Overall Best Characters: Shez and Byleth

Character Explanation
Shez.pngShez
Overall a great offensive character with impressive Strong Attack range and stats across the board. Their unique Fleugel and Asura classes have access to a wicked YYYYX purple tornado combo, and Shadowflash lets you zip around the map, making them perfect for controlling when you need something done fast.
Best Class: Asura
Byleth.pngByleth
Byleth's Divine Pulse Unique Ability is laughably powerful, stopping time for as long as 20 seconds and allowing them to wreak havoc. The Silverheart and Enlightened One Class Action lets Byleth change their weapon element for a variety of situations, and each of its combos are unique and powerful.
Best Class: Enlightened One

Best Black Eagles Characters

Character Explanation
Three Hopes - Edelgard Edelgard One of the hardest-hitting units within the Black Eagles. Her Unique Abilities, Solar Prominence and Emperor's Prestiege ensures additional damage on top of her already powerful attacks.
Best Class: Emperor
Three Hopes - Ferdinand Ferdinand Ferdinand's Unique Ability, Maximum Ambulation, takes his speed to another level after achieving 300 hits and above against foes. Pairing this on top of being a Cavalier makes him the fastest unit among the Black Eagles.
Best Class: Holy Knight
Three Hopes - Jeritza Jeritza Although he doesn't stand out in the early stages, Jeritza comes into his own when he reaches the Death Knight Master Class. Along with high-DPS combos, his Class Action allows him to place sigils on the ground and detonate them, clearing out waves of mobs.
Best Class: Death Knight
Three Hopes - Monica Monica Excelling in both offense and support, Monica is one of the best all-rounders for having powerful area-of-effect attacks alongside boosted healing abilities when equipped with her Sacred Weapon.
Best Class: Gremory

Best Blue Lions Characters

Character Explanation
Three Hopes - Dimitri Dimitri His Unique Ability of charging attacks with Thunder isn't that special, but the lance-throwing Class Action and highly mobile combos of his unique High Lord and Great Lord class make him an easy-to-use DPS machine.
Best Class: Great Lord
Three Hopes - Mercedes Mercedes Mercedes' Radiant Love is possibly the strongest skill out of all the Blue Lions' Unique Abilities. By pressing ZR once the skill gauge is full, Mercedes will unleash a powerful wide-ranged attack and heal nearby allies in the process.
Best Class: Gremory
Three Hopes - Felix Felix Felix is always a reliable unit for most sword-wielding classes, and like in Three Houses, he also excels in the same role in Three Hopes. With Lone Wolf and Intense Velocity, he can take on enemies solo and remains dependable when ordered to fight on his own.
Best Class: Mortal Savant
Three Hopes - Ingrid Ingrid Combining the agility of a Pegasus Knight, the range of her attacks, and her Unique Ability, Icy Plunge, makes Ingrid one of the best units to clear out enemy mobs.
Best Class: Falcon Knight

Three Hopes - Leonie Leonie Leonie's Unique Ability, Reverence, makes her the go-to for high hit count. Being able to double number of normal attacks and end with a poweful finisher, she can easily take down foes before they even flinch.
Best Class: Holy Knight
Three Hopes - Shamir Shamir Shamir is the best character to use to take down enemy commanders as it will fill up her Warrior Gauge faster due to her Unique Ability, Survival Instinct. With this, she can clear out mobs easily.

We've updated the tier list to rerank some characters who deserve a higher placement. Feel free to share your thoughts here. Thank you!

I guarantee Edelgard gets more hate than Dorothea, and most females for that matter. She's controversial Still doesn't mean she isn't also very popular Dorothea was the most deployed unit in 3 houses at point
