How to use the tier list
- Use it as a first-pass recommendation, not a final authority
- Update it when the game balance changes
- Keep the explanation short so readers can scan it fast
- Link each tier to the matching class or build page
This page should rank the available classes, weapons, or builds in a simple way that is easy to update as the meta changes. Keep the ranking broad and readable.
Readers want a quick ranking that helps them decide what to start with. This page should make that decision simple and then send them to the more detailed class, weapon, and build pages.
Use these tiers as a placeholder framework until the live meta exists. The names can stay, but the entries should be replaced with real recommendations as soon as the game has enough data.
These are the safest or strongest choices for most players. They should be the first recommendations on the page.
Good picks for most situations with only a small tradeoff in convenience or power compared with the top tier.
Useful when the player likes the style or has the right build, but not the first place to send new users.
Keep the reasons simple so the ranking can survive balance changes. The page should explain why something sits where it does.
| Criterion | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of use | How simple the option is for a new player | Important for fast-launch search traffic |
| Power ceiling | How strong the option can become with skill | Helps advanced players trust the page |
| Flexibility | How well the option works across modes or situations | Makes the ranking useful even when the meta changes |
| Early-game value | How strong it feels before a player is well geared | Critical for launch-period searches |
Once the game settles, split tiers into separate ranking pages if needed. The structure should stay the same no matter what content sits inside it.
One-line explanation of what the tier list covers and when it should be updated.
