FAQ
How are Combat tiers calculated?
Combat tiers use a data-backed composite score with 50% Attack, 25% HP and 25% Defense. You can switch to Attack, HP or Defense views to see specialists in each stat.
Is this a DPS tier list?
No. It is a base-stat combat tier list. It does not claim to measure exact DPS, skill cycles or endgame builds.
Why is a strong Combat Pal only A tier overall?
Overall Utility rewards Pals that stay useful across combat, base work and breeding. A specialist may be S tier in Combat while ranking lower overall if its base or breeding value is narrow.
What is the difference between Tier List and Best Pals rankings?
The Tier List gives a fast S–D overview with ranking reasons for each mode. Best Pals pages show exact numeric rankings, filters and detailed leaderboards for every stat or work type.
