What Each Tier Means
S: The strongest as of update 8.5! A balanced team consisting of these units will see you through to effortless victory. Their skills and passives are unlike any other, expressing strong team synergy and adaptability to combat.
A: Those in this tier are great alternatives for your team if you want some variety, or simply don’t mesh with my top-tier picks. They’re good at controlling the battlefield and are dependable allies.
B: Nestled into the middle tier, it’d be easy to think these units are mid. But, you’d be far from the truth! These units are strong and dependable, but not equipped for all game modes and intensities. They’re still leagues ahead of the majority of units in-game overall.
C: These units are fine, but replaceable later on. They’re a decent team filler if you need a helping hand whilst completing certain tasks and challenges. I don’t have much more to say about them.
D: Despite being in the lowest tier, it would be a misconception to assume these units are weaklings. You may notice that this tier has some units missing from the same rarity and lower. This is intentional, as I’m only ranking the units worth obtaining at all. Those in this last tier are niche and situational, often overshadowed by higher-tier units.
