How to Use This Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Tier List
This tier list evaluates characters across all game content types: open-world exploration, co-op dungeons, world bosses, raids, and PvP. A character rated SS in raid content might be A-tier in PvP — so context always matters. We weight overall performance with a slight bias toward PvE co-op content since that represents the majority of player time in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin.
Weapon loadout significantly affects character ranking. A character like King changes dramatically between Staff (healer) and Grimoire (burst support) loadouts. Where applicable, we specify which weapon loadout the ranking assumes. Always factor in which weapons you can realistically craft or acquire.
This tier list reflects the March 2026 global launch meta. As Netmarble releases balance patches, new characters, and new content, we will update rankings accordingly. Check back regularly — especially after major content patches.
Best Characters to Reroll For — Reroll Tier List
If you are starting The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin and considering rerolling for the best early account, the priority order is clear. Meliodas is the single best reroll target due to his flexibility across every content type, self-sustain via HP recovery, and best-in-class exploration kit (double-jump + wall-climb).
Elaine is the second priority — she transforms team survivability with the 50% damage reduction shield while also outputting competitive CRIT damage. Securing both Meliodas and Elaine on your starting account gives you the strongest possible foundation.
King is a close third, particularly for solo players or those who prefer a support-oriented playstyle. His Ultimate ability (full-party shield + HP restore) makes him invaluable in co-op content. For more details on the reroll process itself, see our full Reroll Guide.
How Many Copies Do You Need? — Gacha Investment Guide
Every character in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin has up to 11 levels of Breakthrough (Limitbreak), each requiring an additional copy of the same character. A character at 0 copies (first pull) is fully playable for all story content. At 6 copies, most meaningful endgame stats are unlocked. At 11 copies (fully maxed), a character reaches their absolute ceiling.
For F2P players, the realistic goal is securing one copy of your priority SS/S tier character and gradually building toward 3–6 copies over months of play. Full 11-copy investment should only be considered for whales or for characters confirmed to be core to the long-term meta.
The gacha pity system guarantees an SSR within 80 pulls and a featured Limited character within 120 pulls (with 50/50 mechanics). At launch, free resources equated to approximately 288 pulls, giving F2P players a real chance to secure their priority unit. For the full pity breakdown, see our Reroll Guide page.
