In Mongil Star Dive, characters have either 4-star or 5-star rarity. The latter are the rarer characters to get, but there are some common characters who appear to be quite strong.

- A-tier characters are decent choices to consider since you can't build a team full of S-tier.
- B-tier characters can work well, but you'll need to invest resources in them. The usage scenario for some of them is rather niche.
