Overview
Welcome to the re-roll guide for Epic Seven. Now that the game has been out for over 6 months, it is time to reflect and see what are some of the top units you should look out for to get a good start in the game.
How to Re-roll
A progression guide for 2022 is written here if you want an updated version.
The whole re-roll process is really easy. You start the game, go along with the tutorial. Then at stage 1-4, you will get to summon for the first time. You will usually get a 3 star character. You will then want to get to stage 1-10, which will unlock selective summons.
The selective summon will allow you to re-roll up to 30 times, and this will be your chance to get a nice roll to start the game. Ideally, you want to roll a 5 star DPS/Farmer alongside a 4 star healer. That would be the best case scenario. However, you don’t always get it and it can take a long time before you get a roll like that.
The selective summon can only drop the original group of Nat 5 characters:
This whole process to story mode 1-10 takes roughly 30 minutes to complete. So if you are patient and you are willing to do it many times, you will eventually get some decent rolls to start out.
Recommended Character Rolls (5 Stars)
Before we head to the characters recommended, keep in mind to play however you like. These are just recommendations. You can still complete the game without any of these heroes. Some just make your life easier. Also, these recommendations are in no particular order.
Vildred
Uses: Farmer, Banshee 10/11, Azimanak 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
Vildred is the fastest fodder farmer once you get his attack and speed up to a good level. His skill set is setup to trigger multiple AoE attacks in quick succession. His S3 is a strong AoE attack with a rather short animation. His S1 hits 2 enemies at once. His S2 is the passive that activates an AoE attack to all enemies when you kill an enemy. This makes him perfect for farming as long as you can 1 shot a monster.

Arena Cleave
Azimanak Hunt 11
Sez
Uses: Farmer, Banshee 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
Sez is one of the best fodder farmers and raw DPS damage dealer. His S3 is a strong single target attack that deals lots of damage. It then explodes the targeted enemy and spreads the damage to surrounding enemies for AoE damage. His S1 can inflict unhealable debuff and his S2 is a passive that triggers an AoE attack when you damage an enemy to less than 50% health.
He is also a great DPS for the arena (Sez Cleave) and raid on certain bosses, so his use is not just limited to farming. His S3 also has a good damage multiplier when you use soul burn, doing tonnes of damage.

Destina
Uses: Healer, Tank, Abyss, Arena, Guild Wars
Destina is a great tank healer. All 3 of her skills can heal. Her S1 heals an ally with the lowest health. Adding soul burn gives the entire team a nice heal. Her S2 is a single target heal and some combat readiness. Her S3 is a strong team heal + debuff cleanse. The more debuffs she cleanses, the more combat readiness everyone gets.
The only downside is the long cooldown on her S3 (can be solved using Prophet Candlestick). Other than that, she is a solid tank that will help you in all areas of PvE content, particularly Abyss floors where enemies hit like a truck.
In PvP, she is also very strong in end game (Challenger+) against debuffers. For non PvP players, Destina may not be the best pick out of the nat 5 group.
Abyss 80
Ken
Uses: Tank, Farmer, Abyss, Wyvern 10/11, Golem 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
Fire Ken is one of the best bruisers available to you right at the start. He scales well with health, crit rate and crit damage. You can build him as a tanky bruiser or raw damage dealer.
He offers defense debuff, which is one of the best debuffs in the game. Both his first and second skill can apply defense debuff, which is rare. What makes him powerful is that while under his vigor buff, his defense debuff cannot be resisted, which makes him viable against water units!
His third skill gives him vigor buff for 4 turns, stuns the enemy and applies attack down debuff. His kit is too good to pass up especially for carrying you to late game.
The only downside is that Ken needs to gain fighting spirit before being able to use his skill 3.

Iseria
Uses: Abyss, Banshee 10/11, Golem 10/11, Azimanak 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
Lady Iseria is more of a utility DPS support that improves everyone on your team. Her first skill applies defense break, her second skill resets ally cooldown, allowing them to use their most powerful skills again.
Her third skill dispels enemy buff, applies defense break and anti-buff debuff. It is one of the best skills in the game alongside her skill 2. Her skillset is pretty much future proof and cannot be power-creeped.
Some example deadly combos in game are Iseria + Tamarinne, Iseria + Dark Corvus or Iseria + Watcher Schuri.
Banshee 11
Legend PvP Arena
Tywin
Uses: Raid, Abyss, Wyvern 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
Tywin was not popular until it got buffed and his skill 3 now has 100% chance to defense break groups of enemies. With him being a Knight with AoE and he can hold Aurius, Tywin brings a lot of utility to your team. He can also dispel buff on his skill 1.
His skill 2 is a bit unique and can be used for boosting slow but hard hitting attackers to the front. It gives them an attack buff + critical rate buff, then boosts their combat readiness, allowing them to go next. This allows you to build a very strong attacker and focus on attack and critical damage stat. Any big nuker like Ludwig or Sez will benefit from this. They are built slow and high damage to take advantage of this.
PvP Cleave (alongside Ludwig)
And last but not least, he is one of the few characters that can allow you to 3 man Wyvern 11.

