This Hollow Traits guide is in two parts where the first part is the overall tier list for the general power of each trait. Then, we’ll dive into the best traits for individual builds since a specific trait can be weak for one build and strong for another. Here’s my VV Ultimatum Hollow Trait tier list and guide.

Best Hollow Trait in VV Ultimatum

The best Hollow traits for each build are in the S-Tier and I would generally bring Iron Skin on all of them. Then, the A-Tier has some great third and fourth-slot options. The B-Tier is for situational traits that can be a filler for you build and I wouldn’t use the C-Tier traits since they’re much weaker than the rest. Check out the individual ranking reasons for all Hollow Traits below.

Tip: Check out our Clan Tier List for the best Clan and Hollow Trait combos.

S-Tier Hollow Traits

Hollow Trait	Ranking Breakdown	Effect
Iron Skin Visual Effect: You gain thick iron-like skin, similar to an Arrancar’s Hierro.	• Great defensive tool for any build • Especially Hakuda, Speed and Strength	+4% Melee Defense +35% Posture Regen
Wings Visual Effects: Gain large wings	• Must-have for any Speed build • Great for Hakuda and Strength too	+3% Movement Speed +5% Shunpo Stamina +3% Shunpo Speed
Deadly Claws Visual Effects: Blunt attacks become sharp	• Must-have for Hakuda builds	+3% Hakuda Damage +0.1 Max AP
Tailbone Visual Effects: Long bony tail	• Must-have for Kido builds	Increased cero damage by 20% Cero is 25% thinner

A-Tier Hollow Traits

Hollow Trait	Ranking Breakdown	Effect
Energized Visual Effects: Explosive power bubbles beneath your skin	• Great second/third trait for a Kido build after Tailbone	+2% Kido Damage Weapon damage slightly scales off your kido stat.
Dense Muscles Visual Effects: Increased muscle density.	• Great second/third trait for Strength, Hakuda and Speed builds	+1% Weapon Damage +1% Hakuda Damage Ressureccion duration increased by 45s
Exoskeleton Visual Effects: You get a stronger skeletal structure	• Exoskeleton and Giant serve the same purpose as your second tanking trait after Iron Skin • They’re not a must-have but an extra defensive option if you need it (Don’t take all three) • I prefer Exoskeleton due to the health pack and posture plus a lower speed reduction	+2% Melee Defense +5 Posture 15% Bigger healthpack from Resurrection -2% Movement Speed
Giant Visual Effects: Your model becomes slightly bigger	• Exoskeleton and Giant serve the same purpose as your second tanking trait after Iron Skin • They’re not a must-have but an extra defensive option if you need it (Don’t take all three) • Giant is more defense if you prefer it but you’re also slower • Still worthwhile as your second tanking trait	+5% Melee Defense +2% Kido defense -5% Movement Speed

B-Tier Hollow Traits

Hollow Trait	Ranking Breakdown	Effect
Back Scales Visual Effects: Get an Insect-like vertebrae	• A decent fourth Kido build trait • It’s not as powerful straight-up as Tailbone and Energized though due to the drawback • The prolonged Resurrection is pretty good though	Cero Charges 12% Faster Resurrection duration increased by 45s Cero damage reduced by 5%
Skinny Visual Effect: Become a skinnier hollow	• Decent alternative for a Speed build to help you dodge AOEs and other moves • Much weaker than Wings and and Dense Muscles on a Speed build due to you taking extra damage	+7.5% Movement Speed -1.2% Melee Defense

C-Tier Hollow Traits

Hollow Trait	Ranking Breakdown	Effect
Horns Visual Effect: Gain large horns	• Decent for Kido builds but not needed since the hitbox is already pretty responsive • Not worth over other Kido traits in the higher-tiers	Increased cero width of 35% Increased cero length of 10%
Tentacles Visual Change: Gain twin tentacles	• Overall, not as good as other damage traits since you’ll, on average, trigger it once in 6-7 hits which means those 5-6 hits that didn’t trigger it were with a damage debuff and the poison usually doesn’t make up for it DPS-wise	16% chance to inflict poison damage on melee attacks -1% Weapon Damage
Innocuous Presence	• It’s great for avoiding PVP ganks but it’s not really a strong part of any build	Your name is hidden Your reiatsu signature is hidden Resurrection duration increased by 20s +5% Movement Speed

