To conquer Zero's death game in *Tribe Nine*, assembling a formidable team is crucial. With a plethora of characters to choose from, here's a breakdown of the top picks you should aim to recruit for your squad.
Best Characters in Tribe Nine
Here's a detailed tier list to guide your character selection in *Tribe Nine*:Tier | Character |
---|---|
S | Tsuruko Semba, Miu Jujo, Q, Minami Oi, Enoki Yukigaya |
A | Eiji Todoroki, Jio Takinogawa, Yo Kuronaka |
B | Roku Saigo, Koishi Kohinata |
C | Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, Hyakuichitaro Senju |
S-Tier

The S-tier in *Tribe Nine* boasts five exceptional characters, with Tsuruko Semba standing out as the game's top pick. As a versatile support, Tsuruko can boost your team with her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, which applies the Turning Tides buff to the entire party while simultaneously dealing damage to foes. Her fluid movement also allows her to excel as a damage dealer, making her a vital asset.
Miu Jujo, another S-tier gem, is an Attacker with potent abilities. Her unique skill involves deploying Luminous Crystals on the battlefield, which inflict Damage Over Time (DoT) on enemies within their range. Coupled with her high speed and evasion capabilities, Miu is an ideal choice for dealing damage while dodging enemy attacks.
Q, a Tank with high Break Ability, excels at accumulating stacks of Fighting Will, which he can unleash to amplify his attacks. Pairing him with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker maximizes his potential.
Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi proves her worth as a healer. Her drone companion switches between healing and aggressive modes, adding extra damage output. Though her damage isn't the highest, her ranged attacks and ease of use make her a great choice, especially for new players.
Enoki Yukigaya, another formidable Attacker, leverages Heat stacks gained from combos and counterattacks. Once enough Heat is accumulated, she unleashes a devastating special skill on her enemies.

A-Tier

Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, combines strong offensive capabilities with sustain skills. His Brilliant Me! ability reduces damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him resilient during combat.
Jio Takinogawa serves as a reliable Tank, able to taunt enemies and reduce incoming damage. While his damage output is limited, he remains a solid pick, particularly for beginners.
Yo Kuronaka, the protagonist, offers a high Break Ability but is hindered by a somewhat awkward moveset. His damage isn't on par with S-tier units, yet he's still a viable option for those looking to build him up.
B-Tier

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier category. Roku, a Fighter, delivers medium damage but lacks standout abilities. Koishi, a free Healer you receive early on, is serviceable for new players but should be replaced with a stronger Healer once available.
C-Tier

C-tier characters include Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju. These units can be useful in the early and mid-game but may hinder your progress in the endgame. Tsuki Iroha, a free unit, is outshined by Koishi Kohinata. Yutaka Gotanda is a passable Tank, while Hyakuichitaro Senju provides average damage.
