Tier lists rank a game's characters or units from strongest to weakest, usually using letter grades from S down to D or F. Knowing how to read one — and when to trust it — helps beginners invest their resources wisely instead of chasing hype.
S tier (sometimes SS or T0) is the best — top performers that excel in most content. A and B tiers are strong, reliable picks; C and below are situational or outclassed. "T0/T1" is just another way of writing the same idea, with T0 being the very top.
Tier lists are opinions based on a context — PvE, PvP, or specific game modes — so two creators can rank the same character differently. They also shift with every balance patch and new release, which is why a list from six months ago can be misleading today.
Use tier lists as a rough guide, not gospel. Favor high-tier characters that are free or beginner-friendly, and remember that a well-built B-tier unit you enjoy often beats an S-tier one you never invest in.
What does S tier mean in games?
S tier marks the strongest, most versatile options in the game — units that perform at the top level across most content and are usually the safest investments.
Should I only use S tier characters?
No. Tier lists are context-dependent and change with patches. A lower-tier character you invest in and enjoy can easily outperform a high-tier one you ignore.
