In Tribe Nine, five characters stand out as S-tier, with Tsuruko Semba arguably being the best. As a versatile support character, she not only deals damage but also enhances your team's performance with her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, which applies the Turning Tides buff to the entire party while attacking enemies. Her fluid movement makes her an excellent choice for both support and damage roles.
Miu Jujo, another S-tier character, excels as an Attacker with her ability to place Luminous Crystals on the battlefield, which inflict damage over time (DoT) on enemies within their radius. Her high speed and powerful ultimate make her an ideal damage dealer, capable of dodging enemy attacks with ease.
Q, a Tank unit, boasts a high Break Ability and potent attack skills. His unique ability to accumulate Fighting Will stacks allows him to unleash powerful buffs, making him a great addition when paired with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker.
Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi shines as a healer. Accompanied by a drone that switches between healing and aggressive modes, she adds extra damage to your team, making her a valuable hybrid DPS. Her ranged attacks also help new players dodge enemy assaults more effectively.
Enoki Yukigaya, another top-tier Attacker, leverages Heat stacks gained from combos and counterattacks to unleash devastating special skills, making her a formidable force on the battlefield.

Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, combines strong attack skills with sustain abilities. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a resilient choice during intense battles.
For tanking, Jio Takinogawa is a solid option. He can taunt enemies and reduce incoming damage, though his damage output is less impressive. He's particularly beneficial for new players looking to build a sturdy frontline.
Yo Kuronaka, the protagonist, offers a high Break Ability but suffers from a somewhat clunky moveset. While his damage isn't on par with S-tier units, he remains a viable choice for those willing to invest in his development.

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier category. Roku, a Fighter, delivers medium damage but lacks standout abilities. Koishi, a free Healer you receive early in the game, serves as a decent support for beginners but should be replaced with a stronger Healer when possible.

Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju make up the C-tier. While they can be useful in the early to mid-game, their lack of standout abilities may hinder your progress in the endgame. Tsuki Iroha is a free unit, but investing in Koishi Kohinata is recommended. Yutaka Gotanda serves as a passable Tank, and Hyakuichitaro Senju is an average damage dealer.
This guide covers the best characters in Tribe Nine. Keep in mind that this tier list may evolve with the introduction of new characters. Always consider your personal playstyle when making your selections.
