Shining Beyond Tier List DecemberUpdate -- Choose Best Characters

Shining Beyond is an MMORPG game developed by XII Braves PTE LTD. The game is an idle-action hybrid. So, players can play the game whenever they want to while also having the option to AFK battle and farm at any given moment. The game features stunning graphics and is the successor of the mobile game Valiant Force.

 

Shining Beyond has some key features that differentiate it from other mobile MMORPGs. Firstly, it is the only mobile MMO that can be played offline in Idle mode. Moreover, the game features real-time Co-Op gameplay so all quests can be completed together. The game has one of the most expansive character customizations of any MMO and has constant in-game events.

 

The MMORPG features a soundtrack by the legendary composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, indicating that the game has no left compromises on audio, video, and gameplay. In this article, we will talk about every character in the game and show you the best characters you should play due to their many advantages.

 

 

Character Classes and Types:

 

Shining Beyond uses the conventional class and type system for their characters. Characters are firstly divided into classes, which indicates their general gameplay style. A character from a particular class has attributes and skills that suit it to a particular style.

 

A tank, for example, always has high HP and a taunt to bring mobs closer to them, while a ranged archer or mage will be quite squishy but will always have huge AoE clear and damage. This class system is taken to the next level in Shining Beyond with a few intricate mechanics.

 

Rank: The Rarity, Grade, and Valiance of a hero are known as its rank. The rarity of characters refers to its default star rating. This can be improved by promoting the character.

 

The grade refers to the default rarity of a character. This affects the min-max area mastery and will never change no matter.
The valiant type will determine whether the particular character is valiant or not.

 

Mastery: The Monastery Mastery is used to refer to how much of a team buff is applied when fighting certain enemies.
Area Mastery refers to the amount of a team buff is applied when in a particular area.

 

Base Stats: All characters belonging to a certain class in the same grade have the same base stats. The only exception to this is Valiants.

 

Warriors:

 

Warriors are the melee DPS class of the game and are also played as the Tank class. However, under most circumstances, they are mainly used for their tank ability.

 

The Warriors have a unique passive called Taunting Slam. When this passive is triggered, all monsters close to the character are aggroed, and the Tank is given extra DEF points. This is very useful when fighting in a raid scenario, and you should use this skill whenever it is off cooldown.

 

Athena is the best warrior tank in the game. You can use her in any scenario, and she will surely pop ahead. Her Penance Aegis can reflect up to 95 percent damage back at the enemy. She also has 5-second invulnerability and has a heal as well.

 

You should use Athena, especially if you are a newer player, as she has many escapes.

 

Rogues:

 

 

Rogues are the main DPS melee class of the game. They have insane burst damage and is arguably the best PvP class as well.

 

All Rogues have a passive called Assault Rush. When this is triggered, all Rogues gain a base SPD increase.

 

The best Rogue in the game is Shizu. She has the highest critical hit chance and damage in the game, and you should always duel with her as much as you can. She also has a powerful attack dodge you can use to your advantage as it lasts 7 seconds.

 

Archers:

 

 

Archers are the primarily ranged DPS class of the game. They do not have many AoE attacks but are quite powerful when it comes to single target skills.

 

All Archers have a passive skill known as Devious Arts. When this skill is triggered, you will have a higher chance of dealing critical damage.

 

The best Archer in the game is Kane Reinholt. He is known for his insane critical damage, while his rogue passive increases his critical damage by a huge amount. However, we recommend that you go for a balanced skill build for him and do not just go for crits as you might need to dish out sustainable damage.

 

Acolytes:

 

 

Acolytes are the main healing class of the game. They have a lot of AoE and single-target heals and is generally quite squishy.

 

All Acolytes have the same passive skill called Holy Smite. When it is triggered, allies heal up to 9 percent for an entire room.

 

The best healer in the game is Lucille. The only reason she is so great is that you can cast an ability called Rebirth on yourself that makes you invulnerable for 7 seconds. She also has good AoE heals and is generally played the most when a healer is required in any team composition.

Best Characters in Shinning beyond

 

Following are the best characters considering the Shinning Beyond

 

Best Warrior –Athena

 

Athena wields dual shields as means of attacking and defending herself. She's an outstanding frontline tank, thanks to her passive and hero skills. Her first Skill, Penance Aegis, deals damage to enemies based on her DEF and buffs herself to reflect a percentage of the damage she takes. At Skill Level 6, this Skill gets the Iron Will effect, preventing Athena's HP from falling below 1 HP.

 

Athena's second Skill is Watchful Protector, which increases her block chance. At Skill Level 6, this Skill further increases the amount of damage it can block by at least 20%.

 

Athena also has two masteries: Arena and Fallen, with effects applied to everyone in the team. Arena Mastery lessens the damage taken by the team. It increases their damage against opponents in the arena, while Fallen Mastery reduces the damage taken by the team and increases their damage against Fallen enemies.

 

 

BEST ROGUE – JENNY

 

Jenny is a high-ranked hero for Adventure quests but falls short on other categories. However, this doesn't mean that she can't be ignored either. Her first Skill, Pangea Impact, deals damage over twice her ATK while also lowering the enemy's ATK Spd down. At Skill Level 6, this Skill grants Jenny the ability to Leech a portion of the damage she dealt while the effect is active.

 

Her second skill, "One More Round!" allows her to replenish her mana, allowing her to use another skill sooner. At Skill Level 6, this Skill creates a shield that prevents a portion of the damage received, based on Jenny's HP.

 

Jenny has two masteries: Tower and Fallen. All masteries reduce the damage taken by the team against enemies on specific battle modes and enemies while also increasing the team's damage against them.

Artemis has two masteries: Arena and Undead.All masteries lessen the team's damage taken against particular battle modes and opponents while expanding the team's damage against them.

BEST ACOLYTE – LUCILLE

 

Lucille has some solid healing abilities and can shield the party. She can also remove enemy buffs if the need arises.

 

Shizu (SSR)

 

Shizu is a great all-around rogue, appearing within the top 7 ranked heroes in all categories in the Hero Rating system. Her first skill, Sakura Torrent, deals damage to an enemy twice her attack rating, with a chance to reduce that skill’s recharge chance. This skill recharge chance will allow her to potentially deal more damage by using the same skill without waiting for the normal cooldown to end. At Skill Level 6, this skill inflicts Plagued on the target as well, reducing the amount of healing it can receive.

Her second skill, Chi of the Miyabi, grants her a high dodge chance for the effect duration. At Skill Level 6, this skill grants Shizu the ability to Leech a portion of the damage she dealt to a target.

Shizu has access to three masteries: Adventure, Event, and Underworld, making her quite versatile in standard team compositions. All masteries reduce the damage taken by the team against enemies on specific battle modes and enemies, while also increasing the team’s damage against them.

 

 

Mei Fang (SSR)

 

Mei Fang is one of the top 5 best heroes to bring in the arena, and belongs to the top 10 characters you can bring to a raid. While she has low damage output, her self-healing and debuffs makes her a reliable frontline ally especially if you have an offensive tank or high DPS ranger in tow. Her first skill, Dragon’s Ascension damages an enemy and reduces the healing that enemy receives while also healing Mei Fang’s HP by the same amount of damage she dealt. At Skill Level 6, this skill will have the chance to silence a target as a third effect.

Her other skill is Dragon’s Spirit which can inflict Fear and force the enemy to move away from her. At Skill Level 6, this skill will be able to remove buffs on a target and prevent it from gaining buffs for a short period.
