Unit Tier List: Best Units Ranked - Re Adventures Wiki
S to B rankings for every unit archetype, tested across story maps and scoring modes, with clear guidance on who deserves your upgrades first.
Overview
This tier list ranks units by damage ceiling, upgrade efficiency, and role utility as of Update 1. Ranks reflect sustained testing across story maps and tournament formats — not raw stat-sheet numbers — so a lower-ranked unit with a niche edge still earns its placement.

The Rankings
Ranks assume upgraded units with reasonable traits. An upgraded A-tier unit will outperform an unbuilt S-tier pull every time.
| Tier | Role Profile | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| S | Burst carries with splash or pierce | Build on arrival — anchors every serious comp |
| A | Reliable carries and premier supports | Excellent value; often friendlier to upgrade |
| B | Situational and early-game bridges | Useful placeholders; don't over-invest |
How We Rank Units
Each unit is scored on three axes: peak damage during its window, upgrade efficiency (output per resource), and role utility — whether it does something no other roster slot covers. Raw multipliers without application lose to consistent performers.
We also weigh availability. A slightly weaker unit you can realistically max beats a hypothetical monster locked behind impossible odds; rankings are advice for real accounts, not tier theory.
How to Build a Ranked Roster
Owning top-tier units means nothing without sequencing. This is the order competitive players actually fund:
Secure One S-Tier Carry
Pull until your first top carry lands, then stop. Everything early game routes through a single dominant damage source.
Max the Carry First
Feed all upgrade materials to that unit until it peaks — partial investment across multiple units clears less content overall.
Add the Premier Support
Layer a buffer or crowd-control unit that extends the carry's windows. Support synergy multiplies what upgrades alone provide.
Fill Weak Roles With A-Tiers
A-tier units cover gaps cheaply, preserving resources for limited banners and event drops that reshape the S-tier.
Rank-Reading Mistakes
Tier lists inform decisions; they don't replace them. These misreadings cause the worst build regrets we see.
Chasing S-Tier Blind
Pulling purely for rank ignores what you already own. Build around your best actual pull first.
Skipping Upgrades
An unbuilt S-tier underperforms a maxed A-tier. Rank sets direction; upgrades deliver the damage.
Ignoring Roles
Five carries without support stall against waves that a single buffer would have cleared.

What Each Tier Means for You
Translate rank into action with these rules of thumb:
- S-tier: build immediately, favorite for permanent team slots
- A-tier: excellent secondary investment and event insurance
- B-tier: viable bridges — use them, enjoy them, but don't over-invest
- Any tier: keeper traits raise effective rank — cross-check trait grades
- Duplicates of ranked units feed limit upgrades — never feel bad about off-banner copies
Coming: Update 1.5 Re-Review
The scheduled Update 1.5 content drop will trigger a full re-test of these rankings. New units, balance passes, and trait changes all reshuffle placements — check the updates hub for the re-review announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best unit in Re Adventures?
S-tier burst carries with splash or pierce top the current list — they anchor every competitive comp. Exact picks are ranked in the table above and re-tested after each patch.
How often is the tier list updated?
After every content update. Update 1 placements are live now, and a full re-review lands shortly after Update 1.5 releases on September 27, 2026.
Do traits change unit rankings?
Significantly — a strong trait can lift a unit a full tier, while a mismatched one drags it down. Read the unit and trait lists together before spending resources.
Are lower-tier units worth building?
Yes, as bridges. B-tier units carry early accounts affordably, and situational picks shine in restricted formats where your S-tiers may be unavailable.
Should I reroll my team if the tier list changes?
Rarely a full reset. Balance patches usually shift a few placements — adjust your build order and keep the roster you've already invested in unless a nerf is severe.
Is rarity the same as tier?
No. Rarity sets pull odds; tier reflects performance per investment. Plenty of accessible units outperform rarer pulls that are too expensive to build properly.
Where do Unique units rank?
Uniques are evaluated like everything else — kit, efficiency, utility. Some excel, some are collectibles; the Unique units guide explains the difference in detail.
