S-Tier

Image via Too Kyo GamesIn Tribe Nine, five characters stand out as S-tier, with Tsuruko Semba arguably being the best. As a support character, Tsuruko not only deals damage but also buffs your team with her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, applying the Turning Tides buff to the entire party while attacking enemies. Her smooth movement also allows her to function effectively as a damage dealer.
Miu Jujo, another S-tier character, excels as an Attacker with her ability to place Luminous Crystals on the battlefield, which deal damage over time (DoT) to enemies. Her high speed and powerful ultimate make her a top choice for dealing damage.
Q, a Tank unit, boasts a high Break Ability and strong attack skills. He accumulates stacks of Fighting Will, which he can unleash to enhance his damage, making him an excellent team player, especially when paired with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker.
Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi shines as a great healer. Her drone operates in healing and aggressive modes, automatically switching to attack mode after healing, making her a valuable hybrid DPS unit. Her ranged attacks make her user-friendly for newcomers.
Enoki Yukigaya, another Attacker, leverages stacks of Heat gained from combos and counterattacks to unleash devastating special skills, making her a formidable damage dealer.

A-Tier

Image via Too Kyo GamesEiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, offers strong attack skills and sustain abilities. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him resilient during crucial moments.
Jio Takinogawa serves as a reliable Tank, capable of taunting enemies and reducing incoming damage. Although his damage output is lower, he's a solid choice, particularly for new players.
Yo Kuronaka, the protagonist, has a high Break Ability, but his clunky moveset and lower damage output compared to S-tier units make him a decent but not exceptional choice.
B-Tier

Image via Too Kyo GamesRoku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier. Roku is a decent Fighter with medium damage output, but lacks standout abilities. Koishi, a free Healer available at the game's start, is a passable support for beginners but should be replaced by a stronger Healer when possible.
C-Tier

Image via Too Kyo GamesYutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju are C-tier characters, useful in early and mid-game but less effective in the endgame. Tsuki Iroha is given for free, but investing in Koishi Kohinata is advisable. Yutaka Gotanda serves as a passable Tank, while Hyakuichitaro Senju is an average damage dealer.
