3rd Anniversary - Tier List Change Log

Submit Feedback or Error

Introduction

  • With the advent of Scathach=Skadi, our staff took the chance to rediscuss the entire 4 star and 5 star Tier List. All 84 (4 star) and 66 (5 star) Servants' positions were reconsidered for tiering, doing our best to strike a balance between taking Skadi into account as well as considering how well a Servant performs without Skadi in the equation. In some cases, a Servant's performance with Skadi itself merits a larger tier list shift, while other Servants are less widely applicable or require more setup, and did not receive as much of a change.
  • For the 5 star list, a new tier (EX-) has been introduced to help better distinguish the top support Servants from one another. In addition, a new Tier 6 has also been added, to give Servants more room to spread out.
  • For the 4 star list, we have also increased the number of tiers from 5 to 6, resulting in a large number of shifts to help better place Servants relative to one another.

As a summary of the tier list changes:

  • 5 Star: 50 out of the 66 SSR Servants experienced a tier placement change during the Skadipocalypse.
  • 4 Star: 56 out of the 84 SR Servants experienced a tier placement change during the Skadipocalypse.

As always, a tier list is subjective by nature! Our staff has a wide variety of preferences and playstyles, and this tier list represents a sum and compromise of multiple view points.
Feel free to discuss the changes in the comments below!
