Why each character got their tier

The reasoning behind every placement: the feats, wins and losses that decided it, and the rankings and databooks it was checked against. "Disputed" means fans and sources split on it, so we picked a side and say why. "VSB" is the VS Battles wiki's power tier, and "#3 Looper" means third in that site's ranking. More on how we rank characters.

S tier

Marcille Donato S
Best student at the magic school and a hybrid of both magic systems. Took the Lion's deal, became Lord of the Dungeon, merged all the floors into one and led a monster army against the Canaries and the adventurers. Killed Mithrun, who had never died in a dungeon before. Laios stopped her with a meal, not a fight. CBR says she is largely considered stronger than Mithrun.
Laios Thorden S · disputed
Rated as the Ultimate Strongest Monster and dungeon lord: dragons bowed to him, magic can't hurt that form, and he ate the Winged Lion's appetite itself, which ended the demon, then became king. Nobody else in the story beat it. Human, he also killed the Red Dragon with his party, giving up a leg. Disputed: CBR puts him #6 on his human skills alone, while the wiki's chapter pages and Yen Press's l
Thistle S
The Lunatic Magician who created the dungeon, cursed a whole country with immortality, and held the Lord's power for over a thousand years when most lords last a few. He alone sealed his demon in books so it couldn't eat his desires. Summoned and commanded dragons, built chimera Falin, and put Laios's party out of action. The Lion, not any person, ended him. On floor one he got away from Mithrun o

A tier

Falin Thorden A · disputed
Rated as the 11-metre dragon chimera: a dragon's strength plus spellcasting. Tore through Kabru's and Shuro's parties at once, crushing Maizuru and killing Holm's undine, then left with nobody able to stop her (CBR calls it no clear winner). Below S because she follows Thistle's orders and thin mana leaves her struggling to move. Disputed: Mithrun nearly killed her on floor one, but only with that
Mithrun A · disputed
Canary captain and former dungeon lord. His swap teleport cuts through almost anything, moved a giant mushroom between floors, and nearly killed chimera Falin; he never died in a dungeon until Marcille. A, not S, because she beat him and his own lordship ended with a demon eating his desires. Disputed: CBR ranks him #9, below Shuro and Kabru, though on page Kabru only stopped him with a grab.

B tier

Senshi B · disputed
Lived ten years in the dungeon by cooking monsters, skilled with an axe, and his knife blinded one of the Red Dragon's eyes. Disputed: CBR puts him #14, below Tade, because cooking comes first for him; the ten years and the dragon hit keep him in B here. Impact on the story is far higher than his rank.
Izutsumi B
Fast acrobatic fighter with claws, trained among Shuro's retainers, who claims a golem kill alone (CBR credits her and Chilchuck on an ice golem). CBR #11. Took Marcille hostage once by surprise. Speed is her whole game.
Kabru B
Single-handedly wiped out a whole corpse-retriever gang, and strikes human vital spots with ease. CBR #8. Weak against monsters: he froze against a sea serpent and lost to chimera Falin. His real impact is political: he talks Mithrun out of giving up and helps run the new kingdom.
Namari B
Original front-liner of the Touden party, known to have fought and killed several dragons, and able to pick up weapons she has never used. CBR #12, who credits her with saving a party in an undine fight.
Toshiro Nakamoto B
Shuro. Cut off a sea serpent's head in one stroke while malnourished, and CBR calls him the series' top swordsman (#7). Lost the brawl with human Laios, worn down by a descent with almost no food or rest, and his party suffered badly against chimera Falin. Nothing against the top tiers.
Rinsha B
Rin. Her lightning stunned chimera Falin for a moment, and Kabru says she could kill his whole party alone. CBR #10. Can read traces of magic left by others.
Cithis B
Mithrun's second in command. Her hypnosis kept an earlier Canary captain under her control, and a single spoken suggestion took away Marcille's legs for a moment. Strongest against non-mages. Her first dungeon death came from an undine's shot.
Lycion B
Canary who rebuilt himself into a werewolf with ancient magic, and a veteran of illegal arena fights. Rated on that form and on his place in the elite squad. Low confidence: the wiki describes the form better than it records his wins.
Maizuru B
Retainer whose paper magic does nearly everything: a beast that caught Laios, a hag curse, teleport doors painted on scrolls, plus healing and resurrection. She helped raise both parties after Falin's attack. Falin crushed her, so she is no match for the top.

