Arknights tier list
Checked 2026-10-16
Prydwen, GamePress, and Game8 no longer keep an Arknights tier path (those URLs returned 404). This table is our editorial rank, built from rarity, branch, and role, and it says so.
Editorial ranks
S means we would raise the operator early if the account already owns them. A means a strong job with a clearer substitute. B means useful and not the first promotion. NPC names are absent on purpose.
This is not a damage-per-second sheet. Module levels and the current banner change the answer. The date on this page is the date of the judgment.
| Operator | Class | Rank | Why this letter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surtr | Arts Fighter Guard | S | 6-star lane Arts damage, few branch peers |
| Logos | Core Caster | S | 6-star core caster, Elite Ops |
| W | Artilleryman Sniper | S | 6-star AoE physical, story regular |
| Mudrock | Juggernaut Defender | S | 6-star self-sufficient defender |
| Saria | Guardian Defender | A | Healing defender, confirmed on the wiki pass |
| Thorns | Lord Guard | A | 6-star lane holder, Alter is separate |
| Exusiai | Marksman Sniper | A | Standard ranged physical, Alter is separate |
| Bagpipe | Charger Vanguard | A | DP opener, debuted in Contingency Contract |
| Warfarin | Medic | A | 5-star medic, the biggest operator search |
| Amiya | Core Caster | B | Story 5-star, Guard form exists, unlock unconfirmed |
| Dobermann | Instructor Guard | B | 4-star early roster, not a late score |
