All rankings are subject to change, especially when new monsters and quests are added.
In accordance with GameWith, the tier list is now split into two separate rankings: Meta Rankings and Power Rankings.
- Meta Rankings are based on a unit's viability in the most recent/current premiere quests. (Rogue, Colossal, Insidious, Abyss, etc.)
- Power Rankings are based on a unit's overall general use of frequency. (Speed Clearing, Max Lucking/Farming, high damage source, ease of use, etc.)
- Neither Ranking has priority over the other; it is strictly to differentiate between quest viability vs. general use
- Ratings are based on a unit's overall viability and general use (Some units may be ranked higher but will have a lower rating)
For rankings of non-Hatcher units, please check out the Drop Tier List.
