S-Tier

In *Tribe Nine*, the cream of the crop includes five S-tier characters, with Tsuruko Semba standing out as potentially the best in the game. As a versatile support character, Tsuruko can deal damage while simultaneously enhancing your team's performance. Her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, not only attacks enemies but also applies the Turning Tides buff to your entire party. Despite her supportive nature, her agile movement makes her an effective damage dealer as well.

Another top pick is Miu Jujo, an Attacker known for her ability to deploy Luminous Crystals on the battlefield, which deal damage over time to foes within their range. Her high speed and powerful ultimate make her an excellent choice for dealing damage while evading enemy attacks.

Q, a Tank with a high Break Ability, excels in accumulating Fighting Will stacks to enhance his damage output. He synergizes well with Tsuruko Semba and Attacker units, making him a valuable asset to any team.

Even though Minami Oi is a 2-Star unit, she shines as a healer with a drone that switches between healing and aggressive modes. This hybrid functionality allows her to contribute to damage output, making her a great choice for beginners and those looking for a versatile healer.

Enoki Yukigaya, another Attacker, leverages Heat stacks gained from combos and counterattacks to unleash devastating special skills, adding significant damage to your arsenal.

A-Tier

Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, boasts strong attack skills and sustain abilities. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a durable choice during high-pressure moments.

For tanking, Jio Takinogawa is a reliable option. He can taunt enemies and reduce incoming damage, although his damage output is less impressive compared to higher tiers. He's particularly helpful for new players looking for a sturdy tank.

Yo Kuronaka, the game's protagonist, offers a high Break Ability but is hindered by a somewhat clunky moveset. While his damage isn't on par with S-tier characters, he remains a viable option for those who wish to invest in his potential.

B-Tier

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier. Roku, a Fighter with medium damage output, lacks standout features. Koishi, a free Healer available from the start, serves as an early-game support option but should be replaced with a stronger healer when possible.

C-Tier

The C-tier includes Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju. These characters are functional but lack the standout abilities needed for endgame success. Tsuki Iroha is a free unit, but investing in Koishi Kohinata is advisable. Yutaka serves as a decent Tank, while Hyakuichitaro is an average damage dealer.

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