Tribe Nineis a gacha game set in a dystopian cyberpunk future where a group of rebels fight against corruption in Neo Tokyo. The game is divided into 2.5D exploration segments and action combat, similar to games like Zenless Zone Zero or Bayonetta.

Each character has their own role and playstyle, but resources don’t come easily, so you’ll want to focus on your strongest members to make it through the game’s tougher fights. Below, we’ll take a look at who the best Tribe Nine characters are in a handy tier list.

A-Tier Characters

These characters are either decently strong or are better suited to niche situations.

Hyakuichitaro Senju

Has a strong party-wide shield that can absorb hits, protecting the team with few downsides.

Jio Takinogawa

High damage and break value; attacks using Venom, dealing damage over time.

Mita Santaro

Has a guaranteed dodge that makes him a strong evade tank.

Roku Saigo

A strong tank with high damage reduction and the ability to heal himself as he takes damage.

Tsuki Iroha

Decent supportive abilities and relatively good damage and break value, but doesn’t necessarily stand out.

Yutaka Gotanda

High damage and very easy playstyle, but relatively low break value and hitting multiple enemies can sometimes require tricky positioning.

B-Tier Characters

These characters can still be viable in some situations, but are not widely used due to limited application or weaker kits.

Eiji Todoroki

Has strong buffs for the team, including the ability to raise Tension, but has very low damage and the AI does not play him efficiently.

Koishi Kohinata

Koishi has decent healing but not much else stands out in his kit, making off-healers like Yo or Tsuruko strictly better.

Minami Oi

Minami has strong healing but not very much damage, and the healing provided by Yo or Tsuruko is often enough for most fights.
