Arknights Tier List

Arknights is a very exciting mobile game. With several dozen characters – and eight classes – you can make all sorts of party compositions. But, as there are so many characters available, it can be hard to figure out which ones are the best. To help you with this, we have made this Arknights Tier List. In it, we have divided all of the characters by class, and those classes into tiers.

Arknights Caster Tier List

As their name suggests, Casters are magic users, typically attacking from range:

• S Tier: Eyjafjalla, Dusk, Mostima, Carnelian, Ifrit, and Ceobe.
