Best Characters in Tribe Nine

Below is the definitive tier ranking for all *Tribe Nine* characters:

S-Tier

The game features five S-tier characters, with Tsuruko Semba standing out as potentially the strongest. This versatile support unit delivers damage while enhancing team performance through her ultimate ability, Invigorating Surge, which simultaneously attacks foes and applies the Turning Tides buff to allies. Her fluid combat style makes her unexpectedly effective as a damage dealer.

Damage specialists Miu Jujo and Enoki Yukigaya dominate their categories. Miu strategically places damaging Luminous Crystals while maintaining excellent mobility, whereas Enoki builds Heat stacks through combos to unleash devastating attacks.

The tank role shines with Q, whose Fighting Will mechanic escalates his offensive power, making him ideal alongside Tsuruko and attackers. Minami Oi, despite her humble 2-star rating, proves invaluable as a hybrid healer/DPS through her adaptive drone companion.

A-Tier

Eiji Todoroki leads the A-rank with balanced offense and defensive capabilities through his Brilliant Me! damage reduction. Tank enthusiasts will appreciate Jio Takinogawa's reliable enemy-drawing mechanics, though his damage falls short of top-tier units.

Protagonist Yo Kuronaka maintains relevance with strong Break Ability, though his cumbersome control scheme prevents higher placement.

B-Tier

Roku Saigo delivers moderate damage without exceptional qualities, while starter healer Koishi Kohinata serves adequately until obtaining superior support options.

C-Tier

Free unit Tsuki Iroha and companions Yutaka Gotanda/Hyakuichitaro Senju remain serviceable early-game options but struggle in advanced content. Consider them temporary solutions until better alternatives emerge.

This tier ranking reflects current game balance, though future updates may introduce shifts. Prioritize banner pulls while considering personal playstyle preferences.
