Why We Don't Rank Characters Yet
Demos at Tokyo Game Show 2025 and Gamescom 2026 were short, scripted sessions of about 40 minutes. Skills, numbers and equipment can all change before launch. Lists that already rank characters S to D, sometimes including characters that are no longer on the official site, are guessing.
At launch we will rank each character on damage, utility, ease of use and performance across story, bosses and endgame, as described in our editorial policy. Also worth knowing: Ananta has no character gacha, so every character is free to unlock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best character in Ananta?
Nobody can say yet. Ananta launches on January 15, 2027, and no build with final character balance has been available to the public. Any ranking published before launch is speculation. We will publish a data-backed tier list after launch.
Which characters are confirmed playable in Ananta?
Captain, Taffy, Richie and Yinglong have been playable in official demos (Tokyo Game Show 2025 and Gamescom 2026). Seymour and Shi Ye are on the official roster, and Lykaia appeared in both demos.
Do you need to pull for characters in Ananta?
No. Ananta has no character gacha. Every playable character is unlocked through story progression, so a tier list is about who to invest in, not who to spend money on.
When will the Ananta tier list be updated?
At launch on January 15, 2027, then after every major balance patch. Our methodology is described on the About page.