How to Get and Change Hollow Traits

Hollow Traits are part of the Hollow progression and you can get them as a Gillian, Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde by eating dead hollows. All traits can be dropped by any hollow. You can refuse a trait if you don’t want it (Check the tier list and builds above for the ones you need). You cannot gain traits as an Arrancar. After evolving to Arrancar, Hollow Traits will only be active during your Resurrection mode. The amount of traits you can have depends on your current stage:

• Base: 2 Traits
• Adjuchas: 3 Traits
• Vasto Lorde: 4 Traits

I’ll go through all Quincy, Shinigami and Hollow clans and rank them according to the best Weapon, Hakuda and Kido builds. Some factions have access to better clans for a specific build so we’ll discuss that too. Here’s my VV Ultimatum Clan tier list and reroll guide.

VV Ultimatum Quincy Clan Tier List

The best Quincy clans in VV: Ultimatum are Kurosaki and Ishida/Haschwalth. This means that Quincy have great Clans for both a Weapon build with the former and a Kido build with the latter. There’s some great defensive options too in the A-Tier but overall there’s only a minor Hakuda build boost here with Eisenhouer unlike with Hollow Clans where there’s more powerful Hakuda boosters. Ranking reasons are below.

S-Tier Quincy Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Kurosaki Legendary	• Weapon builds are the most common and Kurosaki is the best boost you can get for it • Plus you get some Rei and Shunpo Speed as utility	+2 Reiatsu +2% Weapon Damage +5 Shunpo Speed
Ishida & Haschwalth Rare	• Both Ishida and Haschwalth are the best Kido skill tree build clans • Just pick whether you rather want a +0.5% more Kido DMG or more Shunpo Stamina	Ishida +2% Kido Damage +5 Shunpo Stamina Haschwalth +2.5% Kido Damage

A-Tier Quincy Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Eisenhouer Legendary	• Offense is a bit more valuable than defense once you learn parry timings so Eisenhouer is weaker than Weapon/Kido DMG boosting clans • Still, you have great defenses since melee is more common and a little Hakuda skill tree boost if you’re going Hakuda	Gain a Metal Arm +3% Melee Defense +5 Posture +0.5% Hakuda Damage
Kraus Uncommon	• A weaker version of Eisenhouer but still a decent defensive boost since it’s both against melee and kido	+1.5% Melee Defense +1% Kido Defense
Richter Common	• Offense is slightly more valuable than defense so Richter is actually not a bad pick for boosting weapon damage • It’s the best beginner clan for Quincy too	+1% Weapon Damage +2.5 Posture

B-Tier Quincy Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Parnkgjas Rare	• Parnkgjas is a bit situational since melee builds tend to be more common than Kido builds • In the same vein, that -1% Melee Defense hurts since most are building for melee • It’s the weakest Rare for sure	+3.5% Kido Defense -1% Melee Defense
Wernarr Uncommon	• Decent defensive alternative to the higher tiers if you’re a beginner • Otherwise spin for A or S-Tier	+5 Health +2.5% Posture Regen

C-Tier Quincy Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Schulte Common	• Virtually useless compared to higher-tier clans	+5 Equipment Load

VV Ultimatum Shinigami/Soul Reaper Clan Tier List

Shinigami Clans are similar to Quincy where you have great options for a Weapon and Kido damage builds as you’ll see below. Hakuda isn’t as strong here as with Hollows but Shihoin is still quite strong due to her Shunpo/mobility boosts. Check out the ranking reasons for each clan below.

