How to read this tier list
S-tier units are the safest targets when you need late-game scaling, strong utility, or flexible team building. A-tier units are worth testing or investing in if they fit your game mode. B-tier units can carry progression but should not drain all resources unless they solve a specific problem.
Mode notes
Rift: value burst, survivability, and reliable boss pressure.
Boss Rush: prioritize focused damage and team utility.
Story: cost curve and consistency matter more than pure ceiling.
Odyssey: card synergy and flexible routes can change unit priority.
