Our Grimlight Tier List ranks all Grimlight Heroes in tiers from best to worst. The tiers range from S Tier, the best, to C Tier, which means “Not viable” or “Useless at the moment”. This tier list was made through proper research and hands-on experience. Moreover, If you like tier lists like these, you will love our Counterside Global and Dislyte tier lists.
- Grimlight features an entire playable cast of up to 46 characters that the game attributes as “Heroes.” Each hero is categorized into distinct classes and elements.
- Besides their skills and base stats, all characters are ranked based on how competitive they perform in the world of Phantasia and outnumber all the Dreamless.
- Adaptability and the amount of upgradability on offer are also vital ranking signs in Grimlight.
- Having that considered, Dracula, Madhatter, Red, and Cowardly Lion are the most viable characters in Grimlight at the moment.
- Grimlight heroes that seem useless for the current meta include Hook, Odile, Beast, The Huntsman, Puss, and Rapunzel.
- The best Grimlight Heroes should be the preferred main pick, no matter the situation, as they are truly versatile.

Grimlight Heroes Breakdown

The game takes place inside the world of Phantasia. This world is like a collection of all fantasy tales from animated and live-action movies such as the Disney franchise, different stories from books, and some widely known folklore.
Of course, this collection of tales in Phantasia also includes the most prominent characters in each of the stories, such as the protagonists, antagonists, and important supporting characters. These characters are the ones known as the “Heroes” in Grimlight. The Heroes in Grimlight are similar to the Guardians in Disney Mirrorverse, which we’ve already made a tier list of Disney Mirrorverse Tier List.
Moreover, the Heroes can be used by playing with them through each of their stories. Additionally, they can be called upon by using the power of the “Dreamstone” to summon them so they can aid each other and you in your fight against the deadly and mysterious Dreamless.
