High-End Tier List — Week of May 5th

Context notes: • SW currently needs to be in EVERY lineup. • Invest in SW first, at least to 3D, before pursuing any other Xeno. • This tier list assumes all heroes are at least 3D. • Combo rankings (e.g., 'Panda + WR') indicate that support units perform at an elevated tier level specifically when paired.

WD Beginner Tier List

Beginner context notes: • Focus on SW as the first Xeno hero. She is a staple in all mid-late game teams. • PC is a late-game hero. Once Lich becomes available, the player should start building PC as well. • Early fighters like Robot & SM fall off before Chapter 200. • ID is a very strong tank for getting through mid game.
