🏆 S-Tier — Meta-Defining (Must Have)
| Character | Ability | Why S-Tier |
|---|---|---|
| DJ Alok | Drop the Beat (Active) — 5m healing aura + speed boost | Best all-rounder. Heals team and enables aggressive pushes. Works in every mode. |
| Chrono | Time Turner (Active) — Shield blocking 600 damage + speed boost | Best defensive character. Shield blocks bullets while you heal or reposition. |
| K (Captain Booyah) | Master of All (Active) — Toggle between Jiu-Jitsu (EP recovery) and Psychology (EP to HP) modes | Best sustain. Converts EP to HP rapidly, making you nearly unkillable with mushrooms. |
| Dimitri | Healing Heartbeat (Active) — Zone where downed allies can self-revive | Best squad support. Teammates revive themselves inside your zone. Game-changing in ranked. |
| Kassie | Single-target healing on downed teammates | Best clutch healer. Faster and more reliable than standard revives. |
⭐ A-Tier — Very Strong
- Skyler — Destroys enemy Gloo Walls with sonic wave + heals when deploying your own Gloo. Hard counter to defensive players.
- Xayne — Temporary HP boost + increased damage to Gloo Walls and shields. Best aggro character for pushing.
- Jota — Restores HP on gun kills. Incredible self-sustain in close-range fights.
- Hayato — Damage increases as HP decreases. Clutch potential is insane when low health.
- Homer — Drone ability for scouting. Strong in coordinated squads.
