Special Anime Defense Tier List FAQ

How do the Tiers Work?

Our tiers are ranked from best to worst and assess the overall usefulness of the ability.

  • S-Tier: These are the best-of-the-best and likely overpowered. If you get one of these, you should keep it and not change anything.
  • A-Tier: These are outstanding performers and would be a great addition to your character. Due to the rarity of an S-Tier, it might be better to just hold onto one of these because the other ones are so hard to get.
  • B-Tier: Can be good for a while, but you will likely want to upgrade these at some point.
  • C-Tier: While not great it at least functions as somewhat of an improvement to your character.
  • D-Tier: Worst of the worst and provides no benefit. Should be spun away as soon as possible.

How were the Rankings Decided?

When we develop our tier lists, we aim to collect insights from diverse sources. While our own gameplay experiences provide a valuable perspective, our main objective is to produce inclusive lists that accommodate different playstyles. In order to achieve this, we also take into account the ratings and viewpoints of fellow players within the game community, and we utilize platforms such as Discord, YouTube, and Reddit to compile a comprehensive tier list.

When is the Special Anime Defense Tier List Updated?

Our team is committed to keeping the list current by regularly revising it to reflect new releases and balance changes. Therefore, we highly recommend that you check back periodically to stay updated with the latest rankings.
