ARKNIGHTS 5* Tier List

#arknights #tierlist #educational
This video is my opinion on 5* that are currently in the game. I tried to share my opinion on each of them from my experience using them. I spent a lot of time on 5* only and consider myself worthy to rate them all. Next video is going to be a huge hot take, after which I will do some funny content as my first video. I am trying various things to see what sticks, what doesnt, so keep an eye!

I feel so bad for Red. Shes been power creeped by multiple operators over the years and it doesnt feel like shes super good gameplay wise anymore. I could probably even list the operators that have the same gimmicks or directly powercreeped her. For skill 1, anyone with a dodge fits, as well as yato alter and texas alter skill 1 and two because of the single target assassination. Skill 2 is powercreeped by texas alter skill 3. Literally red skill 2, but now it has more range, does damage over time, hits aerial enemies, does arts damage, and can technically activate twice. As for reds talent, this is powercreeped by anyone who ignores defense like franka and true damage ops, or freaking aciddrop, who has the exact same talent, but now its a 4* sniper. Red was powercreeped by an operator who is a lower rarity than her. Thats just plain sad.

Reverse powercreep on 5's is super weird, there's very few that have a Niche or Performance worth E2, and even less characters again worth E1 max for IS and 95% of those came out with the game. (I have a fair few E2'd for the character art that'll never be used for anything but screensavers)

[@halley_lu]

Please tell me this is bait

[@apurbadey8571]

Indra and Broca should switch tiers. Broca has 3 block count and has longer range on his S2, and his arts damage is very high he's basically a 5 star Surtr. Meanwhile, Indra only has 1 block and her long cooldown on S2 makes her hard to use.

You almost scared me, i thought there'd be no delulu this time😔 Also, very surprised Heidi made it so high on the tier list

[@user-cm8kg3wh1f]

Hung is definitely a S rank for being good at bed tier list change my mind

[@Fesax69]

Bro built 5 stars two times and thought they figured out the whole category. this ain't it chief

[@ronicaio65]

Lappland in A? Alright i know where this is going.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

I feel like you did Platinum dirty, I don't use her because I have Dorthy/Exu, but extended range and 1K+ damage, with a massive first shot, she's one of the strongest AA units in the game.

[@ninja6245-real]

As a note for future viewers. The 7-8 cost comes from the module. Which isn’t hard to get… Legit. The 2 missions can be done at the same time. Use sword rain 5 times and hit something with it and beat Code of Brawl level 3 with Texas being your only vanguard. (CB-3 is the second level with command terminals. And CB-3 isn’t hard…)

[@oyaoya7164]

Specter should go to S cuz like at M3 her s2 can be used as a hellidrop immortal tank for a few sec for a boss then just drop texalter or any boss killer to safely kill the boss.

[@dusk252-ak]

There's a chance this comment might come off as too confrontational but hope you can take it constructively.

[@reversal3628]

In order to maintain 5 stars or below, they must have something that even 6 stars can't. Such as Lappy's silence, Waff for big atk boost, Shamare for debuff. Ptilopsis with her Sp regen, Andreana that sometimes forgotten because she has no red eyes and white long hair like others.

Blue Poison is A tier. She's always been solid, and then they added the "have hit them multiple times to defeat them" enemies, which often come in groups.

[@Sharkcapp]

Overall good tierlist! Here's my take:

[@opya.]

Casually looks over the 1500 records that Mayer has on Arkrec. Summoners are not useless at all and are in fact the most flexible units in low op 5* only and welfare clears. They can be quite technical but are extremely versatile, and it's sad that mayer s2 was not even mentioned because that is her genuinely useful skill that literally allows her to be a fast redeploy that does dmg and comes with cc all in one since meeboos get refunded after explosions. I recommend watching some of Dusk's clears here in yt to enlighten you on truly how broken summoners are in this game due to their full map coverage capabilities.

[@aizeroth8858]

Is Kjera really that bad? I used her, Absinthe, Amiya and Click quite a lot when I didn't have any 6* arts dps units and they all kinda seemed to deal similar damage. Amiya was the worst unless using S3, and Kjera seemed to do the most when she got her freeze off because of the RES reduction (and also buying the team more time for killing a boss). From my experience the RNG is not as bad as it looks, and if you have any way to increase her attack speed she scales really well.

[@Redymare]

Specter, Warfarin, Manticore and Leizi

[@mrplimbles7803]

Firewhistle was one of my first 5 star pulls, was going for her 6 star counterpart but didn't have the pulls. Her E2 ability essentially increases her damage applicable range by 1 square in every direction and the spaces infront of her recieve the arts damage strikes. Thats the part I love about her, you can hold off on her E2 and let 3 enemies clump up against her then she point blanks them all. Great for AN3 as she helps cover the neighbouring lane and melts the Defense Crushers no issue