Recommended Character Rolls (4 Stars)
Angelica
Uses: Healer, Tank, Abyss, Wyvern 10/11, Golem 10/11, Banshee 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
A great healer (I will say she carries pretty much any unit on your team) that offers debuff immunity. Once you get her, your life in PvE becomes so much easier. Her S1 can stun an enemy, which is useful in some situations such as the Abyss towers where monsters have a lot of damage and a clutch stun helps prevent you from taking damage. Her S2 is a strong heal that can target up to 2 allies.
Her most useful skill is definitely her S3. It provides a 2 turn team debuff immunity + barrier and heal. When you soul burn it, the debuff immunity becomes 4 turns. When you skill enhance it to get the -1 cooldown, her skill cooldown becomes 4 turns, pretty much giving you full debuff immunity at ALL times. This is invaluable in PvE content.
She used to be a top unit to re-roll for, but with the emergence of Angelic Montmorancy, she is not a must have.
Check her out in Wyvern 11 and Abyss:
Cidd
Uses: Farmer, Banshee 10/11, Golem 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
Cidd is a beast as a strong single target damage dealer. What makes him shine is his insane potential to one shot enemies in the arena and get extra turns for killing someone. Most people don’t know about his potential so you want to build him up early on as your fodder farmer + arena offense member. Like Vildred, he scales with speed and attack.
His S1 grants him attack speed when he crits. His S2 is a passive that grants him defense debuff + bonus damage on his S1. His S3 is a single target burst damage that gives him an extra turn if he kills the enemy. The thing is his S3 will give him elemental advantage WHEN he as the speed buff. That means he can kill fire units easily when the speed buff is up.
He does really well with Roozid, Yuna or Silk since they offer speed buffs. The good thing is all of these units are obtainable for F2p!
Cut N Slice Arena
Clarissa
Uses: Farmer, Wyvern 10/11, Banshee 10/11, Azimanak 10/11, Arena, Guild Wars
Clarissa is a bit underrated and not talked about much compared to Cidd or any of the 4 star healers. She is like the budget version of Sez. She does not do as much single target damage as Sez, but she provides a lot of AoE and utility with her bleeding stacks.
Her S1 provides defense debuff, which is very useful in all areas of the game. Her S2 is a passive that gives her enraged buff (30% attack + speed increase buff) and an additional AoE attack when she kills an enemy. Her S3 is an AoE attack that applies 1 bleed stack to the enemy. She is viable as a fodder farmer once you get her attack and crit rate up to a decent level. She also shines in the arena with her kill reset AoE damage. She can also be part of your Wyvern team with her defense debuff and bleed stacks.
Arena Cleave
Achates
Uses: Healer, Tank, Abyss, Wyvern 10/11, Golem 10/11
Achates is a support healer with spammable skills on low cooldowns. Her S1 can apply attack down debuff, which reduces enemy damage output. Her S2 provides barrier (invincibility when upgraded) to an ally. This is a life saver in certain situations when you want to save an ally from dying. The downside is that the heal is very low.
Her S3 is by far her best skill. A 3 turn (when skill enhanced) AoE cleanse + decent heal will give you team consistent heals. She does well as a frontline tank healer or a backline support. She shines in Abyss where she prevents exploding mushrooms killing your team.
Achates in Abyss
Notable 3 Stars
While you will get them eventually after playing the game for a while, it is useful to have them early on to help speed up your early game progress.
Montmorancy
With her recent specialty change, she is a very good option as a cleanser and support healer if you are unable to get Angelica. She has high base defense and can help cleanse debuffs efficiently, especially after you specialty change her to Angelic Montmorancy.
When you get to higher Abyss Floors, debuff immunity becomes valuable and she can help fill that void to help you there.
F. Kluri
Falconer Kluri lost some of her value since the nerf, but she is still viable early game to help you progress in the game. Her dispel, defense break and provoke doesn’t do damage, so it won’t miss against ice units, but it will still need to go through the resistance check. That means she can strip buffs, apply defense break and provoke key units for 2 turns, which is very valuable still, especially early game and Abyss.
Hazel
If you need an attack buffer, particularly for fire units, then she fits the role. She can heal, apply heal block and provide attack buff. The specialty changed Hazel can give greater attack buff, which is good if you have a strong fire DPS.
Lena
Lena is a useful water DPS that can help you farm just like Vildred. She has a short skill 3 animation and her skill 2 gives you 65% base crit rate when maxed. That makes her easy to build -> stack critical damage to 300% with about 2.5k+ attack and she can one shot a lot of non wind monsters.
The only downside is that she can’t farm wind maps as efficiently. Definitely a budget farmer.
Chaos Sect Axe
One of the best ML nat 3 you can summon from your ML bookmarks. His specialty change makes him one of the best attackers/bruisers you can have in your team. Since he is dark, he won’t “miss”. He also has defense break, attack down debuff and bleed in his kit.
While all these nat 3 units aren’t game breaking, they do help you in your journey to end game.
Conclusion
Hope these picks were able to help you make a firm decision on who you choose to re-roll and start with. Either way, enjoy the game and try not to stress over who is the best and just play it however you would like.
