The Magus Circle Character Tier List
Six playable mages, ranked on published kits — not rumor passives.
The Magus Circle shows six playable mages on a 0.4.6 select screen: Milk, Matcha, Coffee, Chicha, Rum, and Anchan. This character tier list ranks them on what is printed, not on a fanfic heal. Steam lists 24 September 2026. The Next Fest demo opened on 23 February 2026. Letters will move.
The game is single-player. You are not drafting a team. A “tier” here means “how ready is this kit for a player who still fails circles.” Deep pages: Milk, Matcha, Rum. Overview: mages hub.
Preview S
Milk. Full tooltip. Nimble: speed and mana on a close evade. Bunny Form: 3 seconds, +25% move speed, 50% smaller, 25-second cooldown. She is the protagonist the studio put in a short, and she is the only mage whose survival loop matches the drawing verb. If you are new, she is S. If you already draw like a tablet masochist, she is still S because near-miss mana feeds Ice Spear. See her build guide.
Preview A
Rum. Magus General. Spellblade signature, crit-focused, blades per mana, shatter-on-crit upgrade, parry upgrade, prestige names Drenal, Ido, Lonlight Chakras. A instead of S for first-timers because the kit wants you close. A for anyone who finished a Milk run and wants a defined combat fantasy. Rum’s page is the spellbook.
Matcha. Unlocked on the rail, official Meet Matcha short, tea-room hub screenshot. A for identity and availability. Not S because the combat passive is not printed like Milk’s. Play her to learn it; do not download a fake kit. Matcha guide.
Preview B
Coffee. Playable portrait and a mansion speaker with the line about tools and a cauldron that is not a cauldron. Green skin, sun emblem. B because we have personality and no numbers. Still worth a run once Ice Spear is comfortable.
Chicha. On the rail, green-gold sprite, no public tooltip in the materials this wiki used. B for “exists.” Promote when a card is quoted.
Anchan. Blue horned mage, locked at 25 currency in the screenshot. Combat footage of a similar caster drawing a purple circle is likely this kit. B for access cost plus missing tooltip. Spend 25 after you can finish sigils, not before.
Not a mage
Odds is a fedora bookie in the mansion bar. Wagers, bottles, gems. Not a seventh character. Curio is named in the Next Fest thank-you as extra sass in the hub. Do not put either on this list.
How to pick for a real session
- First session: Milk. Getting Started.
- Second session: Rum if you want blades, Matcha if you want the tea-room face.
- Third session: Coffee or Chicha as a blind kit test. Write down the tooltip.
- Anchan when you have 25 and a finished Ice Spear or Riptide. Spell tier list.
- Always: one glyph you can draw. How to draw spells.
Challenges after victories (10+ unique) should wait until the mage is not the problem. Leviathans punish standing still on every face — how to beat bosses.
Tarot is not a character rank
Empress speed, Priestess regen, Emperor duration, Magus Bunny Form — those are purchases in the Magus Mansion, covered on how to play and the upgrade tier list. They can make a B mage feel like A for one run. They do not reprint Anchan’s kit.
Demo versus 24 September 2026
Six characters was a Korea-trip claim that the select screen later showed. Launch could add faces or shuffle locks. Festival recap: Next Fest. Demo notes: demo guide. Calendar: release date. Specs: system requirements. Store and Discord: Links.
If two streamers disagree on Matcha, believe the in-game card. This list will not invent a winner to settle a comment section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Why is Matcha A if we lack a passive?
She is unlocked, featured, and playable. A means ready to take into a run, not a fake heal kit. Read Matcha.
Is Anchan bad?
Unknown kit, 25-currency lock in a demo screenshot. B for access, not for damage. See the mages hub.
Can I rank a team composition?
No. The Magus Circle is single-player. One mage per Tide. Hub NPCs are not party members.
Where are spell ranks?
On the spell tier list. Upgrade types are on the upgrade tier list.
