Loomian Legacy Story Tier List
Battle Theatre team rankings for Silvent, Heiwa, Sepharite, and Atlanthian — coverage, puzzles, and medal progression.
The story tier list ranks Loomians for Battle Theatre progression and main campaign fights across Roria — not for top ladder PvP alone. Each theatre tests typings Llama Train Studio front-loads into trainer teams: Light and Dark in Silvent, Fire in Heiwa, Cyber and Metal in Sepharite, and Tidal Water doubles in Atlanthian. Use this page alongside Battle Theatre Walkthrough for puzzle context and Type Chart for matchup math.
If you are still on first routes, read Beginner Tier List first to build a party, then return here before spending hours inside a theatre you are underprepared for. Story tiers reward coverage breadth, status answers, and doubles flexibility more than single-species sweepers.
How story tiers differ from PvP tiers
PvP lists from Tier List Hub optimize Personality, UP, TP, and meta cores. Story lists optimize:
- Type answers to theatre themes without perfect rally rolls
- Level efficiency — species that perform at story-level TP spreads
- Puzzle tolerance — some stages need specific typings in party slots, not only battle stats
- Healing economy — bulkier picks reduce potion drain during long gauntlets
- Post-medal utility — A-tier story picks that become PvP flex slots later
Gleaming status never moves story tier. Functional normals from How to Catch Loomians beat sparkling glass cannons.
Silvent Battle Theatre — Light and Dark
Theme: Naya’s Harmony Medal gauntlet emphasizes Light and Dark interactions.
S-tier story picks: Dual-type Loomians that resist Dark while threatening Light, or vice versa. Dark sweepers with safe switch-in HP; Light counters with status or bulk. Twilat-line Dark types remain strong if leveled evenly.
A-tier: Pure Dark or Light attackers with one coverage move learned before entry. Normal pivots that soak non-STAB hits while you heal.
B-tier: Single-type sweepers without opposite-theme coverage — usable if over-leveled but risky when puzzles force type checks.
Prep checklist: Two Dark answers, two Light answers, full heal stock, one status cure set. Cross-check Story Tier List sibling Beginner Tier List if you skipped Dark catches early.
Heiwa Battle Theatre — Fire
Theme: Akio’s Wisdom Medal stacks Fire STAB and burn pressure.
S-tier story picks: Water types with sufficient bulk to survive two Fire hits; Earth-style counters if available on your route progress; defensive pivots with Fire resist typings.
A-tier: Plant attackers with coverage beyond STAB — only if they carry a non-Fire weak move set and you understand switch timing.
B-tier: Fire-type carries you caught for flavor — weak into mirror Fire gauntlets unless leveled far above trainers.
Heiwa teaches that one strong Water is not enough once doubles and multi-hit trainers appear later. Cultivate a backup Fire resist before the leader fight.
Sepharite Battle Theatre — Cyber and Metal
Theme: Faust’s Cyber and Metal battles punish teams built only for classic elements.
S-tier story picks: Species with verified super-effective lines into Metal and Cyber on your account — often Earth, Fire, or specialized mid-game catches from backtracked routes. Check current patch notes on Updates Hub if type edges shifted.
A-tier: Generalists with wide move pools you taught before entry; bulky setups that stall while you chip with coverage.
B-tier: Early-route favorites without Sepharite typings — fine for dex, not for medal attempts.
Sepharite also mixes puzzle rooms. Tier rank does not solve switch-order gates — read walkthrough puzzle sections when battles are easy but doors stay locked.
Atlanthian Battle Theatre — Tidal and Water doubles
Theme: Coraline and Lilian run double battles with Tidal and Water pressure.
S-tier story picks: Paired Water counters that do not share double weaknesses; Tidal answers with spread-move protection; slow pivots that protect a frailer partner slot.
A-tier: Singles-oriented sweepers refit with one spread or protection move for doubles — workable with practice.
B-tier: Six singles carries with no doubles synergy — expect stalls until you bench two weak links and level replacements.
Atlanthian is the capstone story tier test. Arrive with six leveled Loomians, not three over-leveled stars. Doubles targeting breaks teams that cruised Silvent on one starter.
Cross-theatre S-tier utility picks
Some Loomians appear on multiple theatre lists because typings overlap:
- Water lines — Heiwa core, Atlanthian core, general route stability
- Electric speedsters — Outrun trainers in mixed theatres when levels match
- Dark coverage — Silvent essential, Sepharite flex in some teams
- Bulky Normal or dual-resist walls — Reduce item drain in every gauntlet
Invest Rally Ranch Feeds in cross-theatre S-tier roles first if you must choose one species to perfect — see Rally Ranch and Personality and UP tool.
F-tier story traps (avoid as primary carries)
- Duplicate typings with no coverage moves when a theatre hard-counters that type
- Untrained captures under-levelled ten below the gauntlet average
- Status-weak glass teams with no paralysis or sleep answers in long runs
- Roamers or event-only picks you cannot replace mid-theatre if rules KO party members
These are not bad Loomians globally — they are bad primary theatre investments at that progression point.
Building a story roster progression
Suggested theatre order for most campaigns:
- Silvent — Light and Dark coverage from Beginner Tier List picks
- Heiwa — Add or emphasize Water and Earth answers
- Sepharite — Backtrack catches for Metal and Cyber counters
- Atlanthian — Rebuild party for doubles pairs and Tidal typings
Between theatres, grind routes or rally one UP upgrade rather than pushing under-levelled. Tier List Hub PvP video helps if you want roles that double in ranked later.
After medals: story to PvP bridge
Medal rewards unlock vendors and items that feed PvP Team Building. Story S-tier picks often become A-tier PvP with proper Personality — rarely automatic S-tier on ladder without investment.
Gleaming hunters can cosmetic-upgrade story carriers after medals using Gleaming Hunting and LoomiBoosts planner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for trainers exploring Roria.
Which Battle Theatre is hardest for story teams?
Atlanthian doubles with Tidal and Water themes is the capstone test. Sepharite Cyber and Metal puzzles plus typings are the other common wall. Prepare counters before entry.
Do I need Rally Ranch Loomians for story tier clears?
Not for first clears if levels and typings align. Narrow losses benefit from one rallied UP upgrade on your counter rather than only grinding levels.
How many Loomians should I prepare for doubles in Atlanthian?
Six usable partners with paired typings and at least one spread or protection plan. Three over-leveled singles rarely suffice.
Where do Light and Dark counters come from for Silvent?
Dark lines like Twilat and Light-typed route catches from earlier story routes. Backtrack with the How to Catch guide if your party lacks both themes.
Does this story tier list apply to PvP?
Partially. Story tiers emphasize theatre coverage; PvP tiers emphasize meta cores and stat spreads. Use both lists when building hybrid rosters.
