Suikoden 2 Tier List: The Definitive Guide to the Best Characters in the RPG Classic

Few JRPGs from the PlayStation era command the reverence of Suikoden 2. With 108 Stars of Destiny to recruit, plus a few secret characters, building the perfect six-person party can be overwhelming. Unlike modern games where balance patches smooth out the rough edges, Suikoden 2 retains its original quirks—some characters are godlike, while others are borderline unusable.

Quick party templates (typical balanced builds) suikoden 2 tier list

23. Miklotov

• Why he’s C-Tier: Same as Camus. He is a wall, but walls don't kill final bosses. He is outclassed by Pesmerga.

19. Gengen (The Kobold)

• Why he’s C-Tier: Low attack, low magic, but decent dodge. He is a meme character. Only use if you need a small hitbox for fun.

• Base Stats (Strength, Magic, Skill, Speed, Defense, Luck)
• Rune Slots (Number and placement)
• Swing Speed & Hit Multiples (How many times they attack per turn)
• Unite Attacks (Synergy with other top tiers)
• Availability (When they join your army)

Final tips

D-Tier (Not Recommended)

• Build around one or two S-tier physical attackers (Kage, Hugo, Flik) plus a high-tier mage (Nanami or Glen) and a sturdy frontline (Lucia/Ted).
• Prioritize recruits with complementary runes: party magic + elemental coverage helps avoid redundancy.
• Early game: use flexible, easy-to-recruit units (Pahn, Sialeeds) until higher-growth characters join.
• Late game: swap in S/A-tier characters and use equipment and runes to tailor matchups (armor-penetrating runes vs high-DEF bosses, strong elemental runes vs elemental-weak enemies).

25. Hix

• Why he’s D-Tier: The worst swordsman in the game. Low speed. Low magic. He exists to pair with Tengaar (who is great), but Hix alone is a disaster.
