Tier List

How is this tier list worked out?

Every tier here is arithmetic from the game's own numbers, not an opinion. A skill is ranked by its damage per second at rank 5, using its evolved form when it has one, with no bonuses. A role is ranked by the average of its pool, weighed equally against its health.

Calibration is final. Please do not discuss your tier with colleagues.

Skill tiers by position: S is the top 10%, A the next 20%, B the next 40%, C the next 20%, D the rest. The sum cannot see stuns, pulls, healing, range or how many enemies a shot passes through, so a low number can still be a very good skill. Nobody has play-tested these ranks into a verdict, and the tags show what the number leaves out.

Which role is strongest?

Facilities comes first on the arithmetic, with Finance last. The score is half the role's average final-form damage against the best role, and half its health against the toughest. All nine draw on the same shared skills, so only their own eight skills and health separate them.

Your rating has been shared with your manager's manager.

Which skills rank highest?

Balls in the Air tops the 99 skills, at 1422 damage per second in its final form. Sort the table by any column, or filter it by tier or owner. Evolved forms are ranked through the skill that leads to them, because you can only reach one by building that skill first.

Top performers will be recognised at a future date.

How is each kind of skill counted?

Each shape is counted the way the game actually fires it, so a blast counts one hit per target, a zone counts its ticks, and a helper counts its attacks. Shapes that last less than their cooldown are scaled by the share of time they are up. These are the exact rules.

The methodology has been reviewed by the methodology team.
