Saint Seiya: Awakening Tier List

SS Tier

Athena

Pros

Serious damage dealer and hard counters Mu, Shion, Hades, Divine Cloth Phoenix, and everyone’s favorite cosmo Dragon Teeth

Cons

Need a lot of skill books.need to build her specific to the line-up.

Hades

Pros

Still very powerful, but dropping a little in terms of overall power level, as he doesn’t do much else besides damage output. However, will almost never be banned now so you can consistently play him.

Cons

It still needs a lot of skill tomes.

Poseidon

Pros

Very flexible with energy use, counters many, many units, also high damage.

Cons

He needs a lot of skill tomes to be a good card; only a slightly better Saga in 1111.

Shaka

Pros

Incredibly reliable control. Starting with the second hit can reliably control 3 high energy units. A lot of speed boosts from many sources and easily reaches 600+ and can be reliably at 650+. (700+ for your truly high-level PVP players.)

Cons

A little fragile, but it hardly matters anymore.

Divine Cloth Phoenix

Pros

So  Much Damage. Even hard counters can fail if he gets lucky and just pushes through with damage.

Cons

It’s also easy to use his own skills against him.

S Tier

Camus

Pros

Ice team can now consistently free 2-6 units even against a couple of counters.

Cons

The ice team does have way too many counters. Very fixed line-up.

Milo

Pros

Mock AOE, incredible damage. Three attacks will definitively kill 1-3 units, through June’s vine.

Cons

Very fragile.

Mu

Pros

Highest potential AOE damage of the game. Easily does more than twice the damage of Poseidon/Araya Shaka. Tanky and offers your other units protection as well

Cons

Useless in PVE. Difficult to build; he needs speed, HP, and statues

Shion

Pros

Highest one-shot damage alongside Sagittarius. Tanky and offers the protection of your unit from both damage and control. Now an okay-ish counter to Awakened Shaka.

Cons

Useless in PVE.

DeathMask

Pros

Late-game insurance for high damage & low HP teams; indispensable in some of the high-level dungeons/legends.

Cons

Lacks the HP and damage output to reliably act as the finisher.

Grand Pope

Pros

Best AOE control, comeback maker. It can be used as the gamble on repeat for a desperately difficult PVE level.

Cons

High energy cost and hard countered by Evil Saga. depends on luck.

Kanon

Pros

Makes most of the PVE experience a cakewalk, easily blasts through all of Seal Tower, and a fixture on one side of Athena trials until the end.

Cons

Makes do-or-die teams with no bounce back plays.

Sorrento

Pros

It’s always fun to surprise people with him.

Cons

Too many hard counters.

Shaka Arayashiki

Pros

Skill 2 is the answer to many difficult PVE levels. Does everything in PVP.

Cons

A little fragile for PVP.

Divine Cloth Pegasus

Pros

Very high damage output (200k+ per two turns), invulnerable every 1 out of 2 turns. The most efficient at farming dailies/dungeons can carry you through some difficult PVE levels as well.

Cons

He has some trouble against Evil Saga and only really has two lineups in the arena. significant start-up cost in skill tomes.

Saga

Pros

Hard counter for high energy use, high damage teams, slows the game down.

Cons

It’s easy to play the countering game around him. If you are not careful, your opponent can incapacitate your whole team by leveraging the drawbacks of his skills. Requires a stupid amount of skill tomes.

Lizard Misty

Pros

Wind Shields & win games.

Cons

You might need two copies of him, built to different specifications. Also, not the easiest unit to build.

Chameleon June

Pros

Probably the best protection in the game.

Cons

Not tanky enough for her role and difficult to build.

Cepheus Daidalos

Pros

One of the most important units for PVE, especially for Legion boss. It offers a hard counter to many units, especially Divine Cloth Phoenix.

Cons

Very fragile requires the presence of his student Chamaleon June.

Luna

A Tier

Shura

Pros

Counters god-tier June, so he has that going for him.

Cons

It takes a while to get to its full potential, but its full potential doesn’t do quite enough.

Saga

Pros

Carries early stages of the game

Cons

Not enough damage/utility.

Dohko

Pros

One of the three main DPS for high-level PVE play; very powerful even without too many skill upgrades, relatively easy to build, dominate PVP in the early stages of the game.

Cons

Falls of the PVP meta pretty quickly

Milo

Pros

The only 0 energy DPS capable of +100k damage, very useful in PVE, especially high-level Athena Trials

Cons

Way too fragile; damage output too chancy

Aiolos

Pros

Still the most reliable damage dealer for high-level PVE

Cons

Not enough damage output for its energy cost, fragile, harm teammates

Aphrodite

Pros

Can dominate specific metas nad must-have for legion boss until Divine Cloth Phoenix

Cons

PVP viability is very brief.

Pandora

Pros

Guarantees your victory for appropriate PVE levels, especially Athena trials and very useful healer against specific lineups in the arena.

Cons

Only a good healer against specific lineups.

Rhadamanthys

Pros

The only way to potentially make it to top ten in legion boss fights.

Cons

Inconsistent damage in the arena and requires specific partners in the lineup and designed as an AOE. But the damage is only significant when targets are few; it requires way too many skill tomes for his overall power level.

Hyoga Gold Cygnus

Pros

Help protect key units, redirecting attacks has a lot of interesting use, a fun unit.

Cons

It doesn’t seem to do enough and not the most useful in PVE.

Andromeda Shun

Pros

Most reliable and secure single-target control in the arena, especially powerful against teams that depend on a central unit.

Cons

Expensive for a pure control skill & very slow.

Crow Jamian

Pros

Incredible healer for the arena when paired with June. For a high-level, late-stage arena, if you need a healer, he is the first choice.

Cons

Nothing really.

Eagle Marin

Pros

Great healer, less flexibility compared to Crow.

Cons

Nothing.

Hydra Ichi

Pros

His strength depends on the strength/speed of the unit he buffs. great when Sagittarius and Pope can dominate the match.

Cons

Speed buff limited by Kiki’s speed, so not fast enough in the long-run.

Crane

Pros

DPS of the energy-drain team featuring Hound, Pegasus, and Ursa Minor.

Cons

Only really strong with the underfed version of Hound

• Firebird Ikki
• Kraken Issak
• Seahorse Baian
• Pegasus Seiya
• Centaur Babylon
• Cassios

B Tier

Taurus Aldebaran

Pros

Easy to build.

Cons

Damage too low for the one-turn delay; skill too easily interrupted.

Leo Aiolia

Pros

Works well with specific units, in specific meta.

Cons

Useless in PVE, very little flexibility in line-ups.

Virgo Shaka

Pros

AOE control.

Cons

It has some hard counters.

Capricorn Shura

Pros

Works well with Rhadamanthys.

Cons

Just not enough damage.

Sagittarius Seiya

Pros

His damage does ramp up quickly and energy cost is relatively low.

Cons

Just not enough damage.

Siren Sorrento

Pros

It’s always fun to surprise people with him.

Cons

Too many hard counters.

Chrysaor Krishna

Pros

Some niche use in PVE (but very niche).

Cons

Sealing legendary cosmos has some use but not enough.

Alternate Shun

Pros

In a long game does significant damage.

Cons

Just not enough damage.

Scylla Io

Pros

Good beginner unit for PVE.

Cons

There are better units that do what he does and more.

Alternate Shiryu

Pros

It can be a good way to counter Kanon teams if you set up everything else perfectly; some good interactions with Pandora.

Cons

Way too fragile.
