Guest Login. Once you pull a unit you want to keep, bind the account to an email to lock in your progress.
You will know the reroll succeeded when your summon history shows the S+ or S unit you were chasing and the account survives the email bind without resetting your roster.
Tiers shift as new characters arrive and existing kits get tuned, so revisit the ranking after each major patch. For most players, anchoring a team with one elite healer like Inanna, one heavy damage dealer like Col, and a durable front line such as Cocoa or Simona will carry you through the bulk of the game's content while you raise the units you actually enjoy playing.
