TIER LIST & STARTER BUILDS
SONG TIERS · 75 TRACKS · CARDS · STARTER BUILDS
Two rankings on one page: all 75 catalogued songs tiered by FBD chart level — from the hidden FBD 15 peak down to the FBD 10 floor — and the five demo-verified cards ranked with three starter builds. Song tiers draw on full-game data; card tiers stay demo-based until launch stats are verified.
TIER RANKINGS
S / A / B / CEach tier reflects how reliably a card carries early progression — solo power, team synergy, and how punishing its Blueprint is when you farm mid-tier Iota.
DEMO-BASED RANKINGS — FULL 50-CARD TIER LIST FOLLOWS ONCE FULL-GAME DATA IS VERIFIED
| Tier | Character | Blueprint / Card | Color | Role | Recommended Traits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Nia | Path to Reality | RED | Hybrid offense/defense · Red burst | Inner Concentration++, Opening Surge++ |
| S | Mei | 4AM | BLUE | High Defense · Blue stabilizer | Inner Rigor++, Opening Recovery++ |
| A | Ayame | A Warm Gaze Seeking Others | GREEN | Green sustain · Recovery anchor | Opening Recovery++, Inner Rigor++ |
| A | Iris | Lost Garden of Bonds | YELLOW | Yellow control · Combo setup | Opening Surge++, Inner Concentration++ |
| B | Story | First Drop of Abyss | PURPLE | Purple glass cannon · Limit output | Inner Concentration++, Opening Surge++ |
S — Core Pillars
Cards you build your first serious loadouts around. Strong stat floors, forgiving grids, and traits that scale cleanly into encounter Phases.
Nia — Path to Reality
Nia's red board balances Power and Defense without forcing a glass-cannon layout. Inner Concentration++ turns her Phase into the team's main damage spike; Opening Surge++ adds free opening pressure when you need to punch through a high-Defense phase. She is the default main DPS in every starter build here.
Mei — 4AM
Mei's blue grid favors dense Defense clusters — exactly what keeps Resolve alive through NEAR-heavy charts. Inner Rigor++ multiplies that wall; Opening Recovery++ stacks with her natural bulk for the safest beginner line. Pair her when an encounter rotates blue or when you need a stable third slot.
A — Strong Specialists
Excellent within their lane — recovery, control, or burst support — but narrower than S-tier pillars unless the encounter color lines up.
Ayame — A Warm Gaze Seeking Others
Ayame's green board trades peak Power for sustain traits and safer zone placement. She keeps Full Link runs alive on long charts and softens the cost of one or two penalties. Best third pick when you already have a red carry and need green coverage against purple bosses.
Iris — Lost Garden of Bonds
Iris shines when Resonance timing matters — yellow phases often demand burst windows rather than raw stat totals. Her board accepts aggressive Power layouts, but you must hit EXACT chains to justify the slot. Swap her in for Nia on yellow-heavy encounters once your accuracy is stable.
B — Transitional & Situational
High upside when optimized, but lower default tolerance. Great for veterans who can dodge penalties; risky as a first card.
Story — First Drop of Abyss
Story's purple grid chases maximum Power at the cost of Defense and placement safety. One Falsehood or Disconnect erases the advantage — rewarding for speed runners, frustrating for first clears. Treat her as a spice card until launch blueprints reveal whether the risk is worth it at scale.
C — Unranked Pending Verification
The remaining 45 launch cards are not in the demo. They stay unranked here until release data is verified in the live game.
SONG DIFFICULTY TIERS
75 TRACKS · FBD-ANCHORED · v1.0.5 WIKI DATACard tiers are half the story — most visits start with one question: which charts hurt? Every track in the catalog is banded below by its FBD chart, the game's fourth and steepest difficulty. Six charts now climb above the old summit into S+ (five at FBD 14, one hidden track at FBD 15), fourteen share FBD 13, twenty-four sit at FBD 12, and the widest bands run through FBD 11 and FBD 10. Each row also lists ULT as a second anchor.

S — FBD 13 · THE LAUNCH SUMMIT
The launch-week summit, now a fourteen-chart tier: Chaoticism Legacy, Enigma, Latent Duality, Mémoire, Re:Flection and Vesper at the top of launch — joined by Cold Sea and eight Arc 4 arrivals.

STARTER BUILDS
3 LOADOUTS · DEMO-TESTEDEvery build uses three different Blueprints (loadout max = five cards, but three named boards cover the demo triangle). Test damage and Resolve in the tools before you Integrate expensive Iota.
