Testing methodology
How Our Tier List Will Be Tested
Why the site shows source status now and how real rankings will be tested after launch.
Transparent ranking criteria before final character data exists.
Last editorial review: 2026-08-28. Confirmed facts are sourced; character builds, tiers, maps, rewards beyond official milestones, and gameplay advice stay provisional until official or hands-on data verifies them.
Why there is no final tier list yet
Pre-launch tier lists can attract search traffic, but final-looking rankings without playable data damage trust. This site currently labels confirmed reward characters, roster watchlist pages, and testing criteria separately.
The first confirmed comparison should focus on the selectable SR starter reward options, then expand only after launch data verifies skills, collections, and squad fit.
Testing categories
Future rankings should test survivability, damage uptime, skill cooldowns, crowd control, beginner ease, collection dependency, upgrade scaling, squad flexibility, and run consistency.
Every score should show whether it applies to solo progression, squad composition, boss fights, farming, or general beginner use.
Patch maintenance
After launch, each tier-list update should include changed characters, old status, new status, reason, and patch or test version.
Never silently rewrite a major ranking. Short change notes are enough, but visible versioning is what makes the page more trustworthy than thin listicles.
Publishing checklist
- Show criteria before rankings.
- Separate confirmed reward status from playable strength.
- Mark unconfirmed playable status clearly.
- Add patch or test-version notes to every major tier change.
FAQ
Is the current tier list final?
No. Before public gameplay data, this site only shows source status and testing methodology.
What makes a character S tier?
A future S-tier rating should require tested value across the relevant modes and collection builds, not just popularity or anime strength.
