Girls Echo launched globally on October 15, 2026, so I cross-checked every major tier list, the community wiki, and CN-server results to rank all 57 Phantoms. The short answer: Amaterasu and Medusa are the two account-defining picks — one is the best tank, the other the best healer, and both can revive your team. Everyone else exists to support them.

Below you’ll find the full SSS-to-C rankings, three team comps that work, and my honest reroll advice. One rule: run a Tank, a Healer, and one DPS, then upgrade around the roster you own.

SSSMedusaHealerTeamwide revive, 30% DMG cut
SSThorDPSBest single-target crit damage

SSAetherHealerATK buffs, 40% debuff

How I Ranked Every Character?

My rankings follow the global build as of November 2026 — not the Chinese version, where several characters place differently. I scored every Phantom on sustain, damage, utility, and the team she enables, then reconciled the Gamegoin and wiki lists (they agree on every placement except First Empress). Duplicates drive star upgrades, so a built A-tier unit can outperform an underinvested SS pick that doesn’t fit your lineup.

CDaji, Tsukimi, Mina, Sylph, Phoenix Flame, Chimera, Icarus, Kappa, Selina

B and C aren’t useless — they’re early fillers. Mephisto has 40% self damage reduction but awkward buffs; C-tier picks like Daji and Icarus I’d simply skip.

The Five Picks I’d Build Around

  • Amaterasu (SSS, Tank): Self-healing, a revive, and Charm — a control debuff only she has — make her the hardest frontline to remove.
  • Medusa (SSS, Healer): Revives each ally once per battle and adds 30% team damage reduction. Paired with Amaterasu, your team barely dies.
  • Thor (SS, DPS): Free Crit Rate and Crit DMG plus repeated follow-up attacks make her the boss-killing queen.
  • Izanami (SS, Burn DPS): Stacks Burn and raises damage burned enemies take — the core of the strongest archetype.
  • Aether (SS, Healer): A healer disguised as a DPS, with a 25% ATK buff and a 40% energy damage reduction debuff.

Best Girls Echo Team Comps

TeamLineupWhy It Works
Defensive starterAmaterasu, Medusa, Aether, Thor, AthenaTwo tanks plus two healers protect Thor’s damage
BurnIzanami, Nezha, Seraph, PilgrimIzanami stacks Burn, Nezha detonates it, Pilgrim blocks enemy healing
PoisonLuna, Aries, Hydra, DioneLuna applies stacks; Aries and Hydra turn them into damage

If your team survives but times out, swap spare defense for damage — don’t keep adding tanks when survival is covered.

Should You Reroll in Girls Echo?

Honestly, rerolling here is rough: SSR+ Phantoms sit at a 0.08% drop rate. That said, you get around 50 free pulls and a run takes 8–10 minutes. If you try it, target Medusa first and Amaterasu second, stop after 3–5 runs, and always log in with email (not guest) so you can use the +1/+2 alias trick to loop accounts.

FAQs

Who is the best character in Girls Echo?

Amaterasu and Medusa share SSS tier. Amaterasu is the strongest tank thanks to self-healing, a revive, and Charm control; Medusa is the strongest healer because she revives allies and cuts team damage taken by 30%. Build either if you pull her.

Is this Girls Echo tier list for the global version?

Yes — all 57 placements reflect the global build as of November 2026. The Chinese version ranks several characters differently, so don’t mix the two lists.

Can a lower-tier character beat a higher-tier one?

Absolutely. Duplicates fund star upgrades, so a built A-tier unit often outdamages an untouched SS pick, and synergy matters — Nezha only shines inside a Burn team, for example.

What’s the best beginner team in Girls Echo?

One tank, one healer, damage dealers, and a flex slot from what you own. Amaterasu, Medusa, Aether, Thor, and Athena form the ideal defensive template, but use your best available substitutes until you pull them.