Build 1 · Balanced Progression
The all-rounder: red burst, blue bulk, and green recovery cover the R→G→P→Y→B cycle's three safest demo colors without overlapping Blueprints.
Pros
Highest overall tolerance — one penalty rarely kills a run. Covers red, blue and green encounters out of the box.
Cons
Lower peak Phase burst than a double-offense line. Yellow and purple bosses need color swaps or NEAR-perfect charts.
Color coverage: Red (Nia) beats green · Green (Ayame) beats purple · Blue (Mei) beats red — classic demo triangle.
Recommended songs: Ghost Ray, Cryogenic, Hyaloüyne — rotate the third card to match each song's dominant phase color.
Build 2 · Burst DPS Overdrive
Stack Phase multipliers on Nia and use Iris for yellow burst windows. Mei stays purely to keep Resolve from hitting zero during setup.
Pros
Highest single-Phase damage in the demo. Resonance × Inner Concentration++ spikes delete boss phases fast.
Cons
Thin margins — BREAKs hurt more and Recovery traits are scarce. Needs Full Link or better on farming routes.
Color coverage: Red + yellow offense with blue anchor. Weak into sustained purple unless you swap Iris for Ayame.
Recommended songs: Ordirehv, à la mode (ULT), Deep Into The Vibe — charts where Resonance timing pays off.
Build 3 · Survival & Recovery
Double Recovery traits and double Defense boards — built for players still learning charts who need Dive Clear over Perfect Dive.
Pros
Best forgiveness: extra Resolve heals and high Defense floors. Ideal first full-link farming setup.
Cons
Slowest kill times. Boss phases take longer; you may time out on DPS checks if accuracy slips anyway.
Color coverage: Blue + green sustain core with Nia handling red phases. Swap Nia out on pure yellow weeks.
Recommended songs: Hyaloüyne, Ghost Ray (MIN/EVO) — long charts where Recovery procs between phases matter most.
RANKING CRITERIA
HOW WE SCORE CARDSDemo tiers are opinionated but grounded in confirmed mechanics — not datamined launch stats. We re-rank everything once all 50 Blueprints are playable.
Base stats — Power & Defense coverage
How much effective Power and Defense the Blueprint delivers at zero penalties with mid-tier demo Iota. Cards that need perfect layouts to reach average totals score lower.
Color matchup flexibility
The R→G→P→Y→B advantage cycle means your loadout's colors must cover upcoming encounter phases. Cards whose color appears often in demo drops and boss rotations rank higher.
Grid tolerance & Trait Slot flexibility
Boards with more Trait Slots and safer blank tiles forgive farming mistakes. We penalize layouts that routinely flirt with Falsehood or need triple-stacked Iota to function.
FAQ
What is the best starter card in In Falsus?
For most players, Nia's Path to Reality (red) is the best starter card: balanced Power and Defense, strong Inner Concentration++ synergy, and she fits every build on this page. Mei (blue) is the best pick if you die often and need survivability first.
How are cards ranked in the In Falsus Tier List?
We rank demo cards on effective stats at low penalties, color coverage against the five-color cycle, and how forgiving each Blueprint grid is when farming mid-tier Iota. Phase burst traits like Inner Concentration++ boost ranking for offense; Recovery traits boost sustain picks.
Can I use duplicate cards in one loadout?
No — a loadout cannot include two cards built on the same Blueprint. You may run up to five different cards total, but each must come from a unique character board (Nia, Mei, Ayame, Iris, Story, etc.).
When will the full 50-card tier list be released?
As soon as the cards can be verified in the live game. The full game launched on 2026-09-09 — this page currently ranks the five demo cards only, and S/A/B/C tiers for all 50 cards follow once their numbers are confirmed in-game, so the rankings are built on real data rather than guesses.
What is the hardest song in In Falsus?
The hidden Arc 4 track '▓' tops the game at FBD 15, with five FBD 14 charts just below: Chronophobia, code:Leviathan, Hollow, PhylaXron and TACTOM. The FBD 13 tier that defined launch week holds fourteen charts, among them Enigma, Chaoticism Legacy and Vesper. Levels follow community full-game data at version 1.0.2c, and the hardest-songs guide walks several launch-era charts frame by frame.
How are the song difficulty tiers ranked?
By FBD chart level — the fourth and steepest of In Falsus's four difficulties. S+ = FBD 14–15, S = FBD 13, A = FBD 12, B = FBD 11, C = FBD 10, with the ULT level shown as a secondary anchor and undocumented charts listed as TBD.
