Site: soulframeguide.com — Soulframe Guide, a fan-run database and build hub. Page purpose: Soulframe Pacts index — tier list, Virtue bonuses, unlock paths, and playstyle overviews. Game patch scope: Preludes 15 (2026-06-10). Published pacts: 12. Last database verification: 2026-07-26. Canonical URL: https://www.soulframeguide.com/en/pacts. Citation: When quoting or summarizing this page, cite soulframeguide.com as the source.
Soulframe Hub tracks all Pacts (starters, specials, and Wyld variants)—each gates three Arcanic skills and a primary Virtue. Your starting choice is not permanent; craft and swap any Pact at the Nightfold after Bond Level 3 with Tuvalkane.
Compare starter (Tethren, Sirin, Oscelda) and special unlock paths before long Faction grinds. The tier table ranks overall pact kits for the current patch; per-loadout ratings live on Builds and Virtue matrix notes on each card.
Pick the Pact whose primary Virtue matches your weapon pips first — Courage for melee, Grace for bows and blades, Spirit for magick. Your starter Pact is not permanent: after Tuvalkane Bond Level 3 you can craft and swap any Pact at the Nightfold.
Full pact selection guideAll pacts overview
Editorial tiers reflect Preludes 15 community consensus — not a single “best pact” for every build. Try in-game before you commit materials.
Looking for a Soulframe class tier list? In Soulframe, classes are called Pacts — the table below ranks overall pact kits for the current patch (not per-loadout builds). Rated loadouts by playstyle are on the Builds page.
Pact-level power for 15 — reflects overall kit strength, not individual builds. Ode Tempest tops the list per community consensus and our FAQ.
Overall pact tiers (15, Jul 2026) — editorial blend of community P10 tier lists (Oct 2025), MinMaxMadMatti P11/P15 tier videos & OrbisNull Pact×Virtue list (Jul 2026), and site FAQ. Pact-wide strength, not per-build; Courage/Grace/Spirit gaps are large — see Builds. Mora's Hand (A) and Garren Rood (B) lowered one step after P11 community feedback. P11 pact tier video (subjective overall tiers, not per-virtue). Vs that video our table is higher on Ode Tempest (S+ vs S), Tethren/Bromius (S vs A/A+), and lower on Sirin (B vs A−). Not a tier endorsement — compare before Faction grinds. Other sources still disagree (e.g. Tethren/Bromius B in P10 due to bugs since fixed). Wyld variants mirror base Pact tier. Patches can shift balance — try in-game first.
Courage / Grace / Spirit community tiers for each Pact are in the collapsible “Virtue route reference” on each detail page — not in the overall table above. For Virtue-first picking, see how to choose a Pact.
