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

Rudeus Greyrat S · disputed
7th of the Seven Great Powers after beating Kalman III. Orsted, Kishirika, Badigadi and Perugius all put his mana above Laplace's. Atofe called his Magic Armor Mk I god level, and it forced her to surrender. He also scratched Orsted. Disputed: fan lists place him 6th to 8th, the wiki's god-level magic claim has no citation, and Jino holds a higher seat. Seats follow succession, so results decide t
Orsted S
2nd of the Seven Great Powers, but the strongest being in the human world, past the Fighting God, Technique God and Demon God. Beat Rudeus, the Water God and Kalman III in the Fighting God Armor with ease. Slow mana recovery is his only limit. Cha 2 is his curse, which makes nearly every living thing fear or distrust him.
Badigadi S
Peak is in the Fighting God Armor, the pairing that fills 3rd place in the Seven Great Powers. As Fighting God he overpowered Rudeus and his allies together before falling. Unarmored, he lost half his body to one of Rudeus's shots and recovered through immortality, which is why this rank depends on the armor. Skl 3 because the armor does the fighting.
Hitogami S · disputed
The final enemy, a god outside the Seven Great Powers. Sees close to 100 years ahead, rules through apostles, and helped destroy the Dragon World. Only Orsted at full strength is said to be able to kill him. Disputed: fan lists put him 3rd or 4th. Low str and spd are because he can't appear in person in the human world, so he's rated on reach, not fists.

A tier

Eris Boreas Greyrat A · disputed
Sword King with offence compared to a Sword Emperor, the only student given a mastery title neither Emperor held. Founded her own sword style. Beat Gal with Ruijerd's help and beat Nuckelgard of the Three Swords of the North God. Disputed: fan lists place her from 8th to 15th.
Ruijerd Superdia A
Stated equal to a North Emperor and stronger than Sword King Ghislaine. Blocked Gal's fastest silent sword, fought Kalman I and Urupen in the Laplace War and survived, and helped land the decisive hit on Laplace. Orsted still beat him.
Atoferatofe Raibaku A
Immortal Demon Lord, described as level with the lower Seven Great Powers and with a North God. Stopped Eris's sword bare-handed and hurt the Ogre God. Only two people have ever beaten her alone, Kalman I and Rudeus.
Perugius Dola A
God rank in Summoning and Barrier magic, and a hero who helped seal Laplace. Can't defeat a Seven Great Power alone, but his fortress and eleven spirits raise his strength greatly, and he cut down Atofe with magic.
Isolte Cruel A
Peak is Water God, the successor of Reida. As Water Emperor she deflected and countered the Fighting God for an extended time, though Rudeus judged she couldn't have won. Nina beat her in youth, but this later power-up puts her above Nina. One independent source only: nothing outside the wiki could be read.
Gal Farion A
Sword God and 6th of the Seven Great Powers for years. Beat the Water God to take the sword school. Lost the title to Jino, then lost to Eris and Ruijerd together after that defeat shook him, so he stays in A rather than S.
Auber Corvette A
North Emperor and one of the Three Swords of the North God. Deflected Eris's Longsword of Light, sliced through Rudeus's stone shots and survived a full-power one. It took Eris, Ghislaine and Rudeus together to kill him.
Reida Reia A
Water God, and comparable to the lower Seven Great Powers. Mastered three of the five secret arts and made a sixth of her own. Cut two of Perugius's servants in half and pinned a room holding Rudeus, Eris, Ghislaine and Perugius. Orsted killed her, and Gal beat her earlier.
Jino Britts A
Beat Gal to become Sword God, the youngest ever, and took 6th in the Seven Great Powers. Never left his school to prove himself, so the world calls him the weakest Sword God, yet the wiki says he might have beaten the Water God or Death God. Not S because he has no result above Gal.

