All the operators under their specific ranks are shown below.

 

S Rank Operators in the Arknights Tier List 

For anyone, if you are an Arknights beginner or a veteran player who is looking for high damage in the battles with the best attacks, defends, area control and better stats, you have to team up with these operators. They are known to be the exceptional power holders for a team.

Eyjafjalla 

• Role: AoE Caster (High-damage area-of-effect caster)
• Strength: Exceptional AoE damage with her Skill 2 (Ignition) and Skill 3 (Volcano), which can wipe out waves of enemies. High arts damage output and versatility.
• Weakness: Fragile health and long skill cooldowns can leave her vulnerable if not perfectly supported.
• Best Strategies: Pair with defenders to protect her while she charges skills. Use Skill 3 for high-threat waves or bosses, and position her to maximize her range overlap on clustered enemies.

Ceobe 

• Role: Single-target Caster (Specialized in high DPS against single enemies)
• Strength: Massive single-target arts damage, especially against high-defense enemies with Skill 2 (Overloaded Hammer). Scales well with enemy stats.
• Weakness: Struggles against groups of enemies due to single-target focus; relatively high SP cost.
• Best Strategies: Deploy against elite enemies or bosses. Buff her attack with operators like Sora or Warfarin to amplify her damage output.

Ifrit 

• Role: AoE Caster (Linear AoE specialist with debuff utility)
• Strength: Deals massive arts damage in a straight line with Skill 2 (Scorching Ground) or Skill 3 (Overheating Plasma). Applies burn damage and reduces enemy resistance.
• Weakness: Limited by her unique linear range; ineffective if enemies don’t align with her tiles.
• Best Strategies: Position on maps with straight lanes to maximize her coverage. Pair with crowd-control operators to keep enemies in her range.

Goldenglow 

• Role: Single-target/AoE Hybrid Caster (Drone-based flexible damage dealer)
• Strength: High single-target damage with Skill 2 (Surging Current) that scales with enemy movement, and Skill 3 (Overflowing Light) offers global-range AoE bursts.

• Best Strategies: Use Skill 3 for scattered enemies or bosses, and place her in a safe spot with healing support to maintain uptime.

Mostima 

• Role: AoE Caster (Crowd-control specialist)
• Strength: Wide AoE damage with Skill 3 (Key of Chronology), which also stuns enemies and slows their movement. Excellent utility for stalling.
• Weakness: Lower raw damage compared to other S-tier casters; long cooldowns reduce her consistency.

A Rank Characters in the Arknights Tier List 

If you didn’t manage to earn an S-ranked character by rerolling, don’t worry unless you have an A-ranked. A ranked operators are also basically the same as the S rank and they are slightly different from those overpowered skills. Yes, they have high damage output, skills, attacks and defense only second to the S rank. These are also reliable operators for your battles.

Beeswax 

 

• Role: Phalanx Caster (Defensive ranged tank with AoE damage)
• Strength: Summons an obelisk that deals AoE arts damage and has a high uptime. Strong survivability when not attacking.

Dusk 

• Role: AoE Caster (Summoner hybrid with sustained damage)
• Strength: Skill 3 (Hustle and Bustle) summons ink spirits that deal AoE arts damage and block enemies. High damage potential over time.
• Weakness: High SP costs and reliance on summons can make her inconsistent.
• Best Strategies: Deploy on maps with choke points to maximize summon blocking and damage. Support with healers to keep her alive.

Amiya 

 

• Role: Single-target Caster (Story-essential operator with burst potential)
• Strength: Skill 2 (Spirit Burst) delivers massive arts damage to a single target. Accessible and easy to upgrade.
• Weakness: Mediocre base stats and lack of AoE limit her versatility.
• Best Strategies: Use her for early-game boss-killing with Skill 2. Transition to stronger casters later, but keep her for story progression.

Carnelian 

• Role: Phalanx Caster (Defensive AoE caster with bind utility)
• Strength: High arts damage with Skill 3 (Bloodblade Flurry), which also binds enemies. Tanky when not attacking.
• Weakness: Weaker as a ranged tank compared to Beeswax; skill activation drops her defenses.
• Best Strategies: Use her to bind key enemies and deal AoE damage. Position defensively and pair with healers.

Kjera

• Strength: Skill 2 (Frozen Ground) deals arts damage and slows enemies, offering solid utility.

Passenger

• Best Strategies: Position to hit multiple enemies in her range. Use slow effect to stall while others deal primary damage.
