Soulframe Pact Tier List (Preludes 15)
Community-informed Pact tier list for Soulframe Preludes 15: Gods & Ghosts — solo, group, and Wyld variant notes for all twelve Pacts.
How We Rank Pacts
This tier list reflects Preludes 15: Gods & Ghosts balance as of July 2026 community testing — not permanent meta. Digital Extremes adjusts Virtue scaling, Smite coefficients, and ghost-type damage modifiers frequently during pre-alpha. Rankings weigh solo progression, Agari farming efficiency, Cogah hard mode utility, and Torment Stag reliability.
Wyld variants share a base Pact identity but shift stat budgets. We note Wyld placements inline where they diverge meaningfully from standard forms. No Pact is uninstallable; lower tiers indicate higher gear or skill requirements for the same content.
S Tier — Meta Anchors
Tethren dominates Courage-forward Smite content after ghost enemy tuning made parry chains more rewarding. Sirin offers Spirit tools that trivialize spectral sight segments while maintaining solid group DPS. Oscelda's Grace mobility reduces Torment Stag wipe rates for learning groups.
These Pacts excel with modest Virtue investment and common weapon types, making them ideal first picks for Founders onboarding friends through friend codes.
- Tethren — Smite burst, ghost boss phases
- Sirin — Spirit scaling, spectral puzzles
- Oscelda — Grace mobility, support survivability
A Tier — Strong Specialists
Ode Tempest remains an A-tier AoE farmer for Agari windows when built with hybrid Courage and Spirit. Several Wyld variants sit here when their ghost passives align with Gods & Ghosts quests. Pacts in A tier often match S tier in expert hands but require tighter Virtue planning or weapon specificity.
B and C Tier — Niche or Investment-Heavy
Lower-tier placements in Preludes 15 usually indicate reliance on rare Talismans, unfinished ability animations, or Virtue spreads that conflict with current ghost resist tables — not fundamental design failure. Pact comparison tool users should simulate Virtue totals before rerolling away from a B-tier favorite.
Expect this list to move after hotfixes. Cross-reference the all-pacts builds guide and Devstream patch notes when a hotfix mentions Pact ability coefficients.
