Tier list de habilidades Sword x Staff

Rankings atuais e o sistema de avaliação por trás deles.

Esta página lista rankings reais e ensina você a avaliar habilidades por conta própria.

Visão geral

A "best skills" list is only useful if you know the context behind it. Skills are not isolated power objects—they are tools that support a loop. A skill can be "S-tier" in one build and mediocre in another.

Filosofia de tiers

Tiers are about opportunity cost. "S-tier" means you can pick it without regret in many contexts. "A-tier" means you probably want it, but only when it fits your loop.

  • S-tier: broadly useful, consistent, hard to replace.
  • A-tier: strong when paired correctly.
  • B-tier: playable but niche.

Dimensões de avaliação

  • Consistency: does it work often?
  • Uptime: does it keep your loop running?
  • Synergy: does it support your anchor?
  • Progression value: is it great early, late, or both?
  • Execution cost: how hard is it to use correctly?

Como usar

  1. Pick your anchor on Classes.
  2. Pick a template on Best Builds.
  3. Identify your bottleneck.
  4. Swap one skill to solve that bottleneck; test long enough to see consistency.

FAQ

How should I use tier lists?

Use tiers to shortlist options, then test in your own progression context. A skill or companion can be "S-tier" but still wrong for your current bottleneck.

Why do "best builds" differ between players?

Progression stage, available skills, execution comfort, and mode goals all change what feels "best". A good build is repeatable and fits your current bottleneck.

How do I plan a build as a beginner?

Start with a simple template, add stability first, then optimize. Warrior Bruiser is the recommended starter build. The Best Builds page has templates for all 4 classes.
