Rolling your own list? Builders like https://tierlistmaker.online/ make it painless to reorganize tiers with pals before you slam rerolls. Outside links inherit their own uptime & privacy quirks — skim their rules before exporting art.

🏆 Tier ladders — community snapshot

Pulse — 2026-05-14

Use this ladder as shorthand when skimming Boxes or explaining runs to teammates. Bands reflect auto-brawl comfort, PP scaling, AFK forgivingness, plus how sweaty players sound on Discord — not official studio commandments. Adjusted for Nova update. Combines gameplay notes with community chatter — not official from the studio.

FAQ

Who is the safest “first Legend” fantasy pick? +

Spike + Crow layering is the AFK poster child, but any S-tier Legend you actually pull beats theorycraft you don’t own yet.

Should I keep D-tier benches? +

Only while you sprint through Training Yard chores — ditch them quickly for Super Rare anchors.

Does the ladder change after patches? +

Yes. Re-scan after every changelog — passives silently shift when ChillyTea rebalances timers.

Synergy versus raw rarity? +

Raw rarity spikes raw Power first; synergy optimizations matter once benches fill out.