S-Tier Shinigami Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Shihoin Legendary	• Amazing mobility which is great on all builds • Plus you get a small Hakuda buff and also a Lightning Damage buff for Kido moves like Raikoho/Zangerin • Shines when you mix Hakuda and Kido	+12.5 Shunpo Stamina +5 Shunpo Speed +0.5% Lightning Damage +0.5 Hakuda Damage
Kuchiki Rare	• The best Kido skill tree damage buff Clan if you’re focusing on Kido • Shihoin is better if you’re mixing with Hakuda	+3% Kido Damage
Yamamoto Rare	• The best Weapon damage build clan • Yamamoto is better than Komamura once you learn parry timings since it has higher damage, better Shunpo and doesn’t have the Kido damage debuff	+2% Weapon Damage +5 Shunpo Stamina

A-Tier Shinigami Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Komamura Legendary	• Great for beginners who get hit a lot in melee due to an impressive defense boost • That said, Yamamoto has better weapon damage and Komamura takes more damage from Kido • It’s still a great clan but I value defense slightly less than offense	You become a Wolfman +4% Melee Defense +1% Melee Damage -2% Kido Defense

B-Tier Shinigami Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Hisagi Uncommon	• The second-best pure Kido build boost • Good for Kido beginners • Kuchiki is just straight-up better so get it when you can	+1.2% Kido Damage +3% Posture Regen

VV Ultimatum Hollow Clan Tier List

The best Hollow clans in VV Ultimatum are Cifer for Kido, Jaegerjaquez for Hakuda and Kufang for Weapon DMG. Check out the more detailed ranking reasons below. One special note is that Hollows have the best Hakuda build Clan in the game with Jaegerjaquez with a close second being the Shihoin from Shinigami Clans.

S-Tier Hollow Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Cifer Legendary	• Not only are you the best Kido build Clan • Cifers also prolong their mode by a fifth of its original duration which is incredibly strong for PVP and PVE • The longer mode is great on all builds	+20% Longer Ressureccion +2.0% Kido DMG +5.0 Reiatsu +2.5 Shunpo Stamina
Jaegerjaquez Rare	• The best Hakuda build Clan for Hollows and also the entire game since neither Quincy nor Shinigami have a stronger Hakuda clan	+3.0% Hakuda DMG +3.0 Shunpo Stamina
Kufang Rare	• The best Weapon build Clan for Hollows • Cifer is stronger if you’re mixing in a bit of Kido since you also get longer mode	+2.5% Weapon DMG +0.5% Kido Defense

A-Tier Hollow Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Aaroniero Legendary	• Cifer is much stronger for Hollow Kido builds due to both the longer mode and the lack of the Melee defense debuff • Still a strong Kido Clan but the Melee defense debuff hurts since most players are using melee builds right now	+2.2% Kido DMG +5.0 Reiatsu +1.5% Kido Defense -1.5% Melee Defense

B-Tier Hollow Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Antenor Rare	• A Lightning Damage boost is more niche than a general Kido or Melee damage boost • That said it does boost the Kido moves and Arrancar resurrections that do lightning damage like Electro • Still, being locked into a specific ability makes this B-Tier	+1.5% Lightning DMG +7.5% Posture Regen
Gingerbuck Uncommon	• Melee builds are common so this is a nice little defensive boost for beginners	+2.0% Melee Defense +5.0 Posture
Murciellago Common	• Decent mobility boost for PVP since Shunpo is an important resource	+5.0 Shunpo Stamina +10.0 Shunpo Speed

C-Tier Hollow Clans

Clan	Ranking Breakdown	Clan Bonuses
Lousienbairn Uncommon	• A beginner clan that you should reroll when you can	+5.0 Health +3.5 Posture

This Devil Hunter tier list will rank both Devil Contracts for Human players and Fiend movesets for Fiend players. The best options depend on both whether you're looking to focus on PVE, PVP or both as well as whether you're a beginner or playing late-game content. I'll dive into everything in this Devil Hunter Contract and Fiend tier list.

Devil Hunter Contract Tier List

For Human players the best Devil Contract in Devil Hunter are above where S-Tier is best for PVP and PVE, A-Tier leans toward PVE but can do PVP, B-Tier is PVE focused and the rest are underpowered. Check out the detailed ranking reason descriptions below. Note that there are some Faction-specific contracts (see below). As for Katana Man Hybrid, it's technically also a contract since it's Human-specific and you can count it as around A-Tier (It's decent for both PVP and PVE but not the best).

