Frequently Asked Questions
How are characters ranked in the tier list?
Our tier list evaluates characters based on endgame performance, team synergy value, and overall account impact. We consider damage output, utility, ease of use, and how well a character enables other team members. Rankings are based on community consensus and testing.
Why is a support ranked higher than a DPS?
Supports like Sakiri provide team-wide buffs that multiply the effectiveness of your entire team. A support that enables top-tier DPS output can have more account impact than a selfish DPS with mediocre numbers. Tier lists value overall contribution over raw damage.
Will the tier list change with new patches?
Yes. Balance patches, new characters, and new content modes can shift rankings. We update the tier list after each major patch and whenever significant balance changes occur. Check the update date at the top of the page.
Should I only use S-Tier characters?
No. A-Tier and B-Tier characters are viable for all content with proper builds and team compositions. Tier lists reflect optimal performance, not viability. Build the characters you enjoy playing - skilled play often matters more than tier ranking.
