Unit Tier List
Every unit, ranked by a composite score built from the real stats in our database — morale, charge, defence, firepower, and (for ships) guns, speed, and hull. Tiers are a heuristic, not gospel: context, price, and your faction’s roster matter. Use the comparator to verify any matchup.
How tiers are assigned
Within each class we sort by the composite score above, then split the ranked list into S (top 15%), A (next 25%), B (next 35%), and C (the rest). A unit in C is not “bad” — it may be cheap, specialist, or region-locked.

Read this before you build
- Cost & availability aren’t in the score. A pricier S-tier unit you can’t afford or recruit is worse than an A-tier you can field turn one.
- Role fit beats raw tier. Skirmishers score low here but win battles as screens and snipers.
- Faction matters. Filter the database by your faction — you can only build what’s in your roster.