Faction Exclusive Devil Contracts

• Public Safety: Curse and Future Devil (Elevator - Floor 0)
• Yakuza: Zombie (Zombie Raid Drop), Snake (Yakuza Quest) & Katana Hybrid (Farm 5 Katana Fragments in the Raid)

S-Tier Contracts

S-Tier Devil Contracts	Ranking Explained
Snake	• A very late-game contract since the quest has you fight a bunch of bosses so you need to learn a lot of parry patterns • That said, it's one of the most powerful late-game contracts for two reasons • First, the M1 and M2 variants deal a ton of damage • Second, you can swallow low HP devils with the M1 variant and then resummon them to fight for you using the M1 variant again
Ghost	• High bar costs so it's better later once you grind it but it's really strong • This is because of the M1 and M2 grabs being really good combo starters and extenders • The summon on max favor is also a powerful DPS and field control tool both in PVP and PVE (Hold RMB on a player that knocked you)
Future	• Easy to get and gives you one of the most powerful Contract skills in the game - The Counter • Instantly counters any move if timed right and deals a hefty chunk of damage • If you land 3 in a row you get an auto-dodge chance • Amazing for PVP but can also be good for PVE • Combo it with Medium Counter Overhead Reprisal for two iFrame counter sources making you almost unkillable in PVP
Mantis	• A PVP oriented contract that allows you to summon the Mantis arm grab for combo extension • You can grab players while in ragdoll, after uppercuts and to extend combos so it's really good • Just note that players have a small window to dodge if they're good since the grab is telegraphed by red light
Curse	• The quest is tedious to complete since it resets on death but it's worth since you get both curse skills and a weapon • The sword you get deals great damage and is good for combo extension in PVP • It's also a strong contract for PVE since the M1s and Crit deal a lot of damage • You just have to get used to landing the moves at the right time but all in all it's a PVP beast

A-Tier Contracts

A-Tier Devil Contracts	Ranking Explained
Zombie	• You get summons which are excellent in PVE and decent for PVP ganks • Note that players who kill your summons get health packs so it's not that OP for PVP • You can get this as a 10% drop via the Zombie Raid though it's a bit buggy right now for the contract
Fox	• Easy to get and a great beginner contract that is really strong for PVE • You get both an M1 and M2 variant that deal excellent damage in Missions and Raids • That said note that while it works great in PVE, the M2 variant is really hard to land in PVP
Sea Cucumber	• Similar to Fox where it works great for PVE but gets weaker later on for PVP • The two moves deal great damage and the M2 Variant lock-on is great for stomping beginner players in PVP • But later on players will perfect block it or perfect dodge it by waiting and expecting it

B-Tier Contracts

B-Tier Devil Contracts	Ranking Explained
Leech	• Really easy to hit in Raids and Missions dealing damage and giving you a health pack making it amazing for PVE • A bit harder to land in PVP but easier than Bat so it's pretty good
Bat	• Great PVE grinding tool that deals a lot of damage and gives you an AOE option • It's easy to side step dodge or block in PVP since there's a slow wind-up • That said run this in PVE for sure giving you a great damage tool for Raids and Missions
Stone	• Easy to get and use Stun so it's good for beginners • That said, it's not the best later since the move is channeled in place • This means that if you miss or you're fighting multiple players in PVP you'll get easily punished • It's pretty decent for PVE though since it's easier to land the stun

C-Tier Contracts

C-Tier Devil Contracts	Ranking Explained
Tomato	• Nerfed a lot so it's not as good anymore, especially since the M1 variant has a slow wind-up that is easy to dodge in PVP • Still, the pseudo revive from M2 is pretty good for both PVP and PVE and PVE enemies are easier to hit with the M1 variant • Overall a beginner-friendly PVE choice
Frog	• Unlike the Frog Devil Talent for Fiends, Tongue Snatch, the Frog contract moveset isn't the best • This is because the grab move is slow and easily dodged • It's not particularly good in PVP nor PVE • The only saving grace is that it's decent in PVP if you land it on players who don't dodge well
Mold	• Similar to Frog where you get one move that's easy to dodge • It's perhaps even harder to hit in PVP than Frog but it's easier and better in PVE so it balanced out for C-Tier

