Meta tier list
Ranked for the current meta using ability impact, progression value, and consistency across real player scenarios.
How much each unit changes gameplay and gives measurable advantages.
The quality of bonuses like damage, uptime, control, or survivability.
How well the unit performs across leveling, farming, PvE, or PvP.
Side-by-side decision
Select up to two options. Facts, task fit, strengths, and tradeoffs remain visible beside the editorial tier.
High investment
A repeatedly reported long-fight carry with stacking, sustain, and broad endgame value.
Best for: Infinite, Story, long fights
Strengths: Scales through long waves, Self-sustain signal, Flexible carry slot
Tradeoffs: High investment, Patch-sensitive ranking
Mythic-reported
High-area damage carry repeatedly placed near the top for wave-heavy and Infinite content.
Best for: Infinite, wave clear, main carry
Strengths: Area pressure, Late-game ceiling
Tradeoffs: Needs investment, Awakening route is update-sensitive
Meta-defining picks with the strongest overall value.
A repeatedly reported long-fight carry with stacking, sustain, and broad endgame value.
High-area damage carry repeatedly placed near the top for wave-heavy and Infinite content.
A high-value boss and raid target with repeated reports of damage and control utility.
A premium late-game target with both boss pressure and team utility signals.
A durable control option that protects damage slots and stabilizes difficult waves.
Very strong choices that fit most players and scenarios.
Strong concentrated damage for boss and raid pressure, with less universal utility than the top hybrid picks.
A versatile damage option that remains useful across progression and Infinite setups.
UPD 2.0 progression target with unusually accessible entry through the reported StarterShinobi code.
A recurring support recommendation whose value comes from improving the team rather than personal damage.
A dedicated economy piece that can unlock expensive carries earlier in a run.
A specialist tank for teams that need survival and lane stability more than another damage slot.
Good performers with useful strengths and fewer spikes.
A situational support-economy piece whose value depends strongly on the rest of the lineup.
A usable defensive specialist when a lineup needs a front line but lacks premium tank options.
A budget hybrid that can bridge early progression before dedicated endgame units arrive.
An early support option that fills a healing or sustain gap until stronger utility arrives.
Playable, but usually outclassed by better options.
Early filler that should receive only enough resources to reach the next reliable carry.
A temporary damage slot for new accounts, not a preferred long-term material target.
Usable as initial wave-clear filler but usually replaced once a stronger role-specific unit is available.
Low-value picks unless you have a very specific reason.
Low-priority filler; avoid rare traits and evolution resources unless the current patch changes the kit.
A short-term starter option with low reported long-term value in the July 2026 meta.
Use this unit tier list as a decision aid, not a rigid rule. Your best pick depends on solo play, team needs, and how stable your current progression feels.
Check your active codes and current progression bottleneck first, then pick the unit that solves that problem instead of blindly chasing hype.
