Before we dive in, here’s a quick look at what every tier brings to the table:

Tier	Description
S	If you possess these operators, then you are already beast in the game.
A	You should always look to snag these operators, as they are very handy in defending the towers. Despite being A-tier operators, they can still match the firepower of S-tier operators.
B	It’s good if you have them, as they can definitely give you an edge over your enemies, but it might mean more grinding for you.
C	These operators are pretty decent when you’re just starting the game. As you progress, though, they’ll become less useful.
D	They’re basically the ‘avoid at all costs’ operators in the game.