D-Tier Contracts

D-Tier Devil Contracts	Ranking Explained
Fish	• Kind of like Tomato but without the second move making it drastically worse Worse than Mold since it potentially deals less damage

Devil Hunter Fiend Tier List

When it comes to the best Fiend in Devil Hunters the choices are much more limited than contracts. You have Fiend Passives from consuming Fiend parts but only 4 movesets. That said, Fiend M1s are much stronger due to being kind of desynced right now so you can spam them for a lot of unpredictable damage. Below you'll find ranking explanations for each Fiend's moveset.

If there's interest, I'll add a tier list on all Fiend Talents.

D-Tier Devil Contracts	Ranking Explained
S-Tier Power	• Fast M1s, multi-hit skills, and moves that don't cancel on parries all make Power the best PVP Fiend option • That said it's also really strong for PVE dealing a lot of damage
A-Tier Shark	• Dive is such a powerful ability that can be used both offensively and defensively • It's a great combo starter and extender plus you can run away with it or reposition • Jaws and Maul deal a ton of damage and are really good but require good combos to land them since otherwise they're easily dodged • With that in mind Shark is really strong but requires setup with other moves or else it's unreliable
A-Tier Angel	• Angel by itself isn't that strong but it gets so much better when you combine it with the Frog Devil talent Tongue Snatch • This means that your skill and M1 combos will always be pulling an enemy toward you for Year Drain healing • Couple this with Life Leech from the Leech Devil and you'll have a strong PVE and PVP build that sustains its HP really well
B-Tier Nail	• The multi-hit crit is really good for PVP • That's about where the PVP power of this Fiend moveset ends • Still it's decent for PVE though

The best units in Anime Story depend on what role you need and what game mode you're playing. I'll show you the best single-target, AOE, Tank and Support units to bring to all game modes, even for farming. Here's my Anime Story tier list and unit guide.

Best Anime Story Unit Tier List

I've split the tier list into three sections for the best DPS units in Anime Story like single-target and AOE as well as best Tanks and Supports. I'll provide individual ranking reasons for all of them below. Afterwards, I'll talk about the best teams in the game for Raids, Progression/Tower and Farming as well as best Traits and Relics to use. For now, here are the tier breakdowns:

• Meta: Must-have units that transcend roles due to incredible DPS and utility.
• S-Tier: There are three tiers like this for DPS/Tanks/Supports which include the best units within their role.
• A-Tier: Either situationally powerful or build-specific units that are excellent alternatives if you don't have the S-Tiers. There are three tiers like this for DPS/Tanks/Supports.
• B-Tier: Underpowered DPS Mythics that are good early but struggle in late-game content.
• C-Tier: Beginner units that you shouldn't use in the later stages of the game.

Evolutions: I have ranked all units according to their EVO stats taking into account their highest potential. You can consider that the Non-EVO equivalents are either on the bottom of the same tier or one tier below. For example, base non-EVO Pride is still an S-/A+ Tier tank.

Meta DPS

Meta DPS	Ranking Reason	Ability
Vogita (Purple) Secret Single-Target	• One of the strongest units for raids and extended late-game fights due to infinite scaling • Theoretically, the best unit in the game if given enough time • That said, not the best for quick farm comps where you want to clear some levels in seconds • Evolve Vogita (Blue) using Scantron drops from World 1	Every round gain 75% more Damage
Roku (Ultra) Secret Single-Target	• Weaker than Vogita in extended fights but better for quick fights due to massive single-target damage • Plus you get to go first which is amazing for bursting down single enemies and eliminating their turn before they get to act • Evolve Roku (Blue) with materials from the Dragon Ball Raid Act 6	Allows all allies to start battle first
Mazara (Susanoo) Mythic 5-Target	• The best AOE damage unit in the entire game with some of the highest DPS in the game multi-hit-wise	If enemy is stronger, deal 150% more DMG
Kaizen (Kido) Exclusive/Limited Single-Target	• Some of the highest single-target DPS you can reach in Anime Story • Outdamages Roku Ultra in single-target but Roku is still incredibly useful for the first-strike, especially in later fights	Every 2nd attack, deal 100% more DMG
Reaper (Bankai) Mythic Single-Target	• Has high base damage due to being a single-target unit but can then do AOE damage on 4 units every third attack on average • Excellent DPS and can drastically increase if you get lucky and trigger the effect more often	35% chance to target 3 more units

