To thrive and ultimately triumph in Zero's death game within *Tribe Nine*, assembling a team of formidable allies is crucial. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the top characters you should aim to recruit, presented in a tier list format to help you strategize your gameplay effectively.

Best Characters in Tribe Nine

S-Tier

In *Tribe Nine*, five characters stand out as S-tier, with Tsuruko Semba being the pinnacle of excellence. As a versatile support character, Tsuruko can both inflict damage and enhance her team's capabilities with her ultimate skill, Invigorating Surge, which applies the Turning Tides buff to the entire party while attacking foes. Her fluid movement also makes her an effective damage dealer.

Miu Jujo, another S-tier standout, excels as an Attacker with potent abilities. Her Luminous Crystals deal damage over time to enemies within their area, complemented by her high speed, which allows her to evade enemy attacks effortlessly, making her an ideal choice for dealing damage.

Q, a Tank unit, boasts a high Break Ability and strong attack skills. His ability to accumulate Fighting Will stacks, which he can unleash for a damage boost, makes him an excellent partner for Tsuruko Semba and Attacker units.

Even as a 2-Star unit, Minami Oi shines as a healer. Accompanied by a versatile drone that switches between healing and aggressive modes, she adds to the team's damage output, making her a valuable hybrid DPS. Her ranged attacks also help new players dodge enemy assaults more easily.

Lastly, Enoki Yukigaya is an outstanding Attacker whose Heat stacks, gained through combos and counterattacks, allow her to unleash devastating special skills on enemies.

A-Tier

Eiji Todoroki, an A-tier Attacker, offers strong attack skills and sustainability. His Brilliant Me! skill reduces damage taken by 25% when My Turn to Shine! is active, making him a durable choice against enemy aggression.

For tanking, Jio Takinogawa is a reliable option. He can taunt enemies and reduce incoming damage, though his damage output is somewhat limited, positioning him slightly lower in the tier list. Still, he's a solid choice, particularly for beginners.

Yo Kuronaka, the protagonist, holds his own with a high Break Ability. However, his clunky moveset and less potent damage compared to S-tier units make him a secondary choice, though still worth building.

B-Tier

Roku Saigo and Koishi Kohinata fall into the B-tier. Roku, a Fighter, offers medium damage but lacks standout features. Koishi, a free Healer you get at the start, is a decent support for early-game players, though upgrading to a stronger healer is advisable once available.

C-Tier

Yutaka Gotanda, Tsuki Iroha, and Hyakuichitaro Senju reside in the C-tier. While not useless, they lack exceptional abilities and might hinder progress in the endgame. Tsuki Iroha comes free, but investing in Koishi Kohinata is more beneficial. Yutaka serves as a passable Tank, and Hyakuichitaro as an average damage dealer.
