Best Characters in Tribe Nine

S-Tier

In *Tribe Nine*, five characters stand out as S-tier, with Tsuruko Semba leading the pack. As a versatile support character, Tsuruko can both deal damage and enhance your team's performance. Her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, not only attacks enemies but also applies the Turning Tides buff to your entire party. Despite her support role, her smooth movement allows her to function effectively as a damage dealer.

Miu Jujo, another S-tier gem, excels as an Attacker with her ability to deploy Luminous Crystals. These crystals inflict damage over time (DoT) on nearby enemies. With her high speed and powerful Ultimate, Miu is adept at dodging enemy attacks, making her an ideal choice for dealing damage.

Q, a Tank unit, boasts a high Break Ability and strong attack skills. His unique Fighting Will mechanic allows him to stack buffs, which can significantly boost his damage output. Pairing him with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker can maximize his effectiveness.

Even as a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi shines as a healer. Her drone companion switches between healing and aggressive modes, making her a valuable hybrid DPS unit. Although her damage isn't the highest, her ease of use and ranged attacks make her a great choice for beginners.

Enoki Yukigaya rounds out the S-tier Attackers with her Heat stacks mechanic. By executing combos and counterattacks, she can 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 damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a resilient choice during intense battles.

For tanking needs, Jio Takinogawa is a reliable pick. While his damage output is limited, his ability to taunt enemies and reduce incoming damage makes him a solid option, particularly for new players.

Yo Kuronaka, the game's protagonist, is a surprisingly effective choice with his high Break Ability. However, his clunky moveset and lower damage compared to S-tier units might require some adjustment. Still, he's worth considering for those looking to build around him.

B-Tier

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier category. Roku, a Fighter, offers medium damage output but lacks standout features. Koishi, a free Healer you receive early on, is decent for beginners but should be replaced with a stronger Healer once available.

C-Tier

C-tier characters include Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju. While not entirely useless, these units lack the abilities needed to excel in the endgame. Tsuki Iroha, a free unit, is less preferable than Koishi Kohinata. Yutaka Gotanda serves as a passable Tank, and Hyakuichitaro Senju offers average damage dealing capabilities.

This comprehensive tier list should guide your recruitment strategy in *Tribe Nine*. Keep in mind that the meta can shift with new character releases, so consider both the tier rankings and your personal playstyle when building your team.

*Tribe Nine is now available on Android, iOS, and PC.*