S-Tier DPS

S DPS	Ranking Reason	Ability
Ant King Secret Single-Target	• Similar to Raven (Red) in terms of incredibly high single-target damage, especially in later fights due to % damage	50% chance to Poison a target for 15% of their Max HP
Roku (Blue) Secret Single-Target	• Same as Roku Ultra but weaker • I would still bring him due to the incredibly useful ability that allows you to take out an enemy before they start a turn	Allows all allies to start battle first
Ant King Secret Single-Target	• Only S-Tier because the EVO is incredibly strong • Only good in extended fights but you definitely want to rush EVO ASAP since the base version is much slower scaling • Personally I'd rather go with Raven EVO or Ant King over Vogita (Blue),	Every round gain 50% more Damage
Raven (Red) Mythic Single-Target	• Like Ant King Raven Red is one of the strongest single-target DPS Mythics in the game	50% chance to Burn a target for 100% DMG
Destruction Mythic 3-Target	• Amazing beginner Mythic and one of the best farm Mythics in the game • Deals impressive AOE DPS • That said, what makes him good is the farm potential due to the opening burst • Clears lower World stages in seconds for farming EVO materials • Also marks targets to boost your overall team damage	Upon enter, deal 100% DMG to all enemies. Each attack has a 30% chance to apply Mark

A-Tier DPS

A DPS	Ranking Reason	Ability
Dark Assassin Mythic Single-Target	• One of the best units in the game for Raids where he can execute low HP enemies • This gets you a ton of value since enemies have incredibly high HPs here • Otherwise, he has A-Tier DPS or lower outside of Raids and end-game content	Executes the target if it has 25% or less HP remaining
Gray (Ultimate) Mythic 5-Target	• Really good AOE DPS but the ability is slightly awkward if Gray doesn't take hits or you don't get lucky with crits • That's why he's lower in the A-Tier	Each Crit you land, heal for 1.5% Max HP
Wrath (Fury) Mythic Single-Target	• Situationally good healing units like Roku (Rose), Orihime or Sakura and with Gluttony/Merlin to buff him • In these builds Wrath can deal both great AOE and single-target damage • Otherwise you don't get much value from the ability so Wrath is very situational	35% chance to return 150% DMG to the attacker
Time Angel Mythic 3-Target	• A decent filler DPS, especially if you proc the ability on a high damage enemy • That said, Time Angel doesn't have a lot of synergy with other units so there's no OP combo potential and he doesn't scale well with buffs • He's A-Tier for raw stats alone	Every round start, 30% chance to make an enemy attack its allies

B-Tier DPS

B DPS	Ranking Reason	Ability
Gear Lupy Mythic Single-Target	• Everyone's favorite beginner Mythic that you'll use once you start and almost never again • He's unreliable for late game due to the randomness of his ability	Attacks randomly deal between 85% and 235% Damage
Demon One Mythic Single-Target	• Basically a weaker Raven when you EVO Raven	100% chance to Burn a target on hit for 30% DMG
Ethereal Archer Mythic 2-Target	• Can deal quite impressive AOE DPS but is more of a beginner unit since there are better DPS carries for your team	Increase Critical Chance by +35%
Super Roku Mythic Single-Target	• Just a decent beginner unit with slower-to-ramp but okay DPS, nothing wrong here • That said there are many better units	Every round gain +20% more Damage
Boo Mythic Single-Target	• While the damage is really good and the Mark is OP, Boo is very unreliable • In later story fights and Raids there are so many enemies where you won't even get a chance to constantly proc the mark • That's why it's awkward to use Boo and I wouldn't recommend him	Has 40% chance to apply Majin Power After 3 Majin Power stacks, the target is Marked and receives 200% DMG

C-Tier DPS

Sosuke, Youji and Agony are the worst Mythics in the game just in terms of being underpowered. They might get much better once they receive their EVOs. As for the Legendaries the best one is Levan in terms of DPS but decent options also include Acu, Xoro and Shibue for beginner comps.