C tier

Chilchuck Tims C
Trap and lock expert whose hearing and maps kept the party alive for floors on end. He counts himself out of fights, and CBR puts him last at #15. C because he reached the deepest floors with bow and knives. Impact is well above his rank.
Inutade C · disputed
Tade, the young ogre of Shuro's retainers. Great raw strength and durability, and part of the sea serpent kill, but mostly brute force. Disputed: CBR puts her #13, above Senshi; she has no solo feat to match his, and CBR itself says she is often outclassed.
Fleki C
Canary summoner of bird familiars for scouting and attack. Mainly the squad's eyes; she helped find Mithrun and Kabru. Elite by unit, but no notable win of her own.
Kuro C
Kobold of Kabru's party who fights with a shortsword and his bite, and tracks people and even races by smell. Useful scout, no standout fight.
Pattadol C
Noble Canary assistant. Raises barriers, heals, and pulled off a hard resurrection of Mithrun after a hole through his head. Panics easily and is support, not a fighter.
Leed C
Orc commander who stayed on the fifth floor with a small squad when the Red Dragon arrived, and was ready to kill Laios's party. C as a real commander; no fight is recorded in the sources read.
Benichidori C
Ninja retainer who took down harpies with the others and caught Chilchuck in the ambush. The wiki says her specific combat skills have not been shown. Low confidence.
Diamond of Sadena C
Daya, the dwarf axe fighter of Kabru's party, whose style he calls overpowering. Chimera Falin nearly choked her out until Holm's undine stepped in. A solid fighter with no bigger feat.
Zon C
Orc chieftain who moved his people clear of the Red Dragon, and whose orcs joined the final fight. Rated as a leader; the sources read record no personal fight, so stats are low confidence.
Holm Kranom C
Gnome cleric of Kabru's party. His undine hurt chimera Falin before she killed it, and he can resurrect the dead. Freezes under pressure and did little after that loss.
Hien C
Ninja retainer trained from childhood. Threw the explosive into the sea serpent's mouth and took Marcille at knifepoint in an ambush. She apologised to Shuro for not being strong enough after Falin's attack.
Otta C
Canary in Mithrun's squad. With spirits she shapes earth and stone into platforms and walls inside the dungeon. Useful support with no recorded win of her own, so she sits with Fleki and Pattadol.
Tansu Floke C
Mr. Tansu, gnome scholar and the Lord's dungeon advisor. Uses teleport, healing and resurrection, and raised both Namari and Kiki in a single expedition. Level with Holm and Pattadol as a support caster. Lacks battle sense, and others do his fighting.

D tier

Kensuke D
A small living-armor mollusk in Laios's sword hilt. A coward that jumped away at the Red Dragon's finishing blow. Impact beats its power: it senses monsters, unlocked the door to the depths, and acts as an agent of the Winged Lion.
Fionil D
Novice half-elf mage who needed Laios's party to save her partner from a basilisk. No combat feats. Her story role is as a former informant for the western elves.
Kiki Floke D · disputed
Crossbow fighter of the Tansu party and twin sister of Kaka. D for missing evidence, not proven weakness: the wiki records no fight of hers. Disputed: her place in the Tansu party could justify C.
Mickbell Tomas D
Half-foot thief and con artist who runs from danger. His first dungeon death came from touching his own poison darts. Useful with locks, but his locked box got the party knocked out by treasure bugs.
Doni D
Novice tall-man adventurer. A basilisk poisoned him and Laios's party saved him, then man-eating plants beat his party three days later. Shows a true beginner's level. Ends up farming, the life he left.
Yaad D
Non-fighter, D on power. Lord of the Golden Country and Delgal's grandson. Impact is large: he tells the party Thistle's history and the winged blade prophecy, and later guides them out of the falling dungeon. His soul ends up in a doll while his body sits at Thistle's table.
Yarn Floke D
Mrs. Tansu, gnome scholar, travels with her husband's party and raised Kaka and Kiki with him. D for missing evidence: AniList quotes the World Guide calling her a mage, but no spell or fight of hers is recorded. Low confidence.
Kaka Floke D · disputed
Plate-armored twin brother of Kiki in the Tansu party, raised by the Tansus. D for missing evidence, not proven weakness: the wiki records no fight of his. Disputed: his place in the party could justify C, the same case as Kiki. Dur 3 is the armor.
Delgal D
Non-fighter, D on power, but the reason the plot exists: his climb to the surface and promise of his kingdom opens the dungeon rush. His pressure on Thistle over magic and his sick son helped cause the curse.
Freinag D
Non-fighter, flashback only. Old king of the Golden Country who took in the child Thistle as a jester and treated him like a son. His poisoning at Delgal's wedding left the kingdom under threat.
Lord of the Island D
The Lord of the Island, a rich upstart with no combat role who leaves dungeon matters to Mr. Tansu. Impact is political: he nearly signed the dungeon over to the Canaries before Kabru stepped in, then fell apart when the dungeon broke the island.
