If you want to build the strongest possible team in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, knowing every SSR Legendary character is your first priority. These are the rarest, most powerful heroes in Netmarble's open-world action RPG, and at launch the game features exactly eight of them. Some are locked behind limited banners, others are available permanently, and one is even handed to you for free. Here is everything you need to know about each one.
What Are SSR Characters in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin?
In The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, the gacha system divides characters into two rarity tiers: SR (Hero) and SSR (Legendary). SSR units sit at the top of that hierarchy. They come with more fleshed-out skill kits, higher base combat potential, and in most cases, unique elemental abilities that SR characters simply cannot replicate.
At global launch, the roster includes 8 SSR characters in total. That number is expected to grow as Netmarble releases future updates and new banners. Because SSR units cost more resources to summon, knowing which ones to target first is critical for efficient progression.

One SSR character, Guila, is available as a free reward during the launch period. Claim her before spending any premium currency so you start with a confirmed SSR in your roster.All 8 SSR Legendary Characters Listed
Here is the complete breakdown of every SSR character available in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin at launch, including their weapon types, elements, and banner availability.
danger
Banner availability is based on launch information. Limited banners like Meliodas's rotate out, so prioritize pulling him when his banner is active rather than waiting.
Meliodas
Meliodas is the protagonist of the original Seven Deadly Sins anime and the first limited SSR character in 7DS Origin. As a demon prince, he brings the Darkness element to the battlefield and functions as a primary DPS. His signature ability, Full Counter, reflects damage back at enemies, making him both offensively and defensively valuable.
Meliodas can equip a Longsword, Axe, or Dual Swords, giving him flexibility in how you build his loadout. His kit revolves around chain attacks and rapid combos that stack up damage quickly against single targets.

Diane
Diane, the giant warrior and Sin of Envy, is a powerhouse DPS available through the permanent banner. She draws on the Earth element to summon rocks and deliver attacks that pierce through enemy defenses, making her especially effective against tanky opponents.
Her weapon options include the Axe, Gauntlets, and Cudgel, all of which favor heavy, high-impact strikes. If you are looking for a reliable permanent-banner SSR to build your team around, Diane is one of the top candidates.
King
King, also known as Harlequin and the Sin of Sloth, fills a support and buffer role. He wields Grimoires, Wands, and Staffs to cast spells from range, and his kit focuses on buffing allies and deploying barriers to absorb incoming damage. Like Diane, he is available from the permanent banner at launch.
Pairing King with Diane is particularly effective since his barriers protect her while she closes the distance on enemies.
Elaine
Elaine is Harlequin's sister and the legendary guardian of the Fountain of Youth. She is a support-oriented SSR character available on the permanent banner. Her kit leans into healing and protective abilities, making her a strong anchor for teams that need sustain in longer boss encounters across Britannia.
Jericho
Jericho is a former Holy Knight who turned away from the kingdom. She governs the Cold element and specializes in freezing targets to control the battlefield. Her crowd-control potential makes her valuable in both PvE encounters and tougher content where locking down enemies buys your team critical time.
Guila
Guila is the Vice Grandmaster of the Kingdom of Liones and one of the most skilled Holy Knights in the roster. She is a DPS-focused SSR character and the only one confirmed to be obtainable completely free as part of the global launch rewards. Every player should claim her before pulling on any banner.
info
Guila being free does not make her weak. As a launch-reward SSR, she is designed to be immediately useful for new players tackling early and mid-game content.
Drake
Drake is the king of the Dracos and commands the Lightning element. He is a damage dealer whose electric-based kit is built for aggressive offensive play. His Draco heritage gives him a distinct identity separate from the Holy Knight and Sins characters that dominate the rest of the roster.
Mannie
Mannie is the Draco priestess and the only SSR character at launch who focuses specifically on applying Damage over Time (DoT) effects and debuffs. She governs the Darkness element alongside Meliodas, but her playstyle is fundamentally different, built around whittling down enemies over time rather than burst damage.
How Do You Obtain SSR Characters in 7DS Origin?
SSR characters in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin are obtained through the gacha banner system. There are three main banner types to understand:
- Limited Banner: Features a specific SSR character for a limited time. Meliodas is the first character on a limited banner. Once it ends, he will not be available until a rerun.
- Permanent Banner (New Encounters): Features Diane, King, Elaine, Jericho, Drake, and Mannie as part of the standard permanent pool. You can pull on this at any time.
- Beginner Banner (Call of the Stars): A dedicated early-game banner designed to help new players secure their first SSR more efficiently.
- Free Reward:Guila is distributed as a launch reward and does not require any pulls.
The game also features a pity system, which guarantees an SSR unit after a certain number of pulls without receiving one. Prioritize spending your premium currency on the limited Meliodas banner first, since permanent-pool characters remain accessible indefinitely.
warning
Do not spend all your resources on the permanent banner before the limited Meliodas banner ends. Limited characters are the hardest to get back once their banner expires.
What's the Best SSR Team Composition?
With eight SSR characters to work with, the strongest general-purpose team at launch pairs a primary DPS with a support and a crowd-control unit. Based on the available kit information:
- Best DPS options: Meliodas (if obtained), Diane, Guila
- Best support: King, Elaine
- Best crowd control: Jericho
- Best DoT/debuff: Mannie
A well-rounded team might look like Diane as the main damage dealer, King providing buffs and barriers, and Jericho freezing priority targets. If you have Meliodas, he slots in as the primary DPS ahead of Diane due to his limited-banner exclusivity and higher individual ceiling.
For players who want to push into harder Britannia content quickly, building around Guila (free), King (permanent), and Diane (permanent) is the most accessible path that does not require limited-banner luck.
