Surviving Zero's death game in *Tribe Nine* requires assembling a formidable team of allies. With numerous units to choose from, it's crucial to focus on the best characters to maximize your chances of victory. Here's a comprehensive tier list to guide you in selecting the top characters for your squad.
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
In *Tribe Nine*, five characters stand out as S-tier, with Tsuruko Semba leading the pack. As a support character, Tsuruko excels not only in buffing your team but also in dealing damage. Her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, applies the Turning Tides buff to the entire party while simultaneously attacking enemies. Her fluid movement allows her to effectively serve as a damage dealer, making her an invaluable asset.
Miu Jujo, another S-tier character, is an Attacker with potent abilities. Her unique skill involves placing Luminous Crystals on the battlefield, which deal damage over time (DoT) to enemies within their radius. Coupled with her high speed and powerful Ultimate, Miu can effortlessly dodge enemy attacks, making her a top-tier damage dealer.
Q, a Tank unit, boasts a high Break Ability and strong attack skills. His ability to accumulate Fighting Will stacks, which he can unleash to enhance his damage, makes him an excellent partner for Tsuruko Semba and any Attacker unit.
Despite being a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi is a remarkable healer. Accompanied by a versatile drone that switches between healing and aggressive modes, Minami adds extra damage while healing, making her a hybrid DPS. Her ranged attacks are particularly beneficial for new players looking to avoid enemy strikes.
Enoki Yukigaya, another exceptional Attacker, utilizes Heat stacks gained from combos and counterattacks. Once enough Heat is accumulated, she can unleash a devastating special skill, making her a formidable force on the battlefield.

A-Tier
Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, combines strong attack skills with sustain abilities. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a resilient choice during enemy focus.
Jio Takinogawa serves as a reliable Tank, capable of taunting enemies and reducing incoming damage. Although his damage output is limited, he's an excellent choice for beginners seeking a solid defensive option.
Yo Kuronaka, the protagonist, offers a high Break Ability, but his somewhat awkward moveset and lower damage output compared to S-tier units place him in the A-tier. Still, he's a viable option for those willing to invest in his development.
B-Tier
Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier. Roku, a Fighter unit, delivers medium damage but lacks standout abilities. Koishi, a free Healer provided at the game's start, is a decent support for early players, though it's advisable to upgrade to a stronger Healer when possible.
C-Tier
Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju are C-tier characters. While they may serve well in the early and mid-game, their lack of standout abilities can hinder progress in the endgame. Tsuki Iroha is a free unit, but investing in Koishi Kohinata is recommended. Yutaka Gotanda is a passable Tank, and Hyakuichitaro Senju offers average damage dealing.
