SS Tier Analysis: These units form the backbone of the current meta. War Hero Fen and Isliid Human Pinnacle are particularly noteworthy for their unparalleled art generation capabilities, which enable teams to unleash devastating abilities more frequently. Bay Royalty Mira, added in the latest update, has quickly established herself as a top-tier damage dealer with excellent breaking capabilities.
Just a step below the SS tier, these units offer exceptional performance and can easily carry teams when properly built.

The summer variants (Summer Illya, Summer Riviera, etc.) often bring enhanced stats and unique abilities that make them valuable additions to seasonal teams.
These units perform excellently in the right team compositions and can be crucial for specific game modes or strategies.

| Makoto Shishio | Attacker | Strong physical damage, consistency |
S Tier Analysis: S tier units represent the workhorses of many successful teams. While they may not have the game-changing impact of higher tiers, they provide consistent performance and excel in specific niches. Units like Chobe and Himura Kenshin offer reliable damage output, while hybrid units like Momo provide valuable flexibility in team building.
These units are viable choices that can perform well with proper investment and team support.
| Unit Name | Role | Key Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| Ryude Granza | Attacker | Decent damage, situational usefulness |
| Stark | Support | Reliable support capabilities |
| Aira | Support | Healing and buffing utility |
| Sanosuke Sagara | Attacker | Physical damage, consistency |
| Jiji | Utility | Unique tactical advantages |
| Ainz | Attacker | Magic damage, versatility |
| Fitoria | Support | Strong buffing capabilities |
| Shackle Regalia | Support | Defensive utility, team protection |
A Tier Analysis: A tier units require more specific team compositions or investment to reach their full potential. While they may not be top-tier choices, they can be excellent additions to specialized teams or for players who have developed strategies around their unique abilities. Units like Ainz bring versatile magic damage, while supporters like Fitoria provide valuable buffing capabilities.
These tiers contain units that are generally outclassed by higher-tier options or require very specific circumstances to be effective.
Units in D tier are generally not recommended for investment unless you have a specific strategy or are playing for fun rather than optimization. These units typically lack the stats, abilities, or synergy to compete effectively in the current meta.
The October 2025 meta in Grand Summoners revolves around several key concepts:
Teams built around rapid art generation dominate the current meta. Units like War Hero Fen and Isliid Human Pinnacle are prized for their ability to quickly generate team arts, enabling frequent use of powerful abilities.
Mono-element and dual-element teams continue to perform well, with water and light elements being particularly strong due to units like Bay Royalty Mira and Crackshot Merlette.
The most successful teams typically feature 2-3 support units alongside 1-2 damage dealers. This approach maximizes art generation, buffing, and sustainability.
Based on current tier placements and meta analysis, here are some of the strongest team compositions:
This team excels at generating arts quickly while maintaining high damage output and breaking capabilities.
This composition offers a good balance of damage, sustainability, and utility suitable for most content.
This mono-water team leverages element synergy for maximum effectiveness in water-advantage situations.
If you have access to SS tier units, these should be your primary investment targets. Their game-changing abilities and meta-defining potential make them worth the resources.
S+ tier units offer excellent returns on investment and can form the core of strong teams. Focus on units that complement your existing SS tier units.
For S tier and lower units, invest strategically based on:
SS tier units typically excel in art generation, provide game-changing utility, or offer unmatched damage output. They often define the current meta and can significantly impact team performance regardless of composition.
The tier list is updated regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks or whenever significant balance changes, new unit releases, or meta shifts occur. Our last major update was on October 3rd, 2025.
Rerolling is generally not recommended in Grand Summoners due to low gacha rates and the time investment required. It's usually better to work with the units you obtain and build synergistic teams around them.
Art generation capability is currently the most important factor in unit rankings, as it enables teams to use powerful abilities more frequently. However, damage output, survivability, and team synergy are also crucial considerations.
Focus on art generation first, then add damage dealers and utility units. A typical strong team includes 2-3 support units for art generation and buffing, 1-2 damage dealers, and potentially a tank for difficult content.
Some older units remain viable, particularly those with strong art generation or unique utility. However, power creep is real, and many older units have been outclassed by newer releases.
Prioritize SS and S+ tier units first, then invest in units that complement your existing roster. Focus on leveling, limit breaking, and enhancing the abilities of your core team units.
Elements have rock-paper-scissors advantages that can significantly impact damage output and mitigation. Building mono-element or dual-element teams can provide substantial advantages in appropriate content.
This Grand Summoners tier list for October 2025 provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date rankings available. By focusing on SS and S+ tier units like War Hero Fen, Bay Royalty Mira, and Isliid Human Pinnacle, you'll build teams capable of tackling the game's most challenging content. Remember that tier lists are guidelines, and the most important factor is building teams that work well together and align with your playstyle.
Stay connected with the community through official channels and continue adapting your strategies as the meta evolves. With the right units, proper investment, and strategic team building, you'll dominate the world of Grand Summoners in 2025 and beyond.
