## Entries

| Tier | Name | Category | Why |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| S | Elyssia (Abyssal) | Damage | All five lists we compared put it in their top tier. |
| S | Snow Reaper (Final) | Damage | S on all four rankings that include it. |
| S | Shinobi (Eternal) | Damage | S on all three rankings that include it. |
| S | Fused Hero | Damage | A unanimous S: three out of three rankings. |
| S | Chuuni (Delusion) | Damage | A unanimous top pick on the three lists that included it. |
| S | Zombie (Risen) | Damage | Top tier on three lists. A unit named Zombie was a featured Special Mythic at capture time on November 3, 2026. |
| S | Sky God | Damage | Secret from the summer Sky Portals. All three rankings that include it chose S; a fourth left it off. |
| S | Explosion Mage | Damage | Map-wide explosion about every 20 seconds, but it cannot hit Soaring enemies. Lists put it in S or A. |
| S | Fishi | Damage | At full Sanity it hits for 35% of max health as true damage and stuns, bosses included. Lists say S or A. |
| S | Violentine (Brutal Angel) | Damage | Nerfed in UPD 21, yet lists written after the change still place it in S or A, with a median of S. |
| S | Illusionist (Transcended) | Damage | Median S, but placements run from B to S: lists split. |
| S | Phoenix | Support | Its Phoenix Flames make marked enemies take 300% more burn damage. Lists place it in S or A. |
| A | Captain (God) | Damage | Mostly A across the lists. The first UPD 21 Artifact, from the weekly Raid, is made for it. |
| A | Rudo | Damage | The level 50 reward of the UPD 21 Battle Pass. Lists place it in A or B. |
| A | Troy Flame | Damage | Every fifth attack adds 50% true damage; from Infinity Mansion. Placements run from A to C: lists split. |
| A | Dark Mage (Fallen Star) | Damage | Placed in A, S and B across the lists: lists split, so the median of A stands for now. |
| A | Spider (Immolation) | Damage | The lists broadly agree on A for this damage unit. |
| A | Supreme Being (Sovereign) | Damage | Mostly A, with one S among the rankings. |
| A | Switchblade (Deception) | Damage | A on all three rankings that include it. |
| A | Somber (Buzzsaw) | Damage | Lists place it in A or B, and the median lands on A. |
| A | Vengeful Swordsman (Sky Reaver) | Damage | Three out of three rankings put it in A. |
| A | Shadow Sorcerer | Damage | Mostly A across the rankings, with one S. |
| A | Water Goddess | Support | Hill unit that can hit Soaring enemies and gives units in range +50% water damage. Lists split. |
| A | Word Mage | Support | Cuts elemental resistance by 10, then 10 more every 3 seconds, down to -80. In the Special Mythic pool. |
| A | Commander | Support | Tagged as a support with no tier; placed in A under our support rule. |
| A | Elfy (Sylph) | Support | A support the lists did not tier. Our support rule puts it in A. |
| A | Griffin (Reincarnation) | Support | Listed as support only, without a tier, so it goes in A by our rule. |
| A | Idol (Star) | Support | Support tag, no tier on the lists; our support rule places it in A. |
| C | Armored Crusader | Support | Taunt pulls enemies in for 3 seconds and slows them 20%. Median C, but one list calls it a core support: lists split. |

Method: List consensus: We start each unit at its median tier across five public tier lists published after UPD 21. UPD 21 fit: Can the unit reach Soaring enemies, does it sit on a Hill spot, and how much does the halved ground damage against fliers cost it. What the game shows: Rarity, rates and pity on the banner screens, plus the mechanic changes described in the patch notes shown in videos.
