How do Our Tiers Work?

Our tiers run from best to worst and rank the general usefulness of the Executioner.

  • S Tier: OP. The best of the best. Get one as soon as you can.
  • A Tier: Not as exceptional as S, but very good. It should work well with just about any characters.
  • B Tier:  Solid and dependable, but not exceptional. They’re fine but you may want to swap along the line. Keep this in mind when investing in upgrades!
  • C Tier: You might find a specific use for them, but otherwise they underperform. Don’t invest too much into upgrades unless you have an amazing strategy.
  • D Tier: Nope.

How Did We Decide on the Rankings?

We pull our ranks from our own gameplay, and from community response. Tier lists aren’t always totally objective, and your playstyle might suit things we rank lower! So, feel free to argue with us in the comments.
