Introduction

Not every fighter is worth your Cash, your training sessions or your rerolls — the tier list exists to stop you wasting all three. It ranks the current roster from S tier (meta-defining REAL LEGENDS) down to D tier (early filler you replace as fast as possible), with the ranking driven by base stats, growth potential and how cards perform in actual league matches. The meta shifts with every update: Update 1 introduced tournament mode and new pulls, which rebalanced several cards. This page explains the judging criteria behind each tier rather than just printing a chart, so you can apply the same logic when new fighters drop. Check it before every serious reroll session and you will spend your Legend Rerolls on winners instead of regrets.

Core Mechanics

The tier list ranks cards by three factors: base stats out of the box, growth potential as you train them, and real league performance against NPC and player rosters. S tier fighters are meta anchors with elite stats that justify every training session and make the safest bets. A tier cards are the strong Epic and Mythic picks that carry mid-game rosters before you land a Legendary. B tier is the reliable cash-farm tier — Rares and good Uncommons that win NPC matches while your main fighters rest. C and D tier are early filler, useful only until rerolls arrive. Because meta evaluation depends on the current patch, the list is revisited on every update and the judging criteria matter more than any single ranking.

Advantages

A good tier list converts vague intuition into a spending plan. Instead of guessing which cards deserve your scarce Legend Rerolls, you get a direct answer for every rarity band: chase S, keep A, farm with B, replace C. That clarity pays for itself immediately — players who follow the list spend Cash and rerolls on fighters that actually win, which snowballs into more match income, faster gym upgrades and higher league placement. The tier structure also exposes hidden gems: strong A tier picks that outperform their rarity because of the current meta, which knowledgeable players can target at a lower reroll cost than S tier.

Challenges

A tier list is a snapshot, not a promise. Early-beta balance changes can reorder tiers between patches, and the community-reported data behind rankings (rarity names, stat numbers) is not officially confirmed. Rankings also assume normal play patterns — a fighter ranked low for league climbing might still be excellent for fast cash farming, and personal play style can change the value of any card. Treat the list as a strong starting recommendation, then adapt it to the cards you actually pull and the goals you are actually chasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a fighter S tier?+
S tier fighters combine elite base stats with the highest growth potential in the game and a consistent win record in league matches. They are the REAL LEGENDS of the current meta: every training session pays off more, and they are the safest bets in high-stakes fights.
Should I reroll until I get S tier?+
Spend your first Legend Rerolls on the S tier chase, but do not bankrupt your roster doing it — A tier carries mid-game perfectly well and B tier farms Cash while you save up. Aim for a balanced lineup, not a single miracle pull.
Does the tier list change with updates?+
Yes. Update 1 added tournament mode and new pulls, and balance changes can reshuffle rankings at any time. Re-check the list after every patch before making major reroll or training decisions.

Quick Tips

💡

Always reroll your first Legend Reroll with the tier list open — the difference between S and A is exactly the difference between champions and near-misses.

💡

Do not train C tier fighters past the early game; every session spent on filler is a session not spent on a card that scales.

💡

If a B tier Rare fits your stat build perfectly, keep it — meta theory is weaker than a card that matches your training plan.
