Arknights Tier List: All Characters Ranked [September 2023]

Arknights features more than 150 characters called operators. Each operator is unique and offers a different set of skills and talents. Since the number of operators is high, it can be somewhat difficult to decide which ones are worth picking. Therefore, we are going to write an Arknights tier list in which we are going to rank all the operators available in the game.

Before we kick off our tier list, make sure to check out the character comparison table below:

Our tier list is based on personal choice. Therefore, you will find some operators not belonging to a specific tier.

However, keep in mind that the robot has an extensive Redeployment Time. 

Durin

During also has a skill that lets him dodge attacks 50% times. However, instead of Physical attacks, it lets him doge Arts attacks. 

THRM-EX

Just like Castle-3, THRM-EX also has no skills in his arsenal. 

Yato

Yato only relies on her talents and has no skills to offer. 

Lancet-2

Lancet-2 has one of the most useful skills in Arknights. By using Support Spray, she can heal and restore the HP of all friendly units that are nearby. 

Adnachiel

Adnachiel can give a boost to his DPS through a skill called ATK Up. 

Rangers

The final operator we would like to mention on our Arknights tier list is Ranger. However, he has no skills to offer.

This was all regarding our Arknights tier list. We hope that it will assist you with picking up the right operators. Before you leave, make sure to check out our Heroes of the Storm tier list and For Honor tier list as well.