B tier

Roxy Migurdia B
Water King, helped by a staff that nearly doubles her water magic. Rudeus's first teacher. Her limit is mana, as she failed a Saint spell at the academy until that staff was made.
Sylphiette B
Listed at King rank in Water, with a large mana pool from the Laplace Factor. Aside from Orsted she's the only known healer who casts without incantation. Her page's rank list is marked under revision.
Ghislaine Dedoldia B
Sword King, once called the fourth strongest in her school, and an S-rank adventurer. Matched Almanfi and overwhelmed Wii Taa in two duels. Gal says she'd have reached Emperor with her old hunger, but she never did, and Ruijerd is stated stronger, so she tops B.
Paul Greyrat B
Advanced in all three sword schools, which together count as Saint level. Fought a Manatite Hydra head on, moving as a blur to a Foresight Demon Eye, and died saving his son.
Zanoba Shirone B
A Miko of superhuman strength, said to stand against a demon king in raw power, and any hit from him can kill through Battle Aura. Has poor stamina and little technique, which explains spd 1 and skl 2. He's rated on strength alone.
Kishirika Kishirisu B
Demon Emperor with twelve Demon Eyes, able to grant them to others and to return after death, which made her dangerous in wars. The wiki calls her a support specialist well below god rank, so B rather than A.
Nina Farion B · disputed
Sword Saint at 16, and her lack of killing intent let her beat Water King Isolte. Eris regularly beat her and Jino beat her in earnest. Disputed: the wiki's infobox says Sword Emperor while its epithet line says Sword King, and a forum post says King. Kept in B because Emperor has one source only.
Senju B · disputed
This is the Sacred Beast, called Leo on the wiki. Orsted says its power is too high to compare with Almanfi's, yet it's barely shown, since it only helped against Gallus while young. Disputed in effect: B is a compromise between that statement and no real feats, and all stats are estimates.
Almanfi B
Summoned spirit who rules the light spirits and serves Perugius. Fought Sword King Ghislaine on equal terms and dodges the Longsword of Light. Reida cut him in half in an instant, which keeps him below A.
Gallus Cleaner B
North Saint. Held off a group of Doldia warriors alone and kept young Rudeus on the defensive despite his Foresight Eye, until a trick from Geese opened a gap.
More B
Captain of Atofe's guards. Regenerates from losing his head or being cut in two, and his experience let him match Rudeus in a battle of magic despite Rudeus's far larger mana.

C tier

Sara C
B-rank archer of Counter Arrow, taught by her hunter father. Had to be saved from an Icefall Treant, so she's a capable professional with no standout feat.
Zenith Greyrat C
Former S-rank party healer, Intermediate in Healing and Detox. Gained a Miko's telepathy after the crystal, at the cost of speech. Rank here is for that party record and Miko power.
Elinalise Dragonroad C
S-rank tank with centuries of experience and strong magic items. Rudeus thought she could go solo, and Atofe praised her footwork, but both call her power low next to Ghislaine or Zanoba.
Linia Dedoldia C
Advanced in Fire magic, with beast race agility, strength and Howling. Rudeus stopped her and Pursena at school.
Pursena Adoldia C
Advanced in Healing magic, with beast race agility, strength and Howling. Rudeus stopped her and Linia at school.
Ariel Asura C
Not a fighter, and the wiki says so. Rated C as the queen of the strongest kingdom, who survived assassins and won the throne through politics and leadership.
Cliff Grimoire C
Advanced in every attack element, healing, detox, summoning and divine strike magic. A weak fighter whose value is invention: he helped build the Magic Armor and made Orsted's curse helmet.
Soldat Heckler C
S-rank leader of Stepped Leader, Advanced in Sword God Style and Intermediate in Water God Style. Can close the distance on magicians, even Rudeus.
Geese Nukadia C
S-rank thief, cook and gambler with no strong fighting of his own. Rated C because he was Hitogami's apostle all along and steered major plots from behind the scenes.
Suzanne C
Vice leader of a B-rank party, who commands it in practice and offered to fight alone to cover her team's escape.
Talhand C
Magician of the Fangs of the Black Wolf, Paul's old party. Chose water and wind magic against his people's custom. His exact ranks weren't found.
Ginger York C
Former imperial guard of Shirone, serving Zanoba. No rank or fight is recorded, so the tier reflects her post.
Gyes Dedoldia C
Warrior chief, then chief, of the Doldia tribe, with beast race strength and voice magic. No rank is recorded.
Timothy C
Experienced leader of B-rank Counter Arrow. Solid, but needed rescuing from Snow Drakes and blizzards.
Sylvaril C
Heaven Race servant and the only one of Perugius's twelve who isn't summoned. Draws teleport circles like him. Her fights weren't found, so stats are modest estimates.
Gustav Dedoldia C
Old warrior and village leader with voice magic, badly hurt in battle before Rudeus arrives. No rank is recorded.
Konrad C
Spelled Conrad on the wiki, and the voice credit matches. Advanced Fire mage in his forties, leading an A-rank party. AniList places him in Stepped Leader instead, and that couldn't be confirmed.
Derek Redbat C
Advanced magician and Ariel's guardian mage before Sylphiette. Died holding off a terminate boar for her.

