Taimanin Squad launched globally in March 2026 with a large roster of characters spread across Power, Technique, Agility, and Balanced types, each filling Offense, Defense, or Support roles. Knowing which characters are worth investing in early can save you significant resources and set your account up for long-term success. This tier list ranks characters based on their base combat stats at launch and is intended to guide resource allocation rather than serve as a strict ranking of all content. Characters in S tier are the strongest investment priorities, A tier characters are excellent additions to any squad, and B tier characters are solid performers worth developing when S and A options are unavailable.

S Tier

S tier characters have the highest base combat power in the game and deliver elite performance in their respective roles. These units are the most impactful investments you can make and should be the first priority for leveling materials, Grade Upgrades, and Skill resources.

Igawa Sakura

Igawa Sakura is an Agility type Offense character and one of the standout damage dealers in Taimanin Squad. She carries one of the highest base attack values in the entire roster, making her a reliable source of heavy damage output in almost any squad. Her Agility typing gives her an advantage against Power type enemies, which are common throughout the game, and her solid HP ensures she is not a liability under pressure. Sakura is available through the standard Recruit system, making her accessible without premium spending.

Kichi Azusa

Kichi Azusa holds the highest overall combat power rating among all characters currently available in Taimanin Squad. She is a Power type Offense character with strong base attack and notable speed, allowing her to act frequently and deal sustained damage throughout a fight. Her availability through the Cash Store means she requires a direct purchase, but the investment reflects her position at the very top of the roster. For players who do spend, Azusa is among the most impactful characters you can add to a squad.

Fuuma Saika

Fuuma Saika is a Technique type Offense character with exceptional attack power paired with solid HP, giving her both hitting power and survivability relative to other high-ATK units. She is effective against Agility type enemies, and her combination of offense and bulk makes her one of the more complete damage dealers in the game. Saika is obtainable through the standard Recruit system, making her one of the more accessible S tier options for players building their roster through regular pulls.

Koukawa Asuka

Koukawa Asuka is an Agility type Offense character who stands out for her exceptional combination of high HP and strong attack, making her one of the most durable damage dealers in the S tier group. She ties for the highest HP among top-tier Offense characters, which means she can absorb more punishment than most of her peers while still contributing meaningful damage. Her high speed also allows her to act early in the turn order consistently. Asuka is available through the Recruit system.

Oboro

Oboro is a Power type Offense character obtained through the Assemble system, making her more difficult to acquire than standard Recruit characters. That difficulty is justified by her performance. She brings well-rounded stats with strong attack and solid defense for an Offense unit, and her Power typing counters the Technique type enemies that appear throughout the main campaign. If you have the means to unlock Oboro through Assemble, she is a significant long-term asset.

A Tier

A tier characters are strong, reliable picks that perform well across most content types. They fall just short of S tier in raw stat ceilings but bring meaningful contributions to any squad and are worth developing fully if S tier options are unavailable or not yet obtained.

Shinganji Kurenai

Shinganji Kurenai is an Agility type Offense character who distinguishes herself from other Agility damage dealers through notably high DEF for her role, making her more durable in extended fights than most Offense units. Her overall combat power rating sits comfortably in the upper range of the roster, and her attack output is strong enough to consistently threaten Power type enemies. Kurenai is available through the Recruit system and is a practical choice for players looking to strengthen their Agility coverage.

Rakshasa

Rakshasa is a Technique type Offense character with the single highest base attack stat in the entire game, which makes her an extraordinary burst damage option in the right composition. The trade-off is that her HP is significantly lower than most high-tier characters, leaving her vulnerable to being eliminated quickly if not protected. She rewards teams that can shield her or dispatch enemies before she takes sustained hits. Rakshasa is available through the Recruit system and is a high-risk, high-reward addition to any squad.

