Added a new tier, "Niche Meta", for characters that are "meta" but only for very specific uses (e.g. one ABX day, one Squad Battle bracket). This consists entirely of characters that used to be in the Meta tier.
Since this is technically still a 7.4 Tier List, the borders for the previous version have not been removed (e.g. Daredevil still marked red for "demoted"). Despite being "demoted", Wave retains her white border since she is still "new".

- Scarlet Witch demoted from Niche Meta #1 to A Tier #7 (below Knull) and Support Meta #5 (below Hela).
- Thena promoted from A Tier #1 to Meta #6. Since this was a buff in the 7.6.5 patch it has been flagged purple.
- 7.6.5 to 7.7
Important Changes
Due to the "A Tier" becoming too packed, it has been split roughly in half - the better half remaining in "A Tier", the rest going to "B Tier", and what was previously "B Tier" is now in a new tier named "C Tier".
The split was made roughly so that the characters in A Tier can feasibly solo WBL on an average mid-to-late-game account, or have equivalent value in other gamemodes if WBL is not the character's specialty.
I have also included a table in the "Information" popup that gives more information on the tiers - shown below:
Tier Meaning Meta The best characters in the game right now. It is recommended that you build these - though the more expensive ones might not be ideal for newer players. Niche Meta Characters who have specific uses in endgame, but only for specific modes. Characters in Niche Meta are often not "better" than characters in high A Tier in general, but have specific niches that make them worth building for players who wish to push those gamemodes. Support Meta Characters with excellent lead/support abilities. Generally the first few of each type are worth building. A Tier Characters who aren't the best in the game, but are still viable in late-game modes if you build them well. B Tier Characters who could be considered "decent" if well-built, but aren't recommended. C Tier Characters who are usable by modern standards, but you shouldn't expect too much from them anywhere outside Shadowland. Support Characters with decent lead/support abilities, but you can do without them. Expansion Pack Characters who are terribly dated - even stacking their builds won't do much, so it's best to just wait for them to get uniforms. New Character Rankings
Note: Spider-Man is shown in his Integrated Suit as his PvP value exceeds his PvE value - thus, the PvP-centric uniform is used.

Character Tags CTPs Kingpin Leader / Dealer / PvE Rage / Energy Spider-Man Dealer / PvE / PvP Regen / Authority / Reforged Destruction Black Cat Support / PvE Insight Demotions
Character From To Shang-Chi Meta #3 A Tier #1 Apocalypse Niche Meta #3 B Tier #6 Reforged CTPD
To better reflect the fact that CTPD recommendations are for Mighty/Brilliant only (since regular is not that useful), a new icon with a pink background was added to reflect that it is the Reforged versions that are being recommended. The following characters were changed from the regular CTPD icon to the new one:
- Sersi
- Moonstone
- Hela
- 7.7 to 7.7.5

Note: Colossus did not get a "Main Placement" as he is still nothing more than a support.

Information
Tiers
An explanation of what the various tiers mean is below.
Tier | Meaning |
---|---|
Meta | The best characters in the game right now. It is recommended that you build these - though the more expensive ones might not be ideal for newer players. |
Niche Meta | Characters who have specific uses in endgame, but only for specific modes. Characters in Niche Meta are often not "better" than characters in high A Tier in general, but have specific niches that make them worth building for players who wish to push those gamemodes. |
Support Meta | Characters with excellent lead/support abilities. Generally the first few of each type are worth building. |
A Tier | Characters who aren't the best in the game, but are still viable in late-game modes if you build them well. |
B Tier | Characters who could be considered "decent" if well-built, but aren't recommended. |
C Tier | Characters who are usable by modern standards, but you shouldn't expect too much from them anywhere outside Shadowland. |
Support | Characters with decent lead/support abilities, but you can do without them. |
Expansion Pack | Characters who are terribly dated - even stacking their builds won't do much, so it's best to just wait for them to get uniforms. |
Placements
- Placements are decided based on characters' overall usefulness, not their raw power. A character that is "weaker" than another may be ranked higher just because there is a niche they can fill.
- Characters are graded according to their type (i.e. Combat, Blast, Speed, Universal). Comparisons are not intended to be made between different types, even if they are in the same row.
- The cost of acquiring/building characters is not taken into account. Characters are assumed to be built to their maximum potential: this includes Artifacts.
- The rankings below A-tier are less exact than the higher rows.
C.T.P. Recommendations
- Note that putting C.T.P.s on anyone below Meta is only recommended if you really like a specific character or if you're a whale. The C.T.P.s listed are not advising you to equip that C.T.P. on that character, they are just showing what is optimal.
- Some C.T.P. recommendations may not be 100% correct, and the recommendations shown lack nuance (e.g. which CTPs are better for PvE or PvP). It is advised that you look for more detailed information on specific characters you want to build, rather than looking at this list, which is intended to be a quick overview.
Feedback/Suggestions
Questions about placements or other feedback and suggestions can be provided in this Discord server: LINK.
Proc-Friendliness
Certain characters have "proc-friendliness" ratings that are meant to complement their rotations. This provides information on which Custom Gear effect they perform better with: a one-time damage increase (Proc) or persistent increase (Rage).
If you do not know what any of this means, check out Part 5 of the Beginner's Guide.
Notes:
- All the rankings here are subjective to a degree. If you completely disagree with something, please raise it in the THANO$VIB$ Discord.
- The C.T.P. of Energy is used to indicate proc-friendliness, and C.T.P. of Rage for non-proc-friendliness, as they are the classic examples of each. However:
- An Obelisk with a Damage Proc or a C.T.P. of Destruction also works for proc-friendly characters.
- A C.T.P. of Judgement (where applicable) also works for non-proc-friendly characters.
- Note that a "mini rage" (Obelisk with Rage effect) is not included above - most characters that are not very proc friendly would still perform better using a suboptimal rotation and a Obelisk with a proc.
- Please do not take this section as recommending to equip a Rage to certain characters. It considers only the character's skillset in isolation, not how relevant they are overall (which should be the basis of your C.T.P. choices).
- There may be cases where you equip a Rage on a character who is more proc-friendly than another, just because that character is usable in more content.
- In some cases, you may even want to equip a Rage on a perfectly proc-friendly character, if they are most useful in modes where Rage is simply better than Energy/Destruction (e.g. Alliance Battle).
Proc-friendliness ratings consist of 4 scales, described below.