S-Tier Tanks

S Tank	Ranking Reason	Ability
Shadow Knight Secret Single-Target	• Incredibly good tank in quick fights that don't drag on since he's unkillable for a short period of time	Gain a Damage Immunity Shield for 2 turns after the first time this unit takes a Fatal Hit
Pride (Sun) Mythic Single-Target	• The counterpart of Shadow Knight that deals more damage after death and is slightly better in longer fights	Increase DMG by 50% and after death, revive with 250% HP and 250% ATK
Greed (Fox) Exclusive/Limited Single-Target	• Very high-risk high-reward Tank that can last a long time if he deals good damage and is supported by a healer • That said if you don't have a healer like Roku Rose or Orihime to keep him from getting killed, he's much worse than Pride and SK if he dies • This is because Greed doesn't have a revive mechanic	Convert 75% of your DMG to HP
Titan Mythic 2-Target	• Titan is the weakest revive Tank but is still quite reliable as your starter tank until you get Pride or SK	Revives to 50% Max HP and gains a 50% DMG Boost after the first time this unit takes a Fatal Hit

A-Tier Tanks

A Tank	Ranking Reason	Ability
Ultimate Warrior Mythic Single-Target	• A DPS tank hybrid that's less reliable Defense wise but deals more damage than the average tank unit	When stunned, deal 200% DMG on the next attack
Ruki Legendary Single-Target	• Your starter tank before you get Titan or the higher-tier ones	Reduce incoming Damage by 30%

S-Tier Supports

S Support	Ranking Reason	Ability
Silent Bloom (Kageyoshi) Mythic 3-Target	• One of the best supports in the entire game, massively boosting your team's damage • Works great with high base damage units in the S and A-Tiers • Also deals impressive AOE damage himself	Upon entry, buff all allies’ Critical Chance by +30%
Lust Mythic Single-Target	• A quick little damage boost for all your units due to the Mark • Deals decent single-target damage • Works better with high single-target base damage units to make the most of the mark boost	Upon enter, Mark all enemiess to deal 30% more DMG on them
Roku (Rose) Limited/Exclusive 5-Target	• The best healer in the game if you have him • Works amazing for all modes to heal tanks and especially good with units who love heals like Wrath or Greed	At the start of the round, heal all allies for 25% Max HP
Gojin Mythic Single-Target	• A great alternative support option to keep your tanks and primary DPS alive for longer	Upon enter, debuff all enemies to deal -25% less Damage

A-Tier Supports

A Tank	Ranking Reason	Ability
Gluttony Exclusive/Limited Single-Target	• Can be quite powerful in a full Sin team but this is incredibly situational • That said, even in a full Sin team, while Pride is good, Wrath isn't the best main DPS without a healing support • Greed also requires a healer to be good • Gluttony can carry you in story but I would much rather have Silent Bloom as support instead of Sloth for Raids and late-game content	Buff all Seven Deadly Sins units Wrath, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Pride, Greed
White Lotus (Haze) Mythic Single-Target	• A decent support but the ability is a bit unreliable since you can't do it at will and must get this unit killed to benefit from it • Quite situational	Upon death Freeze 4 random enemies
Soul Guardian Legendary Single-Target	• A decent heal option if you don't have Roku Rose • That said, the healing is unreliable so this unit isn't the best to bring	20% to heal all teammates by 10%
Sloth Mythic 2-Target	• Similar to Soul Guardian where Sloth can be really strong but the proc chance is so low that you might not get value as often • Still a stun is one of the most powerful debuffs in the game once you activate it	10% to stun and apply a Mark on each attack
