S-Tier

At the pinnacle of *Tribe Nine* are five S-tier characters, with Tsuruko Semba arguably being the best. A versatile support character, Tsuruko can deal damage while enhancing your team's performance with her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, which applies the Turning Tides buff to the entire party and attacks enemies simultaneously. Her fluid movement also allows her to function effectively as a damage dealer.
Miu Jujo, another S-tier standout, excels as an Attacker with her ability to place Luminous Crystals on the battlefield, dealing continuous damage to enemies within their radius. Her high speed and powerful Ultimate make her an excellent choice for dodging enemy attacks and dealing significant damage.
Q, a Tank with high Break Ability and potent attack skills, accumulates stacks of Fighting Will to boost his damage, making him a formidable ally, especially when paired with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker.
Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi shines as a healer with a dual-mode drone that switches between healing and aggressive modes, making her a valuable hybrid DPS. Her ranged attacks also help new players evade enemy assaults more easily.
Enoki Yukigaya rounds out the S-tier Attacker list with her Heat stacks, gained through combos and counterattacks, enabling her to unleash devastating special skills against enemies.

Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, combines strong attack skills with sustain abilities. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a resilient choice during enemy focus.
Jio Takinogawa serves as a reliable Tank, capable of taunting enemies and reducing damage taken, though his damage output is less impressive, making him suitable for new players.
The protagonist, Yo Kuronaka, offers a high Break Ability but struggles with a somewhat clunky moveset and weaker damage compared to S-tier characters. However, he remains a viable option for those willing to invest in him.
B-Tier

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier. Roku, a Fighter, delivers moderate damage but lacks standout abilities. Koishi, a free Healer, is a decent early-game support but should be replaced by a stronger healer when available.
C-Tier

The C-tier includes Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju. These characters are functional in the early and mid-game but may hinder progress in the endgame. Tsuki Iroha is free but less effective than Koishi Kohinata, while Yutaka Gotanda and Hyakuichitaro Senju offer average tanking and damage dealing, respectively.
Remember, as *Tribe Nine* evolves with new character releases, this tier list may change. Always consider your personal playstyle and preferences when building your team.