D tier

Aisha Greyrat D
No fighter. Her family calls her a genius, and she founded the Rude Mercenary Company. Int 5 shows that, since tiers here rank fighting.
Shizuka Nanahoshi D
Has no magic power at all and can't use Battle Aura. Her arrival caused the Teleport Incident, and she's expert in summoning theory, which int and skl show.
Lilia D
Intermediate Water God Style. A crippling injury ended her guard career, and she has been a maid since.
Norn Greyrat D
Intermediate Sword God Style. The wiki says she'll likely never pass Intermediate level. Effort, not talent, made her student council president.
Hilda Boreas Greyrat D
Noble with no fighting role.
Juliette D
A child who learned figure making, with no fighting role. Skl 3 is her craft.
Rokari Migurdia D
Villager with no recorded fighting.
Lucy Greyrat D
A baby in the anime. Learns magic from her mother and Roxy later, but her level is unknown.
Sauros Boreas Greyrat D
Lord of Fittoa with political power and no recorded fighting. Cha 4 is his presence.
Luke Notos Greyrat D
Intermediate Sword God Style, and the wiki calls him a mediocre knight. Loyalty is his one strength.
Minitona Dedoldia D
A child rescued from smugglers, with beast race traits and no fights.
Tersena Adoldia D
A child rescued from smugglers, with beast race traits and no fights.
Philip Boreas Greyrat D
Mayor of Roa, cunning and ambitious, with no recorded fighting.
Rowin Migurdia D
Villager with no recorded fighting.
Rakrana D
Spelled Laklana on the wiki. Guardian and caretaker of the Sacred Beast. No fights recorded.
Nokopara D
C-rank adventurer, weak in combat, whose worth is a town information network.
Vizquel D
Petty pet thief of the Zumeba race. Her people's saliva poisons insects, but no real fights are recorded.
Mimir D
Healer of a B-rank party, killed by Snow Buffaloes.
Edna Leylune D
Eris's etiquette and dance teacher, with no fighting role.
Alphonse D
Head butler who took charge of the Fittoa refugee camp, with no fighting role.
Blaze D
B-rank party leader killed by a Red Hood Cobra mid-quest.
Jalil D
Petty criminal with skill at taming animals, which later got him killed.
Lohman D
Spelled Roman on the wiki. Small-time pet scammer killed by Ruijerd while escaping.
Patrice D
B-rank warrior mage with only Beginner wind magic.
Jenius Halfas D
Spelled Jinas on the wiki. Vice principal of Ranoa Magic Academy, with no fights recorded.
Grabell Zafin Asura D
First Prince, skilled at politics, with no fighting role. His page is thin.

Cowardly head of the Notos house, with no fighting role.
