20.07.2024

Added Yirang Yeon [Great Family] to the tier list.

20.07.2024

Fully revamped the tier list. Now we rate characters only in Adventure and each character receives two ratings - up to Revolution 3 and up to Revolution 6, so showing low and high investment. We have also introduced SS tier for the strongest characters in the game - the two recently SSR+ characters are above the others (the powercreep is real).

06.04.2024

• Khun Edahn was upgraded from A to S in both Story and PVP.
• Edahn is a solid DPS unit, useful against full-ranged comps and high-hp enemies in adventure. He is not a priority to level up, because Yellow already has good DPS units and there are more important SSR+ units to level up first. Ranged units benefit a ton from Revolution.
• Shibisu was upgraded from C to A in both Story and PVP.
• Shibisu gets really good in adventure once you can get him to more than 95% resistance to keep him alive. He is going to help with the focus of some ranged units, and reduce the enemy energy regen and their resistances.
• Khun Mascheny [Lightning Spear] was upgraded from A to S in both Story and PVP.
• Mascheny got an indirect buff with the new Regular Lero Ro and the Revolution system being super good on Ranged units. She might go up in the priority of SSR+ units to dupe first.
• Narae Seonwoo was upgraded from B to A in both Story and PVP.
• Narae doesn't have a bad kit, but the invincibility she can provide is too random and lasts for a short time. There are some niche comps where she excels and can still be used overall.
• Ghost was upgraded from C to B in Story.
• Ghost could be useful if Mascheny starts getting used, because then his Magic Resistance shred would have a use in Purple. Still to be tested, but there is potential.
• Hwaryun was upgraded from B to A in Story.
• Hwaryun used to be a great DPS option, but now she can mostly be a support unit. There is a good tech comp with Michael for which she might deserve a higher rank, but for now, she'll stay here.
• Shilial [Red Snake] was upgraded from B to A in both Story and PVP.
• Hwaryun used to be a great DPS option, but now she can mostly be a support unit. There is a good tech comp with Michael for which she might deserve a higher rank, but for now, she'll stay here.
• Khun Ran [Lightning Pill] was upgraded from A to S in both Story and PVP.
• Even after the collab, Khun Ran is quite good, he can survive for a long time and the single-target damage he deals is relevant. The new Crit set is made for him and Regular Lero Ro boosted his damage even more - now this guy is more viable than ever.

01.04.2024

Added Yuri [Regular] and Lero Ro [Regular] to the tier list.

16.03.2024

Added Vicente to the tier list.

06.03.2024

Added Shilial [Red Snake] to the tier list.

29.02.2024

Updated the deficit from x3 to x5 - after the recent story difficulty nerfs, it's much easier to progress.

26.02.2024

The tier list has been fully revamped.

23.02.2024

• Added the 7DS collab characters to the tier list. Their ratings are provisional as we're still testing them - all three are somewhere between S and S+ (closer to S+ honestly), but just to be safe, we placed Elizabeth and Meliodas in S for now while Escanor received the S+ rating,
• [The One] Escanor is the strongest of the collab characters, who actually works decently well at even lower dupe investment. Still, the more dupes of him you will be able to obtain, the scarier he will become. Escanor is a bruiser who can take a beating and also do it himself, on top of buffing his allies via the passive (making them much harder to kill). He is the cornerstone of all Blue teams and melee-focused team moving forward,
• [Eternal Rebirth] Elizabeth damage output is great and she has a cheat death build into her kit, which is rare for a damage dealer - and she can trigger it up to 4 times too over the battle. She also benefits from running a full Blue team which after this collab became one of the strongest elements,
• [Cursed Shackles] Meliodas is everything Hatz wishes he was - in the current state of the game and ever to be honest. Meliodas can deal great burst damage and keep himself alive really well (after he uses his Ultimate) but unless you have him maxed (Rainbow), he will often die before he can use his Ultimate and underperform compared to both Elizabeth and Escanor. He really needs the bonus energy that comes from the Rainbow perk to work well. If you don't have him maxed, you can easily drop him down a tier or two on the tier list if you're under a big deficit.

12.02.2024

• [Dual Swords] Hatz ratings decreased across the board to C tier. Now that the tier list rates character with 3x deficit, he simply can't compete anymore with other characters. You served us well Hatz, but now it's time for you to retire,
• [Lightning Spear] Khun Mascheny dropped from S to A tier in Story. At higher floors there's too many enemy setups that counter her, making her harder to use,
• [Mad Dog's Angel] Ron Mei dropped from S to A tier in Story, from S to A in PVP. At bigger deficits her healing isn't good enough to keep your team alive - especially when you reach the point where your frontline gets one-shot. Which makes her only good with frontline characters that have some form of cheat death to bring them back up once it triggers,
• [Punisher] Ren dropped from A to B tier in Story, from A to B in PVP. Sadly he's not as good as we initially thoughts,
• [Blooming Flower] Miseng Yeo rose from A to S tier in Story, from A to S in PVP. Wth the release of Rihanna set, she actually became pretty great with as she can counter quite a lot of frontline characters in both Story and PVP,
• [Infernal Blademaster] Shane dropped from A to C tier in Story, from B to C against Bosses. Similar to Hatz, she has issues staying alive in the frontlines at bigger deficit.

03.02.2024

• Added [Compressed] Rak and [Punisher] Ren to the tier list.

01.02.2024

• Added [Data] Urek and Ron Mei to the tier list.

20.12.2023

• Added Blanc to the tier list.

06.12.2023

• Added Rachel, Shane and Yeonhee to the tier list,
• Rachel is a boss killer who can also be used in the story, but compared to other SSR+ she can't keep herself alive - mainly due to lack of i-frames. Which means that on a stage where enemies attack the backline, she will struggle a lot,
• Shane is a weaker Hatz/Hoaquin. Her damage output is pretty great, but she can't keep herself alive under big deficits - the passive can't save her if she's instantly one shot. Still, in PVP she has a few uses and you can also use her on Bosses if you lack other Green dps options,
• Yeonhee is a probably the strongest and most future-proof character that came with the collab. Her revive and immortality allows her to tank at the start of the battle for a few crucial seconds and her CC helps with further keeping the team safe,
• Karaka (S>SS in Story). Because of the buff and the introduction of Ignite Weapons, Karaka is much stronger and can rival DZahard and DMasch when it comes to being a stall tank,
• Viole (B>S in Story | B>SS in PVP). The buffs he received helped him a lot but still in the Red Faction he's inferior to Evankhell when it comes to Story, but depending on the team they're roughly equal in PVP now,
• Laure (B>A in Story). The buff made him more consistent and easier to use as the main carry in Green team,

We are still testing the Ignite Weapons and the other characters that received the buffs and the tier list will be updated soon!

20.11.2023

• The tier list has been fully reworked and split into 3 categories, so we're clearing the changelog and will be creating it from scratch moving forward.
