Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the tier list updated?+

We update the tier list after every major patch and balance change. Minor adjustments are made weekly based on community feedback and PvP performance data.

Why is Hoop Demon S tier?+

Hoop Demon earns S tier due to its unmatched burst damage and aggressive pressure. In skilled hands, Hoop Demon overwhelms defensive options and dominates both 1v1 and gang fights. Its flashy combo sequences deal the highest damage per engagement.

Are lower-tier styles useless?+

Not at all. Lower-tier styles excel in specific niches and player matchups. Hakari's balanced burst damage is underrated, and Boxing's pressure is devastating in the right hands. Tier rankings reflect overall power, not absolute usefulness.

Does the meta change often?+

The meta shifts with each major update. GakuranDev typically releases balance patches periodically. Sign up for our Discord to get notified about tier list changes as they happen.
