If there’s one thing I’m grateful for, it’s the wide variety of strategies and decent units in Alchemy Stars. With four elements to choose from, there’s bound to be a team or strategy that just clicks for you. But as with any game, there are some units that rise above the rest, and if you want to stay competitive, you should aim to use the best of the best. Down below we’ve got a tier list of units for Alchemy Stars sorted by element!

Tips for Getting Started

First things first – if you don’t pull what you want the first time around, you’ll probably be interested in rerolling, which we have a handy guide for you right here.

As a disclaimer – the tier list is based on research done via official and unofficial sources, as well as my own subjective thoughts. It is entirely possible that a unit may be stronger or weaker than how I place them on the lists below. It’s recommended that you use the below tier lists as a general guide to building your own team, and not as gospel!

The tiers are separated, as always, into three categories: S, A, and B. With S being must-have units and those in the lowest tiers much lower on the priority list. Finally, high tier units are not necessary to progress in the game. If you pull three five-star units, it may be best to keep that account versus rerolling to try and get a six-star unit!

Let’s get started, shall we?
