The purpose of this page is to rank all companions in Monster Girl Quest! Paradox RPG based on their strength of efficacy in battles. Characters are ranked on a descending order from S to D. Within the same tier, characters near the top are considered (relatively) more effective or powerful than those below them. The "overall ranking" includes all companions, while the "ranking by race" contains only companions pertaining to that race (only a character's initial race is taken into consideration when assigning them into a specific race ranking).
Keep in mind that all companions are viable, as it is possible to beat the game with any party combination, be it composed of companions considered to be low or high tier. Therefore, do not be distraught if your favorite companion finds itself in a lower tier compared to others; it is still possible to have success with them in battles.
If you want a ranking specifically to delve deep into Paradox's endgame that is the Labyrinth of Chaos, we suggest consulting this list instead. The rankings on this page apply for the main game but also for the early stages of the Labyrinth of Chaos. In the deeper layers of the Labyrinth of Chaos, however, due to the phenomenon of stat inflation affecting both companions and enemies, different approaches become crucial for taking down opponents. For a guide about general and valuable strategies to use in battles, refer to this article.
Users are encouraged to update the tier lists on this article by adding new companions into the tier they think they fall in, altering the position of companions who are already present in the rankings, or adding descriptions about existing companions. Changes should ideally be justified based on in-game data and with one's experience with the character. In case of disagreement with other users, consensus should be sought in the comments section.
To add new sprites to this article, please use this link (will need to be updated once part 3 is released). Be aware that some sprites contained in that link can be considered spoiler material as they have not yet appeared in the game. Save the image containing the sprite that needs to be added, open the image in Paint, select and save only the character's neutral stance an then post it here. Sometimes the neutral stance sprite is too close to other sprites, and in that case just zoom in and if necessary use the eraser in Paint to remove parts of other sprites that may get in the way. Alternatively, decrypt the game's .exe file using this program, then go to Graphics\Characters. All sprites, with their respective names, should be there.

Overall ranking
SS Rank:
(Part 2. With access to the rare Queen Succubus race, innate double action, the Nightmare trait, +30% and +50% bonus damage with Sexcraft and Pleasure skills respectively, +100% bonus damage to foes afflicted with Sleep or Pleasure ailments, in addition to an excusive acessory (Succubus Smile) that activates at the start of every battle and has a chance of causing all foes to be affected by the Sleep/Horny/Trance status ailments, Est is an incredible defensive and offensive powerhouse that can fit into any team without any drawbacks).
S Rank:
(Part 2. The best offensive spell caster. Gilgorn's White Magic, Black Magic, Time Magic and Dark skills all activate twice and deal +50% damage. She has access to three exclusive Black Magic skills: Hero Killing (an SS 1800% single target Dark skill with a 75% chance of causing Death), Worldbreaker (an SSS 2400% Galactic skill which hits all enemies) and Meteor Eclipse (an SSS 2400% Fire skill which also hits all foes). In addition, Gilgorn is very durable with +50% Magic and Physical resistance. Her exclusive equipment sends her stats, particularly her Magic, HP and Willpower, through the roof. Ruling Crown, her exclusive Head equipment, activates "Encouragement" at the start of every battle, increasing all allies' Attack and Dexterity by 50%. On the other hand, Sheep-Sama, her exclusive accessory, recovers the HP of all party members by a small amount at the end of each turn. Gilgorn's main weakness is Pleasure, to which she takes +500% additional damage. To circumvent this, avoid bringing her near succubuses and other enemies who commonly use Pleasure skills).
A+ Rank:
(Part 2. +50% damage with Axe skills and increased damage with Axe skills based on how low her HP is makes Demon Cow Queen the best Berserker in the game, easily achieving critical hits that cause hundreds of thousands of damage without any external buffs. Maximizing the Attack stat on her and disregarding the rest is the way to go).
(Part 2. With Snake skills executing thrice and scaling off of her Defense stat, Yamata no Orochi excels both at being a physical damage dealer and a physical tank. Her exclusive skill "Yamata Head Smash" damages enemies 8 times in a single casting, for a total of 24 instances of damage due to her Unique Trait, with each hit being able to critically strike and apply negative status ailments).
A Rank:
(Part 1. Mina functions exactly the same way as Cow Demon Queen does, the only difference being that she has a slightly lower damage bonus with Axe skills (30% opposed to 50%). She is undoubtedly one of the best characters and damage dealers in part 1. Prioritize her Attack stat above all else).

D Rank:
(Part 1. Panty Sensei's Unique Trait brings him no advantage in battles whatsoever, and the Human race severely limits what he can do).
(Part 1. Though Scat Captain possesses +20% Hit and +30% Evasion, a non-removable 20% chance of playing around in battles instead of following orders makes him one of the riskiest characters to use while bringing no compensating advantages to your team. If one wishes to stack evasion on a character, one is better off using Pyhar).
