Brown Dust 2 PvE Tier List and Roles
Best Brown Dust 2 characters and their costumes for their roles in PvE (DPS or support).
IceKane
Character Guide — Granhildr
Granhildr is a Physical Light Tank that controls the battlefield with her preemptive skills. Her taunt combined with both the survivability of her energy guards and the danger of her counters make her a nightmare to deal with in PvP.
Character Guide — Glacia
Glacia is a Magic Water tank with a revive skill unique to her! On top of that, she is currently the only tank who can realistically build both 90 DEF and 90 MRES, making her a brick wall in PvP.
Character Guide — Teresse
Teresse is a Physical Water support who offers both an offensive buff and a knockback skill. This combination of skills is admittedly strange, but having an offensive buff like hers makes her worth the investment.
Fiend Hunt Guide — Cherry Blossom Evil Spirit
Love is in the air, and so is the spirit of the Hunt! This Fiend is a formidable foe that shreds the magic resist of your entire team, before unleashing its magic attacks. Taunting the Fiend and sacrificing our units is key to getting its guard down.
Character Guide — Eclipse
Eclipse is a Magic Dark DPS who specializes in draining the SP of her enemies, while also dealing a decent amount of damage. Her impact in the PvP meta has been massive since Nightmare Bunny released, so if you have that costume, she'll definitely work wonders for you.
Character Guide — Anastasia
Anastasia is a Physical Fire DPS with some of the highest damage ceilings in the game. Her raw DMG makes her one of the best units in Last Night. Unfortunately, however, her smaller AoEs and lack of utility make her a middling unit in other content.
Character Guide — Elise
Elise is a Physical Fire DPS with the unique utility of having both DEF shred and MRES shred. She also has the niche of being an SP neutral DPS. Her excellent utility is definitely worth taking advantage of.
Character Guide — Sylvia
Sylvia is a Physical Water DPS who doubles as a tank with her damage mitigation abilities. She is capable of punishing attacking foes with her vicious counters. All her costumes combined makes her a formidable character on the battlefield.
Character Guide — Rubia
Rubia is a Physical Fire DPS that with all sorts of damaging skills. She does not need dupes to function, with most of her combat power being locked behind potentials. She struggles however to find content to shine in with the plethora of Fire DPS units in the game.
Fiend Hunt Guide — Parakyr Rex (Wind)
The first Fiend rerun has been revealed, and it is the Parakyr Rex, in an all-new wind coating! Just like its previous version, this fiend deals physical damage to your units, with a single fixed damage skill. Its damage isn't too threatening, but you will want to be careful not to get struck by its conditional kill effect.
This Fiend will be available to hunt on March 7, so get your torches ready!
Character Guide — Justia
Justia is a Physical Light DPS that primarily deals Fixed damage to her enemies, which bypasses most types of mitigation. This makes her the ideal DPS in the PvP mode—Mirror Wars. If you're looking to compete in this mode, you better watch out for Justia.
Character Guide — Angelica
Angelica is a Magic Light DPS that primarily deals damage based on enemy max HP. She also functions as a bruiser, giving herself damage reduction buffs to help mitigate the damage that she takes. If you're looking for a Light DPS for PvE content, she offers some of the easiest ways to deal tons of damage.
Character Guide — Liatris
Liatris is a Physical Fire DPS that specializes in DoT related skills. On top of being able to deal tons of damage, she is able to do so in large AoE's, while stacking lots of chains in the process. There is no doubt that if you're looking for a Physical Fire DPS to invest in, she is currently the best option.
