So you want to know about Tower of Fantasy characters? Known in-game as ‘Simulacra’, these are the new anime game’s collectable personae that you can earn. Sometimes they come as quest rewards, but the main unlock method is through interacting with the myriad of progression systems, events, and the ‘special order’ banners that you’ll recognise from similar open-world games like Genshin Impact.
You might also see characters referred to by their signature Tower of Fantasy weapon. Unlike in Genshin Impact, Tower of Fantasy characters are unlocked the moment you obtain their weapon – you won’t have to draw for both, and you can’t get one without the other. Characters are also separated into SSR and SR tiers – a slightly old-school version of the five and four-star (respectively) system you’ll recognise from elsewhere.
Each character has two character traits that you can unlock by earning awakening points, which are generated by completing character story missions and giving them their favourite gifts. Let’s take a look at all 18 Tower of Fantasy characters available at launch.
SSR Tier Tower of Fantasy characters
There are 13 SSR characters available in Tower of Fantasy right now. These are generally only available as high-tier event rewards or via the Tower of Fantasy banners. Every SSR character has an alternate skin that is unlocked when you progress the Simulacrum to three stars.
