S-Tier

The elite S-tier characters in *Tribe Nine* are the cream of the crop, and among them, Tsuruko Semba stands out as arguably the best. As a versatile support character, Tsuruko can deal damage while simultaneously enhancing your team's capabilities. Her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, not only buffs your entire party with the Turning Tides effect but also allows her to attack enemies. Despite her primary role as a support, her smooth movement enables her to excel as a damage dealer.
Miu Jujo, another S-tier gem, is an Attacker with formidable abilities. Her unique skill to deploy Luminous Crystals on the battlefield deals damage over time (DoT) to enemies within its range. Coupled with her high speed and effective dodging capabilities, Miu is an ideal choice for dealing substantial damage.
Q, a Tank with high Break Ability and potent attack skills, excels at accumulating stacks of Fighting Will to amplify his damage. He synergizes well with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker, making him a valuable addition to any team.
Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi shines as a top-tier healer. Accompanied by a versatile drone that switches between healing and aggressive modes, Minami provides both support and additional damage output. Her ranged attacks make her particularly user-friendly for newcomers.
Enoki Yukigaya, the final S-tier Attacker, leverages stacks of Heat gained from combos and counterattacks to unleash devastating special skills, making her a formidable force on the battlefield.

A-Tier

Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, combines strong attack skills with sustain abilities. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces incoming damage by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him resilient during critical moments.
For tanking needs, Jio Takinogawa offers reliable defense by taunting enemies and reducing damage taken. While his damage output is lower compared to S-tier units, he remains a solid choice, especially for beginners.
Yo Kuronaka, the protagonist, surprises with a decent performance thanks to his high Break Ability. However, his somewhat clunky moveset and lower damage output compared to S-tier units are notable drawbacks. Still, he's worth considering for those looking to build him up.
B-Tier

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier category. Roku, a Fighter, offers a decent damage output but lacks standout features. Koishi, a free Healer provided at the start of the game, serves as a viable support option for new players. However, it's advisable to upgrade to a more powerful Healer once available.
C-Tier

C-tier characters, including Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju, are functional but lack the standout abilities needed for endgame success. They can be useful early on, but consider upgrading to stronger units as you progress. Tsuki Iroha is a free unit, yet investing in Koishi Kohinata may yield better results. Yutaka Gotanda functions as a passable Tank, while Hyakuichitaro Senju provides average damage output.
This comprehensive guide covers the best characters in *Tribe Nine*. Keep in mind that new character releases may alter this tier list, so it's essential to consider your personal playstyle when making your selections.
