I think you could include a tier for characters that are mainly used for their links if the lower tiers get clogged up. This could be good for newer players as well
I think it worth adding some marking like GQ, meaning that character really shines in GQ. It should not mean that character is unusable outside of GQ. It just means that this is a GQ character, same goes for Brave Battle. I think this will help a lot new and amateur players
kirio should be moved a bit lower, her having an 18 mag sa1 with a long cooldown sa2 that also doesnt even do dmg in her gq makes her lose value as both a pve character and as gq support (shes replacable), same with parasol gin but he was never gq support to begin with
10:41, that's rough. Also, I think I value Toshiro more due to the status immunity and design. But honestly all three are fire. SAFWY Gin being demoted doesn't feel right, guy zooms around the map just ripping apart enemies with his SA2. I get Speed Gin being just being S but he is a cool unit and sometimes you need to switch it up or this game gets repetitive.
I believe you're confusing the new 2024 Yhwach with the one that came out in like 2018. The new Yhwach, that is currently available in a summons, is ranked SS tier in the more updated tier lists (This list was made before he came out).
I would put Rukia for number 2, only cause while her SA2 isn’t doing any damage in GQ, she still has all the skills to make her other SAs destroy waves of enemies
This was definately worth the wait! The new design looks great, but have you considered adding a border to the pictures? The previous ones had them and it was very easy to distinguish individual characters. Not that it matters too much, I got used to it pretty quicky and it looks slick that way. Also it would be handy to add an ATK/SP icon to each character to explicitly show NAD/SP characters. Both of those is just something to consider (the borders might make it ugly ngl), don't really want you to waste an another million years just to change minor visual things lol. Generally agree with the list. Kirio should definately not be the best of S tier, SA2 not doing damage and SA1 having a 18% is big enough to knock her doing imo, especially considering she is kinda meant for guild quest. Still good enough for S tho. But more importantly, how much did you consider characters as a link when making the tierlist? Because being used as a link still count toward usability of the character. I'd even argue being a good link is better than being something like an A tier character as for the value the character brings to the account, like I'm more likely to use a, for example, speed SenkAizen as a huge damage increase link than a speed Azashiro for anything. Imo the D teir should have the character are utterly useless unless they are the only charaters you have, but having someone like technique Stark in D tier while he has +12 SAR and +16 SAD link is kinda wrong imo, sure his stats are pretty bad but that is a link I would rather use than a single link with better stats. Same with SAR + recovery/ailment resistance links, you would probably use them as links (in GQ or IT for example) more than many character as units. With this idea the +5 pot soul trait units should be A or even S at a minimum imo, same with the fact that every +10 should be at least S, every godlike superpots farmer should be at least SS, but we agree on that already. They allow you to get a +10 or even +15 pots unit which is extremely valuable when you are farming. More importantly, they allow you to use any unit you want in ER/IZ as you can get your favourite character, slap a pot link and boom now you have a link slot farmer. That's insane value imo. Also some arguably simillar in strenth pot link characters sit in different tiers while basically being mid to use anyway (Ebern excluded, he is S even without the pot link). I guess that ramble about links is kinda pointless as this is mostly a pve unit list, not how much value a character bring to your account list, but still something to consider I think, especially the pot links
Heart Put Findorr in bottom A. H is definitely better than the hidden Starkk but he isn't better than CFYOW canon Grimmjow. I think Heart Toshiro (kido) should be a little lower, maybe mid B tier. Power 0 complaints Mind Move Abirama up above CFYOW Kenny and move FB Byakuya to bottom of S abov3 New Year Renji. TT Shuhei and 4th anni Ichigo should be moved up to A in my opinion. Speed HW Lillinette should be A tier. Other than that, it's perfect. Tech Askin should be A tier, the debuff + buff combo goes hard for human/zero squad week. Over all great list!
Artworks Ichigo and Tybw tech Uryu too low, both S tier imo, they hold up well despite some drawbacks, and many power characters in A tier are too low and should move up. besides that the lists are pretty good
Link slots yumichika is definitely mid, I really hate his SA1 with the trash range, his garbage sa2 who also has very limited range, his sa3 is normal just like every other, his soul bomb is fair aswell, overall a trash character unless you have no other farmers
Did you forgot to mention and maybe upgrade Academy Shuhei on the list? Or i just forgot? he got much better since new GQ, he boosts 7th Ichigo so good for example and maybe even White (i dont have him)
For the most part I agree with every list but maybe beyond bankai Kisuke should be bumped up to S. He's not the best character by any means but he has basically the same kit as 7th anni Ichigo (both of their SA1s suck) so if you have more investment into him he might be the same/better for the ranged soul reaper week
Thing is, Byakuya and Gin wokld be fighting eat other over status ailment because both deal additional damage when to Weakened and Poisoned enemies respectively. But Byakuya's Weaken is also nerfed in Very Hard GQ. He's mid S tier imo. Though Marauder does give him more potential, but Technique is loaded with Marauder and Sharpshooter units that I think he loses out to the competition when Ex Co-op.
Aizen should be in S. Noel should be in SS. She's just a straight up a better version. Bombardment + Weaken Defense and Frenzy +1 with SP Boost is stronger than Frenzy +2. Especially for VHGQ. Literally the only way I can see aizen being better is his SA1 but that's it. I'm not arguing for Aizen has two killers because you literally have Quilgue with one killer on the list. So overall Noel easily beats Aizen. Also thanks for mentioning Gin and Byakuya combo for GQ I think they both work well if you have them but I understand both are limited characters. Again, I'd be arguing Gin's place for SS just because he's still got the best kit in the game amd still the best farmer for IT but I'll keep my bias aside for now.
I would argue that Balgo also deserves to be SS tier, he might have less dmg than ikkaku but he clears safer and is also one of the best leads in 2 different weeks of GQ, he compensates being a slower farmer with being a safer one and also very usable in the most important mode of the game, imo you undervalue safety of farmers cause aside from 8th ani Ichigo you farm by actually playing while most people do it autoing so being safer is more important for a higher amount of players
