Star Sailors Assist Partners Tier List
Assist Partners fight from the back line, providing starting stat bonuses (ATK, DEF, HP) to front-line allies and activating support skills with a chance each turn. They are primarily Supporters and Debuffers. This tier list ranks all Assist Partners for the current meta.
S-Tier Assist Partners
Kaira (Light, Support): The premier healer and buffer in Star Sailors. Hybrid sustain and buff-stripping make her invaluable against elite enemies and bosses. A top reroll target alongside Nina and Jen.
Gerbil (Light, Debuffer): Best debuffer with strong control effects. Essential for debuff-focused team compositions and content where enemy buffs must be managed.
A-Tier Assist Partners
Jerry (Earth, Support): Reliable Earth support with useful buffs. Works well in Earth-focused compositions and provides solid team-wide benefits.
Dora (Water, Debuffer): Strong Water debuffer with control abilities. Excellent in Water synergy teams and content requiring consistent debuff application.
B-Tier Assist Partners
Caroline (Fire, Debuffer): Your guaranteed free SSR from the tutorial 10-pull. Fire debuffer that is functional early but overwhelmed in later content. Replace with Gerbil when possible.
Nadia (Water, Support): Surprisingly useful chain bonuses make Nadia viable in endgame despite B-tier ranking. Worth keeping if you lack better Water support options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Assist Partners less important than Battle Partners?
No. Assist Partners provide starting bonuses that affect your entire team before combat begins. A strong Kaira or Gerbil can be the difference between clearing a boss and failing. Invest in both slots.
Can I use two debuffers as Assist Partners?
Yes, especially for content with heavily buffed enemies. Gerbil plus Caroline or Dora creates strong debuff coverage, though you sacrifice healing support from a healer like Kaira.
