To conquer Zero's death game in *Tribe Nine*, assembling a formidable team is crucial. With a diverse roster of characters at your disposal, selecting the best ones can significantly boost your chances of survival and victory. Below is a comprehensive tier list to guide you in choosing the most effective characters.
Best Characters in Tribe Nine
| Tier | Character |
|---|---|
| S | Tsuruko Semba, Miu Jujo, Q, Minami Oi, Enoki Yukigaya |
| A | Eiji Todoroki, Jio Takinogawa, Yo Kuronaka |
| B | Roku Saigo, Koishi Kohinata |
| C | Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, Hyakuichitaro Senju |
S-Tier
The S-tier characters in *Tribe Nine* are the cream of the crop, offering unmatched versatility and power. Leading the pack is Tsuruko Semba, a standout support character capable of dealing damage while simultaneously enhancing your team's performance. Her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, not only applies the Turning Tides buff to the entire party but also inflicts damage on enemies. Her fluid movement allows her to excel as a damage dealer as well, making her an essential asset.
Miu Jujo, another S-tier character, shines as an Attacker with her ability to deploy Luminous Crystals, which inflict damage over time (DoT) to enemies within their area. Coupled with her high speed and powerful ultimate, she's perfect for dodging enemy attacks and dealing significant damage.
Q, a Tank unit, is valued for his high Break Ability and potent attack skills. He accumulates Fighting Will stacks, which he can unleash to amplify his damage output. Pairing him with Tsuruko Semba and an Attacker maximizes his effectiveness.
Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi is a formidable healer. Her drone companion switches between healing and aggressive modes, making her a versatile hybrid DPS. Her ranged attacks are beginner-friendly, enabling new players to dodge enemy attacks more easily.
Enoki Yukigaya, another top Attacker, gains Heat stacks through combos and counterattacks. Once enough Heat is accumulated, she can unleash devastating special skills, making her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

A-Tier
A-tier characters, while not as powerful as S-tier, are still highly effective. Eiji Todoroki, an Attacker, boasts strong attack skills and sustain abilities. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces incoming damage by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a resilient fighter.
Jio Takinogawa serves as a reliable Tank, capable of taunting enemies and reducing damage taken. Although his damage output is limited, he's a solid choice, especially for beginners.
The protagonist, Yo Kuronaka, offers a high Break Ability but suffers from a somewhat clunky moveset. His damage isn't on par with S-tier units, yet he remains a viable option for those looking to build around him.
B-Tier
B-tier characters like Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata are serviceable but lack the standout abilities of higher tiers. Roku is a decent Fighter with medium damage output, while Koishi, a free Healer, is useful for new players but should be replaced with a stronger Healer when possible.
C-Tier
C-tier characters such as Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju are adequate for early to mid-game but may hinder progress in the endgame. While Tsuki Iroha is a free unit, investing in Koishi Kohinata is recommended. Yutaka Gotanda is a passable Tank, and Hyakuichitaro Senju offers average damage dealing capabilities.
This tier list is a strategic guide to help you navigate *Tribe Nine*'s challenging gameplay. As new characters are introduced, the rankings may shift, so keep an eye on updates and consider your personal playstyle when making your selections.
