Which units are worth investing in?

Compare the four rankings to see which units consistently perform well. Units rated highly across several sources are usually safer investments, while mixed ratings can point to a mode- or team-specific pick. Unverified DPS figures are excluded.

Not an official ranking Compare cost, placement cap, wave coverage, boss pressure, farming support, and utility inside your own team. A lower-ranked unit that fills a missing role can still be the better build.

Each publisher's scale stays intact, so S, S+, and SS are not collapsed into a single score. Not listed means that source omitted the unit; it does not place the unit at the bottom.

Choose by job

Compare cost, placement cap, wave coverage, boss pressure, farming support, and utility inside your own team. A lower-ranked unit that fills a missing role can still be the better build.

Check again after updates, and use the unit list to confirm which versions are currently available.

When should you ignore the highest tier?

A top grade is not automatically the best next investment. Ignore it when the unit duplicates a role your team already covers, costs more to deploy than your current economy supports, needs an unconfirmed upgrade path, or performs best in a mode you are not trying to clear. A lower consensus grade can be the better choice when it fills wave coverage, boss pressure, support, or farming needs immediately.

Before committing rerolls or evolution materials, answer three questions: What job is missing from the current team? Which checked sources agree that the unit performs that job? Can you complete the build with resources you actually own? If any answer is unclear, keep the unit usable and postpone the irreversible spend.

What should you compare when the grades disagree?

First compare the unit form and publication date, then read how each source describes the unit's role. A difference may come from testing another mode, valuing support differently, or including an evolved form that another list omits. Treat the disagreement as a reason to inspect your own need, not as a problem that must be averaged into one artificial score.
