Silver Palace Tier List: Best Characters in CBT2

Silver Palace’s Dichotomy CBT2 ran from July 23 to August 13, 2026, giving players their first extended chance to test the expanded roster and see which characters truly stood out in the current environment. With CBT3 already confirmed but its start date still unannounced, now is a good time to look back at how the roster performed before the next round of testing begins.

From dominant carries like Cinderella to high-value supports such as Red Rose, here is our latest Silver Palace CBT2 character tier list and a closer look at the characters leading the meta.

 

Silver Palace CBT2 Character Tier List

With Silver Palace’s second closed beta giving players a much clearer look at combat, character kits, team building, and equipment, the early meta is finally starting to take shape. This tier list focuses on actual CBT2 performance, weighing damage ceiling, support value, mechanical completeness, ease of use, team synergy, and how well each character can take advantage of the current equipment system. Since Silver Palace is still in beta, balance can change before launch, but these characters currently stand out the most.

Red Rose	"Cinderella"
T0.5
The Detective	Bentham	Gucia
T1
Rex	Captain Kaboom	Argos	Alf

T3

T0 Characters Breakdown

Cinderella

Cinderella earns T0 because almost every part of the current game works in her favor. Her raw numbers are excellent, while Quenched gives her a 12-second enhanced window with stronger attacks, wide coverage, grouping, and a massive built-in CRIT advantage. Thermal Rampage alone grants 35% CRIT Rate during Quenched, with additional nodes pushing her self-buffing potential even further. More importantly, her resources continuously feed into one another—Vengeful Flame enables Re-Smelt, Re-Smelt builds Overheat, and Overheat converts into powerful Charged Attacks—creating an extremely efficient damage loop. Her team and gear ecosystem is also unusually complete, with Red Rose, Embers and Flame, and her dedicated Cinderella Epiphany all directly amplifying what she already does best.

Red Rose

Red Rose is arguably the easiest top-tier support to get meaningful value from. Her rotation is straightforward, while the payoff is enormous: entering Bright Rhythm and using the enhanced attack grants the entire team 50% CRIT DMG for 40 seconds, long enough to cover multiple DPS windows. Her Rose Blooms also raise team Ignis DMG by up to 15%, making her particularly absurd beside Cinderella. In actual CBT2 combat, her attacks have excellent reach and forgiving target acquisition, so she can comfortably connect from distances where many characters need to reposition. Combined with her mobility, frequent safety during attacks, universal CRIT support, strong Ignis synergy, and an equipment setup that can stack even more team CRIT DMG, she delivers huge value without demanding complicated execution.

 

T0.5 Characters Breakdown

The Detective

Munin is an extremely complete Gravitas Striker DPS with strong combo damage, built-in parrying, excellent Perfect Dodge punishment, and a smooth Ammunition-to-Gravity Overdrive loop. Her Ultimate also creates a Gravity Field that helps control enemies during longer strings. She falls slightly short of T0 mainly because Gravitas currently lacks the same fully developed support ecosystem that Cinderella enjoys.

Bentham

Bentham punches well above her 4-star rarity as a dedicated Glacies Resonance DPS. Her Charged Attack loop builds both Resonance and Ultimate charge efficiently, while Set Schedule boosts her Amplitude scaling and causes Glacies Resonance Effects to deal additional hits. With equipment directly supporting Amplitude Coefficient and Multiplier, her ceiling is excellent, although she is more team- and build-dependent than the T0 carries.

Gucia

Gucia reaches T0.5 through specialized but extremely valuable Resonance support. Her Ultimate grants the entire team 10% Amplitude Coefficient for 40 seconds, while Academite can provide another Amplitude Coefficient increase to an incoming Tactical Assault user. She can also reduce enemy Alba RES, making her especially potent for Resonance-focused compositions rather than conventional CRIT-based Striker DPS teams.

 

Conclusion

Silver Palace’s CBT2 has already given us a much clearer picture of the current meta, with Cinderella and Red Rose standing out at the very top. That said, CBT3 could still bring balance changes, new characters, and fresh team options, so the rankings may shift again.
