Best Characters in Tribe Nine

S-Tier

The elite S-tier in *Tribe Nine* features five standout characters, with Tsuruko Semba leading the pack. As a versatile support character, Tsuruko not only deals damage but also enhances your team's performance with her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge. This skill applies the Turning Tides buff to the entire party while simultaneously attacking foes. Despite her supportive role, Tsuruko's fluid movement allows her to excel as a damage dealer, making her an indispensable asset.

Another top-tier pick is Miu Jujo, an Attacker known for her potent abilities. Her unique skill involves placing Luminous Crystals on the battlefield, which inflict Damage over Time (DoT) on enemies within their range. Combined with her high speed and effective dodging capabilities, Miu is an ideal choice for dealing substantial damage.

Q, a Tank with a high Break Ability, complements his role with powerful attack skills. He gains stacks of Fighting Will, which he can unleash to boost his damage output, making him a formidable frontline defender, especially when teamed up with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker.

Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi shines as a healer accompanied by a versatile drone. The drone switches between healing and aggressive modes, adding extra damage to your lineup. Minami's ranged attacks and ease of use make her an excellent choice for beginners looking to avoid enemy hits.

Enoki Yukigaya, another Attacker, leverages Heat stacks gained from combos and counterattacks to unleash devastating special skills. Her ability to inflict massive damage makes her a valuable addition to any team.

A-Tier

Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, combines strong attack skills with sustainability. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces incoming damage by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a resilient choice in battle.

For a reliable Tank, Jio Takinogawa is a solid option. He taunts enemies and reduces the damage he receives, though his damage output is not as high as his S-tier counterparts. Jio is particularly beneficial for new players looking for a sturdy defender.

Yo Kuronaka, the protagonist, offers a high Break Ability, but his clunky moveset and lower damage output compared to S-tier units can be a drawback. Nonetheless, he remains a worthwhile pick for those interested in building him up.

B-Tier

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier category. Roku, a Fighter with medium damage output, lacks standout features, making him an average choice. Conversely, Koishi, a free Healer you get at the start, serves as a decent support for new players. However, upgrading to a stronger Healer is recommended once available.

C-Tier

The C-tier includes Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju. These characters are functional but lack the exceptional abilities needed for endgame success. Tsuki Iroha, available for free, is overshadowed by Koishi Kohinata. Yutaka Gotanda is a passable Tank, while Hyakuichitaro Senju is an average damage dealer.

This guide covers the top characters in *Tribe Nine*. Keep in mind that the tier list may evolve with new character releases, so consider both the rankings and your personal playstyle when making your selections.
