MAke Drama: MAD tier list — the short answer

In this MAke Drama MAD tier list, the best characters right now are Ines, Victoria, Estelle, Charlotte, Bianca and Yuria — the six S-tier picks in gacha.gg's October 15, 2026 list, which takes the middle ranking from four community tier lists. Just below them, Jennie, Lucia, Mane, Lumina, Rona and Lafine make up A tier. The full S–D ranking of all 47 characters is in the table above.

These are community rankings, not official ones, and some of the underlying lists are based on the Korean server, which is ahead of the global release published by Wemade Connect.

Best characters by role

Role Top picks Notes
Healer Ines, Lucia, Lumina Ines also Charms an enemy onto your side
DPS Victoria, Estelle, Yuria, Bianca Bianca mixes offence with a self-shield and self-heal
Buffer Charlotte, Reanna Charlotte's ATK buffs scale with her own ATK
Tank Jennie, Rona Both cycle shields on themselves
Support Lafine Crit buffs and debuff removal

A balanced early team usually wants a healer, a tank and damage. Ines stands out because she heals and takes an enemy out of the fight at the same time; Twinfinite calls her the best healer in the game.

Where the tier lists disagree

The rankings broadly agree at the top, but not everywhere:

  • Bianca is S tier on gacha.gg and Twinfinite, but A tier on Treyex Gaming's list.
  • Rona is A tier on gacha.gg and Treyex, but only B on Twinfinite.
  • Reanna is B on gacha.gg and Treyex, while Twinfinite rates her A as one of the best buffers.
  • Treache and Rana sit in C on some lists and D on others.

Treat a one-tier difference as "close enough" and pick the character who fills the role your team is missing.

Elements and team building

The Google Play listing says teams are built around elemental advantages and character synergies. According to Twinfinite, elements follow a cycle — Purple → Blue → Red → Green → Purple — with each element dealing 30% more damage to the next one. You can spot a character's element from the colour of her backdrop.

That's why lower-tier characters still matter: Twinfinite notes C- and D-tier units can fill elemental combinations, covering a stage where your S-tier core is at a disadvantage.

Rerolling and pulling

Characters only come from the gacha. Twinfinite reports a single pull costs 120 gems and a multi-pull 1,200 gems, with a guaranteed 3-star character after 200 pulls on the normal banner.

If you reroll, a sensible target is one S-tier healer (ideally Ines) plus one S-tier damage dealer or Charlotte. Set a limit before you start: a couple of S-tier units is enough to progress, and the meta shifts with new characters and balance patches anyway.

Korean server vs. global

Treyex Gaming warns its combined list is based on the Korean server, so some characters, skills and balance may differ from the global version. Before spending scarce resources, read the skill text in your own client, and keep variants apart — Mane (A tier) and Mane (Swimsuit) (D tier) are separate units, as are Claire and Claire (Swimsuit).
