Check out our latest Arknights tier list, which we have recently updated. Start winning more in-game battles by using the best Arknights operators in the current game meta.
ARKNIGHTS Tier list updated for June 2022
Arknights Tier List Ranking Meaning:
S+ Tier – These are the best operators in Arknights in the current meta. They are overpowered and pretty much good at clearing any content. You should invest in these characters as soon as possible.
S Tier – These are also excellent Arknights characters. While not as powerful as the S-tier ones, they are still able to clear most content easily.
A Tier – Not great, not bad also. Play with them only if you don’t have anything else to substitute within your team.
B Tier – Not really worth investing in these Arknights heroes, unless you literally have nothing else, and even then you should save your resources for other characters.
C Tier – These Arknights operators are underwhelming to say the least, so you should probably avoid using these in your battles if you want easier wins.
D Tier – These are the lowest-ranked operators in our Arknights tier list and for good reason. They don’t really excel at anything, and there are far better units that you can use and play with. Avoid these at all costs, unless you know what you’re doing.
Arknights Operators Tier List
How Did We Create this Tier List?
As we do with all our tier lists, we always do a lot of research before publishing a tier list for a game. We’ve gone through a lot of Arknight YouTube videos, forum discussions, Discord, and the Arknight subreddit to create this Arknight tier list.
But…
You should always keep in mind that what works for some players might not work for others, and it also depends on the team synergy. Not to mention the fact that with any game update, this Arknight tier list can change.
Still, this is only our own opinion of the game, and it’s not meant to be 100% accurate.
Arknights Best Operators
What we focused on when ranking the characters:
- Role type
- Base Stats
- Skills
- DPS Output
- Healing Output
We mainly focused on each operator’s base stats, skills, DPS, and healing aspect, but keep in mind that team synergy and strategy matter a lot in a game like Arknights. You can even clear content with lower-tier operators if the team has a good synergy and you know what you’re doing.
Overall the best Arknights characters for each class type are:
