How These Rankings Work
S Best
Specs that currently define the meta. These represent the absolute best in each category with the highest win rates and strongest overall performance.
A+ Great
Exceptional specs that are just below the meta-defining level. These specs consistently perform extremely well and have very few weaknesses.
A Good
Strong specs that are highly competitive. While not the absolute best, they perform well in most situations with only occasional unfavorable matchups.
B Mid
Mid-tier specs with balanced performance. They have an even distribution of good and bad matchups, which can make them feel less consistent overall.
C Weak
Generally weak into the current meta. These specs are expected to face unfavorable matchups the majority of the time and require significantly more skill to succeed.
Important Notes
- This list is an ongoing project and will be updated periodically throughout the season.
- Rankings reflect performance across all rating brackets, with emphasis on consistency and win rates.
- Individual skill and experience can significantly impact performance at any tier level.