Akiyama Rinko

Akiyama Rinko is an Agility type Offense character with balanced and competitive stats across the board. She brings strong attack values alongside reliable HP and speed, making her a consistent performer who does not have a notable weak point. Her Agility typing ensures she has a defined role against Power type enemies, and her well-rounded stat distribution means she holds up across multiple content types without requiring specific team compositions to function. Rinko is obtainable through the Recruit system.

Igawa Asagi

Igawa Asagi is a Power type Offense character and one of the franchise’s most iconic figures. What sets her apart from other Power Offense units is her exceptionally high HP combined with the fastest base speed stat among S and A tier characters, meaning she consistently acts before most of the field. Her speed advantage makes her particularly effective at front-loading damage before enemies can respond. Asagi is an Assemble character, so acquiring her requires more effort than standard Recruit pulls, but her combination of durability and speed justifies that investment.

Fuuma Tokiko

Fuuma Tokiko is the strongest Support character currently available in Taimanin Squad, defined by having the highest HP of any unit in the game. This extraordinary HP pool makes her exceptionally difficult to eliminate, which is critical for a Support role where surviving long enough to continuously provide utility to the team is the core function. She is an Agility type, giving her a structural advantage against Power type enemies even while playing a non-offensive role. Tokiko is available through the Recruit system and should be a priority for any player who values team sustainability.

B Tier

B tier characters are solid and functional picks that serve specific roles well. They are best used to fill gaps in your roster when higher tier options are unavailable, or as reliable core units during the early and mid game before stronger alternatives are obtained.

Felicia

Felicia is a Technique type Offense character with attack and overall combat power that puts her close to A tier. Her base attack is on par with some S tier characters, and she is available through the standard Recruit system, making her accessible early. The reason she sits in B tier rather than A is that her HP is lower than comparable high-attack units, which limits her staying power in longer fights. In compositions that protect her adequately, Felicia delivers very strong damage output against Agility type enemies.

Edwin Black

Edwin Black is a Balanced type Offense character, which means he has no type advantage or disadvantage against any enemy in the game. This neutral positioning makes him uniquely versatile as a damage dealer who does not need to be swapped out based on enemy composition. He brings strong HP and solid attack, and his Balanced typing also contributes positively to Team Formation Effects when combined with other Balanced characters. Edwin is an Assemble character, so he requires targeted effort to obtain but rewards that effort with reliable offensive output in any situation.

Su Jinglei

Su Jinglei is the premier tank in the current roster, offering the highest HP among all Defense type characters alongside strong DEF stats. As a Balanced type, she does not benefit from type advantages but also never suffers from type disadvantages, making her a universally deployable frontline option against any enemy composition. Her role is to absorb damage, hold the front line, and allow your Offense characters to operate from safety. Su Jinglei is an Assemble character and is the strongest dedicated defensive investment available at launch.

Mizuki Yukikaze

Mizuki Yukikaze is a Power type Offense character notable for having significantly higher HP than most other damage dealers at her combat power tier. This combination of offense and bulk means she can survive moderate amounts of punishment while continuing to deal damage, making her a good choice for stages where your DPS units would normally need to be kept in the back. She is effective against Technique type enemies and is available through the standard Recruit system, which makes her one of the more accessible high-HP offensive options in the game.

Mizuki Shiranui

Mizuki Shiranui is an Agility type Support character with very high HP, placing her as the second most durable Support unit behind Fuuma Tokiko. Her role is to provide sustained utility to the team while being difficult to remove from the field, and her HP pool ensures she fulfills that function reliably across extended battles. She also brings balanced ATK and DEF values that give her more flexibility than most pure support units. Shiranui is available through the Recruit system and makes a strong secondary support option when Fuuma Tokiko is not yet available.

Building a strong squad in Taimanin Squad comes down to pairing high-impact Offense characters with at least one durable Support or Defense unit and ensuring your lineup activates a Team Formation Effect. S tier characters represent the best long-term investments across every role, but A and B tier picks are fully capable of carrying you through the main campaign and daily content when developed properly.
