Although some characters have been included in the last update, not all of them have the same role in a team. Some of them are healers and some of them are shielders. However, the majority are DPS. Why is this? Because it’s the people’s favourite role due to the tons of damage they deal. In this tier, we include all the old and new DPS characters and rate them from 1st to 11th depending on how powerful we think they are.
